I've never read SVSSS, but I heard the title and knew a normal guy got put into the position of some evil dude in a world with magical elements and there was a group of people (Who I now through exposure know are the Peak Lords)

And with that information I tried to puzzle the plot together and this is what I assumed was going on:

As the title is "Scum Villain Self Saving System" I assumed there was a system in place specifically to save villains

So I assumed that the group of people were effectively an organisation of villains that have succesfully taken over their respective parts of the world at the same time and realized each of the others is enough of a threat to more or less willingly collaborate by building a world government in which they each represent the region they've taken over, helping each other to stay in power in order to ensure they keep their own rule firmly in place

But each of them is also firmly aware that they others would sell them out for a piece of pocket lint and try to take over their region immediatly if they die so they implemented a system that sends a soul from a foreign world into their bodies if they ever die, ensuring that no one notices and they can keep power forever

The protagonist is in this case the said soul and that's where the "Scum Villain" part comes from because suddenly this dude is ripped from his normal life to be like a dictator and he doesn't like that so he's like "Fucking scum villain with their shitass self saving system"

And now he has to pretend that he's the dead guy so the others don't notice and try to wage war or imprison him to get his part of the world while subtly trying to free the citizens and getting closer to some of the other rulers during the meetings by Being A Normal Person

I cannot stop giggling because while this is a banger concept for a story it is prettyyy far from the plot of Scum Villain

In our modern world there’s a novel known as Proud Immortal Demon Way. It’s a stallion novel, so the entire point of it is ‘one guy runs around doing things, collecting women in a harem, and having hot sex’. The book in short consists of half demon, half human Luo Binghe being taken into a cultivator (magic user) sect, being severely abused within the sect, being thrown into hell, crawling back out as a fully recognized demon, and promptly taking over the entire world while collecting over 600 women.

This guy Shen Yuan reads this porn novel for the plot and world building so he gets really upset whenever plot holes or bad characterization shows up in favor of a sex scene. He’s a prominent hater but he’s locked in on reading this massive novel. While he’s in the middle of typing a really angry comment he chokes on his food and promptly dies.

He wakes up in the body of Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe’s master from back when he was a disciple. He’s one of the main antagonists at the start of PIDW. He severely abuses Luo Binghe, treats him like a discardable servant, and eventually is the one to shove him into hell. He’s just an all around asshole who’s perpetuating a cycle of abuse from his own childhood. He’s said ‘Scum Villain’.

Now at the end of PIDW, Shen Qingqiu gets all his limbs chopped off by Luo Binghe and is tortured by him before being killed. Shen Yuan would rather not have his life end with violent torture and he’d also just rather not abuse children, so his primary goal is to manage to survive his role as an antagonist.

This is where the System comes into play. It acts as a menu from an RPG game combined with an AI. Its primary goal is to fix plot holes, improve the storyline, and make the protagonist shine. It can only be seen by Shen Qingqiu and acts as a guide, informing him, providing him missions, and calculating ‘points’. There’s a bunch of different point values including protagonist satisfaction, ‘badass’ points, coolness points, and various skill/stat points. The way the system calculates these points seems pretty random with the system picking and choosing what to reward. The most important thing is that if any of these points values drop to 0, Shen Yuan gets kicked out of the world and back into his dead body. Also if he acts too out of character or reveals his true identity as someone other than Shen Qingqiu he gets kicked back to his body.

So the whole of svsss is Shen Yuan trying to live his life as Shen Qingqiu without either being killed by the system or Luo Binghe. And in the process of this he majorly changes the plot, so many different character’s fates, and ends up with Luo Binghe in love with him instead of a harem of women

Also the peak lords are all part of this cultivation sect. They’re overall good guys, their entire purpose is to protect humans from supernatural forces. Shen Qingqiu’s original character is a terrible person but he does work for a good cause

Does anyone else keep a nightstand or bedside journal? I keep this little pocket Leuchtturm near me in bed at all times for journaling at night. My pen pouch with fountain pens always goes with me as well.

I have heard you say you're 5’10 and tall before and I believed you were tall, but I never bothered looking up what 5’10 is equivalent to in centimeters so I just didn't know how tall we were talking, but I did look it up just now and Holy Shit

I am 5’3 (162 cm) which I did look up at some point and I didn't know that there was such a huge jump between inches?

Gonna start craning my neck up when I send asks for the immersive experience
