Villains Who Are Broken

Six hearts. One band. Not everyone will stay in tune. When Elliot—heartbroken, guilt-ridden, and still strumming the chords of regret—tries to win back the girl he lost, he sets off a chain reaction that pulls the entire group into emotional disarray. Roxanne wants nothing to do with him. Sienna wants him—for all the wrong reasons. Adrian wants him to heal… but maybe not just as a friend. Mia believes in second chances—for love, and maybe for herself. And Dante? He just wants to keep the group from falling apart. In a band where every beat counts, one wrong note can change everything. Broken Chords is a messy, emotional, and heartfelt ride through friendship, betrayal, love, and the music that ties it all together.

After surviving a brutal winter on the ice plains, a rogue beastwoman named Kaoshi and her three cubs—Chowchow, Xiaoang, and Cowai—rescue a mysterious tiger beastman named Jinling. Despite initial tension and mistrust, especially around the cubs, Kaoshi strikes a bold deal: half of Jinling’s first hunted prey in exchange for saving his life and giving him shelter. As the group begins to bond, Kaoshi’s resourcefulness and fierce maternal instincts slowly melt the walls around her cubs' hearts. Jinling, powerful and proud, finds himself drawn not just to her strength but to the quiet, exhausted perseverance she wears like armor. What starts as an alliance for survival deepens when Kaoshi uses her healing knowledge to awaken her daughter’s rare ability—a talent that later saves a dying beastwoman and earns them a place in the wary Black Market Tribe. But prejudice against rogue beasts runs deep. Kaoshi and her children face discrimination and danger, while Jinling’s fierce loyalty to them places him at odds with tribal norms—and in the crosshairs of ambitious females like the scheming Mile. Throughout these early chapters, the story slowly peels back layers of hurt, mistrust, and sacrifice. It’s about more than just surviving; it’s about what it takes to carve out dignity and safety in a world that sees you as lesser.

Who would have thought that your life could change just because you give a bad rating to a game? Kalandra just wanted to vent his frustration because of the disappointing ending of the game he played. He left scathing reviews and ratings, then intended to forget everything. However, fate says otherwise. When he opened his eyes, he was already in the body of Lucian Hale, aka Navien, the antagonist who died at the end of the main story game he played earlier. The Problem? He doesn't know any of the intricacies of this character other than the fact that Navien is the antagonist of the game. Now he has to survive in the game he plays and find a way to avoid a terrible ending by trying to avoid the main story, especially the protagonist! Cover credit:

I have yet to start preparing for my demise. BUT I'VE DUG GROUNDS IN MY MIND FOR THESE GRAVES. In an effort to prevent anyone from seeing me the way I see myself; I try not to scream while holding my mouth shut while I sob myself to sleep. I WORK HARD TO GET AWAY FROM THESE BRUTILIZING THOUGHTS, BUT THE MORE I WORK AT IT, THE HARDER IT BECOMES. I wish there was a way for me to get out of this never-ending living hell. A MAZE THAT TWISTS MY GUT, HOWEVER, HAS NO ESCAPE. I WORK DAILY TO BE OKAY AND TO GET BETTER THAN I WAS THE DAY BEFORE. However, at the end of the day, suicide is all I can think about. BROKEN YET HAPPY, does that even make sense? They just seemed to fit in perfect harmony for some strange reason.

