&lt;p&gt;This is it…the main villain is before me. And damn does he look ridiculous.&lt;br&gt;He’s wearing a pink and white maid outfit with a jewel-encrusted collar. My sworn enemy has fuzzy handcuffs and the most extravagantly bedazzled chastity belt I’ve ever seen. The fiend’s white cat ears look almost real, like the ones from My Little Sister is Obviously the Young One. He also has a long tail with a large pink bow at the end. His heart earrings and rainbow bracelets are just too tacky. His long flowing light pink hair is tied with two dark pink bows. He also has light pink glossy lips and a sick smile.&lt;br&gt;Just what the hell is this guy? I wasn’t aware I let Tumblr design my antagonist. Whatever, at least I’ll get some LGBT fans for this…I just hope they actually watch my show.&lt;br&gt;“I think you’re confused Sir, the Gay Pride Parade doesn’t set up until next week,” I say.&lt;br&gt;So many things happened that I completely forgot that he was going to show up this episode. But I can manage. If I can just wig him out, I can get out of this mess.&lt;br&gt;“Greetings, hero. I am The Love Dictator!” he exclaims, sending me a heart sign.&lt;br&gt;I leap out of the way and then run up to him. My fist meets his face. “My name is Main, and you’re Flamboyant Villain,” I say, wiping his cooties off on my pants.&lt;br&gt;No, I’m not being homophobic. I’m just being careful.&lt;br&gt;The evil fashion disaster does a somersault and lands back on his feet as I rush him. He grabs my fist before it makes contact. His intense pink eyes gaze into me. “How did you know my name was Flam!? And what gives you the right to name me like a pet? I am the king of this country! Whatever I say becomes law!” he yells, his tail moving back and forth in frustration.&lt;br&gt;And let me guess, this king lives in Glam Castle. I really wish Banana Man had told me this was the guy running the country.&lt;br&gt;“Main, be careful. His power is unlike any you’ve faced,” says Stalker seriously.&lt;br&gt;Well it’s not like I’ve been in a martial arts tournament. Of course he’s the strongest. He’s the main villain. That shit goes without saying.&lt;br&gt;I wrestle my hand out from his grip. “I’m the Main Character! I can name you whatever I want!” I yell as I punch him again.&lt;br&gt;His scarfed collar seizes my fist, holding me in place.&lt;br&gt;“Your naivety is so adorable. Do you have any idea how insignificant you are?” he asks as his hand grabs my cheeks.&lt;br&gt;This asshole thinks he can target my insecurities. Well too bad for him, I don’t have any!&lt;br&gt;“Leave him alone!” yells Stalker.&lt;br&gt;“What’s this, a little girl is here too? What are you doing here? You know it’s dangerous to be in the forest all alone.” His scarf slams me to the ground.&lt;br&gt;“Why do you attack our village? We wouldn’t send heroes against you, if you just let us live in peace. Why are you so cruel?” asks Stalker in tears.&lt;br&gt;“I am The Dictator of Love, not peace. The beauty of love is conflict. I have no need for such boring things as peace. Now come with me, little one. It’s not safe here,” he says, beckoning her with his hand.&lt;br&gt;Stalker tries to spit in his face but her aim is off and it lands two feet in front of her. “I’m staying with the hero and he’s going to stop you!”&lt;br&gt;“Poor boy got dragged into your village’s hopeless rebellion.” His scarf moves in a flash and wraps around Stalker’s throat. “I own every inch of land and every creature that walketh upon it. To go against me is to bite into your own heart,” he says, strangling her till her eyes bulge. &lt;br&gt;If her eyes get any bigger, she’ll end up looking like a certain live action cyborg loli.&lt;br&gt;I get back to my feet and I wipe the blood off my chin with a shaky hand.&lt;br&gt;Come on, this is just like every first encounter. This isn’t scary. