With this kind of MC, who needs a villain?

Looking for MCs who are good at doing harm than good, on purpose or otherwise, like the three stooges in Shield Hero.

Contessa from Worm althought she isn't a main character. Well, kinda true for the whole Cauldron aside of LaserGay Legend.
Most of the Fairy Tail cast. They ended up saving the world multiple times thought.
Batman.

The Metaworld Chronicles on Royal Road, although the author frames it as if she's the best thing ever. If you don't like Mary Sues, probably ignore this. I did drop it after a while, so things might be different eventually.

Mother of Learning on the same Site has a minor example, though most of the story is not like that.

This one may qualify, though in reality the character is just an anti-villain rather than a nitwit or a narcissist.

I feel like I'd probably drop a story that had a genuine example of this type of character, so... Sorry if none of these were any good.

Oh wait, Riku the Right Wing should qualify.

Yeah, there were some flaws, especially with the translation, but it's probably one of the darkest novels that I actually enjoyed. Still gave me depression, but I actually got that weird catharsis that some people say they get from tragedies for once.
