I Became the Academy’s Kibitz Villain - Chapter 263: Tactical Nuke Drop (2)

The content of “Bangja Chronicles” (by Night Blossom Latte) revolved around an assertive woman named Seong Chunhyang meeting both Bangja and Governor Byeon.

From Lee Mong-ryong’s perspective, it’s a thoroughly NTR (netorare) work.

NTR was a crime.

To quickly clear up any misunderstandings, in this world, NTRwas is defined as a crime.

NTR.

Netorare.

The act of stealing someone else’s lover.

It’s something that also happened in reality, and it’s a genre that often sparked debate about why we needed to see this kind of thing even in creative works.

In this novel’s world, this genre was classified as a crime.

Why was NTR a crime? It seemed unnecessary to explain, but it’s because it could significantly negatively impact the mental state of ability users.

-Be happy, brother.

-Hyuuung!!

The protagonist’s respected older brother dies.

The protagonist’s crush was NTR’d by the enemy.

If asked which caused more mental damage, nine out of ten would say the latter.

-Isn’t the death of a family member more impactful?

-People dying… I’m used to it.

-Oh.

The death of a family member was familiar to some, and as many people were born into the world, many also died, so death was not a crime.

If dying itself were a crime, then all deceased would be considered criminals.

While the death of a person could mentally impact an ability user, death was something that was equally given to everyone, so it couldn’t be helped.

But NTR was different.

It’s something that shouldn’t happen, didn’t need to happen, but when it did, it felt incredibly filthy, unpleasant, and infuriating, making you want to kill the one responsible.

When I was previously in Ulleungdo, a bride who had just had her wedding at the port was NTR’d by her sister.

And she became a demon.

She became a demon out of rage to kill the man.

Regarding this, some people said:

-That’s a real-life case, but creative works are different. Isn’t it problematic to censor the realm of art?

-What if someone forces such art on ability users? And what if an ability user becomes a demon because of an NTR storyline?

-It would be… horrific.

To protect the mental state of ability users, many different types of cultural content had been censored in this world.

There were many things I didn’t want to name, and many things that shouldn’t be mentioned.

The most representative of these was NTR.

And among NTR, the most taboo was inserting NTR into pure love stories.

-Stop pushing unhappy porn on people who live happily! Why are you so desperate to break up happy couples? Why do these gold sun-like things always ruin sweet couples’ relationships?

That’s the general perception.

-Even in content, I want to see couples being affectionate, not being broken up and cheated on! I don’t want spicy stories!!

And to those who thought that way, I inserted Bangja and Hyangdan, and Governor Byeon into the love story of Seong Chunhyang and Lee Mong-ryong, creating all sorts of chaotic situations.

Why had the story of Seong Chunhyang and Lee Mong-ryong been talked about until today?

Of course, it’s because it’s a pure love story.

Seong Chunhyang didn’t succumb to power and kept her fidelity and integrity towards her beloved man, and Lee Mong-ryong, despite his success in the past exams, kept his promise to marry Seong Chunhyang.

Even under the threat of Governor Byeon, they didn’t waver,

Even when seeing Lee Mong-ryong disguised as a failed scholar, she didn’t switch,

Even if Seong Chunhyang had already been harmed by Governor Byeon, he didn’t abandon her,

They overcame all adversities and had a happy ending based on their love and trust in each other, a perfect pure love story!

Inserting NTR into such a pure love story?

That person deserved to be executed immediately.

If someone in this world wrote a strange story with the Chief, I had the intention to rush over and break their skull.

However.

As the saying goes, when I do it, it’s romance, but when others do it, it’s an affair.

While I myself detested NTR, I reached out to NTR to bring out Hyangdan.

‘Of course, I didn’t read it.’

I merely glanced at the first page of comments on Bangja Chronicles’s reactions created by the slaves, I mean writers, in the Chaos team and then closed it.

-Are you insane?

-How could you write something like this?

-What if someone reads this and becomes a demon?

-It turns me on.

-Is that guy crazy?

As Master Gongsun Qiu Sang says, when five people gather, one must be trash, and the reactions in the first page comments were about 4:1 divided.

-It’s just a creative work, what’s the big deal?

Some people saw it that way, but most were criticizing the author for turning Tale of Chunhyang into an NTR affair story.

Naturally.

I asked for this provocative content to be written targeting such common reactions.

Of course, I told them to adapt it so people wouldn’t get too much of a shock, but the fact that Seong Chunhyang and Lee Mong-ryong don’t end up together is enough to give viewers a culture shock.

‘It’s not for nothing that I pulled out the last resort.’

I didn’t want to create something like this myself.

But sometimes you had to do worse things to kill Laplace’s demon.

-It’s not real NTR in real life, so why such a big reaction over something in a novel?

-Reality is worse.

In reality, foreign men were captured, enslaved, had their heads shaved, and bombs planted in their heads, making them work until they die.

Those who seemed likely to produce good ability users were used as breeding studs and disposed of when no longer useful.

