Seeking Experiences of power, sadism, humiliation,...

I want to write stories - not necessarily sexual ones - and struggle with writing villainous characters. And I think I know why. I have never learned to enjoy sadism, neither have I ever experienced power or authority. It's like trying to make recipes with tomatoes and curcuma without having ever eaten them, let alone learned to enjoy them.

Now I am wondering whether interactive fiction games can give me that feeling so that I can relate to it and use that experience for my own writing.

Do you know any good games that give you that feeling of power? Or that truly sadistic kick? Perhaps the joy of being a bully? Perhaps the story gives us all reason to enjoy the sadism because the protagonist was torment to the degree that we enjoy the revenge and power.

I am open to any types of media and genres. It need not necessarily be sexual in nature.

That's my bag, and my favorite villain-MC kick is from with . It's so badass turning the map dark with shadow, causing heroes to go insane, inciting civil wars and setting up orcish warlords as a distraction to the real danger. Well, once you understand the gameplay basics, anyway. It's not a story-driven game, but the events and descriptions really sell that you're this world's apocalypse. But for something more character-driven and lewd, let's see:

https://f95zone.to/threads/behind-the-doom-v0-8-unrulyaction.130617/ Badass villain MC that corrupts superheroines, no rape needed.

https://f95zone.to/threads/insight-of-you-v0-10a-adventanyx.45441/ A lot of the characters here are scumbags, including MC and the antagonist that he mindbreaks through the game. The feeling of power comes from the premise of manipulating and dominating the antagonist, who is not just a victim but also fights back. There's a gameplay aspect too, which makes it feel more earned. This game was a real rush the first time.

https://f95zone.to/threads/tyrant-quest-beta-1-redikal.30393/ Another well-written villain MC, this one a pure VN.

https://f95zone.to/threads/princess-tower-v-0-12-public-2-euphemismus.61342/ Alas abandoned, but one of the best-written soft domination stories with a scoundrel MC.

If you want more, I have have this list. And if you want female villains, there could work:

The point is about trauma and loss. To the villain, he is the hero of his own narrative - a tale of retribution against a world he deems worthy of his wrath. There's a couple of good excerpts from .

As for NTR-blackmail stories, the reason of the bull's approach towards women often roots in his own problem with his mother. As examples, there's a bit about this in A Promise Best Left Unkept and The Student Council President Is My Sexfriend - these VN's are well-written anyway, you might be interested to read them.
