Villainous Protagonist Novels & Stories

“That is what I want to ask you, Lily. You are Matthew's mate, and you want to help Gabriel. Why?” There was a brief moment of silence between us. I watched her as she panicked and seemed to be lost for words before she finally managed to speak, “Let's say I have seen something in him no one has. A side darker than the night and the way he abandoned me in a rogue pack… is enough for me to betray him.” I was satisfied with Lily's answer. Even in my past life, I would have done the same if I had that opportunity. The thing that I wanted the most in my previous life was to see Matthew lose his quest.

Just as my eyelids started to feel heavy, my phone buzzed. Jace: The Villain totally deserved to win. I rolled my eyes, a small smile tugging at my lips. Me: Are you serious? He was literally a psychopath. Jace: So? At least he was consistent. The hero was just annoying. I bit my lip, trying to stifle a laugh. This was classic Jace—always rooting for the morally corrupt characters. Me: Okay, well, explain how stabbing an innocent person made sense then? Jace: Survival instinct. If you think about it—

"What's she doing here?" The group of socialites visibly stiffened when they saw me. Everyone in high society knew about my reputation. I was known for being arrogant, unhinged, and untouchable. I didn't spare them a glance. Instead, I looked down at Vivian, who was soaked from head to toe. The floating comments began racing across my vision. [The villainess is about to lose it! Vivian, run!] [It's over! Quinn saw the male lead trying to save Vivian. She's definitely going to make Vivian's life a living hell!]

What he shared with Noemi was nothing but platonic love. A great love story always needs a villainess to make it burn. And that villainess was me. Gianna Milano. The plot called for me to discover the emotional affair and go to war against Noemi: petty cruelty, jealous rages, one humiliation after another, all of it making Noemi shine brighter by contrast. Renato's contempt for me would grow until he handed me the divorce papers himself. Then I'd run to my father, try to use the family to tear them apart.

"Go find someone to foment dissension amongst Revry's three sons after the two families. Make them kill each other for the title of Viscount. They must have had planned to act but simply needed a shove." "Don't be concerned, Master. I will undoubtedly cause havoc in the Cloudmantle household." Solan responded with a smug expression. "I'll show up when things spiral out of control and tidy up the mess like an angel from heaven. Rui will gladly join my side." "Master, you resemble the devil!" "You have to understand one thing, even though I am a villain right now because of what I am doing, we are not brainless." I burst out laughing. I'd seen a lot of villains, but they all had one thing in c

“Isn’t she the female lead? I never thought she’d be capable of doing something like that. She’s supposed to be pure and innocent.” “Even until the end, you’re hellbent on believing that Lily is all sunshine and goodness that has been corrupted a little. Why do you feel you know her better than anyone else?” “It’s - she’s the female lead.” Even despite knowing that I had regressed, the book I had read as Jane still felt very vivid in my mind. The life I lived as Jane had long been in my head and I sometimes felt it was all a lucid dream. Lily and Xander’s love was still fresh in my head. The book ‘The Alpha’s Omega’ was still very vivid in my head and in that book, Lily was the protagonist.

Don't make me be the villain. Nate

“To dumb it down, everyone hates you so much. They would rather gush out their eyes than see you win this game." The system's voice was steady, calm, void of emotions, but to Melissa it felt a sharp iron rod to her chest. She knew she was hated, but for them to be willing to inflict pain on themselves just as not to see her victorious was just psychopathic. “As for your second question, why do you have to be the villain?" the system continued casually as though reading the weather. “Because being evil suits you, besides you had one of those most gruesome betrayals in your past life, so I am certain you can channel just enough anger to make this game the hottest thing on national television."

It was clear everyone had been fixated on Marcel, but at his declaration, all focus was on Celia. All her life, she was the girl with the weakest presence in a room. The one no one noticed, and when they did, she was viewed with pity or disgust. Now she was the mate of a werewolf who killed their Alpha. A werewolf who dominated other packs. A villain, undoubtedly. Hadn’t things just become worse for her? “Move,” Marcel instructed Sheeva, but she didn’t obey. “Move,” he said again, his eyes glowing this time. Sheeva trembled, doing her best to fight against the intimidation that came with Marcel’s unbelievable power.

After all, such villains can only be defeated by male leads, and that too resulted in male leads suffering and having countless losses. Even though she did see Kayden as his own person, one very different from the character she had read in the novel, it still didn’t prevent her from seeing him as the villainous character at times. “What method did he choose?” Seraphine questioned. A thickness settled in her throat, and queasiness filled Seraphine, making her feel nauseated.
