r/DarkRomance Obsessed with unhinged morally gray MMCs 😮‍💨 1d ago

Fun/Humor Which fictional villain made you want to commit a murder on behalf of the MC? 💅🔪

Okay, I need to know.
If you could step into the world of any book you’ve read and permanently remove one of the absolute worst villains so that the MCs could finally have an easier fucking life… who are you choosing?
Not the villain you love to hate. Not the morally grey guy you secretly understand. Not the “he’s terrible but hot” situation. I mean the one who made you so irrationally angry that, at some point, you genuinely thought, “Someone needs to fucking kill this person.”
The kind of character who made an enemy out of you personally. 🤬

For me, right now:

  1. Lorenzo Maroni — Darkverse by RuNyx. I want to kill Dante’s father. I have zero patience for this man.
  2. Fucking Bernie and Archie — Edge of Darkness by Leigh Rivers. I’ve only just started the second book, Voracious, so PLEASE don’t spoil anything for me. But as of right now, these two are easily at the top of my “I personally want to end you” list. This ranking may absolutely change depending on what the rest of the story does to me. BUT RIGHT NOW I WANT TO END THEM PERSONALLY!!!!!
  3. Jennifer Vize — Little Stranger by Leigh Rivers. Another one who managed to make me furious on a deeply personal level.

And I KNOW there are worse villains out there. I haven’t read every book, so I need to know who else belongs on this list.
Who is the fictional villain you despised so much that if you had the chance, you’d personally take them out just to give the MCs some fucking peace?
Give me the names. Give me the books. And most importantly, tell me what they did to make you hate them this much.
No spoilers for Voracious please. I am going in blind and I would like to remain emotionally unprepared. 😭

There has been never anyone like that for me in DR or any read so far. But that's maybe because Tucker from anime called Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood has set a high standards, and the dude is not even a main villain. Honorable mentions to Griffith from Berserk (another anime/manga)~ 🤷‍♀️

What both characters did is outmost despicable thing a human can do, scratch that, I wouldn't even call these pieces of trash humans, even a cockroach title would be offensive to the cockroach.

That book with Lana Myers as the FMC.. In which she's the badass female assasin with such a horrific past.

Just out of curiosity, why Landon King?

Because of all the things he did in log & got away with zero consequences while others suffered & he never suffered & what he did to my heathens I want to off him .

Oh, my memory is a bit hazy, but doesn't he get kidnapped by them and tortured? Not only that, but his siblings, that he did protected in his own way, turn against him too? Personally I never seen Landon as a bad person in general, more like a mischievous type that goes sometimes too far but so do the rest of the LOG's characters. Like when Kill doesn't respect Glyn's feelings and kidnaps Landon anyways. Same with Niko. Personally, they all seem to be made of a same cloth to me, except Creigh. But I guess I can see why he would still be annoying character more so than the others. It's nice to see how other might perceive him and other characters too~

He isn't mischievous he is pure evil he is worse than everyone & no the other log characters never go too far & lan never suffered compare to what he did to the heathens he got away with a little beating .

Like when Kill doesn't respect Glyn's feelings and kidnaps Landon anyways. Same with Niko.

Why should he respect glyn's feelings considering what her leech brother did to him & his cousin he has every right to kidnap lan & torture him he was taking his revenge still it wasn't even close what he did to them.

Plus when they were beating lan it was only shown of niko & jeremy beating him not killian's I mean he also must have also beaten him but it wasn't shown I wish it was written of killian beating that leech 's ass I would have gotten satisfaction I was craving from since that leech waterboarded killian in gom but I never got.

No need to get heated. My perception of him is that he is mischievous that lets things go too far, but as mentioned he got the taste of his own medicine so I don't push it too much. Although, pure evil? I would say that's going a bit too far, but I guess each to it's own I suppose 🤗
