The Empire stands triumphant.
For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland, denied the power they crave, weave their plots behind pleasant smiles. In the north the Forever King eyes the ever-expanding borders of the Empire and ponders war. The greatest danger lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer has finally claimed her throne: her people sundered, she wonders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife.
Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.
---------------
A Practical Guide to Evil is a fantasy series about a young girl named Catherine Foundling making her way through the world – though, in a departure from the norm, not on the side of the heroes. Is there such a thing as doing bad things for good reasons, or is she just rationalizing her desire for control? Good and Evil are tricky concepts, and the more power you get the blurrier the lines between them become.

Comments on the novel chapters for the last week.
In my quest to read only one chap a day, And till now I've been successful and Holy sh*t it's good. It's getting hard, controlling myself in not reading more is getting hard. The way I know tomorrow night I've got something good waiting for me to read is something satisfying as well.
Just a reminder if you want to read this. This novel is a book, not a web novel. Basically, the quality is insane not like any web novels. It also involves a lot of planning so expect a lot of inner monologues. A confusing power system that requires a lot of thinking to understand. Characters that are terrifying and loveable at the same time. And lastly, the MC is a girl who is definitely one of the best anti-hero characters I know. If you are just like me, who is tired of reading web novels, this is for you. I hope you like it just like I do. PS Im at book 4 now and it slaps so hard, and Im hooked literally.
Mc who :/ ? if mc is a girl why don't you add the shoujo tag?
lemme try, i hope i dont get bored as fast as that sitting duck in house then stronk in a century or childhood fren w zenith something made me
Poison Rating 7/10 or 3.5/5 This book is quite an interesting read, and my lower score more has to do with my personal preference on books than any real negative about the book itself. The world building is great, plot line is interesting. Personally, however I have complaints. 1. Way too much detail in setting up a scene, what I mean is that there is often half a chapter of information about how each person walked into a meeting vs the actual meeting itself, which is lead out through 3 chapters each containing tons of additional information. Some people like that, not me. I don't like to be bereft of information but too much is overrated. I don't care to read about the clothes of everyone in a person's entourage when the walk in a room. 2. Random scene changes in the middle of a chapter. I hate it, provide a break in the scene like (Location)(Date/Time) boom now it's made clear. However, it is a good read and I plan on finishing the novel. Despite my mild irratation.
So much information in a sentence. So much emotions and inner Dialoge. Its too much for me. I think I have to drop it as I can't get the motivation to actually read through it. Like other say this quality is basically an actual book and I'm to stupid for those.
Is the mc a girl, I aaint ready to read fmc novel yet
is the mc a girl?
Infuriates, literally all the heroes are brainwashed freaks who are hard to kill, who have constant gifts from heaven, resurrections and so on. Moreover, here is Volume 4: 4 + 4 villains fight on the side of the villains, and 10 + 14 heroes. moreover, the heroes have all the fighters right, and the villains have two sky ones. + more empress, tyrant helike, ranger and chancellor (who is nowhere to be found). That's all the villains for you. and dozens of heroes appear like mushrooms and get all their strength on a silver platter. Tell me, why are more heroes born on the territory of villains than villains? I remind you that the Disasters killed at least 100 heroes in 40 years. Before the invasion, Grief also killed 6 units of heroes (minimum 12-15) in six months. And how many villains have appeared new? Yes, not really, only in the Free Cities there is one new one. where at least some share of justice? I don't expect cohesion from villains, just the fact that they exist.
This stuff is top tier it feels like an actual book. it is on a completely different level than the other stuff on this site highly recommend.
