How To Be A Villain

How To Be A Villain

Shadow rank ~#5799 in Adventure↓2414

Ryan was just like your ordinary weeb - loved to play games, watch anime, and dream of waifus.   That is, up until he had a 'nice' collision with Truck-kun one day, and his soul transmigrated into a body that wasn't his in a different world where skills and magic didn't exist only in fantasy books. In the new world, he has to train hard and do whatever means to survive. In a world with magic and powers, it is survival of the fittest after all.   In the new world , fate had dealt him a bad hand by giving him a mediocre affinity with mana and the cheat-like abilities other transmigrators usually had in those mangas weren’t so easily accessible for him - he had to fight tooth and nail to get them. But worst of all, he transmigrated and became the villain.  What To Expect : - Story is a slow burn.  - MC starts weak but slowly gets stronger.   - No harem, unfortunately.   - MC that has a sense of humour (hopefully)  - MC will most likely be reliant on his intelligence and experience rather than on overpowered skills.  But of course, if he has any, why bother?     ( I am a new writer, so do expect some grammar mistakes here and there, but I will immediately rectify them if they are pointed out.    New chapters will be updaed every Tuesday 17:07 UTC and Friday 17:07)

Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
