Marcus Evans was the epitome of an ordinary guy—stuck in a dead-end job, addicted to reading webnovels for a taste of excitement, and completely invisible in the grand scheme of life. His greatest joy was escaping into the pages of Decade Long Crusade, a sprawling epic where the hero, Ash Braker, rises from weakness to ultimate power in a world of magic, technology, and danger.

But when Marcus wakes up one day in a body that isn’t his, in a world that feels disturbingly familiar, he quickly realizes the impossible: he’s been transmigrated into the Decade Long Crusade universe. However, there’s a catch. He’s not the hero, nor even a notable character. He’s an unknown extra, an expendable background figure doomed to die without making a mark on the story.

To survive in a world where extras are crushed underfoot by stronger powers, Marcus knows he can’t play the game like a hero. The only way to protect himself is to manipulate the plot, ensure Ash Braker’s rise to power, and play the part of the ruthless villain who pulls the strings from the shadows. As the world of cultivation, magic, and futuristic technology threatens to swallow him whole, Marcus must make hard decisions, form dangerous alliances, and betray those who stand in his way.

Because in this world, it’s better to be the villain than to die forgotten.

Better To Be The Villain

I wanted to take a moment to apologize for the shortage and late delay of chapters for Better To Be The Villain. Things haven't exactly gone as planned, and I owe you all an explanation.

Recently, I had to take a trip to the eye doctor, and let's just say… I did a number on my eyesight. It got bad enough that I was basically forced to rest and step away from screens for a while. As frustrating as it was, I had no choice but to listen (because, well, I like being able to see). I've been recovering since then, and I have a check-up later this month to make sure things are improving.

That being said, I don't want to use this as an excuse to stop writing completely. I'll do my best to at least upload one or two chapters at the bare minimum, but I also need to be careful not to strain my eyesight like before. So, things might be a little slow, but I'm working on getting back into the swing of things.

Also, friendly advice—wear your glasses, drink plenty of water, and for the love of all things good, stop staring at your screen from two inches away. Rotate between staying off your devices and keeping your face away from them unless you too want an unplanned vacation from reading.

To all of you who have stuck around, supported the novel, and even left feedback despite my absence, I genuinely appreciate it. It means a lot to me. I know it'll take some time to get back to pumping out chapters regularly, so I hope you all have a bit more patience with me.

Once again, thank you for everything. You guys are the best.
