Reminded me of the evil god from that intergalactic villain who keep doing bad things but end up in good result leading to his downward spiral.

Hah! I knew the plot of the manga is like this, and not the "wants to be bad but is just too nice to pull it off" that a bunch of people thought it was going to be in the last chapter!

VIN.DI.CA.TIOOOOOON!

While I don't hate the "villain who keeps lucking into being a hero" trope, I much prefer Liam's whole "I am evil by our world's standards but not by a feudal system's". The whole lucking into stuff can get pretty stale pretty fast.
Actually i kinda like it. Say what you will about why he wants to be seen as an asshole but he is actually making reasonable attempts to be one, and not being a little bitch and actually having mercy or such that could screw up his plan to be a villain, he just straight up goes "Fuck those kids". I find him being a little dick weasle, wanting to be seen as a dick weasle, and actually following through and legitmately acting like a dick weasle, only to find out his attempts to be a dick weasle are constantly being foiled by powers beyond his control and reversed on him much more entertaining than if he was doing something stupid like thinking he'd be seen as evil by massively improving everyone's standard of living and just taxing them slightly more afterwards, or going out to fight the bandits attacking his people but taking some of the spoils, or some other obviously not evil or even dickish thing and somehow thinking it's villainous.

But that's all this manga has. In the next chapter, he will try to do something evil and luck into being a hero. Then the same in the next chapter, then the next, and the next one after that. I've read other mangas with this very premise, and they got old fast.

Just because it looks like it might be a gimmick manga doesn't mean it's automatically bad though.

First of all the gimmick is at least currently funny.
Second: there's great gimmick mangas out there that just choose to have 10~30 banger chapters of the best the gimmick has to offer and end it, so it might not get old (example: Alicia-san Diet Quest)
Third: even if it goes on a long time there's plenty of gimmick mangas that keep gimmick protags and still find ways of keeping it interesting. Like Saitama still is a gimmick character and his manga works. Shadow (from Eminence) is like 2 and a half gimmick characters and he still works, etc.

Doesn't mean it'll be anywhere near as good as those other mangas honestly but from the mangas that have started in the past few months this is one of the ones I'm more hopeful towards. (Tho it's hard to be confident about these things until you at least have enough chapters for at least a volume) For now we only really have a single character, and I assume next chapter we'll get into the maid we've seen the back of a few times and see how they play off each-other.
