Plain Bad Heroines Novels & Stories

The sweet and gentle heroine needed someone tall, handsome, and strong to come in and fight her battles for her. This was a classic moment where the female lead would faint and her hero would crash through the door. He’d pull out his sword and fight the villain. They would fight to the death and would end with the villain dead on the floor. I wanted it, wished for it, but I knew better. This was no fairy tale and my prince charming had left me. I would not be that frail pathetic woman. I wasn’t Cinderella and it was about time I realized that Prince Charming wasn’t going to come and save me.

One of the big things I wanted to highlight all throughout the novel was this idea of Good vs Evil. In my opinion, this is a narrative tool that waters down human experiences and does us all a disservice. What I mean is that boiling things down to just Good or just Evil isn’t an objectively good way to look at reality. Or at stories in general. Our lives are far more complex and nuanced than just those two aspects, and to paint people or characters as either/or is both lazy and misleading.

There's no place for it in my life. Also, hearing the other's thoughts takes all the magic out of love. That's why I've restricted any romantic pursuits to the formatted, black-and-white pages of books. There's one universal truth I'll never question: fictional men are a gazillion times better than real ones. The real problem is that Paul definitely resembles a main character. Well, when he snarls and looks at me like this, more like the main antagonist, that would suit him better. Even if he sometimes seems like a nice guy, I'll certainly not make him my hero.

I said, and hung up. This was not how I planned our conversation would go. I expected it to clear my thoughts, but somehow, she managed to make me more confused than ever. It would have helped if Liza validated my emotions of Enzo being the villain in this situation. But she painted him like an anti-hero. A bad guy with a past. A trope I was a sucker for. How the hell was I supposed to get past that?

“I apologize. The princess has brute strength of course but her biggest strength is her flash of surprise, she will want to shock you into losing your guard and then attacking immediately. Another thing is her resilience, in battle she’s not straightforward as she tends to look and act, she will give you the lead if necessary so when attacking, make sure to go for a final blow, no matter how many times it takes, no matter how many bones you have to break. For weaknesses, it’s so stupid you could laugh, she’s an honest fool and can be deceived with the cover of honesty and kindness. Which is where I come in.” “Go on.” “You’ll have to injure me, believable enough that she thinks I need help an

" Why? The world betrays the Villain. That's why they go against everyone!" " Not everyone... Certain circumstances and certain things can make you a bad person. But if you want... You can make the place better. At least for the person who you love. If Villains think they're going to destroy the world for his pain. It's selfishness. Because some heroes are born from those same circumstances as well." " Why are you talking like you went through it?" " Maybe I did.. maybe I didn't. But they're the same. Don't blame your past and circumstances."

"Why do you think that most female leads had these personality traits in the past? It was because society was subtly influencing women to think that we have to be kind and gentle for men to love us. Only women who keep yielding and never retaliate even when they get bullied can change those bad boys. "We are taught that this is the kind of woman that men like." She grinned devilishly. "Too much of these fairytales will only make you overly idealistic about life. They'll erode your brain. In this dog-eat-dog world, you'll only end up getting stomped into the ground or hated by others for being a burden. "Rather than kind, you're just a weakling and a coward. Even if you get married, with your

Jocelyn Hiddleston turned around, her nose starting to bleed, her face not looking good. "I am a person who stands for the weak and the beautiful. Always for justice, go forward to serve." Loud cheers welled up in Phedra Elizabeth's chest. "For someone like you, I have met too many times in the previous novels that I have read. Hardly anyone likes the genre like you. Consider yourself sublime, how talented you are. How can you brainlessly bully a weak girl who lacks resistance?" "I know the female lead is not weak, but in acting, the hero must save the beauty and the beauty must be the weaker sex." A line of thoughts ran through Phedra Elizabeth's mind.

She opened the shower to let her brunette hair soak and along with that to cool down the head. “The thoughts of yesterday night were flowing into her head over and over again, especially the thought of that guy who spoiled her perfect plan to make the certain drunken man rot in jail just to become some sort of hero. Nowadays who even have time to be a hero. Besides, a hero can't save the innocent or bring justice now. Only money and power can. Now money and power are the truth and the person who holds the most amount of money is the most innocent person of all. The guy was a fool if he thought that sacrificing himself so thoughtlessly, made him a hero. The only thing he did was messing up he

"What's the problem with that? Who says a bad person has to be evil all the time, or a good person never does anything wrong? "There are murderers who give up their seat for the elderly. There are ruthless people to their enemies but fiercely loyal to their own. Life isn't just black or white unless you're born a villain or a saint. "Thomas isn't a perfect man, yet you still like him, don't you? You despise Jamie just like Victoria despises Thomas. In essence, it's the same thing. "Jamie would hurt someone for Victoria; Thomas would hurt Victoria for you. Whether you're good or bad doesn't matter in their eyes.
