: Re: How to write a chaotic neutral protagonist and prevent my readers from thinking they are evil? I've come across a problem with one of the main characters in my book. The "heroine" of my story

Don't worry bout labels. Write the character as she is.
From the pen of the immortal Mark Twain:

There are nineteen rules governing literary art in domain of romantic fiction... Cooper violated eighteen of them. These eighteen require:

... 6. They require that when the author describes the character of a personage in the tale, the conduct and conversation of that personage shall justify said description.

I don't see the value in trying to introduce the MC as Chaotic Neutralâ„¢ instead of Evilâ„¢, or worrying about how the reader will evaluate her. Simply present the character as she is, and make sure that what she says and does clearly sets out the kind of person she is. Her redemption arc will be just as meaningful.
