After the first place, the order is considered random

I will start documenting my observations about it. They may not be accurate due to the long time that has passed since I read novels years ago. Nevertheless, they serve as a summary of my experience with them. I might attempt to organize them from best to least preferred as well.

All the High-to-God Tier Novels where the MC is pursuing immortality or invincibility at all costs and is willing to do anything to achieve it.... more>> These MCs aren't bound by typical novel stereotypes as their moral compass is very faint so you will seem them act in unconventional ways. I have at least 100 I can add here but I've aimed to be consistent with the title and only include the best of the best here! Most of these characters are not in romantic relationships and if they are, it's mainly for personal benefit and they don't allow it to hold them back or be used against them. If needed, they will throw them at the enemy and run away. <<less

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

A list of novels I like so I don't forget. Not in order. I try to not make this similar to FIEND's and other people's list but there aren't that many decent ones with no romance y'know. ... more>>

Book list, novels where the main characters are completely bad and ruthless (I don't want mc that justifies h24 why they do bad things but just mc that assumes and have no moral or human conscience).... more>>

No romance, to add a new book in my list of books mc need to enter in one of this 3 categories.

If the novel have romance I wil say it, not much author write full evil mc.

Absolute Neutral : Absolute neutral has two definitions : a person who is not inclined to commit wrong doing but who if need be does not hesitate to get his hands dirty after all profits is above all selfishness comes first. Second, he has no emotions he is ruthless no desire only the most rational and mechanical thought.

Neutral Evil : Neutral Evil, he will be very prone to do evils but which must benefit him in some way and will never think emotionally but rationally. Killing people for betterment ect.... have no regrets about the harm done even if the people are innocent.

Chaotic Evil : Chaotic Evil, simple and precise, he commits immoral acts for no reason and has no moral boundaries or conscience, he shamelessly spits on them, he just wants to do evil without reason and commit unparalleled atrocities only for his perverse pleasure.

Don't hesitate to recommend books that I didn't added.

Common POints-MC with : [ Or ] < System > < Unique Power > < Cold and Calm Character > < Rebirth > < Apocalypse > < Comedy > < Fan-fiction > < Solo > < Cheat > < Killer >.... more>>

I like novels in which upper mentioned things are there (anyone). But, MC should not share his powers with others and form an Adventure Party or so. Reality doesn't work like that.

I don't want MC to share his unique cheat or system power with others.

[ Just think if everyone can become iron man, then MC is no longer unique but instead too common. And in a fantasy world if you are not unique then do you think one day you can become strongest or God or something. Then no. Giving my system to others. WTF? Why not become a side character instead and help MC to become strong ( like a stepping stone ).]

MC who are high over heels behind girls, I don't like.

If MC is not unique, then alright. But, he should at least have a strong mentality or great ambition. Not like I want to live a happy life but instead, I want to become strongest, WHY? Go ask Goku why? No need to have a reason for this, right.

It's like why you want to be rich?

I don't like MC who is too kind and childish and author show it as it is best and noble and good.

Even many RAWS link is also here which are on-site such as [ Uukanshu ] a Chinese site. <<less
