🧙 Anti-Hero — Fantasy Trope Guide

Anti-heroes pursue their goals through questionable means — lying, manipulating, and sometimes killing — while the reader roots for them anyway. Unlike traditional heroes, they force us to question what we'd do in their place. Fantasy's sprawling epics give this trope room to develop across thousands of pages of moral erosion.
