My Dad is a Popular Manga Villain

In the eighth year after his reincarnation, Albin unexpectedly regained his memories from his past life and realized he had been reborn into a manga. He had become a minor character destined to be adopted by a s*umbag, used for years, left scarred, and ultimately not surviving past the age of 16. Terrified, he quickly crawled out of a burning building and rushed to find himself a new father. He found a cold, stern man with the same white hair and red eyes as his own, and without hesitation, clung to his leg, calling him “Dad.” But it turned out that his new dad had severe self-destructive tendencies. Fearing that his dad might die and leave him vulnerable to being targeted by s*umbags again, Albin worked hard to pull his dad back from the brink of destruction. From that moment on, the father and son relied on each other for survival, and along the way, Albin even managed to win over many kind-hearted monsters. Years later, a remastered version of the manga began serialization. At the age of 16, Albin was shocked to discover that his father, the Pope, was actually the manga’s main villain—a man with grand ambitions who sought to challenge the gods and the arch-nemesis of the story’s protagonist, ranking as the top fan-favorite villain! Albin glanced at his father, who always came home on time with gifts and took care of him. Nonsense! His dad was clearly a kind-hearted, beautiful person with a pure and restrained nature! And that ruthless, brutal, and violent villain—wasn’t he the one who just let Albin ride on his shoulders the other day? That emotionally detached, sickly villain—wasn’t he the one who gently taught Albin magic yesterday? That money-loving, profit-driven villain—wasn’t he the one who spent a fortune for Albin like a generous benefactor? That unpredictable villain with multiple personalities—wasn’t he the one who doted on Albin like a mother? … Why did all the friends he had won over turn out to be part of the villain’s faction? When did he become the childhood sweetheart of the manga’s protagonist? Something didn’t add up!
