You know, having a villain as the main character is not really a bad idea, actually i like the concept. But it requires a good writter in order to make us feel comfortable and like him/her. Take for example the main characters of GTA, all of them are murderous psychopaths without any regard for human life in order to get what they want. More if we talk about Trevor and Tommy, but you still can like them and enjoy the game even if the main characters are villains. You know, is like having an anti-hero as a protagonist, all depends on how good is the writter.

I'd recommend you to try to writte a fanfic with a villain as the main character but trying to explore about his traits, reasons, conflicts, you can make a villain sympathetic even if you writte it as a monster, but you need good reasons to make this villain sympathetic or likeable. A villain protagonist doesn't have to be a hate sink, but if you try to writte a grey character you have to know specifically what "grey" means on morality.
