Villain's Vignettes: Volume 1 (Villains' Code)

Seeing villains as complex characters rather than just antagonists adds a fresh layer to the genre. I'm curious what motivated this perspective shift.

The stories are pretty dark, but the humor really lightened the mood for me. Did others feel the same about balancing comedy with grim themes?

It's tricky to make villains sympathetic without making them seem soft. I wonder what writing choices helped achieve that balance here.
