Listopia > Good Villains

books where the main character is the villian aka the socially outcast isn't evil at all just either misunderstood or feared. So preferably no "dark" books. its preferable if you only put the first one of the series so it dosen't get overcrowded. But again, its good for those who would usually be villains of the story but who are the heros