There’s a trend infecting stories lately—all because of boys reading these stories rather than men. Villains who think being "dark" means having dead eyes, a tragic past, and a dick that solves all problems. They get betrayed once, and suddenly it's their life's mission to destroy the world—or worse, emotionally blackmail heroines in the name of “revenge.” Slap on a black coat, stare at walls, say something like "love is weakness"—and boom, readers start calling them “deep.” But let’s be honest: > They’re not villains. They’re just edgy losers with a god complex and a hard-on trying to satisfy the inferiority of their readers. Some of them turn so cold, they forget why they started. Others get so lust-drunk, they think sleeping with a heroine is “domination.” That making her cry is “control.” They think power is measured by how many women they can ruin. But really? > They’re just boys trying to look like men. Just like their followers who are the boys who hide their masculinity inside a woman's virginity. They go around in the review section asking if the women of the main character would be stolen and all... giving it fantasy names like NTR and all nonsense. As if they want to scream their fear out. "Please don't, I hate it... because I am a gay who doesn't even have the confidence that my woman will remember me once she gets someone better...." one of the loser’s internal thoughts. They don't want their puny hearts to be crushed. Their masculinity is so weak that it crumbles the moment they think about some other man having the women they love and her forgetting those boys for the men. And they just project that weakness of themselves in their main characters, thinking that just like them, their main characters should be weak, should be a fantasy monger who hoards women like trying to hide the incapabilities of those followers who never in their life would have held a hand of a woman. Harem has now become a way to satisfy weak audiences who feel more women mean more security for their hearts. Forgetting that Harem in truth means the masculinity is so HUGE that it needs an ocean of FEMININE to hold. Tch, not like the boys with breakups and fear of being cucked will ever realize. They treat fantasy as escape and character as their way to feel that they are men. So, naturally, to have such a huge amount of followers, authors are forced to pour the density of such books holding such weak characters in the form of the cold MC who collects harem, manipulates one or two, fucks around, and finally satisfies readers until they feel bored and drop the book.... Because to those followers, they themselves realize in the long run that the story isn't satisfying even if the villain is the same cruel man. So why? Simply because they were until now reading kind boys wearing the mask of a man, and acting as a villain. Their MC, just like them, doesn't even know themselves, their needs, and what their inner soul wants... not understanding that... Fucking a woman doesn't make you her god. Breaking her spirit doesn't make you a king. And calling yourself a villain just because you were too weak to heal? That’s not power—that’s coping. And for followers—that's doping. Real villains? They don’t whine. They don’t treat women like checkboxes or trophies. They don’t mistake lust for legacy. > They don’t need to act cruel. They are cruel. Calm. Focused. Dangerous in silence. They don’t need to chase power—they embody it. This story isn’t about a guy who gets played and suddenly thinks he’s entitled to vengeance sex. This is about a villain who doesn’t pretend. He won’t be relatable. He won’t flinch. And no—he won’t treat heroines like holes to pour his trauma into. He’ll change them. Not because he wants them to ask for forgiveness... or some ideas going inside your mind reading all this and getting triggered somehow. Kings build power, and that power attracts Queens. Some build a queen alongside power.

A story about staying alive, even when it hurts. Yuta is tired or living, trying, fighting, simply existing. The world feels black. And then? A simple message, a simple "Hi!" A start of something beautiful. But now? Despite the hurt. A love story where depression and death linger around the corner - but they smile, choosing life one breath at a time.

I had nothing left to live for. No family. No friends. No future. Just a shattered soul wandering through a world that had already taken everything. Then I died. And that’s when everything changed. I woke in a world of light. A void between realms. A place where gods whisper and broken souls wait to be judged. There, I met Ashen Crimson—a man who had once been worshipped, then feared, and finally cursed by the very gods he had defied. A tyrant who had destroyed his own world. But now, he’s offering me something terrifying: His life. His past. His power. His chance to make things right. The catch? The world of Zerawell is fractured. Ashen’s name is soaked in blood. His fate is sealed—exile, ruin, and eternal hatred. And now, it’s my name. Because I’ve been reborn as Ashen Crimson, heir to a house that both reveres and reviles me. A noble with dormant shadow magic, a shattered reputation, and a cursed destiny I never asked for. But I’ve lived a life of pain. I’ve walked alone through hell already. And I won’t follow his footsteps into madness. With a divine system familiar in my soul, a second chance burning in my chest, and the memories of a monster as my burden— I will rewrite this fate. Let them call me villain, disgrace, or traitor. I didn’t choose this story. But I’ll finish it. Even if it kills me.

