Rosmei shared the cover for their English release of How to Survive as a Villain Vol. 3, which is the final volume in the series.
The publisher has not yet shared an exact release date, nor provided information on preorders. However, they stated in reply to a Twitter/X user that Vol. 3 would release sometime in 2025.
All international buyers outside of Singapore must go through Group Orders, forwarding services, or other third-party sites, as Rosmei’s publishing license for the series only permits them to sell inside Singapore. This means that these books will not be available for purchase at North American retailers like Barnes & Noble, Indigo/Chapters, or Amazon.
How to Survive as a Villain (穿越成反派要如何活命) is a danmei webnovel series written by author Yi Yi Yi Yi. It was originally serialized on jjwxc in 2018 and ran for 210 chapters (plus 26 extras).
Its manhua adaptation is available digitally in English on Tapas.io under the title This Villain Emperor’s Gotta Charm the Male Lead to Survive!. A physical manhua adaptation was announced in 2023 by Monogatari Novels, but is still not available for sale in English at time of writing due to the publisher’s continuing ownership disputes.
Rosmei does not provide summaries for any of their licensed series. The below summary is taken from DanmeiNews’ series catalogue entry:
Xiao Yu’an died as a powerful CEO, and awoke in the world of his favorite webnovel as the villain. To save himself from his eventual death at the protagonist Yan Heqing’s hands, Xiao Yu’an has to start making some changes to the plot…ones of a romantic flavor.
