Douluo: The Villain Is More Popular Than the Protagonist

Han Xing transmigrates to the Douluo Continent and awakens the Ultimate Popularity System.

As luck would have it, an anime called Douluo Continent has just begun airing in a certain Blue Star world-and no original novel exists there.

"If that's the case, then I won't hold back. Don't blame me for stealing the protagonist's spotlight!"

And so, Han Xing joins Spirit Hall, subdues Bibi Dong, and leads a commoners' organization in resisting the evil deeds of Tang San, a scion of the nobility.

"You want to destroy Slaughter City, the prison for evil spirit masters? Did you ask my permission?"

"You want to wipe out Spirit Hall and force everyone to live under the nobility's rule? Not a chance!"

As Han Xing thwarts Tang San again and again, viewers soon begin to realize that something is off.

"Wait, why do I keep feeling like Han Xing is the righteous protagonist, while Tang San is the evil villain?"

As the viewers compare the two, they discover that the protagonist and villain have completely switched roles.

Han Xing vs. Tang San:

An ordinary orphan - A human-Soul Beast hybrid.

A gifted commoner whose martial soul was awakened for free by Spirit Hall - The son of Clear Sky Douluo from the Haotian Sect.

Overthrows the madwoman serving as Supreme Pontiff - Establishes the Tang Sect, an organization of assassins.

Enforces the law across the continent and imprisons evil spirit masters - Destroys the prison for evil Soul Beasts.

Leads commoners in resisting aristocratic rule - Suppresses commoners to prioritize the nobility's interests.

Gives back to the orphanage where he grew up - Leaves life in Holy Soul Village completely unchanged...
