Can you recommend some negative hero novels?

One such novel could be 'Overlord'. In it, the main character is kind of a 'demon lord' figure in the new world he finds himself in. He has his own goals and methods that are not always heroic in the traditional sense.

Well, one characteristic is the morally ambiguous protagonist. In negative hero novels, the main character often has both good and bad qualities. For example, they might be driven by noble goals but use immoral methods to achieve them.

Another one is 'The Dark - Hero's Ascent'. It shares the concept of a non - standard hero. The main character in this novel, like the one in 'negative hero and the demon lord army leader novel', often makes choices that are different from the norm, and has an interesting relationship with the forces of evil or the so - called 'demon - like' entities.

Sure. 'The Lord of the Rings' is a great hero novel. It features many heroic characters like Frodo, who undertakes the arduous journey to destroy the One Ring. Another one is 'The Count of Monte Cristo', where the protagonist Edmond Dantes is a hero in his own right as he seeks revenge against those who wronged him in a very clever and determined way. And 'A Song of Ice and Fire' also has numerous heroic figures in its complex and engaging story.

Sure. 'The Bridgerton Series' has some possessive hero elements in it. The male characters often show a sense of possessiveness towards the female characters they are interested in. 'Wuthering Heights' is another classic example. Heathcliff's possessiveness towards Catherine is a central theme in the novel. It drives his actions and the overall tragic plot of the story.

One great example is 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck. The Joad family, especially Tom Joad, can be seen as heroes in a very real and gritty context of the Great Depression. Another is 'Crime and Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoevsky, where Raskolnikov is a complex hero dealing with his own moral and psychological struggles in a realistic 19th - century Russian setting.

Yes, 'Ulysses' by James Joyce, which could be considered in the realm of complex and heroic - like novels. It is a masterful work that uses a stream - of - consciousness style. It presents a day in the life of Leopold Bloom in Dublin, filled with complex characters, allusions, and a deep exploration of human nature and modern life.

I'm not sure about many specific 'defiled hero novels' off the top of my head. However, 'Macbeth' by Shakespeare could be considered in a sense. Macbeth starts as a noble and heroic figure, but his ambition and the influence of the witches lead him to commit heinous acts, thus defiling his heroic nature.

One great 'zero to hero novel' is 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho. The main character, Santiago, starts as a simple shepherd but embarks on a journey of self - discovery that leads him to great things.

Sure. 'The Lord of the Rings' is a great hero saga novel. It follows the journey of Frodo and his companions as they strive to destroy the One Ring. Another one is 'The Odyssey', which tells the story of Odysseus' long and arduous journey home after the Trojan War.
