if he killed the hero it would be a pretty short story. best guess i have is hes going to f up because hero plot armor and either make things worse or no difference.
@Kamelpov didn't you read chapter 1? He was always a villain for personal reasons and in this chapter he said that he doesn't really care about himself since his future self would stop him if he made a wrong move. He doesn't care about world domination, he was always fueled by personal vendetta.
@rlackbabbit you know personal vendetta can be solved by multiple means. Either have a better standard of living than your rival (you king and the rival pesant or man in jail) or the classic kill him.
@Kamelpov and you know from the 1st chater that he's already decided that his method would be to straight up kill him? money, standard of living and influence are just tools for him.
Its like the author writes that the MC loves milk but then you go "oh but what if instead of milk he likes orange juice instead". He doesn't there is an established personality and motivations set by the author.
@rlackbabbit It's just a not optimized choice. And yea I'm complaining about it the guy reason is cringe like most marvel evil guy sob story. Even Lex Luthor do it better.
