Abel Harthenberg.
He is the male protagonist of the light novel I once read, The Villainess Reverses Time Once Again, and also a character who plays the role of the mastermind within the story.
One of only four dukes in the Ariye Empire, the setting of the story, he is a monster who has reached the level of an Archmage.
A typical psychopath who regards human lives as being worth less than specks of dust.
Without hesitation, he mercilessly slaughters thousands of people for the sake of his own plans—truly the worst of villains.
He’s the kind of human garbage who plays with people’s lives by flipping coins.
While it’s often said that romantic fantasy protagonists tend to be flawed, Abel stands out even among them for his despicable character.
Just how bad was he? The comment section of the first chapter was flooded with remarks like, “Isn’t the male lead just too much of a trash?”
So, why am I bringing this up now?
Isn’t it obvious?
I, an ordinary reader who occasionally indulges in light novels, have reincarnated as Abel Harthenberg.
And not just any character—into the black villain male lead of the very light novel genre known for its grimdark plots.
…I’m doomed.
