Summary
Raising Villains the Right Way follows a corporate worker who suddenly finds himself reincarnated inside a fantasy game world as a minor noble character destined to die at the hands of future villains. Instead of accepting this tragic fate, he decides to change the story by taking control of the situation and raising the young villains before they fall into darkness. His goal is simple: reform them early so he can live a peaceful aristocratic life without being killed later.
However, the plan does not go as smoothly as expected. After helping these troubled children overcome their harsh pasts and guiding them toward better lives, they grow up to become powerful and influential figures.
