Maybe I really am a Villian
“Why are you trying to kill me, Princess…?”
The silver-haired boy’s voice was faint, barely audible over the sound of his own ragged breathing. He lay sprawled across the cold marble floor, his body drenched in blood that slowly pooled beneath him.
The blonde-haired girl looked down at him, her blue eyes devoid of warmth.
“It’s not my fault, Asher,” she replied in an indifferent tone. “This is the result of your own stubbornness. I simply asked you to join my faction… but you insisted on remaining neutral. I can’t allow a wild card like you to roam free.”
Asher let out a weak, breathless chuckle, the sound tinged with mockery.
“I don’t think… that’s the whole truth, Princess.”
For a brief moment, her gaze sharpened.
“…You’re right. There is another reason.”
“And what is that?” he asked, his voice trembling but his eyes steady.
Her lips curled ever so slightly.
“You’re a pathetic fool. Someone with enough talent to grasp power… yet no desire for revenge.”
“Revenge?” Asher murmured, as if tasting the word. “For what? My mother’s death? And against whom?”
“Against the demons who caused it.”
A low, broken laugh escaped his lips.
“Haha… Princess, don’t joke.” His bloodstained fingers twitched against the floor. “We both know the truth. The ones responsible for my mother’s death are the Imperial Family… and the Church. They feared my family’s growing influence.”
Her expression remained unchanged.
“And yet, it was demons who struck the final blow. You feel no hatred—not toward them, not toward the Church. Shouldn’t they be your enemies?”
Asher slowly turned his head, his pale eyes meeting hers.
“No, Princess… I don’t have enemies.”
A faint smile appeared on his lips despite his condition.
“I only have obstacles. And it seems… your family and the Church are becoming just that.”
A subtle shift passed through the air.
“So what are you going to do?” she asked coldly. “Destroy us?”
“Of course,” he whispered, as if stating something obvious. “It’ll be a hassle… but I think it might also be fun.”
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
“And how exactly do you plan to do that? By haunting us as a ghost?”
His smile widened—strangely calm, almost amused.
“You’ll find out soon enough.”
One of the four Platinum Rank knights standing beside the Princess stepped forward.
“Princess, we don’t have time. We must finish this now.”
She gave a small nod, her voice devoid of emotion.
“Do it. I can no longer tolerate his pathetic existence.”
Without hesitation, the knight raised his blade.
A single, clean strike.
Asher’s head fell, his expression frozen in that same unsettling smile—as though he had just discovered a new game to play.
“Dispose of the body,” the Princess said, turning away. “I’m going to sleep.”
With that, space distorted around her, and she vanished.
The Next Day
Class S — Main Classroom
Morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows, illuminating the quiet murmurs of elite students gathered inside
.
“Good morning, Princess.”
The voice was light. Casual.
Familiar.
Her body stiffened almost imperceptibly.
Standing near the entrance, perfectly alive, was Asher.
Smiling.
Not a single trace of injury marked his body.
For the first time, a flicker of disbelief crossed her otherwise composed mind.
Impossible…
I’m certain the one I killed yesterday was his real body. Not a clone. Not an illusion.
Then what… is this?
Asher tilted his head slightly, his silver hair catching the light as his smile deepened.
“So, Princess…”
His eyes gleamed with something dangerous—something playful.
“Our game begins today.”

At beginning, I thought it just so extra genre slop and read cuz I got bored. The quality of writing and dialogue does get better. However, if I didn't have anything else to read, I would I dropped it pretty early. Author, I honestly recommend editing your early chapters, if you can. Then all of a sudden, in the recent non-priv chapter, it became really good. The twist regarding Asher's true past and existence was not something I expected to this good. If the story maintains this quality, I don't doubt this could possibly become a really good novel, in general, and not just as another extra slop novel.
i quite Like IT some funny scens in there good ability when does the secen come you wrote in the indroduction ?
really funny and like the mcs character, which is different from all other novels , keep it up
there are many problems with this story. 1. exposition dumping. happens at the very beginning and continues throughout. 2. choppy dialogue 3. no internation. the reasons behind actions are ambivalent and have no lead up to them. 4. world building. there's barely any setting description and absolutely no mood.
Disgusting ai slop on my front page? How utterly revolting.
What an amazing start . Directly to the library from the first chap. Positive points: every points about this novel is good , you will feel like it is written by a professional though Author said he is an amateur , don't believe him. I like how u wrote it is fantastic, But it is only good in early stage, in middle or later stage it will feel like repetitive or boring, i hope author progress it smoothly Author you might have to do some character development on mc or else it will boring/bland. I have nothing to complain about in this novel, just same things don't work in long run. Well good luck author 👍👍
l like the MCs nonchalance but whats the point of the story if he doesn't care about anything
Really funny mc , like the story waiting for more updated
it's one of the best as well as unique story . i like each and every characters introduce upto now , (side character, background character , Main character ). Specially main character ,his brother, and whole 1st semester team .
The protagonist is good, but the side charachters seem 1 dimensional. their existence seems to only exist to unravel the protagonist's personality. but being a first work for author, it's quite good and entertaining. just i feel that no other character is interesting other than the main character. It has great potential if done well. Author you can try reading "Monster? No i will be a cultivator" to better understand how to write odd main character. all the best for your journey, keep learning.
Easy to read story to pass the time. Dialogue is extremely iffy and weird. It’s the authors first time writing, so that’s understandable. Plot is interesting although it’s taking forever to get to the premise. I only began reading this because of the blurb of the Princess failing to kill him. Asher is a boring character but it’s tolerable.
Novel reads like it was written by an edgy 14 year old who used aai
ridiculous, shit, lame, irritating piece of slop. 1.2m view?!!! utter nonsense.
auther you story , world building,charector dynamic is one of the best I have ever seen the story is engaging to . my only complain is complain is can you make the chapter a little longer and add some suspense element like cliff hangers it makes the story more intresting. At your current writing pace when I am buying your chapter it feels like before I started reading it got finished so kind of little frastaring.please I think this story has massive potential and I know you have said it multiple times that you are new and trying to improve if you see to this areas it would help a lot from readers perspective 1.make the chapters a little longer 2.add suspense element and hype up the powerstucture.(meaning first you told us immortal ranks are like Demi gods but when one was introduced there was no intemidation,no crazy reaction,no fear so it's kind of looked lacklaster at best.i can be best u derstood by the fight of jujutsu kaisen btw sukuna and gojo the auther hyped them up too much so everybody got intrested before the fight staterd i hope you will take this consideration to heard from a fellow reader thankyou
Shits peak, trust.
