Many villains unintentionally become patrons. By accident. Gus Fring built a very efficient empire, and, as a result, he inadvertently created a darkness that less powerful villains orbited around. He didn’t have to explain anything to them. They only had to look at what he did and see that it worked. This type of villainy requires great competence. The villain often doesn’t care about loyalty to those he brings under his umbrella. He only demands results. And, as we see in the case of Walter White’s descent into Heisenberg, his ruthless nature inadvertently calls to desperate players in the drug trade.

Voldemort in Harry Potter created a following not just out of fear but also branding. Death Eaters were part of a cult that believed in the pure-blood ideology of their leader. This is very chilling as it shows how powerful symbolism is. Later in Attack on Titan, Eren becomes an unwilling patron to extremes as his goals are surpassed by the mythos of the following. Most patrons lose control of their own mythos as it grows far beyond what they originally wanted.

Villain patrons can be really good listeners. Tony Soprano is a great example of this from The Sopranos. The way he grasps the problems of his crew members and uses them to his advantage is a pretty messed up form of mentorship. The best kind of villain patrons are pragmatic and psychological manipulators. They may grant power to their followers, but they also grant them a sense of belonging. It can be really toxic and the followers will often stay long after it becomes obvious that it’s bad for them.

This villain patronizing is pretty funny actually. All For One, in ‘My Hero Academia’, didn’t set out to become the symbol of evil that he is today. His powers, and the resources he had access to, were a natural draw for the many outcasts and rejects of society. The same could be said for ‘Star Wars’’ Palpatine and his patronizing of villainy. His hero-worshipping patrons were simply validating their already natural inclinations to be horrible people, particularly in the case of Anakin. This type of character exploit’s a society’s flaws, as heroes ignore them and allow it to occur.

Morally ambiguous characters have always been one of my favorite things to read about, and specifically how certain characters become ‘patron saints’ to the villainous. Of course, the Joker from The Dark Knight is a classic case, in that he’s managed to present a chaotic ideology to the disenfranchised that puts an anarchic twist on the typical liberational ideologies. On the other hand, Death Note’s Light Yagami has managed to present his god complex in a completely rationalized manner, drawing followers to the notion that they are part of a grand and noble quest for justice.

What is more surprising is how patrons can amass a legion of followers without the need for an aggressive recruitment campaign. Such is the case of Ainz Ooal Gown from Overlord. The powerful and indifferent hero of the story creates a void that his would-be followers seek to fill with their own ambitions and desires. These are the best kind of villain patrons, because they are mirrors that reflect the darker aspects of human nature to their followers.

How does 'I Became the Villain the Hero Obsessed' end?

11 Answers2026-06-08
Honestly? This is a divisive book. After so much intense and thrilling cat-and-mouse games between our hero and villain, it does not end with them in love. It does not even end with them together. The end of the story is that the villain wins in some way, specifically that they reject the entire game of hero and villain. They use the hero’s greatest weakness (their obsessive nature) to expose the hero to the public and bring down their authority. We last see the villain on a train, looking out at the unfamiliar scenery of another place, shadowless. It’s a bittersweet but very much open-ended ending. It’s not about them. It’s about him/her. And it’s very freeing. I didn’t want more from this book. I thought that was the perfect ending to it. Many others will disagree with me, though.

How does Adversary to the Villain end?

6 Answers2025-12-30
This is clever. The series sets up a typical 'chosen one' story, but in the end, the adversary isn't 'the one' who won because of a prophecy. Instead, they won because they were stubborn, empathetic and refused to give in to easy solutions to deal with their enemy. The villain wasn’t a destined evil that had to be destroyed. Instead, they made terrible choices after being placed in an awful situation. The ending shows how the future is determined by human choice in the face of insurmountable odds, and how there are no destined heroes or villains. The series is a powerful humanist statement, disguised as a typical fantasy story.

What happens at the end of Villains Are Destined to Die?

Most people get hung up on who she ends up with in the end, but I think it’s really amazing that she ends up with herself. After regaining her memories from her past life, and garnering enough grit from surviving in this one, she’s able to build something completely her own using the knowledge she’s gained from both worlds. Her identity, past, and future are all hers again, and she’s freed herself from the deathflags/character settings that threatened to constrain her in this life as well. The romantic storylines all get wrapped up more or less satisfactorily, but ultimately, they’re all just part of her journey to arrive at this point, where she’s standing at the horizon, free to go wherever she wants. It’s a very feminist ending for a genre typically marked by the objs being conquered by their love interests.

