Yin Biyue feels scammed. After dying as a two-bit villain in a multitude of worlds, he dreamed of becoming the Final Boss in the next world he’s reborn into. Unfortunately, the malevolent Fiend Halo he purchased from the Rebirth Company seems to be malfunctioning. Instead of inspiring fear in those who inhabit his new reality, his fellow cultivators see him as…a do-gooder. And this includes the bleeding-heart protagonist, Luo Mingchuan—the very man who Yin Biyue just tried to murder!
Before Yin Biyue knows it, he’s surrounded by allies and the fallout of a misunderstanding that makes everyone in his cultivation sect think he’s the victim. How is he supposed to achieve his dastardly dreams now?! Especially when the mysteries of his forgotten past keep popping up when he least expects them.
I decided to try The Villain's White Halo as a new danmei read because the blurb for this opening volume really appealed to me. I wasn't disappointed as this was a delightful and amusing tale with Yin Biyue constantly failing to comprehend why he's becoming generally adored rather than evolving into an arch-fiend. There was a good mix of humour and martial-arts action, and I ended this first volume keen to see how the story will continue and concluded in the remaining two volumes releasing later this year. I don't think it's going to topple any of my current faves from their top spots, but it still looks like it's going to be an entertaining and enjoyable read. I am giving it 4.5 stars.
