Villains Aren't Stepping Stones!

Synopsis

In a vast universe where deities create suns and immortals pluck stars, the traditional roles of heroes and antagonists are called into question. The narrative focuses on those labeled as villains who refuse to be mere stepping stones for a destined protagonist, choosing instead to trample their rivals and rewrite their own fates. This work reads like a subversion of classic Eastern cultivation tropes, emphasizing defiance over destiny. It is designed for readers who prefer morally ambiguous leads and power fantasies centered on overturning established order; however, those who prefer traditional tales of virtuous heroism should skip it. With over a hundred chapters already published, the story demonstrates a steady commitment to its premise, standing out for its thematic focus on agency and rebellion against narrative predestination.