How does Rebirth as the Villainous Duke differ from other stories?

8 Answers2025-11-02
A rather interesting take on the burden of authorship. The Duke tries to change the story as it unfolds, ultimately becoming the author of a new and unpredictable story. It follows all the normal problems of any story: pacing, character motivation, unexpected plot holes. The Duke’s frequent frustration at the actions of his characters is akin to that of a writer whose characters refuse to do as they are told. This meta-commentary on story telling is an added layer to the film that allows people who write and create to relate to the Duke’s troubles.

What is the plot of My Possession Became a Ghost Story novel?

It’s one of those stories where the MC has no idea how creepy she actually is. She thinks she's just living out a fantasy novel plot, but from everyone else's POV it’s basically a ghost story.

How does i am the villain end in the original novel?

Hah, I saw it coming. The main character was the CEO of his own evil empire and had been working 24/7 to maintain it, fighting fires and backstabbing people left and right. He obviously reached a point where he couldn’t take it anymore and retired to a rural setting with a low stress of living, where he can grow his own vegetables in the sun. The “villainy” of the main character was just a metaphor for the cutthroat world of business and the main character’s achievements were not about being evil, but about being able to achieve the ultimate work-life balance and retire to a cabin in the woods, fucking off and spending his days doing whatever he wants. That’s the most relatable happy ending to fiction that I’ve ever read. No emails, no meetings, no office politics. Just him, out in the sun, growing his own vegetables.

'Cloud Sky' by unknown author is the other novel I’ve been reading. It’s a power fantasy from the worst possible angle but it’s written well enough that I won’t list out all the things that the author is avoiding in order to get to the id of his readers and feed it to them without judgment.

How does 'Became an Evolving Space Monster' end?

8 Answers2025-06-13
Bonus material from the author’s Patreon: This is fans’ real emotional end. A tiny speck of the monster’s original human consciousness survives the transformation and is left on a pristine planet. For eons it affects life there, guiding it in tiny ways (no eating for this monster). Eventually a species of humans evolves, and the speck of consciousness is satisfied and goes to shine like the sun it is. It’s a lovely small coda to the story of a monster returning to its human roots. Home.

How does 'The Villain Wants to Live' end?

I felt cheated out of an ending to Rebirth of the Thief Who Sees Through Time. Hundreds of chapters of intrigue and complex magic systems had led me to expect a dramatic and perhaps angst-ridden conclusion but instead it was resolved by a faintly ridiculous ‘death’ that wasn’t even real. A large amount of development had gone into the Crown Prince and the Saintess’s complicated relationship – we’d seen him consider going against his own morals to save her on more than one occasion – and in the end all of that was cut down and ripped away in a few short chapters and conveniently concluded by having him retire to a small cottage in the country to spend the rest of his days in silence, his many decades of plotting and manipulations having no lasting impact on the kingdom. The entire storyline with the ‘demon king’ (in the end it was just a simple grudge that had been festering for years) had been built up over hundreds of chapters, only to be resolved in a handful of scenes of conversation in the final arc, and the chapters that followed were very rushed as the author presumably tired of the story and was meeting a deadline. A quiet ending would have been fine but it would have had to have been more fully fleshed out in order to have made sense – instead it read as lazy. The little bird that flies down at the end of the book? Unearned sentimentality.

Why was everyone obsessed with me after I became the youngest princess?

8 Answers2026-06-15
Comedy in the obsessed character department is so underrated. I just read a great parody of the genre where the princess was an utterly pragmatic and no-nonsense engineer type instead. Her responses to classic declarations of love and adoration were to tell the poor guy to sort out the water leak in one of the palace bedrooms, or to summon him to a business meeting, where she would go into battle mode over some perceived slur on her character (like being called jealous in front of a crowd of courtiers). It was brilliant, because it allowed the author to poke fun at all the obsessed character tropes, and yet still deliver the expected moments of inspiration when the princess' complete lack of romantic nonsense was proven to be her greatest quality of all, and won over her man in very sincere and unromantic fashion.
