The Executed Sage Is Reincarnated as a Lich and Starts an All-Out War

Well he is technically immortal so no next demon king as far as his plans go. And he’s starting new wäre because well that’s the point.. a peaceful demon nation wouldn’t instill much fear so that the neighbouring nations would form alliance among themselves to defeat the common enemy.. if he does not pose a real threat to them his plan falls flat.. he isn’t about revenge he is about creating a world were humans don’t slaughter each other mindlessly over nothing.. for humanity he is the demon king who wants to kill/enslave all humans.. for the other races he’s a saviour who protects them against the humans who want to eradicate them.. that’s how you write a proper evil lord.. being evil for the sake of being evil is just nothing… The evil lord is not evil towards his own people.. you see such villains time and time again who will slaughter their own subordinates for petty reasons.. MC here wouldn’t do that.. what this story lacks is a proper antagonist. Someone who could pose a threat to the MC, his plans and most important.. his philosophy.. I guess once he revives the former hero we will get that.. the force of nature that he assumes to try to stop him is just that.. a force of nature. That’s no antagonist he can go up against..
