If you loved 'Academy of Villains' for its dark academia vibe mixed with morally gray characters and a twisty plot, you might wanna check out 'The Scholomance' series by Naomi Novik. It’s got that same eerie, elite-school-for-outcasts feel, but with magic that’s more brutal and survival-focused. The protagonist, El, is a deliciously prickly antiheroine—think Nyx Erebus but with more sarcasm and fewer apologies. The world-building is dense and immersive, and the stakes feel genuinely life-or-death. Plus, the romance subplot simmers in a way that’ll scratch the itch if you enjoyed the tension in 'Academy of Villains.'
Another pick would be 'Vicious' by V.E. Schwab. It’s not set in a school, but the dynamic between the two main characters—former friends turned rivals with superpowers—echoes the toxic, obsessive relationships in Nyx Erebus’s work. Schwab’s prose is sharper, almost cinematic, and the way she explores villainy feels philosophical. If you liked questioning who the real monster is in 'Academy of Villains,' this one’s a must-read. For something more folklore-infused, 'The Atlas Six' by Olivie Blake has that same vibe of competitive, morally ambiguous geniuses trapped in a high-stakes game, though it leans heavier into metaphysics.

If you loved 'Academy Arcanist' for its blend of magic schools and coming-of-age adventure, you're in luck! There's a whole world of books out there with similar vibes. For starters, 'The Name of the Wind' by Patrick Rothfuss has that same mix of academic magic and personal growth, though it's more lyrical and slower-paced. Then there's 'Sufficiently Advanced Magic' by Andrew Rowe, which dives deep into magical theory and dungeon-crawling—super satisfying if you enjoy intricate systems.
Another great pick is 'Mage Errant' by John Bierce, where the protagonist starts off as an underdog in a magical academy. It's got that found-family feel and plenty of creative spellwork. And if you're into progression fantasy with a school setting, 'Iron Prince' by Bryce O'Connor blends sci-fi and magic in a way that feels fresh but familiar. Honestly, half the fun is discovering how each author puts their own spin on the trope!

If you loved 'Academy of Protectors' for its blend of supernatural training and tight-knit squad dynamics, you might enjoy diving into 'Super Powereds' by Drew Hayes. It's got that same vibe of young people honing their abilities in a structured environment, but with a college setting that adds a layer of maturity. The character development is top-notch, and the way friendships and rivalries evolve feels incredibly real.
Another gem is 'The Rook' by Daniel O'Malley, which mixes bureaucracy with supernatural action—imagine spies with powers but way quirkier. The protagonist’s dry humor and the weirdly fascinating world-building make it hard to put down. For something darker, 'The Black Witch' by Laurie Forest explores magic academies with heavy political undertones, perfect if you crave depth alongside the action.

Kingdom of Villains' has this deliciously dark charm that makes you root for the bad guys, and if you're craving more of that vibe, I'd totally recommend 'The Poppy War' series by R.F. Kuang. It’s gritty, morally ambiguous, and the protagonist’s descent into ruthlessness is chef’s kiss. Rin’s journey from underdog to warlord feels like watching a train wreck in slow motion—you can’ look away.
Another gem is 'Prince of Thorns' by Mark Lawrence. Jorg Ancrath is the kind of protagonist who’d steal your lunch money and make you thank him for it. The book’s raw, unfiltered brutality and Jorg’s twisted charisma give off major 'Kingdom of Villains' energy. If you dig flawed, power-hungry leads who blur the line between hero and villain, these’ll hit the spot.

If you loved the dark, morally ambiguous vibe of 'City of Villains', you might enjoy diving into 'Vicious' by V.E. Schwab. It’s got that same twisted friendship-turned-rivalry dynamic, with superpowers thrown into the mix. The way Schwab explores the gray areas between heroism and villainy is just chef’s kiss.
Another gem is 'The Young Elites' by Marie Lu—it flips the script by making the protagonist an antihero who’s literally labeled a villain. The world-building is lush, and the character arcs are heartbreakingly complex. For something grittier, 'Worm' by Wildbow (a web serial) dives deep into the psychology of villains in a world where the line between good and evil is razor-thin.