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for. I have to show her that I’m a real hero! &lt;br&gt;“I’m not going to sit here and let you exploit the people and their land. I’m the hero of destiny and if you don’t stand down, I will kill you!” I yell, slicing the scarf with a dagger I stole from Assailant.&lt;br&gt;Yeah! That’s right! I’m a hero! I have to fight for justice and shit like that.&lt;br&gt;The main villain hides himself by expanding his scarf. The scarf flows behind me. &lt;br&gt;I swipe him as soon as he gets in range.&lt;br&gt;Flamboyant Villain dodges my punch and grabs my nipples. &lt;br&gt;I gasp in pain as he twists them swiftly. &lt;br&gt;He grabs onto my neck. “It’s so cute how you fight for that pathetic village. My heart can’t bear the way you look at her. It bleeds for you and you alone,” he says while fondling my chest with his other hand.&lt;br&gt;“Wait…Main…you like me?” she asks with extreme blushing.&lt;br&gt;“It’s not like that!” I yell.&lt;br&gt;I’m not being a tsundere here. I’m not into grade-schoolers. It’s that simple.&lt;br&gt;“I can smell the desire all over you. Your lips beckon her. Oh, you are just so cute! I must have a sample.” Flamboyant Villain presses his lips up against mine and gives me a deep passionate kiss. &lt;br&gt;What is happening? Why is he so good at this? My head feels dizzy. So dizzy.&lt;br&gt;As I’m being defiled all I can hear is Stalker wailing out in misery.&lt;br&gt;“I was supposed to take his virginity!” she cries, grabbing Flam’s leg.&lt;br&gt;Despicable. After what he just did, she only thinks of herself. &lt;br&gt;Flam’s eyes tear up upon seeing her. “Such passionate misery. This is the beauty of a broken heart. Cry little one, cry over your defiled lover! Aha-aha-haha-aha!”&lt;br&gt;That is the most foppish laugh I’ve ever heard. Damn faggy fop stole my kiss.&lt;br&gt;I grab onto his arm, crushing it with my romantic rage.&lt;br&gt;“I was saving my lips for my special someone. You’ve ruined my manly dream! I’ll destroy you!” I exclaim, my eyes catching fire.&lt;br&gt;Flamboyant Villain slams me to the ground with a single finger and puts on a monocle. “The tragedy of love is truly beautiful! Jealousy, hatred and sorrow all come from the heart’s desire to love. Now that I’ve broken your frail little heart, you’ve truly awakened. Let the tragedy of your de-virginization sink in! Seize your emotion and thrust it into me!” exclaims Flam, holding his arms wide open.&lt;br&gt;“Senpai, catch!” yells Stalker, throwing me a vial.&lt;br&gt;Flamboyant Villain shatters the vial and the gooey fluid inside bursts all over my hair.&lt;br&gt;I’m going to make him pay for stealing my first kiss!&lt;br&gt;I scream out in fury, the flames in my hair turning bright gold. I was becoming blond! My hair then shot forth like a shotgun, piercing straight through Flamboyant Villain.&lt;br&gt;“Such exquisite pain. It’s tickling me. You aren’t like the others. You are a bundle of fun. I won’t kill you just yet. I’ll play with you until I get bored, then I’ll unravel you into a glorious tapestry of suffering,” he says with eyes that shimmer with cruelty.&lt;br&gt;My hair pulls out from his flesh, soaking his get up with blood.&lt;br&gt;“You son of a bitch! I’ll make you pay for this!” I yell with manly tears.&lt;br&gt;My hair changes shape, becoming a giant fist.&lt;br&gt;That’s what I’m talking about! Now I can molest cute blondies like Flair!&lt;br&gt;“What a clever but oh so familiar way to manipulate energy. You’re still a bud now. I’m going to wait for you to blossom before I pluck you from the earth. Toodaloo, boy, I look forward to our next encounter,” says Flamboyant Villain before my hair fist slams into him.&lt;br&gt;I wasn’t going to let him get away. My rage was now focused on a single target.&lt;br&gt;“Fist of Many Many Punches!” I yell.&lt;br&gt;Tiny bundles of hair branch out of the massive fist, pummeling Flam gratuitously.&lt;br&gt;I increase the power of my hair fists. “One of those punches was for Banana Man. I know you stole his daughter.”