Which type of villainess do you prefer?
High key had every right to become the villain.
The society they live in largely contributed to why they are so miserable.
Said society that ruined their lives treats them like the problem for not being grateful that they were lucky enough to be spared.
More likely to be a part of an oppressed group of people.
Either victims of grooming or sole survivors of a mass murder and/or genocide.
The commenters all hate them but you kind of see where they're coming from.
You root for them to succeed more than the protagonists.
You're 90% likely going to be disappointed in how the author ends their character arcs.
"Identify theft is no joke!"
Not actually the og fl and is instead somebody or something else entirely,
Sometimes they can be possessed by a supernatural force, other times they're just an ordinary amoral person playing the role
You typically weep for their original counterparts and the loving relationships they could have formed with the main characters.
Preferred since their authors put in a little more effort to stand out from the crowd.
Either the scariest masterminds you've ever witnessed or the only terrible deed they achieved was slandering the good name of whosever identity they are living as.
Sometimes they play the part so poorly, you start to wonder how and why everyone fell for their tricks for so long to the point where it starts to feel like natural selection.
Didn't really do anything that bad but everyone in the fanbase and/or the writers room wanted them dead anyway for their mere existence.
At worst, they either said something rude to the FL or their existence interferes with the FL's life even if it wasn't their idea to do so.
Likely based on someone the author doesn't like on a personal level
They tend to feel more realistic than the protagonist.
Often times they are minor love interests for the male lead, but they are almost immediately shot down in favor of the FL.
Likely didn't want to date the ML anyway.
Some women just want to watch the world burn...
Have little to no reason to be haters, they just love hating for the fun of the game.
Capable of some of the most deplorable batshit insane evil deeds known to man and they don't know when to stop.
You have to specify you only like them as characters to prevent your location from being doxed.
Surprisingly, the chances of these types of antagonists turning out to be well written villains are rare because the author confuses spamming edgy shock value over and over with good writing.
Probably crawled out of hell itself to wreak havoc upon the world
They would immediately feel nauseous at the thought of the words "I'm sorry."
Everyone feels more comfortable rooting for them because they're the protagonists.
Missing about at least 70% of their sanity but they somehow still be looking graceful everyday
Victims of abuse all their lives which shaped them into the maniacs they are today
They're either fun to follow because they walk the tight rope of an enjoyable female lead correctly, or horrible edgy things happen to their enemies to the point where it starts to feel uncomfortable when the narrative is asking you to root for them.
A bunch of men are head over heels for them.
More likely to attract problematic men as a result.
Too pitiful to properly hate.
Written to actually act like antagonists this time but the game is still rigged in the protagonist's favor.
Ironically a mirror of the FL's behavior but since they aren't the protagonist, they are sentenced to cruel and unusual punishment.
Never will be as talented as the FL.
Their love interests leave them for the far more "interesting" FL
They suffer so much to the point where you kind of want to be their friend instead of rooting for their downfall.
You probably read This isekai maid is forming a union and you don't think it's fair that the staff have to be reduced as villains for the sake of protagonist pity points.
Very classist in the way they are depicted.
Their faces are covered in bruises from all the times they've been slapped.
Villainized for wanting money and status.
They somehow still have a job despite bullying their employers for some reason.
More likely to be drawn with freckles to compare their lack of beauty to the beautiful FL because beauty standards.
