The girl was the one who cooked his leg though.

I don't know why, but I really hate people who use this word. Are all main characters who don't cry 24/7 edgy? Can you expand on the type of character they are more? Are they more villain-like than hero like? Anti-Hero like?

You can be a villain without being edgy

Edgy is basically villainous, but also melodramatic, with a predilection for manic depressive hyper emotion

An edgelord can be fun if executed well, like the main character from Ice or even GCU Grey Area. Unfortunately, you can barely trust most mangaka to write a plot to a mario game, much less something as delicate as this.

edgy
Used to describe something that is excessively dark, often to a point where it's overbearingly depressive nature could be considered humorous.

In anime/manga, that seems to mean a few common traits :

-Character's backstory has most/all of the people he cares about killed by villains who kick puppies for fun

-Character was surrounded and tormented by a cast of villains that kick puppies for fun or are clearly self inserts for the author's bullies

-Ridiculous plotlines that just make you laugh "my best friend/relatives set me up to be raped", "I was summoned and betrayed by a princess after saving the world", "The girl I loved sacrificed me to run away with another man", etc....

Which is then used to justify the MC turning into an "edgy" character that hates everyone, wants to destroy everything, etc, and conveniently, most/all of the characters in the series are over the top evil and am just evil for the sake of being evil, so the MC raping the evil princess is totally okay because she was evil.

The incel self-insert.

Depends on how it's handled
