Mistakenly Saving the Villain (Novel) Vol. 1 (Special Edition)

Katlyn

Absolutely worth it!!

"If you’re debating on getting this novel just get it! It’s a good read. Those sensitive to s*xual a*sault however should be warned that the love interest was assaulted and this theme is discussed a lot in the book(s). The main character is super refreshing and over all it’s a very good buy :) ["

A wonderful danmei that would highly appeal to fans of SVSSS

"I've already read this story in it's entirety elsewhere, but I rushed to preorder a copy once Seven Seas licensed it for the west. And I'm so glad I did! The merch with the special edition is stunning, but if you haven't read it you'll definitely go "who are these people" for awhile. But even the regular edition is beautiful! The interior artist really captured the characters and the emotions they illustrated and the translation is superb! Now for a short summary of the book itself: the MC is a socially clueless modern man transmigrated into a novel and tasked with saving the novel's MC. But as he's never read it, he doesn't know who it is! He saves someone else (where the title originates) and they begin a long relationship of two socially stunted/damaged people healing together. It's very sweet but HEAVY content warnings for the first few chapters: SA, abuse, and slavery. This content, while not happening in the moment on the page, shapes and impacts the ML for the entire story (not just vol 1). It's a story of healing from what was done to you, what other people made you, and the ML makes Some Choices on how he wants to heal. (He's a vengeance not a forgiveness kind of character!) As a Scum Villain fan, I really enjoyed it. MC is clueless about romantic feelings akin to SVSSS's MC (tho not as willfully ignorant as SQQ) and ML is an obsessive partner who is very well-behaved for MC (similar to LBH in SVSSS—along with a side character like LQY who is not a fan of ML lol) This is a really fantastic story that delves deep into how a survivor can heal and how someone who loves them can support them. Add in some xianxia flavor and a transmigration that goes sideways and you get a fantastic danmei that I think will become a fan favorite now that it's readily available. ["

I was horrified but enraptured

"I absolutely loved it. It's a new yet horrifying take on the Wuxia that is incredibly unsettling and as far as I can recall I've never seen a Wuxia story where the Immortal world is that frickin god awful. The characters are engaging even if I hate 98% of them because they're horrible people lol the main character is interesting if not a bit dense and has that "rich kid" understanding of the world. It's well written, well paced and keeps you interested. ["

Utterly amazing, one of the best BL's I've read in a while!

"As other comments have said, the main story starts with stuff about slave trafficking and a lot of unsavory things happening to the main ML, Yue Wuhuan. Poor guy is traumatized as hell but the main character, Song Qingshi, who admits he sucks as psychology, still manages to make amazing headway with YWH! I haven't finished the novel just yet, but I already want to buy the second book, can't wait for the third to come out! ["

Devoured this one immediately ❤️

"To summarize my take on this book: I read the whole volume within just over a day of receiving it as a preorder. You could say I liked it. 😂 The interactions between the main couple are just so sweet! The characters were also highly compelling. The love interest, Yue Wuhuan, is referred to as “the villain” in the title. However, he is more like a brief side character in the original story. He is a slave who has been horribly abused by his masters in every way. The kind-hearted Song Qinshi can’t help but intervene to rescue him from his awful circumstances. Even if he wasn’t the “main character” of the original story, it would be hard not to feel for Yue Wuhuan. (On a side note, there is a mild trigger warning because of Wuhuan’s background, though nothing is written too explicitly. Also, the relationship between the main couple is nothing but sweet and respectful.) Song Qingshi was a medical student before being transmigrated, and immediately takes to the task of rehabilitating Yue Wuhuan. One of the things I like about Song Qinshi is that he is a certified nerd. His social anxiety and cluelessness about anything to do with love is adorable. Also, as a proud nerd who often flounders in social situations, I find many of his struggles relatable. Qinshi is the perfect match for Yue Wuhuan as he slowly regains his physical and emotional health. There is also plenty of material for future volumes, as there are still many more slaves in similar situations to Yue Wuhuan, and many of the people who hurt him are still at large. I can’t wait for the next volume of this series to come out next year. 🥰 ["
