This is a great novel that is somewhat hindered by its pacing and underdeveloped characters. Despite being much shorter than it should have been, I still enjoyed it a lot.
One of my favorite moments in any martial arts novel is when [she pulls out a shotgun and starts taking down foes left and right in the most gangsta way].
The weakest aspect, I think, is the portrayal of the villains. Almost every antagonist, with a few exceptions, seems to have the intelligence of a ten-year-old. They are overly emotional and incapable of planning more than a few steps ahead. While this might be common in this genre, it repeatedly broke my immersion.
Additionally, the fast pacing means we don’t get to know the characters well, especially the protagonist’s bodyguard. She does undergo some development towards the end, but it’s not enough to make you truly empathize with her in a meaningful way.
If you're looking for a light-hearted novel about a protagonist constantly pursued by obsessive love interests and trying to escape their attention, "Fated to Be Loved by the Villains" might be the perfect choice. It's an entertaining read that encourages you to suspend disbelief and dive into the antics of Dowd Campbell, a character whose eccentricity provides plenty of humorous moments. In my opinion, it's a delightful, laugh-out-loud book.
In all and in all, if you have patience this isn't a bad novel it's cool but here's a couple of things you gotta look out for;1. Over exaggeration There's so much exaggerating in this novel that it's sometimes hard to read, you'll see stuff like; "his opponent was powerful and wielded the powers of the scorching sun, but how could he with stand the powers of the flower burial sword," or something like "the golden dragon might be strong but the heavenly dragon is the lord of all dragons." if you can get past corny lines like these you're good to go.2. There are too many dragonsLike seriously prepare for this one. when you read other novels like King of gods or ye Qinyu's immortality emperor, dragons there are like OG sacred strong and fierce creatures but here nope! you'll see, purple dragon, white dragon, azure dragon, golden dragon, blue dragon, power rangers Dino thunder(just kidding with this part ?) but there's more dragons in this novel than dungeons and dragons. This might just be me but I found it obnoxious and repetitive sometimes.3. Polygamy is the order of the dayNormally in the ancient times powerful men can take multiple wives so long as they have the ability to cater for them, I can understand that, even some of my favorite novels like king of Gods or even AGM do this but it's in a more let's say acceptable manner there. But not Lin Yun this brother can confess the heavens, earth, and sky beyond to Su Ziyao at sunrise and be tethering weiwei's bed by night fall. As someone who's been here reading all sorts of novels for five years and counting this just wasn't giving at all would have been better to just have the MC focus on gaining strength and cultivation than include his weird romance scheme and awkwardly developed escapades with his ladies but oh well that's my humble submission.If you can get past all these and you don't mind at all, then please by all means give this novel a shot the MC is hard working and smart his only awkward trait is that there's little to no mention of his prowress as a lawyer in his former life but it's fine... Plus there's a really cool sword technique I came to fancy... "Sword Of the Beginning" move gave me chills when ever he whooped it out.Happy reading peopleHave a blessed day
I like to think of myself as a poison taster but

Admin, don't mark things as spoilers when they were mentioned in the first chapter or described in the synopsis >. >
I’m really not into teen romance but I might say this book is really interesting
the new chapters are amazing, please continue as I'm hooked all over again.
beautiful story yet painful
Re-readinggggg
Such a beautiful and complex world that Jane Doe created. This story had so much adventure, colorful characters, and the mythology was fascinating. I really hope there will be a sequal!
