Top 5 worst Sues and Stus (revised)
Since Das_Sporking, I saw a lot of Sues and Stus which are plain awful. My old list is no longer completely relevant, so here is a new one.
5. Raziel from Vegan Artbook. She is supposed to be one of the heroes, yet is a supreme misanthrope who wants to eliminate humans, and kills people for eating meat. Or for joking against veganism. And compares Jews to animals and you are brainwashed if you think otherwise. No, I am not talking about Hitler right now.
4. Jethro from Debt Inheritance. He gloats about murdering the protagonist's family and rapes her or gets her raped more than once, and swears a lot to feel like a badass. Is he supposed to be a cowardly complete monster? Nah, that's how I see him. He is supposed to be a romantic lead.
3. Count Logan from End of Ends. The biggest entitled bitch in all fiction. Ok, you got rejected by a girl. Ok, you didn't deserve it at all, Logan. I can feel bad about you. But what do you do? Realize that maybe she is not good enough for you and take back your life? NOPE. Logan decides to let this get the better of him, descends to outright villainy, gets absorbed by black magic, gaslights the girl into loving him again, murders countless innocents because he got rejected and even blows up a planet because it was the home of one of his friends who was happy with another of his friends. And he gets redeemed after getting exactly what he wanted. We are supposed to root for this piece of shit.
2. Harrymort from Partially Kissed Hero. Which crime did he commit? ALL OF THEM, and the author didn't even bother to finish the story. Murder? Yes. Theft? Yes. Arson? Yes. Slavery? Yes. Animal abuse? Yes. Rape and making women sex slaves? FUCK YES. Genocide? Technically through his minions... but yes! He loves torturing helpless opponents, but never duels because of course he is a fucking pussy. He wants to collect trophy wives and get ultimate power to rule the world. And yet he is supposed to be pure of heart... pure good, that is, because if he was portrayed as pure evil he would be fine!
1. Ian Brandon Anderson. He cursed a cop with eternal suffering because the cop did not let him stalk women. He used his blood to eliminate all homosexuals and basically everything not straight. He tortured to death or exiled and brainwashed four people because they wrote a parody comic. He got in first place by the skin of his rotten teeth, but slaughtering people for being Internet trolls or not letting him harass women is pure evil. And yes, he is supposed to be a hero.
Dear authors, how can I root for these guys who have no redeeming traits whatsoever?

Julia is actually in Finn's Inferno as a minor antagonist. Also, the whole fic is kinda disturbing.
She could compete with Raziel, but it takes A LOT of evil to reach the other four.

He would surpass 5 and 4, sure, but 3 has also blew up planets and races because of a dumb reason, while 1 and 2 did both genocide and sexual crimes.
