1) There are many villains in the manga I am reading, but the first one that surfaced was Hero Killer: Stain. Stain was a villain who hated most heroes because he felt that most heroes started to lack the charisma to be a hero. He also felt that half of the heroes aren't working for the people, that they are all doing it for the money and popularity aspect. The only hero Stain admires is All Might. All Might is the number one hero in this story, he is full of charisma and truly does it for the people. What motivated Stain the most was to cleanse society of false heroes. His strong ideals and beliefs led him to become the hero killer. He doesn't just kill people to kill, he needs to have a reason to do so.
2) If the story was re-written from Stain's point of view, his actions would seem a bit more justifiable. The narrative would change because he would be giving us insight as to why he is killing off heroes and how he came to those beliefs. Although his beliefs aren't necessarily wrong, the way he is going about it are. In a way, Stain is already somewhat sympathetic. He doesn't kill off heroes that give off the genuine hero spirit. For example, when Iida sought revenge for his brother, he was doing it for a selfish cause and Stain did not like that. But once, Midoriya shows up and demonstrates that he cares about his friend getting out alive rather than killing the hero, in the end Stain spares Midoriya and ends up getting imprisoned.
3) I don't think this manga will end soon, but I do believe since Stain is imprisoned there could be a chance of the author making a new story of him escaping and trying to continue his agenda. Maybe he will even seek revenge on the villain that betrayed him by not working together how he had agreed to do so.

1) The manga I am reading is My Hero Academia by Horikoshi Kouhei, and I chose to read this manga because I watched the anime this summer and it was actually really good. After I got caught up to the third season's recent episode I decided to start reading it because it feels like forever having to wait for the next episode to come out. And in some mangas it actually tells you some things more in detail than in the anime.
2) A memorable quotation I have read so far is "Those around them may not have noticed, but in class A, there are two certain individuals who are having a great effect on all the others". With this quote, Aizawa Shouta, Class 1-A's teacher, points out the fact that Midoriya (the main character of the show) and Bakugo ( Midoriya's childhood friend) have spread their zeal to the rest of the class, meaning that both of them always manage to bring the class together, but they aren't the type to bring attention to themselves either. This brings a lot of importance to the text because it shows the character development between everybody and not just one character and how that all comes into play throughout the manga and show.
3) If I was the author of this book I honestly don't think I would do anything differently. I feel like the story right now is being well-written and thought out, except a couple of parts like not solving some of the previous cases in the past chapters, unless the author plans on introducing the case again later in the story.

Last year I barely read anything if I'm being honest. I would occasionally read when I had to for my English class, but even looking back at it I barely read anything on my part.
One thing I enjoy about reading is being able to see in your head what you read. I like when you find a book that captivates your attention. Certain books are more enjoyable to read when you enjoy the genre you chose.
One thing I hate about reading is that when you read something you don't want to or like, you usually end up hating every minute of the reading. Some books make you feel like you're going to fall asleep in the middle of them, but it really just depends on your choice and preference.