MMF Dark Historical Royal Romance: - Princess Aveline Ravelynn of Elaria: I was born with silk in my hair, roses at my feet, and five kingdoms whispering about my beauty. But it was the sixth kingdom—Dravareth Kingdom—one hidden in shadow—that came for me. They slaughtered my groom, burned his castle to the ground, and stole me away. I should fear them.

I’m a proud NEET who’s devoured every romance novel, manga, webtoon, and otome game out there. Just when I thought I’d conquered it all, a black bunny appeared in my dream. “Congrats! You’ve been chosen to help villains win across multiple worlds!” “Like a game?” “Uh . . . sure.” “Great, I’m in!” And just like that, I became an agent of the Villain System. Time to rewrite some happily-ever-afters—villain style. **[NOTE!]** This novel features multiple short arcs, each exploring different tropes such as ancient China, the modern world, beasts, werewolves, vampires, fantasy, school romance, idol groups—you name it! The twist? Each arc focuses on our MC making the villain (male) triumph over the male and female leads. The story is written primarily in 2nd and 3rd person POV for a dynamic and immersive experience. || Excerpt || [WARNING! MATURE Content Ahead!] “Then serve me . . . properly.” The command was both sensual and authoritative, and Xue Li’s pulse quickened under his intense gaze. The air between them grew heavy, her trembling hands faltering as she began to run the sponge across his chest, her touch featherlight against his scars. “Y-yes your majesty.” Han Feng leaned back slightly, watching her through half-lidded eyes, his expression unreadable. “Slower,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that made her pulse skip. “You’re trembling,” he said, his voice velvet smooth, making her flinch. “I-It’s the steam, Your Majesty,” she stammered, though she knew it was a poor excuse. Han Feng chuckled softly, the sound deep and rich. “Hmm . . . Is that so? Then you have no problem cleaning my cock right?” Xue Li's eyes trembled, on the verge of tears, which seemed to please Han Feng. His smile grew wider as he urged her on. "Go on. You're going to serve me properly, aren't you?"

Entire human population gets transmigrated to unkown world full of dangers out of its understanding. Neil Hayes, your typical friendly neighbourhood university drop out gets separated from others during the process. Now he must survive on his own and find his way back to his people.

In a revenge story where an Omega, whose beloved Alpha husband and family were murdered, fakes a marriage with an Alpha from the enemy family to exact revenge, what are the potential pros and cons that might arise?

The group had been inseparable since freshman year, sharing countless memories, laughter, and tears. But little did they know, their friendship was about to be put to the test.

In a world where countless web novel universes intertwine—where soldier kings, mercenary overlords, god-tier tycoons, and even demons clash in brutal battles—protagonists rise, charm breathtaking heroines, seize boundless opportunities, and fight tooth and nail for supremacy. But among them, there is one man who stands above all. A man who has finally crossed into another world. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the body of a young man named Veil Lancaster. "A villain doomed to be trampled by the protagonist? Am I really just a disposable side character?" Veil muttered. But why should he accept that fate? His father wielded absolute power. His mother was a legendary business magnate. What made the so-called "protagonist" any more special than him? Luckily, at that very moment, he awakened the Villain System. One day in the future— "Veil! You crippled me, stole my chances, and even took my woman! You bastard! You’ll pay for this! Heaven will punish you!" A protagonist roared in fury, coughing up blood. Veil smiled faintly and said, "I didn’t do anything. This was simply your fate." "A pawn has only one destiny—to be placed exactly where I want it." Remember this well. I, Veil Lancaster, desire nothing more than to be a charming and wicked villain.

