Author, I recommend that you remove the ''villain'' tag. If you're not going to write a novel where the mc will follow dao demonioco it's better to remove this tag. If you keep this up, the only thing you'll get are negative comments from "evil MC" fans, and claims that you're deceiving readers.

Does the villain tag really require the protagonist to be absolutely evil from the start? I included this tag because the MC changes throughout the novel, and there are parts where he is absolutely a villain.
My English is not the best, but I will try to explain. Have you read Immortal Renegade? It's like your novel, the MC has a killer phase, but the author never used the tag ''EVIL MC'', because he understands the meaning of the tag. The premise of demonic dao is to always prioritize benefits and be unrestrained, unaffected by emotions. Sure, the MC might start off being innocent in a novel tagged 'villain', but we know there's going to be a development, and it'll get to the point where it deserves that tag. In demonic dao the MC doesn't want to be restricted by the moral values imposed on him, so the premise of doing evil because he's angry, and then wanting redemption is already a failure because for the real ''MC EVIL'' what what he did was not wrong, and even though he knows it goes against the moral sense of right, he doesn't care

listen to him author take the evil mc tag away and instead put evil to good type of tag, that way the readers understand where the premise of the story is going.
Yeah I get it, I'll remove the tag since people seem to agree with you. Unfortunately there's no better alternative, which is annoying, because I feel like 'anti-hero' isn't the right fit either, but I guess it's close enough. And yes, I know Renegade Immortal, it's one of my favourite xianxia.

Author, this ''ANTI-HERO'' tag is the best choice. If the MC was an adept of evil, he would have accepted the offer to join the sect without a second thought because he understands that freedom only comes with power, and even if they asked the MC to kill the entire village, he would have done. this is because he is not constrained by any morals, and that would be beneficial to him. If we start from the premise that he wasn't "evil" at first, the MC might even have wanted revenge at first, but he would give up after becoming a demon dao adept, as revenge would not be beneficial to him. If you have a little time, I recommend reading these novels, if you read you will understand what I'm talking about ''EVIL MC''. Reverend Insanity, Extreme Immortal Demon [极道长生魔] e Soul of Negary.

I understand what you mean. I originally put the villain tag because the MC becomes exactly like that at a certain point later on in the novel (it has not yet happened in Desolate Fate). Character development is a big part of this novel, it’s gradual throughout the novel. Anyway, I removed the tag now.
