Raising Villains the Right Way

Synopsis

A protagonist attempts to guide various villains toward redemption over the course of a decade. Instead of successfully reforming these individuals, they inadvertently establish themselves as the primary architect of the kingdom's criminal underworld. This story utilizes the unintentional mastermind trope, blending action with a heavy dose of situational irony. It is ideal for readers who enjoy seeing a character struggle against a reputation they did not mean to build. Those seeking a traditional, morally pure protagonist should look elsewhere. With 377 chapters, the narrative provides a substantial dive into the protagonist's failed social experiments and the resulting chaos. The standout quality is the constant tension between the character's altruistic internal goals and their perceived role as a dark lord.
