Hey /lit/,
looking for tips on how to write a good antagonist/villain. Looking for something interesting and likable without being too dramatic or playing on the good and evil dichotomy. I'm talking about a character who is genuinely bad.
How do you start?

>"Do you feel in charge?"

How can a nation that produced such feels have so little worthwhile literature?

Well, first of all i'm 21yo.

And yes, the first novel i've ever read was two months ago and it was The Great Gatsby. This happened after i watched the movie.

I'm a college student in a fairly good faculty of the university which in order to get in you have to read a lot in your teenage years. I don't know how the educational system works in the US.

So i've never read any novels. My main source of entertainment were video games and movies. So i stopped playing any kind of games and started reading which is pretty helpful imo.

New stories = New ideas. New ideas = better life. That's how im seeing it.

Again , sorry for my english.

I'm so grossed out by that photo.

I'll be laughing my head off while reading your obituary, soon, bitch.

1.) This has nothing to do with literature.
2.) This is not a "moral conundrum".
