I Became the Villain of a Romance Fantasy

The genre was often abbreviated and referred to as RF1.
It was among one of the many web novel genres such as fantasy and martial arts.
If someone were to ask what the difference was between the two genres, there wasn’t much, other than the fact that romance was attached in front of one and the target audience for it was women.

Generally, the “fantasy” genre had male protagonists because their readers were mostly males.
This way, they could easily immerse themselves with the main character.
Similarly with “romance fantasy,” the protagonists were females.
Simply put, if the main character was a female, it’s a RF; if the main character was a male, it’s a typical fantasy. 

Naturally, with “romance” attached to its name, it could only be a true romance fantasy when the “romance” element was included.
The main character in the fantasy story excelled in everything and created a harem.
If the gender was reversed, then it wouldn’t be incorrect to say that the story became a romance fantasy.
Therefore, some novels wrote female protagonists based upon these “fantasy” stories. 

That was the reason why I, a fantasy genre enthusiast, read those romance fantasy stories.

“I wouldn’t have if I had known this would happen though.”

What were the clichés in novels nowadays?

Regression, possession, and reincarnation, otherwise known as RPR2. 

Regression was when the protagonist would regress back in time to climb up the ranks to become the strongest.
Or they would regress after experiencing an utter failure in order to succeed the next time around.
Possession was when a reader of a book or a player of a game would enter and possess a character of the work.
Finally, reincarnation was when a person got hit by a truck, dying in one’s real world, and then being reborn into a new one.

I have now been subjected to that cliché.

Any reader would have thought it at least once.

“I want to go inside a novel and become the main character.”

I definitely have before.
Obviously, I only dreamed about it, I never strongly wished for it to happen.
Unfortunately, the author deity must have thought that the impossible dream I had back then had been a lifelong wish.
Or perhaps they had been drawing lots and I happened to be the one on that ticket.
Otherwise, how could they suddenly transport a person to this world without any notice? 

To be honest, even though I’ve read a lot of these stories, when it turned into a reality and I was one saying, “I opened my eyes and I’m in another world?” It’s embarrassing for me, the said individual.
It’s also confusing because I couldn’t tell whether this was a dream or not.

It has been 5 years since I possessed this body so I’m already used to it, but in the beginning I couldn’t believe it.
As soon as I woke up, I pinched my cheeks.

After enduring years of child abuse under the guise of training from my father, the pain, the vividness of the world I felt with my five senses, all these things told me that this was not a dream, but a reality.

Should I have realized it a tad earlier?

Well anyway, ever since I became aware of this fact, I have been living my life earnestly.
I learned my family’s swordsmanship and obediently followed the education my family set out for me.
Not only was I polite to the higher-ups in my household, I was also courteous to those who were lower in status than me. 

Truthfully speaking, for an ordinary citizen like me who had lived in a caste-less system in 21st century South Korea, I had quite the difficult time.

I wonder who said humans were adaptive creatures? Because sure enough, albeit the awkwardness, I was able to adjust after a few years.

“Young master, you seem to be very nervous.
This will only be a simple meeting to get you two acquainted.
I don’t think you need to be so tense.”

“Even if it’s for formality, this is my fiance, Ken.
She’s different from Sarah and Chloe who I see every day.”

The old butler standing next to me grinned and said, “That’s true,” before gently