If you loved the twisted dynamics and dark romance of 'Villains Are Destined to Die,' you might enjoy 'The Cruel Prince' by Holly Black. It’s got that same delicious blend of political intrigue, morally gray characters, and a protagonist who’s constantly outmaneuvering enemies in a cutthroat world. The faerie court setting adds a layer of whimsy to the brutality, making it feel like a darker 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream' where everyone’s out for blood. Jude’s journey from pawn to player mirrors Penelope’s struggle in 'Villains Are Destined to Die,' and the romantic tension is just as fraught with danger.
Another solid pick is 'The Shadows Between Us' by Tricia Levenseller, where the heroine is literally scheming to kill the king—and maybe fall in love with him along the way. Alessandra’s cunning and the book’s gothic vibes hit a similar note to the manhwa’s tone. For something with more game-like mechanics, 'The Red Queen' series by Victoria Aveyard pits its protagonist against a rigged system, much like the survival stakes in 'Villains Are Destined to Die.' The blend of betrayal, power plays, and a heroine who refuses to be a damsel is downright addictive.

If you're craving more stories like 'The Umbrella Academy' with its mix of dysfunctional superhero families, dark humor, and surreal twists, you've got plenty of options! First, Gerard Way's other comic work, 'The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys,' has that same punk-rock energy and anarchic vibe, though it leans more into dystopian sci-fi. The art style and chaotic storytelling will feel familiar. Then there's 'Doom Patrol'—honestly, it's like UA's weird older sibling. Grant Morrison's run especially dives into bizarre metaphysics and deeply flawed characters, but with heart.
For novels, 'Vicious' by V.E. Schwab nails the morally gray superpowered rivals dynamic, while 'The Extraordinaries' by T.J. Klune is a lighter, queer take on heroics with family drama. If you love UA's time shenanigans, 'This Is How You Lose the Time War' is a gorgeous, poetic spin on cosmic rivalry-turned-love story. And for sheer chaotic ensemble energy, 'Six of Crows' has that found-family heist madness, just in a fantasy setting. Honestly, half the fun is seeing how different creators tackle similar themes—UA's flavor is unique, but these all scratch that itch.

If you loved 'Eternal Academy' for its mix of magic, rivalry, and coming-of-age drama, you might dive into 'The Name of the Wind' by Patrick Rothfuss. The protagonist's journey at the University mirrors the academic intrigue and hidden depths of 'Eternal Academy,' but with a lyrical, almost poetic prose that makes every page feel like a spell.
Another gem is 'A Deadly Education' by Naomi Novik. It cranks up the danger—imagine if the academy wasn’t just about exams but survival. The protagonist’s sharp wit and the school’s sentient, malevolent halls add a thrilling twist. For lighter fare, 'Magic for Liars' by Sarah Gailey blends mystery with magical academia, offering a noir-ish vibe that’s perfect for fans of darker school settings.

If you loved the twisted dynamics and morally gray characters in 'Her Villains,' you might enjoy 'The Cruel Prince' by Holly Black. It's got that same delicious blend of antagonistic romance and power struggles, with a protagonist who refuses to be a damsel in distress. The way Jude and Cardan dance around each other, full of venom and attraction, reminded me so much of the tension in 'Her Villains.'
Another great pick is 'Vicious' by V.E. Schwab, where the line between hero and villain is deliciously blurred. Victor and Eli’s rivalry is a masterclass in complex relationships, much like the ones you’d find in 'Her Villains.' And if you’re into manga, 'Kakegurui' has that same high-stakes, manipulative energy—just swap out the romance for gambling and psychological warfare.

Oh wow, if you loved 'Perfect Villain,' you're in for a treat! There's a whole world of morally complex, deliciously wicked protagonists out there. One that immediately comes to mind is 'Vicious' by V.E. Schwab—it's got that same electric tension between rivals who blur the lines between hero and villain. The way Schwab crafts her characters makes you question who you're rooting for, much like 'Perfect Villain' does.
Another gem is 'The Young Elites' by Marie Lu, where the protagonist's descent into darkness is so compelling you almost don't want her to redeem herself. And let's not forget 'The Poppy War' by R.F. Kuang, which takes villainy to a whole new level with its brutal, unflinching portrayal of power. These books all share that addictive quality of making you love characters you know you shouldn't.