&lt;br&gt;The evil villain giggles like a kindergartner getting tickled as his body is bruised and bloodied. He lands in a split after smashing through a tree. “If you keep on tickling me, I’m going to pee,” he says, crossing his legs.&lt;br&gt;The scarf buries into the ground and then comes out beneath me. It wraps around my whole body in seconds.&lt;br&gt;“Mmmm, I can feel your every curve,” he says as his scarf feels me up.&lt;br&gt;Ugh. This creep is making me so uncomfortable.&lt;br&gt;“Don’t hurt him,” cries Stalker, grabbing the villain’s leg.&lt;br&gt;“Ah! Those smitten eyes. See how much closer I’ve brought you two. Aha-Aha!” He creates a scarf with his pink aura and wraps her up.&lt;br&gt;“Let her go!” I yell.&lt;br&gt;“Your words are so uninspired. Only true poetry can sway moi.” He tosses her onto his shoulder. “If you want your little girlfriend back, then come to my fabulous castle! Oh, but you might want to go back to that pathetic village first. I ordered a raid about an hour ago. Next time we meet bring me some flowers, red roses are my favorite!”&lt;br&gt;He’s getting away with the heroine. I should be happy. But…I’m not. My lips are still burning from his wickedness.&lt;br&gt;“I’ll come for you! It’s a pinky promise!” I yell as I rush towards them.&lt;br&gt;Ugh. That sounded soooo lame.&lt;br&gt;Scarfs litter the area and mask his escape. &lt;br&gt;No time for an ending song, I’ve got to save the village. What the hell, why is the song coming up? Damn it!&lt;br&gt;Happy music fills the air as a bunch of soldier cat boys burn down the town. People are slaughtered to a joyful beat. I’m really going to kill that flamboyant bastard now. Wait, they’re gathered around the temple hospital. And their general is requesting something. The end.&lt;br&gt;What the hell does he want? Alright, no time for a sneak peek. &lt;br&gt;Flam’s voice suddenly enters my thoughts. &lt;br&gt;Next time on Main Character. The cute boy struggles to save his girlfriend’s pathetic village. Oh my god, he looks just adorable covered in all that blood. Will he make it in time? Or will my forces gain possession of a very special item? Sorry ladies, but I won’t be showing up in the next episode. Be sure to keep watching though. I look forward to seeing Main struggle in the maze of his despair.” &lt;br&gt;Ring ring. Ring ring.&lt;br&gt;I put my finger to my ear.&lt;br&gt;“Hold it, Plasma Snake,” says Best Friend. “You need to swap discs. I know, I know… It’s a pain. But you need to swap Disc 1 for Disc two. Do you see the disc labeled ‘2’?”&lt;br&gt;“Uh. No,” I say.&lt;br&gt;“Huh? Oh, wait! It’s a BOB-ray disc. Double-layered, too – no need to swap.”&lt;br&gt;“Damn it, Otakucon, get a grip!”&lt;br&gt;“Yeah, what an age we live in, huh, Plasma Snake? Wonder what they’ll think of next.”&lt;br&gt;-transmission end- &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A subversive PUNCH to the face!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join Main Character and Best Friend, two proud American otakus and ViralTube legends, who are pulled into another world and bribed into joining a growing conflict between victimized villages and deranged dictators. Anime tropes only lead to shattered expectations for our ego-driven hero! He is accompanied by awesome allies, protected by canonical plot armor, and armed with the power of Friendship (a vulgar rocket launcher who uses emotions as ammo). But  will these and his encyclopedic knowledge of anime be enough to overcome the threats of a dimension hopping assassin, a guardian angel's sexual advances, a musclebound amazonian, memory erasing mushrooms, a Fearsome Dragon, a charismatic king with a psychotic obsession for our hero and his army of cut throat cat boys?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Main Character is a 4th wall breaking parody packed with anime references, subversive characters and intense battles!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Print versions of this book and other novels/manga can be obtained at SphereofCompassion.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
