Summary
In 'The Case Where Young Men Who Yearn to Be a Villain Reincarnated as the Best Friend of the Protagonist', readers are immersed in a thrilling tale of Seiga Midou, who finds himself reincarnated as the protagonist's best friend in the game 'New World Story'. Uniquely, Seiga embraces his role as the villain, relishing the opportunity to disrupt the traditional hero narrative. This web novel, originally in Japanese, offers a refreshing perspective by portraying a kind-hearted character as a 'necessary evil' standing against the hero. With genres spanning action, adventure, fantasy, harem, and school life, this story delves into themes of justice, heroines, and the allure of being a villain.

Description

‘For the sake of the main characters I will. For the sake of this world, I will become a villain to them.”

Seiga Midou, a man who has cleared all the storylines in the extraordinarily brutal game “New World Story”.

One day he wakes up to find that he has become the “best friend” of the protagonist in that game. Ordinary people would have been disappointed that the protagonist was better. But he was different.

‘These specs, this family history … Perfect. I wasn’t happy with that storyline. Now I can do all the ‘villain’ stuff I want.”

This is a heroic tale from the villain’s point of view, in which a man reincarnated as a kind-hearted character who was originally supposed to be the hero’s “best friend” repeatedly stands in front of the hero as a “necessary evil”.

… Well, “justice” is over there, my heroines.

What, are you acting obvious? No, that can’t be right!
