(Actually we don't even know what he is planning, he wants to turn the reality upside down but for what purpose, I think it's too soon to call him a simple villain).

The fact that he made many taboo crimes will depend on the series' classification, comparing villains like Frieza is so bad since they're almost the same. The same goes to Lich, nothing but a generic dark lord who wants to destroy the world. The only villain I can kill "evil" in Dragon Ball is Zamasu, who is far more interesting and complex while other MANY, MANY (A LOT) of DB villains are just card-carrying villains who wants to bring chaos, genocide, destruction blah, blah, blah... That's why Zamasu is more interesting than Frieza, actually.

Junko Enoshima, for example, is a perfect example of a bad written character. She wants to bring despair because she is bored, there is nothing more empty than that, she has no meaning or reasons (just like the Major from Hellsing who kick the hell out of the word "for the evulz". Well, from that Isaac can be said as generic destroyer of worlds with a very interesting personality instead of being that boring doomsday villain like many villains from DC and Marvel, he just need a "reason".

Joker, please, should be not take as an example as well, he is insane and not evil in my eyes. But what turns out to be evil is what villains are capable to do what real people in the real world would do, Johan Liebert is considered the most evil anime villains because he is the most close villain to the reality.

I read DAL and I found it very interesting, judging the series because of this villain is wrong. Mainly in the last chapter where Isaac finally got his ass kicked by his own friend in a real battle, what gives 1 point to him for leaving his throne and putting his hands in action.
