I'm not sure this is the right place for this, but I feel the point of my question fits best with this genre.
Now I know the main story here. Good guy/gal sets out to do noble goal. People/circumstances get in the way and often times, the protagonist does what they needed to do.
But there are some cases in which case, there is someone evil who is the protagonist. The story that comes to mind is the anime Death Note in which a teenager comes across a book in which, when you write a name in it, that person will die. That person then sets out on the goal of killing every criminal so the world is a better place.
Now I don't believe that the majority of people would support executing everyone who has ever been to jail, however, I feel like most people are curious in how protagonists get out of difficult situations and want them to succeed; they don't want the opposing forces to get to them.
So I'm now scratching my head and asking, "Why?"
Is it just to get a good story? Do we have a little piece of morbid fantasies as long as they remain fantasies? Is there something else I'm missing?
Mods, if I posted this in the wrong spot, feel free to move it to the correct one.
Thanks!
