Many of the villains in the story qualify all up until [[Literature/ThreeHundredThirtyHours Don Hunter]] who is a much more sympathetic character.

Added DiffLines:
* ''Literature/ThirtyDaysInSpring'': [[TeensAreMonsters Ryan Rhodes]], despite being the [[VillainProtagonist protagonist]] of the story, is the only character without any likable traits. Not only does he kill, rape, and torture just for the [[ForTheEvulz fun of it]], he is an absolute [[DirtyCoward coward]] who acts like a jerk to basically anyone he sees, showing no gratitude towards Aaron for saving his life despite begging for someone to come to his rescue just seconds ago. He hates his own family for no real reason aside from the fact that they get on his nerves at times, and he even treats his own gang like [[BadBoss dirt]], not batting an eye when they are killed. All in all, it is clear that he is not someone we should feel any sympathy for.
* ''Literature/FragmentsOfASoul'': [[PosthumousCharacter Mr. Hemmensway]] was the [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] of Adam Hemmensway. Prior to the start of the story, he spent years and years sexually abusing Adam, using methods like forcing him to strip himself in front of him, kissing him and ordering him to masturbate him while he was trying to sleep, and [[AttemptedRape attempting to rape him]]. He would beat Adam whenever Adam tried to tell his mother about the abuse, and he nearly got Adam killed at a water park once. Ultimately, it is his actions that sexually damaged Adam and caused him to live a destructive lifestyle.
* ''Literature/ACaseInBucksville'':
** [[spoiler:[[SerialKiller Jonathan Moore]] is an absolutely repulsive excuse of a human being who murdered his own family when he was a teenager solely because [[DisproportionateRetribution they annoyed him]] and developed an addiction to [[WouldHurtAChild strangling children to death]]. He is extremely proud of his actions, kills solely because he finds it funny, and has a habit of playing sick games with the residents in every towns he targets just to cause chaos. As if he couldn't get any more loathsome, he even asks the police officers to let him commit one more murder in prison if he shows "good behavior", using the excuse that "everyone dies".]]
** While Jason Hynes [[spoiler:ultimately isn't the one who killed his son]], he is still nevertheless a bad-tempered and foul-mouthed JerkAss who hardly mourns his son and pushes away anyone who tries to comfort him or solve the murder. It is heavily implied that he abused Michael as well, and even the death of his wife isn't enough to make him appear sympathetic thanks to his coarse, slimy, and insensitive nature.
* ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfASword'':
** [[EvilOverlord Emperor Ginold]] is the [[TheDreaded feared]] and absolutely [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating despised]] ruler of Northeast Planet. Prior to the events of the main story, he overthrew the benevolent ruler Kornol the Great and started a reign of terror, torturing and executing anyone who got in his way. Almost every other move he makes is a KickTheDog act, and to firmly cement his despicability, [[spoiler:he kills his henchman Balthazar at the moment he turns on him, [[TheHeroDies murders Jordan and Arnie]], and has Gary subjected to a FateWorseThanDeath]].
** Subverted with [[TheDragon Balthazar]]. Throughout much of the story, he appears to be nothing more than a pain in the ass who constantly tries to hinder the heroes' plan to defeat Ginold, and is only there to invoke facepalms from readers, leaving them with no choice but to cheer every single time he fails in getting his hands on the heroes. [[spoiler:However, it ultimately comes to light that Balthazar is actually [[LukeIAmYourFather Jordan's father]] who was believed to be dead, and in his final moments, he [[RedemptionEqualsDeath sacrifices himself to protect his son]].]]
** [[ImAHumanitarian Morliss]], nicknamed the "Mountain Giant", is a revolting piece of scum who killed a dog and threw a baby into the creek for fun. To gain physical strength and become a wrestling champion, he began [[WouldHurtAChild eating children]] and then tried to do the same to Jordan and his friends when they crossed paths. Not a single soul gives a crap when he gets [[KickTheSonOfABitch bludgeoned to death by Ginold]].
** [[LoonyFan Adrianna de la Santos]] is a violent, sadistic woman with a fanatic obsession with Emperor Ginold. She murdered her own family and either killed or participated in the murders of over sixty other people before collecting their skeletons as trophy. She then maimed and hung herself just to traumatize anyone who saw her body. In the story, she nearly [[MindRape brainwashes]] Jordan into killing everyone near him before [[PsychicAssistedSuicide killing himself]], and she has apparently done this to eighty other people as well. [[spoiler:At the end of the story, she erases any likability she had by personally murdering Olivia and Carl during the war against Ginold]].
** [[TheMole Colonel Biorge]] is a sleazy imbecile of a man who betrayed his army and killed one of the soldiers during the final war against Ginold, invoking much contempt and horror from the other characters. He uses the deaths of his friends and family to justify his betrayal, but he uses possibly the most outrageous and ridiculous logic for doing so (specifically, he believes that [[InsaneTrollLogic by killing as many people as he can, Ginold will give up trying to wipe out people by the dozens and that will somehow bring justice to his dead family]]). To say his death at the hands of Jordan is cathartic would be an understatement.
* ''Literature/ProjectA75'': Ryan Rhodes is just as much of a hateable prick as he was in his first story. He acts like a total asshole to everyone and never misses an opportunity to taunt Amelia over what he did. He also refuses to take responsibility for any of the atrocious crimes he committed while in the woods. He also willingly teams up with Mr. Pink, who he fully believes is trying to wipe out humanity all for his own sadistic thrills and the opportunity to make Amelia his SexSlave.
