    As the title says i'm looking for novels that have the protag as a supervillain. An example would be like the novel on RRL Supervillain.

    I don't care if it's on RRL, NU, or anything else.

    Depending on the situation, yeah Fang Yuan could become a super villain but ultimately he is an opportunist with no bottom line that's all.

    this is a classic supervillain, which includes somewhat comedic elements. Very clever resolution/ending.

    This is a really good fanfic in the (movie) Avengers universe, about someone with memories from our world/the movies, and trying to become as powerful as possible, no matter the consequences. He is a villain, but he doesn't think of himself as a villain, and he is relatable. I actually just finished the available chapters (it is still updating) a few hours ago, and it is great.

    I haven't read this in forever, so I don't quite remember what happens, but I remember it being good, with an epic ending

    I have a lot more stories with villain protagonists, but these are the only ones I would call 'super villain'

    i remember reading that he was actually written to be a villain from the start as the author was sick of immortals with morals

    It is not a novel but a manga. The MC is forced to become a super villain but he acts like a superhero, and tries to go against the corrupted hero system.
    Read on your favorite manga site it is only 50 chapters.
    Here is a link for the description.

    He is not an all out villain, maybe the author set out to write a villain but ended up with a sociopathic opportunist. If there is no benefits or threats, he strictly doesn't harm others, this point is made by the author over n over again.

    And when I say benefits and threats that is completely with respect to his(Fang Yuan) goal. He nvr harms ppl to sit n enjoy a life of luxury, indulge in lust, or doesn't even try to change the world acc to his whims n fancies like a dictator.

    He just wants to accomplish his goal, he nvr let's anything get in his way. That's all.

    Fang Yuan is a very inspirational MC for me, his unwavering focus towards his goal inspires me a lot.

    Such irony. DD MC also tried to save the world from the destruction.

    The King of the Battlefield protagonist is trying the save the humans by powering himself up and defeating the demon gods.

    Dungeon Defense's MC has already massacred countless numbers of humans and brought the entire continent to a war of annihilation to protect his own life, not to save the world from destruction. His side goals are to amass authority over all of demon-kind and by extension all of humanity.

    This is why DD's MC is villainous and KotB's MC isn't.
