Yeah, one thing TNG/DS9 era Star Trek and Terry Pratchett got right is that there’s no such thing as villains... just people who are fanatical enough about achieving their goals that they’re willing to kill you for standing in their way.
Lazily written two-dimensional baddies are so boring, and one of the few areas…

“...extremely basic...”
I haven’t read GoT, but my understanding is that those books have an absolute abundance of detail. Cixin Liu’s characters have names, jobs, and a gender and that pretty much concludes development and arcs. I think DnD are essentially back in the position of adapting an outline.
