Goated MCs - no harem - male protagonist

You know what? I don’t care! No one is going to read this so why am I writing anything here

Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists... more>>

More info on what I am searching: (The title may not be entirely accurate.)

Evil mc ( someone who does not care about other people, and can do anything for his goals )

Ruthless MC ( someone who does not hesitate to kill )

Neutral mc ( Neither a good person, nor a bad person, But cares more about his profits, Rational-Pragmatic type of route )

No Romance ( For this one, I also mean, less romance or none maybe, as well. No romance and no female lead are different. )

No Heroine (I will use this word for those novels where there is no female lead. ) This is a word you find usually in mtl.

Sharing a Discord Invite Code, For Evil MC novels, But only MTL. Discord invite: cjzakPE7Nd

P.S.: My reviews might be rough sometimes, but they're my honest thoughts. I wouldn't share a novel here if I didn't think there was something worthwhile. Use them as a guide and decide for yourself. Treat each novel like a Poison Test. Enjoy your reading!

P.S: I also added some novels which I enjoyed a long time back, Still I will not write in them that this novel is neutral or rational-pragmatic or so on. So if you see a novel without any review, you can expect it to be poison. Ofc poison means, Veterans may not like them. As for newbies, no idea. You gotta try to know. <<less

This list is specifically for second chances/age regression in fantasy, historical or VRMMO settings. 
- Not transmigration stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/16246/)
- Not time loop stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/10681/)
- Not second chances in modern society (see:  https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/10745/)... more>>

I'll start with a big recommendation for:
1. Metaworld chronicles - wonderful series with well developed characters, magic, monsters and dragons, all set to a really well explored alternate modern Earth fuelled by magi-tech. It's the best in the genre and you should try it out!
2. Selena's Reign - only around 20 chapters out so far, but they're really well done. Beautiful descriptions (though sometimes a bit verbose) and the best depictions of a late 18th century setting that I've seen in an online fantasy. Read this for the magical second chance messiah in a gritty, Louis XIV->Napoleon type time frame world.
3. The Calamity of a Reborn Witch - more of a shoujo take on things, it's filled with political plots and conspiracies of a cinderella type heroine in a rather dark fantasy world
4. Forgotten Conqueror (this was on hiatus for a long time but restarted on the author's site) <<less
