Well, Kubera has 10 main characters (the ones shown in the prologue). Of these:

  • One of the good guys is slowly transitioning into uh... evil, I guess.
  • One of the other good guys turns out to be a serial killer.
  • One of the good guys is on a slow mental breakdown course.
  • One of the bad guys was originally a bad guy turned good, but now he's doing bad things to save his daughter.
  • One of the other bad guys is pretty bad somehow, but he's also trying to find and protect his siblings.
  • One of them, well... he doesn't seem like an inherently bad person, but his plans sure involve making a lot of people miserable

does Death Note count?

If you're looking for another media with same plot, I'd suggest a 2014 J-drama called

Border.

Well, I've already spoiled the ending by telling you this one has a "good MC that turned evil" story, but you'll definitely love the process behind it. I'd say it's a beautiful tragedy.

protagonist from Immortal Regis, average goody two shoes in the original work, turns into an Anti-Villain in it's Sequel

Protagonist changes, but he's one of the main antagonists of that series, has an entire story arc (From Volume 4 to Volume 7) dedicated to his fall from hero to anti-villain.

Akumetsu

MC is a vigilante terrorist, killing off the corrupt

Tower of God

Doesn't happen until the second arc though

Sanctuary

Two brothers decide to take full control of Japan; One tries to become the prime minister and one tries to take control of the japanese underground crime scene ing the other from below

That's all I can think of. There's a bunch of deuteragonist-turned-villain though like sasuke from naruto, and the master from The Breaker.

Death Note by the way) that begins as an Anti-hero and goes to Anti-villain territory on the course of the series, Shou never makes this transition and stays as an Anti-hero until the end.

Tower of God
Again i disagree.

MC was forced to the villainous organization against his will, he never killed anyone in combat, at most he would push his former allies away from him. And that story arc is done, and he's back to goody two shoes again...

Sanctuary

Again, there's clearly a big bad that the main characters (again anti-heroes) have to face, and many of the people that they do kill are related to this big bad.

I also disagree. The MC is pretty much sunshines and clean air. I honestly cannot point to a single event that would say he's anything but a good guy.

berserk

Main character 2 (can't say that Griffith isn't a Main character the story is about him and guts) Griffith goes from a pretty decent friend to offering every fucking person he knew for his goal(even taught author points at start that Griffith will do anything for his goal. but when you'll see the point change, you will understand what i mean)

Something like Seimaden? Seimaden you'll probably have to read a bit far, or read the gaiden though.

Well, there's probably a lot if you loosen the a bit.

Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari

If you read more on the LN you'll notice that he's almost going evil but get dragged up last sec and help's people around being a decent guy

I was focusing more on "or it can be like he has to turn evil to save someone or save something he loves and or wants to protect". which is present in all 3. They're good people who has to do bad things to save something, anti-hero or not, anti-villain or not, whether it happened gradually or not because the OP didn't really mention any of those. But I see your point. You're basically talking about something on the essence of Breaking Bad, right? 😛 It was just one of the settings he asked for though. I went for the other one.

As for The Tower of God,

Well what you are saying is the conclusion you get after reading it, something that was only revealed gradually as the arc went on. At the beginning were you able to tell if he really has turned or not? Either way, he ed the bad guys and accepts to be their assassin and he did it 'to save something he loves" all of which adheres to the quote above.

I still recommend them, but apologies to the OP if they're not what you're looking for ^^

I love the stories where MC does evil to protect the world

  • Vampire Juujikai
    Vampire king wants peace with humans but they fear him because he is OP so he unites them by becoming the enemy to both humans and vampires
    Personal rating: 10/10

  • Dendrobates
    Assassin that kills evil people
    Personal rating: 8/10

  • Ubel Blatt
    MC swears vengeance against the 7 heros who betrayed him
    Personal rating: 10/10

  • Trace
    Evil guy tries to kill the heros but it was all to strengthen them
    Personal rating: 5/10

also agree with Kubera (8/10) does have a character swapping between good and evil to find his path but its not the MC

Kind of hard to find the specific topic that you are looking for so I just sort of based it on "doing evil for the great of good"

When looking for a specific element in a story I don't think ANYONE wants that element to seem to be present until it's revealed that the story does in fact NOT contain that element... lol. It would only serve to make that person angry/disappointed.

Kimi no Knife

Teacher turns mercenary vigilante in order to pay the medical bills for his sick sister, and since this is a fairly realistic tale, things escalate from there. I'm not too sure whether to actually categorize the protagonist as a true villain, but he certainly crosses the moral event horizon.

A Fairytale for the Demon Lord

This is pretty much what you are looking for. Pretty simple premise that turns very meta towards the end of the first "season".
