Raising Villains the Right Way (악당들의 스폰서가 되었다), also frequently translated as Became the Patron of Villains, will release its English fast-scan version of Raising Villains the Right Way Chapter 35 next Thursday, May 14, 2026!
If you have been keeping up with this incredibly popular new isekai/system manhwa (which caused massive hype when it debuted with over 10 translation groups fighting for it ), you know the story centers on Lee Jin-woo. After possessing the body of an extra who is fated to be murdered by the game’s future villains, he spends 10 years anonymously sponsoring and supporting them from the shadows, accidentally creating a massive underground organization of overpowered individuals who are deeply devoted to him.

Why Raising Villains the Right Way Chapter 35 Matters
The series is currently adapting the high-stakes middle arcs of the Korean web novel. Jin-woo has been forced to navigate the incredibly stressful reality of his “sponsored” villains seeking out his true identity, while also dealing with the corrupted nobility of the Kingdom of Ashtalon.
What makes this moment so powerful? By the mid-30s chapters, the narrative is heavily focused on the villains realizing just how powerful and influential their “Patron” actually is. Chapter 35 (which corresponds to the novel chapter titled “Leader…? Me…? (3)” ) is a major turning point where Jin-woo is forced into a leadership position he desperately wanted to avoid to maintain his “extra” status.
Raising Villains the Right Way Chapter 35 Spoilers
Because the manhwa is directly adapting a web novel that is already heavily translated (up to 350+ chapters ), readers already know the exact trajectory of this arc.
The Underground Meeting in Malteon
The chapter opens in the vast territory of Malteon, located south of the Kingdom of Ashtalon. Spoilers indicate that Raising Villains the Right Way Chapter 35 will feature a highly tense underground meeting between two men who are deeply connected to the criminal underworld and Jin-woo’s shadow organization. Fans anticipate seeing the expanding scope of Jin-woo’s influence, as these men discuss the terrifying “Patron” who has been silently controlling the continent’s most dangerous figures.
Jin-woo’s Accidental Leadership
The title of the novel chapter, “Leader…? Me…?” points directly to the core comedy and tension of the series. Jin-woo only wanted to raise the villains so they wouldn’t kill him in the future, but they have formed a fanatical devotion to him. Spoilers suggest Chapter 35 will showcase his internal panic as he realizes that his “villains” are actively pushing him to become the definitive leader of a new, massive faction.
