Spoiler for like, any book existing.

I think mine has to be the villain in Mirror Man. Idk, he wasn’t intimidating, he wasn’t interesting. He was meh.

Also the villains from The Chain. Dear God they weren’t sympathetic in the slightest. The book tries to act like they were atleast pitiful but FROM THEIR INCEPTION, they were just evil assholes who enjoyed causing pain. The book itself wasn’t all that great anyways.

    There should be qualifications with this. Some villains are cartoon villains without depth. Also assuming fictional characters. Let me suggest Lilionthel, the Chairmaker, from Use of Weapons.

      Good call! I loved all the small hints the protagonist wasn’t who he was trying to make himself be that mostly came echoing back later. That was a DARK Culture novel.