Newborn children were used as soldiers or turned into mana powder.

Women were imprisoned in underground facilities on inescapable islands to become factories for producing ability users.

‘To prevent such realities, finding and killing Hyangdan is the fastest way to prevent creating more demons.’

I judged that spreading an NTR adaptation of a classic novel as bait wasn’t a big problem to prevent such realities from happening.

Right.

Even if I committed such absurd taboos, the Secret Society would do anything for world peace.

And that’s what a ‘Villain’ was.

Even if this situation caused confusion and fear for many people—

“Oppa, this is interesting.”

“Hyera…?”

I hadn’t read the content, but Yoon Hye-ra, who had seen the novel, handed me her tablet with sparkling eyes.

“What is it? Why is it interesting? Is it because Byeon Hak-do is an ability user? Or is it because this Lee Mong-ryong guy comes across as really pathetic…?”

“…….”

Bangja Chronicles.

It had been adapted to a modern setting.

I had thought of the “Joseon Erotic Love Story,” but it turned out to be a K-modern romance fantasy.

“The world forces Chunhyang to become a virtuous woman, but she lives as her heart desires. I think it’s really cool. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a proactive female protagonist.”

“…Wait a minute. Wasn’t this an NTR novel?”

“Compared to the classic original, it is NTR. But if you look at just this novel, it’s a romance fantasy about a bold heroine who flirts with several men.”

“What? Wait, what do you mean?”

“Oppa, didn’t you look at the content? Didn’t you provide the idea?”

“I did provide the idea, but I didn’t say it should be modern…!”

In other words, although it took its name from Tale of Chunhyang, this NTR piece written by the Secret Society’s slave writer had turned into a steamy romance story set among modern ability users.

“No way. The community was in an uproar calling it an NTR piece.”

“That’s the male perspective. The female perspective is different. Oppa. When is this going to be a drama?”

“A drama?”

“Yes. If it becomes a K-drama, it would be great, right? Seong Chunhyang and Lee Mong-ryong were childhood friends, then a supporting character like Bangja appears, and the chaebol chairman Governor Byeon insists that Seong Chunhyang should be his woman. If it were made into a web drama, it would be a hit.”

“What kind of absurd drama… wait a minute.”

Come to think of it.

Wasn’t there no such thing as an absurd drama in this world?

“…….”

In this world, all cultural content was censored.

And because of that, absurd dramas that incited social division and glorified crime have disappeared from TV.

-Author, this person needs to die for the drama’s plot to progress, how should we kill them?

-Can’t we just say they died of natural causes?

-But their age is set at 50.

-Then just say they died from laughing too hard while watching a comedy show.

-Is that okay?

-Ah, then what, are you going to say they died in a car accident? That kind of thing could only be filmed before the Great Cataclysm. If you film something like that now, the broadcasting standards committee will come to censor it immediately!

Stories about people dying could not be used carelessly. When people died on screen, it was almost like re-enactments of safety accidents aimed at children. This was the reality of visual media in this era.

For those aged 15 and above, there could be some blood, but this world didn’t allow the build-up of strong oppressing the weak to progress the story freely.

Lee Mong-ryong being NTR’d from Seong Chunhyang was something that could never be presented as an all-ages work.

However.

If it was not a desecration of Tale of Chunhyang but a completely new adaptation that took Tale of Chunhyang as a motif?

In comparison to the classic novel and modern novel, it was NTR, but if it succeeded in attracting the attention of a woman named Hyangdan by publishing this novel through the Secret Society?

Be it a comic.

Be it a drawing.

Be it a drama.

Ultimately, it only mattered if we can draw out Hyangdan.

“Hyera.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s not do anything more or less, just focus on this.”

Laplace’s demon.

“We’ll make Hyangdan a K-villain. Hmm… for example.”

She would hold 5,700 characters and approach the writer.

“Even though she is Seong Chunhyang’s close friend, she seduces Lee Mong-ryong, who passed the state exam, with her body…?”

“Then what about Seong Chunhyang?”

“She still loves Lee Mong-ryong, but Hyangdan gaslighted him. She claims that Seong Chunhyang cheated, slept with Bang Ja, hooked up with chaebol third generation Governor Byeon, and went to Ulleungdo. She defames Seong Chunhyang, then goes on a trip to Jeju Island with Lee Mong-ryong and sends photos to Seong Chunhyang as if by mistake.”

“…Shouldn’t you be telling this to Chaos instead of me?”

A moment later.

[…Call.]

Another novel derived from Bangja Chronicles.

The short story “The Villainess Hyangdan” began production.

“The protagonist, Hyangdan… no, let’s call her Han Dan-yeo.”

“Why Han Dan-yeo?”

“Her father’s last name is Han, and her mother’s last name is Dan.”

“???”

Following the pure love NTR bombshell.

“The ending is she marries Lee Mong-ryong and makes herself the beneficiary of his life insurance, then poisons his coffee.”

Another bombshell of a K-drama-style kimchi-flavored villainess.

“The name of the poison is Pong*—”