Asher never liked following the rules. In his old world, he was just a regular guy, stuck with the same boring life and no real power. But when he got thrown into a new world, he thought things would finally be different. Instead, he became an extra. Just another background character with no special abilities, no status. It pissed him off. How could he, someone who always wanted to break free and live on his own terms, end up like this again, even in a new world? Then, the System appeared. [Ding] [System implementation process begins; you are chosen to inherit a personalized System. You can choose to become a Great Hero or an Evil Villain. By completing tasks assigned to you based on the path you choose, you can earn mystical rewards, wealth, and power beyond your wildest imagination. Do you accept the System?] Asher stared at the glowing message, his frustration boiling over. Hero? That was a joke. Heroes followed rules, played by society’s ideals, and lived to help others. He’d had enough of that nonsense. “I don’t need to be a hero,” Asher muttered, his voice laced with contempt. “I’ve been held back enough. I’m done with that. I’ll do things my way.” Without a second thought, he clicked on the Villain option. He wasn’t about to waste time pretending to be someone he wasn’t. [Ding] [Villain path chosen. Rewards will be granted upon completion of tasks.] A cold, wicked grin spread across Asher’s face. This was it. No more being an extra. No more following anyone’s rules. Now, he had the chance to take control, to carve out his own future with power, wealth, and freedom. The world would bend to his will. “Who says I can’t be a villain?” Asher whispered, a dangerous gleam in his eyes. "Let them try to stop me." ***** No NTR , No Yuri

After eons of absolute rule, the Supreme God has decided to abandon the throne. But who will take their place? The gods won’t fight for it themselves... humans will. Millions of boys and girls, all between the ages of 16 and 21, are thrown into Aetherion, a planet crafted by the gods—a world both beautiful and brutal, filled with mythical creatures and deadly challenges. Why choose young people? Because they are impulsive, emotional, unstable... and for the gods, that's the perfect entertainment. Each human is assigned to a deity. The more powerful the god, the larger their group of chosen ones. All participants receive blessings that enhance their strength, agility, and endurance—but these don't equalize them. If someone was stronger before, they'll still be stronger after. The blessings are meant to help them face the monsters of Aetherion… and make the spectacle even grander. Gods can grant a select few divine weapons—rare, unbreakable artifacts reserved for the most promising individuals. But there’s an even deeper mystery: within each group, only one person can awaken a secret power, triggered by fulfilling a unique, personal condition set by the Supreme God. Not even the deities know what that condition is. The power grows stronger the longer it’s held… and once someone unlocks it, the others can’t—unless that person dies. Alliances, betrayals, unlikely friendships, and forbidden love—nothing is off-limits. But in the end, only one will survive. Only one will ascend as a demigod, earning a place in the divine pantheon. Divine Games is a story of redemption and second chances—an epic, emotional journey that blends action, drama, comedy, romance, and tragedy. In a world where gods gamble with human lives, the real battle is discovering who you truly are… before someone else erases you forever.

Carson never asked to survive. He was sculpted in silence, sharpened in fire — the byproduct of a forgotten war and a father who sang lullabies in the language of betrayal. At fourteen, he was already a weapon. At seventeen, he’s a ghost in plain sight, haunting the hallways of a prestigious school by day, while dismantling criminal empires by night. But even ghosts bleed. When a chance reunion with Elise — the girl he once protected, then abandoned — throws him back into the chaos of memory, Carson’s world fractures. Elise is no longer the shy girl from the compound. She’s powerful. Untouchable. And unknowingly standing in the line of fire. Together with a group of outcasts held together by trauma, genius, and vengeance, Carson uncovers a sprawling conspiracy buried beneath glamour and blood: a secret organization that traffics in pain, memory, and forgotten children. The deeper he digs, the more he unravels — about them, about himself, about the horrors he buried in Morocco, in Berlin, in the sound of a lullaby that now drives him to the brink of madness. As old enemies rise and alliances fracture, Carson is forced to confront the brutal question he’s been avoiding all his life: Can someone so broken still choose love over violence? Or is he already too far gone?

I spent my whole life in luxury, among people who loved me or at least pretended so. I never had to care for anything, all was given to me. From one day to another I became a prince of nothing. A former royalty with no family, no power and no bright hope for the future. Even worse, I was sold as a slave. However I will not give up. I might be young, alone and inexperienced but I will learn to fight for myself, get my revenge and find my own place in this world. … I hope so at least.

