Seven Seas Licenses 'I Like Villains, so I Reincarnated as One' Light Novel Series (Airship Imprint)

(February 26, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of the light novel series I Like Villains, so I Reincarnated as One by Kei Takano and kodamazon. When one man is isekai'd into the game he's been playing, he winds up becoming the doomed villain. Can his knowledge of the game help him avoid a disastrous fate, or will his meddling cause more harm? A fantasy light novel about rewriting fate and facing the inevitable!

Video game character Vice Hamilton is destined to lose everything—his position, his family, and ultimately his life. A tragic villain who was overshadowed by his talented sister, blamed for mismanaging his territory, and fated to fall at the hands of the game's hero, Vice is nothing more than a failure. And to be reincarnated as him? A fate worse than death! Or is it?

Armed with knowledge of the game's plot, the new Vice has a second chance to rewrite his fate and become a proper villain with a better future. Using his own cheats to avoid every pitfall, Vice has the ability to avoid doom and impending tragedy, all while winning the hearts of the beautiful ladies around him. Can he maintain this new course, grow his harem, and survive the plot that's written against him?!

I Like Villains, so I Reincarnated as One (Light Novel) Vol. 1 will be printed for the first time in the English language in September 2025 for $15.99 USA / $19.99 CAN in single volume editions as part of Seven Seas' Airship imprint. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
