Beginning

Panlos is the city’s number one villain and has caused havoc for many years. Due to being a genius, he was always ahead of the curve, maintained an upper hand over the heroes, and terrorized civilians and the government.

The only person who could go head-to-head with him was Ye Mu, society’s number-one hero and the strongest in the country. He was fast, had tremendous power, and always hunted for Panlos.

Panlos and Ye went against each other for more than ten years but were never able to finish each other. One day Mu caught Panlos off guard and almost had him on crutches, and it looked like it was finally over.

As he was about to land this decisive blow, Panlos’s mask came off, and the face was similar to that of none other than Ye Mu’s best friend. He could not believe what he was witnessing in front of his eyes.


Result

After coming to terms with the current situation, Panlo’s crimes were too great to forget, even if he was his best friend a while back, as his pride would not allow him to permit the existence of such a criminal.

The only solution available was to kill each other, as both of them had reasons to continue fighting. Panlos desired to kill Ye Mu; meanwhile, Ye was trying to find his father’s killer.

They both pointed their lasers at each other and smiled as if it would be their last meeting or so they thought. Suddenly, due to a blast, everything was fogged in black, and Ling found himself back in the body of his 17-year-old version.

Unfortunately, this event started a chain of events that will rewrite history so that it will not make any sense or logic. Now that Panlos, or Ling, was his real name in the past, he has many opportunities to kill Ye Mu.


Difficulties

Now that Ling was back in the past and knew how the future turned out, it was a matter of his will whether he wanted to follow the same blood path or lead his life into a new era where he was a part of the heroes.

He went vigilante because Ling Chen only loved one person: her aunt, whom the heroes killed. From then on, he decided to wipe out all the heroes in the world, and his main target was Ye.

As the aunt is now alive and well, he contemplates whether it was an excellent decision to turn villain again, but despite that, his desire to kill Ye Mu is still there, and he starts working on his things to put him down finally.

Ling started to gather his crew, whom he knew in the future and decided to ask them for help. Unfortunately, due to being a child, he was not respected or given any attention. He had no other means but to kill Ye Mu himself.

Villan Initialization Plot Review

Panlos is the world’s number one threat and has caused tremendous loss of life and money. Due to him and his crew, all the residents are scared and don’t know what will happen to them.

They are always in fear of being wiped out, as Panlos is known for being non-merciful towards anyone and will kill anyone as long as it does not affect his grand plans. His crew was also filled with S-rank villains.

The only one who could go head-to-head with them was the current number-one hero, Ye Mu. However, he was also not a saint; even though he was a hero, he only persuaded himself to take this position to gain power.

His main aim is to find his father’s killer, beat him to death, and discover why such a good person was murdered cold-bloodedly.

When he finally catches Panola and is about to kill him. Panola returns to the past, where he plots his evil plan to take over the world and kill Ye Mu.


Is Villan initialization worth reading?

The series is one of the special categories of webtoons, as it belongs to the evil protagonist category. This type of story is scarce, and now most of the ongoing series have the same repetitive plot of the good guys beating the villains.

This might help you get a taste of something different from the usual series you might read. The story is impressive, as both main characters have reasons for fighting, but none are pleasant.

Both of them are fighting for their own goals, but surprisingly, the hero of the series also has an ulterior motive, which gives it a unique twist compared to your average series.


Conclusion:

Villian Initialization is a unique genre series, and the characters are unforgettable and supported by great side characters, making the overall story very attractive. Since over 90% of the stories favor the heroes, this one focuses on the villain.

The series grows on you over time, and you start to understand the villains’ points, why they do stuff, and how they feel deep within while doing this heinous activity. It is also filled with humor but does not overpower the main aspects. Overall, this is a great pick, and you should check it out.
