About I Like Villains, so I Reincarnated as One

2023, Light novel, ongoing, 58%

Video game character Vice Hamilton is destined to lose everything—his position, his family, and ultimately his life. A tragic villain who was overshadowed by his talented sister, blamed for mismanaging his territory, and fated to fall at the hands of the game’s hero, Vice is nothing more than a failure. And to be reincarnated as him? A fate worse than death! Or is it?

Armed with knowledge of the game’s plot, the new Vice has a second chance to rewrite his fate and become a proper villain with a better future. Using his own cheats to avoid every pitfall, Vice has the ability to avoid doom and impending tragedy, all while winning the hearts of the beautiful ladies around him. Can he maintain this new course, grow his harem, and survive the plot that’s written against him?!