[If you are looking for a slow romance, you can give it a check if not, you'll be disappointed] Aera, a young 28-year-old was about to make her dream debut by opening her own floral shop that could be shipped in and around. Nevertheless, things didn't go as she planned. One would say that transmigrating to a book sound like a fantasy, however to Aera, it became a nightmare when she woke up in an unknown world even when she hasn't died yet. With an unexpected turnout, her life was hanging by a thin thread. Aera was presented with an option-either she goes back to her world with her memory erased or enter the other world, and comes back with the memory intact to have her revenge. Never did she expect of choosing the worst villain of all. A character in a book where she killed the Empress and her unborn child. Worst, the male lead was reborn time after time with his memory intact. His grudge still hung on torturing the villainess. Even more worst, the ML was a split image of her long-time crush. ----- "Do you hate me that much?" As soon as the question was raised, a table lamp flew past through the said person, smashing against the wall behind him. "More than enough to kill you right now." The female figure responded with nothing but hatred and disgust in her tone. Her jewel eyes that glow under the dark never left her gaze on the other male person who was sitting on her opposite. ----- The male lead wasn't the only one Aera had to put a guard on but even other characters when one after the other began to make an appearance. The more the flow gets out of the plot the more twisted it gets. Her only goal was to survive so she could go back home.  P.S:- English is not my first language and I am weak in grammar. I'll be happy to receive either a critics or feedback or comments...^-^ Please do give it a read till chapter 3 or above to get the clear picture.

“If this world needs a villain to change its fate… then I’ll wear the horns myself.” I was just an ordinary reader—until I woke up inside the very novel I had finished reading. My new identity? Samuel Nightshade, a third-rate extra. A background character. A nobody. A disposable pawn. In the original story, Samuel was humiliated, dumped by his fiancée, mocked for his weak element… and then killed off to push the Hero’s journey forward. But now I’m him. And I know how it all ends. The world is on track to collapse — not because of the villain, not even the Hero — but because of a prophecy no one understands and a fate no one can escape. Until now.

Villains. Villains a character of a story whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot. Important. Villains are important because, if not for the Villains, the Protagonist will never shine. But, here's a important thing. Why Villains always lose and the Protagonist always wins? Simple... because everything is planned.

In a vast multiverse of countless timelines, chaos always lurks at the edge of existence. From collapsing worlds to villains who threaten to rewrite history, the duty of keeping order falls to the Supreme Timeline — the central universe that governs and protects all others. The Time Keeping Agency is its first and last line of defense. Alen Hampson is a junior officer — the lowest rank in the Bureau of Time Police, mocked for having no Emo, the bonded companions that grant agents their power. His assignments? Cleaning up dying timelines, babysitting prehistory, and getting laughed at by higher-ups. It all started with a weird little Emo. Not his. Probably not even an Emo. Sure, it looked cute and harmless—but it could eat bullets. And things far scarier than that. Life was still kind of normal... until it really, really wasn’t. Alen Hampson got assigned a random mission (because, of course, no one else was free), and boom—an accident. When he woke up, he wasn’t Alen anymore. He was… a wiggly smoke ball. With arms. With legs. And a whole team of scientists at TKA Research Lab treating him like he might go nuclear any second. From that day on, the quiet student vanished. And JAKAL was born. A so-called anomaly. A walking mystery. A villain killer. On a mission to uncover the truth behind TKA, and a hidden world of superpowered beings no one talks about. I’m a writer who flows with the chaos—so expect the unexpected, the wild, the strange. Join me. Support the story. Let’s dive into the madness - Aokami (Call me Aki)

Arian Von Vallen is a student at Solaria Magic Academy, known as a failed noble—unable to cast even the most basic spell, "Create Light." But in truth, Arian is far from weak. He deliberately restrains his power and pretends to fail in order to hide his true identity. During training, Arian is humiliated by Kaelen Valerius, an arrogant student from another noble family. Only his friend, Zaken De Efasa, remains supportive. The atmosphere shifts when Verina Von Hevora, a revered prodigy, performs a high-level lightning spell with flawless precision.

All the failure and clumsiness are part of an act. When night falls and the magical world sleeps, Arian sheds his mask. And in that moment, Kayze—his true identity—awakens.
