Villain Too Many Children of Destiny, I Choose to Lie Flat

Bai Feng transmigrated—and he has a younger sister born with Immortal Bones. He initially thought that as long as he clung tightly to his sister’s thigh, he could live a carefree life in this perilous world of cultivation. Until he woke up one day to discover that his mother was preparing to extract his sister’s Immortal Bones and implant them into him. Only then did he realize he was holding the villain script! Right at that moment, the System appeared. As long as he targeted any Child of Destiny and seized the Child of Destiny’s providence value, he could receive generous rewards. At the same time, however, if he plundered too much providence, it would draw the Child of Destiny’s wariness—or even outright hostility. Looking at the three Children of Destiny in this single city, Bai Feng decided—forget it! Whoever wants to be the villain can go ahead; there are already three Children of Destiny in this one city alone. He didn’t even dare imagine how many Children of Destiny might exist across the entire world. So, when the sects were recruiting disciples, he avoided that sect full of Children of Destiny. He also steered clear of those professions they frequented. Every day, he would just draw some ecchi arts, listen to music, and do whatever he felt like. Many years later, Tianji Tower had the opportunity to interview some Children of Destiny who were close to Bai Feng, asking them for their thoughts on him: Child of Destiny A: “No one understands Bai Feng better than I do. He’s nothing like the rumours that claim he coveted the Immortal Bones out of selfishness. On the contrary, he has no interest in Immortal Bones and has secretly been protecting his sister all this time.” Child of Destiny B: “Many people call me a Child of Destiny, someone fated by the heavens. But in my opinion, Brother Bai is the true favored son of heaven. He’s warmhearted and upright, walking the path of immortality with an ordinary body.” Meanwhile, Bai Feng, who was watching this interview, slowly tapped out a ‘？’ They’re slandering me! And you bunch of Children of Destiny—stay away from me!

## My Thoughts on Villain Too Many Children of Destiny, I Choose to Lie Flat This novel, *Villain Too Many Children of Destiny, I Choose to Lie Flat*, is quite a ride. It's a xianxia story with a modern twist, and while it has its flaws, I found myself enjoying the journey for the most part. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the premise. A protagonist trying to avoid the typical "Child of Destiny" tropes while also trying to avoid doing anything that might make him a target? Intriguing! The early chapters were particularly strong, setting up a unique blend of system comedy, family dynamics, and, surprisingly, a career as an underground ecchi artist. Yes, you read that right. Our MC decides to use his modern knowledge to revolutionize the NSFW art scene in this cultivation world. It was definitely a breath of fresh air in a genre often bogged down by repetitive storylines. ### What Works Well The characters are a definite highlight. I appreciated that the side characters, especially those within the MC's inner circle, felt distinct and well-developed. They had their own quirks and personalities, which made the interactions more engaging. The system, despite being overpowered, serves more as a comedic element than a serious plot device, which I found refreshing. It's self-aware and cracks jokes, preventing the story from taking itself too seriously. I also appreciated that the MC's modern sensibilities continued to influence his actions and decisions throughout the story, preventing it from becoming just another generic cultivation novel. ### Areas of Concern However, as the story progressed, I noticed some cracks in the foundation. The initial charm of the art-focused plotline started to fade, becoming less and less relevant as the story moved forward. The antagonists, unfortunately, fell into the trap of being cardboard cutouts, lacking the depth and nuance of the other characters. I also felt that the plot started to rely more on convenient plot armor and forced developments, which detracted from the overall experience. The MC's personality seemed to shift at times, becoming more akin to the typical arrogant protagonist found in many Chinese novels. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers might be turned off by the harem aspect, especially the development of certain female characters. The Su character, in particular, undergoes a transformation that some might find jarring and unconvincing. She goes from being an arrogant rival to a submissive member of the harem, which feels forced and lacks proper development. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, I'd still recommend giving *Villain Too Many Children of Destiny, I Choose to Lie Flat* a try, especially if you're a fan of the xianxia genre and looking for something with a unique twist. While the quality dips as the story progresses, the initial premise, engaging characters, and comedic elements make it an enjoyable read, even if it doesn't quite reach masterpiece status.
