Most authors (JP and not) are simply bad at writing. Especially when it comes to short-form by-committee works.The writing here is so lazy
WN-first and Manga-first are especially guilty of this; due to episodic format without serious editorial review.
There was a phrase describing this: "instant catharsis". The only villains created are "comic book evil" with "heroic defeat".
Moreover, plot developments are forced and unnatural. Author has an event they want to happen -- reality warps to suit.
In fact, I'm having a hard time thinking of a manga with a realistic / natural progression of the rise and fall of a villain.
And not some highly suspect "flashback sequence", where author tries propping up a narrative too late.
Maybe "Ancient Magus' Bride" male protagonist (and his rise as anti-villain).
