I'm The Villain, So What?

"I'm The Villain, So What?" is a bold, unapologetic story about defying expectations, embracing your flaws, and learning to love yourself-even when society tells you you're not supposed to.Ash is a 22-year-old who's always been the bad guy in everyone else's story. Whether it's through his sharp tongue, his unfiltered opinions, or his tendency to push people away, he's earned a reputation for being the villain in the small circles he's part of. To Ash, it's all a part of the mask he's perfected over the years-protecting himself from the vulnerability he's too afraid to face. He's lived his life on the edge, creating chaos in his relationships, rejecting love before it can hurt him, and making himself the villain rather than risk being the victim.But when he meets Ryan, a sweet, idealistic artist with a heart too pure for this world, Ash is confronted with something he's never been able to escape: the parts of himself he's tried to hide. Ryan doesn't see Ash as the villain, not at first. He sees someone complicated, someone who's hurting, someone who just needs to be understood. Despite Ash's protests and his self-destructive tendencies, Ryan isn't backing down.As the two grow closer, Ash is forced to confront the ugly truths about himself: the bitterness, the fear, the vulnerability he's tried so hard to bury. Ryan doesn't let Ash hide behind the armor he's built, and as they navigate the stormy waters of their evolving relationship, Ash realizes that maybe being the "villain" isn't as much of a choice as he once thought. It's easier to push people away, easier to keep love at arm's length, than it is to let someone see you for who you really are-and to allow them to love you despite your flaws.I'm The Villain, So What? is a story about embracing the parts of ourselves we fear the most and learning that being "bad" doesn't make us unworthy of love. It's about breaking down the walls we've built up to protect ourselves, even when it means taking a hard look at who we've become. This book explores the gray areas of identity, love, and redemption, and the idea that sometimes, the "villain" is just someone who hasn't learned how to be vulnerable yet.With sharp wit, dark humor, and plenty of emotional depth, I'm The Villain, So What? challenges the trope of the "flawed hero" and flips it on its head. Ash's journey is messy, raw, and ultimately empowering, reminding us that we are all more than the labels placed on us-and that we all deserve love, even when we think we don't.
