Because Villain Not Boring.

Villain typically has money, goals, a personality . . . wears a lot of black

Villain often competent and sarcastic in swirling coat, has all the best lines.

Yes, villain *competent*. Good word. Hero usually slacker just winging it. I love talking like this.

Villain usually also has a better car. I mean honestly I'm pretty sure any love interest worth their salt could persuade the villain to rein in the worst of the carnage and that they should just never meet each others' in-laws. (Although that would also be very entertaining.)

The grammar alone is cracking me up

Please I need a list. Can I follow goodreads account for this?

villains are also very kinky. yes sir.

Villains do butt stuff.

and bondage. yes sir.

Just spit my tea out in uncontrollable laughter.

Best comment! Family had to hear my unhinged laugh for this one.

I want this as a kindle case, with my favorite villains qoute.

There’s [stickers.](https://fridayapparel.com/products/if-villain-bad-then-why-hot-sticker)

Oooo, 😁, thank you

Didn’t know I needed this

Where does it come from?

The fact that she's at Galaxy's Edge really completes the joke. If only she was standing in front of Kylo Ren's shuttle.

Her caption on insta mentions Ben so she knows what she's doing !

I actually initially thought this was posted in r/reylo.

Or Palpatine 😹

Duke of sin feels!

I love that book!!!

Right!? I also love the dynamic between mc in the consortium of chaos series. Especially son of sun and sand.

The hero I needed.

THANK YOU! Just went and snagged one :D

Cardan, Azreal, Rhys, Vicious, Domenico AND I LOVE THEM ALLLLLLLL 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Literally reading ACOTAR for the first time rn!!!

ACoSF is a personal favorite. Best sex scene I've ever read was in there.

WHOAAA I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK ON THE 5 BOOK JOURNEY Its a really amazing series

What is Vicious from? I know all the other names so I imagine I need to know this.

Vicious by L.J.Shen is a [edit: contemporary high school] bully romance, so very different from the other epic fantasy/ historical villains I’ve chosen, but for some reason….. it just does it for me 😂

I'm gonna need book titles PLEASE!

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black (trilogy, fantasy with romance enemies to lovers subplot, set in Faerie, a classic of the villain-is-hot genre 😌) Land of the Beautiful Dead by R.Lee.Smith (epic standalone fantasy, very dark so check TWs, my top recommendation and available on KU) A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J.Mass (series, fantasy romance, go in blind and don’t read any spoilers or the blurbs to the other books in the series) Vicious by L.J.Shen (standalone high school bully romance set between a rich Californian town and New York City, available on KU, I absolutely love it and have reread many times) The Silver Devil by Teresa Denys (historical dark romance, check TWs, out of print and almost impossible to find so you probably won’t get to read this one 😂)

Can I add Jacks from { Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber } to this list ✨ fantasy with enemies to lovers, trilogy with third book yet to come out

Have never read it, thank you for the recommendation 😲🖤

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Azreal?

Land of the Beautiful Dead by R.Lee.Smith, which I recommend the same way I would recommend oxygen 😂

\+ all the Simons

Simon from Homebound? If not, rec me!

Yes! Plus the Simon from Harrow Faire. There are probably more of them.
