Ongoing
When I, an overworked corporate s*ave, was reincarnated into another world, I ended up as Alfred, the villain from a certain light novel who gets his comeuppance. This guy is a despicable character who steals the protagonist’s childhood friend and gets him expelled from the party, eventually leading to Alfred’s downfall and a miserable end.
No way! I refuse to be the one who gets punished for his mistakes!
There’s still time before the protagonist is expelled.
I’ll use my knowledge of the original story to avoid the path of destruction!
Determined, Alfred (the corporate s*ave) changes his ways.
Gradually, he gains the respect of those around him and is eventually viewed as a hero…
Meanwhile, with the expulsion flag broken, the protagonist starts acting out of character in unexpected ways due to the original plot…
“Huh, isn’t this different from the original story?”
