- A Practical Guide to Evil is probably my favorite fantasy series of all time.
- Reading and loving it! I tried to read the web serial a few years ago but I didn’t really care for the MC or the prose. I’m happy to say I’m enjoying this go around a lot more. I don’t know if I’m in a better head space than I was before...

Please try the A Practical Guide To Evil series, by ErraticErrata (aka David Verburg)... It is one of the best things I have ever read. While there are plenty of stories with anti-heroes, this is the only one I can think of with a well-executed anti-villain.

Reading and loving it! I tried to read the web serial a few years ago but I didn’t really care for the MC or the prose. I’m happy to say I’m enjoying this go around a lot more. I don’t know if I’m in a better head space than I was before or the editing pass improved it drastically. Regardless I’m really enjoying it

Cannot recommend this highly enough.
Love the Calamities and other groups of villains from A Practical Guide to Evil.
A Practical Guide to Evil by ErricErrata. Catherine Foundlings is a young girl making her way through the world and fighting to liberate the people from the injustices they suffered but not by the regular means and heroic actions. She will do anything to accomplish her objectives even if that means learning how to do evil in a practical sense from the devil himself.
