The Villain But Make Them The Main Character

Dying right after passing his college exams wasn’t exactly how he planned to start his new life—but fate had other ideas. Instead of moving forward, he wakes up inside The Eternal Rose, a bestselling novel in his world. Worse, he’s not the hero, not even a side character—he’s Lucius Everaine, the infamous villain doomed to die at the hands of four powerful male leads. In the original story, Lucius refused a political marriage between his family and the royal family, forcing his father to adopt the heroine as a substitute. His cruelty toward her led to his downfall, making him a hated character. But now? He has no interest in playing the villain’s role. Instead of following the script, he accepts the engagement—securing his place as the crown prince’s fiancée. The only catch? He has to pretend to be a woman. Everything should have changed. He should be safe. Yet, the male leads, who once despised him, now refuse to leave him alone. The prince, his supposed enemy, treats him with unexpected warmth. His rival—one of the male leads—fixates on him with an intensity that borders on obsession. Even the heroine, who should hate him, shows no fear. He knows the novel’s ending. He was supposed to be hated. Feared. Killed. So why are they all looking at him like he’s the one thing they can’t lose? And more importantly—can he truly escape fate, or is he only rewriting his own tragedy?

Tiara was killed in the real world and then reincarnated to live in the body of a noblewoman in the novel she read named Claudia Ambelynn.

The way to do that, she would try everything so that Harry would really fall in love with her. She was forced to cancel her engagement with Harris in order to take revenge on Duke Harry. How did Claudia succeed in conquering Duke Harry's heart?

There was a popular comic that captured the hearts of readers not because of its plot, but rather the bromance between the two protagonists, a crown prince and a duke. Their friendship & mutual trust led fans to ship them endlessly, with countless fanfiction stories ranging from dating to marriage or even incorporating omegaverse settings. One particular m-preg fanfic novel became extremely popular among fans, where the previously cold duke becomes pregnant. But the popularity of both the original comic and this novel caused everything to become unbalanced, until something strange happened - these works of fiction turn into real worlds that collided, creating an error that connected them together. In the world of the comic: Carlton from the fanfic world gazed up at his husband with longing eyes. "Husband..." He pouted, "Why don't you kiss me today?" Alaric from the comic world recoiled slightly and goosebumps broke out over his skin as he moved away. "Please don't come close to me..." He said tersely. Meanwhile, in another world: Alaric from the fanfic world, pulled his beloved Carlton into a warm embrace and peppered kisses on his cheeks. "Darling, are you mad at me?" Alaric asked affectionately. "It's okay, you're still cute." He leaned down to whisper into his ear before continuing. "But don't forget to comfort all our children, they think you're mad at them." Suddenly, seven children barged into the room and called out to their fathers. "Father, Daddy!" they exclaimed. Carlton's frozen expression spoke volumes about his state of mind as he tried to process what was happening. His murderous gaze fixed on Alaric as he muttered through gritted teeth. "Whose children do you say they are....?"

On his way to deliver food, Lu Chengwen was hit by a car. He thought his life had come to an end, but instead, his consciousness was pulled into a mysterious system and thrown into a web novel world—as the ultimate villain destined to be crushed by the protagonist. The system’s task was simple: Survive until the end. If he could make it without being killed by the protagonist, he would receive a reward to bring back to the real world. For Lu Chengwen, this was not just a game—it was a matter of life and death. His mother’s illness couldn’t wait any longer. He had to survive and return with the reward. But after six failed attempts, he realized one brutal truth—the protagonist was a complete monster! These web novel protagonists were ridiculously overpowered. Martial arts, medicine, gambling, supernatural abilities, X-ray vision—whatever you could imagine, they had it. Worse yet, their luck was downright unfair! No matter how hard Lu Chengwen tried to scheme, escape, or resist, he would always end up getting slapped to death in the most humiliating way possible. Every single time, the protagonist would drop a badass one-liner, grab a beautiful woman, and walk away like nothing happened. But this time—his seventh reincarnation—Lu Chengwen refused to die. He was done being the cannon fodder villain. This time, he would survive. The protagonist is too strong? Avoid direct confrontation—survive. The plot is full of deadly traps? Dodge them—survive. A beautiful heroine smells like trouble? Stay away—just survive. A villain’s fate doesn’t have to end in death. As long as he lives long enough, even the protagonist will eventually mess up the plot! This time, Lu Chengwen is going to break the cycle and change his destiny!

After a gruelling decade-long war, Gabriel returns home not as a hero, but as a man burdened by the weight of his war deeds. His badge of valour feels less like an honour and more like a price tag—a symbol of the part of him he had given up.

When Gabriel uncovers a buried secret at the heart of the capital, his dreams of retirement shatter. Powerful forces move to silence him, and just when all hope seems lost, a god grants him a fable—an ancient power tied to a mission that intertwines with his thirst for revenge. What should have been a new beginning becomes a path of reckoning. If they won’t let him walk away, then he’ll make sure they regret ever dragging him back in.

[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.

