So You Want to Be a Villain?
by ErraticErrata
· published 2015 · read 2022-02-01
★★★☆☆
Web-serial that is generally not terrible! Takes place in a world with clear Good and Evil, with the protagonist an orphan in a country that was taken over by an Evil state. She starts her path to become a Villain to help her country, kinda? Complete with a mentor, a short stint at a school, and then some actual war. The morality on any of this is extremely iffy, but if you squint past that, it's decent enough fantasy fast food.
The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized

★★☆☆☆
More of the same, with the novelty worn off a bit. Some new interesting Roles (Bumbling Conjurer, Exiled Prince), and some hints at future escalation into less of the pedestrian wars with soldiers at borders and more of the world/universe crushing stuff. There's a lot of maneuvering against the protagonist's villainous nemesis, which I didn't really care about. But then, I didn't care about the big battles, either – I just hung around for the worldbuilding (which had some really good moments).