"I got transmigrated into a novel because of a bad review?" Eren found his life turned upside down when he woke up as the character that he had just finished cursing in a negative review! Not only had he been reborn as an antagonist that he hated, but he was an Elder at a Devilish Sect?

A character that died within the first fifty chapters?!

Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are an ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either. I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it!

"What?! No... no, this can't be happening... Noah... Noah dies here?! And that damned hero, he gets away with it?! It's called [The Fall of the Hero], for crying out loud! And this is where the author decides to stop writing?!" Ethan, a young man marked by pain in his past, found an escape in [The Fall of the Hero]. This novel depicted the intertwined fates of Liam, the hero, and Noah, the villain. One night, sitting on the roof of a building after finishing the last chapter released by the author, Ethan, overwhelmed by his own struggles and with no reason to continue, decides to end his life.

"So, Diana, what's your excuse for betraying me?" His amber glinted eyes bore into the woman with bloodied, broken blue hair, kneeling in complete disarray. "... you're evil." "Oh, so, looking out for all of you makes me evil?" The man narrowed his eyes, contemplating the echoes of protagonist halos and heroines' mentality, starkly real now. Coming from a world far removed from such grim reality, he had read about these personalities in novels, but experiencing their shortcomings firsthand was a different story. "How am I evil?" He looked down at his foot where a young man, limbless and crushed, lay in a state of complete brokenness, mustering the little strength he had left to utter some words. "... y.. you ba..stard, You killed millions." Hearing these words, the man's internal amusement grew at the absurdity of these hypocritical people. He had eradicated all the evil organizations within the Empire after ascending to his throne. Wars were waged to crush rebellious kingdoms that stood against his Empire, uniting the entire Heidal Continent under one flag—the Selvius Empire. He shifted his gaze towards another woman with pink hair, her body completely broken, supported by a rock to maintain a semblance of balance amidst the devastation. "Hmm, so what about you, Karina? Wasn't your family about to be executed by the Aidiac Royal family? Is it wrong for me to have intervened?" "You killed them without mercy, and although you saved my family, it was not worth it." "I just saved—" "It's bullshit. You could have solved everything peacefully without drawing so much blood." Hearing all this, the man began to understand why those novels depicted these people as hypocritical and low in intelligence. If he hadn't saved them, they would have suffered the most gruesome fate. Yet, despite being saved, these ungrateful individuals chose to blame him. The bitter irony of their ingratitude gnawed at him, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. "Guess you all have the same reasons." The man looked towards the seven people, their disdainful gazes directed at him. He had only aimed to change their fates, to rescue some from slavery, others from crippling circumstances, and a few from inevitable betrayal. Yet, they all blamed him for saving them, unable to comprehend that he had severed the root causes that would have subjected them to excruciating suffering. "Hahaha." "Indeed, now I see." He now understood what those novels had tried to convey—'these idiots think this whole world works like they think it would.'

Rita Oreira, a fun-loving radio host known for her girly gossip, met a tragic end during a home burglary while trying to save her pet parrot. Surprisingly, she transmigrated into a fantasy novel as Lirian Nightwind, a quirky villainess from an evil family, destined to marry the wicked northern duke, Gabriel Sylcrest, who planned to take over the crown. In the original story, Lirian was set to betray Gabriel, leading to her own death by his hands. Fortunately and unfortunately for her, the new Lirian was protected by her two mischievous brothers, who were supposed to die alongside the duke. Their loyalty complicated her plans to escape the dark fate that awaited them all. In this new world, she had to scheme and do unspeakable things with the lunatic duke to protect her true identity and prevent anyone from discovering that she was not the real Lirian. Not only were the tasks out of line, but they were all for pure entertainment rather than any real purpose. As she accepted her life as his wife, she learned that her parrot, which could only say modern phrases, had special powers that made others believe it could see the future. If the parrot said, “Slay, b*tch!” Gabriel would kill a person on the spot. If the parrot said, “Let it cook!” the male lead would banish or imprison the chef, thinking the food was poisoned. If the parrot said, “Sus, very sus!” Gabriel would tear his advisors apart. As Lirian tried to change her destiny and save them all, she discovered surprising truths about those around her, especially Gabriel Sylcrest. Motivated to survive, Rita had to find a way to save them all. “The crown prince—!!!” “Say one more word about another man, and I’ll let my beasts tear him apart.” “You know, my Lord, for a duke who seeks power, you certainly have a way of making a girl feel… vulnerable.” “Vulnerable? No, my dear. You’re mine, and I’ll make sure everyone knows it. If another man even dares to look at you, I’ll unleash my wrath. I’ll have him begging for mercy, and then I’ll enjoy every moment of his despair.” “You can’t just claim me like that.” “Watch me. I’ll mark you as mine in blood and shadow. You’ll be a warning to anyone who thinks they can touch what belongs to me. The moment you’re within my reach, I’ll ensure no one else can ever have you.” “Is that a threat or a promise?” “Both, Lirian. And trust me, the line between love and possession is razor-thin. Cross me, and you’ll find out just how deep my darkness runs for you.”
