Unpopular opinion: I like novels with less than 1000 chapters.  Since I couldn't find a reading list for this, I decided to create one. ... more>>

A mix of gems and stones. Most of them don't have harem <<less

No description.

These are list of novels, i plan to read.... more>>

I will copy paste comment or info that i know about these, so when i come back, i can see that info and then decide which one to read first. These comments and info are not mine.But i will also add info on them, as i read the novels, and may even remove the original comment that i copy pasted, completely, if i started enjoying the novel.

As once i read a book, if i dislike it, i will leave a review directly and if i like it, same i will leave review. But will remove from my, To read List.

I enjoy ruthless mc with less romance/harem. <<less

Part 2 of my endless search for halfway decent KR novels. This list is filled with random novels that won't finish translating until my future mortgage is paid off. <<less

Stories where a single MC (or the protagonist stands out and is the focus) who struggles, travels, explore and maybe fights in a fantasy world (detailed and solid). The world will definitely suck you in. ... more>>

The ranking doesn't specifically correlate to its quality, each and every novel in this list kept me awake through the night.

These novels made me into an addict so beware!

I have read a considerable number of chapters of each novel even if not all. 

I have a very specific intolerance, so all the novels would have high ratings. <<less

evil mc, not in any order

Stories I have or will read that contain an Evil Main character or a character similar or within the evil theme(None of these are in order). Also feel free to recommend or give your own review of a story in the comment section.... more>>

UPDATED as of 9/5/25 <<less

Chinese novel I’ve read and liked

No description.

Mostly evil or neutral main characters.... more>>

Stuff not on the site:

- How to Raise Your Regressor.

- Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon; protagonist is abducted and forced into perpetual VR, like Sword Art Online, to be tortured by the highest bidder. This book is basically torture p*rn.

- Dungeon Crawler Carl; aliens invade Earth, killing billions in the process, and force the survivors to fight in an intergalactic game show. Lots of dark humor.

- Life of a Villain in The Naruto World; protagonist is transmigrated as a branch member of the hyuga, then spends the entire series trying to free himself from what is essentially s*avery. He's not really evil, as that would imply senseless slaughter, but often kills innocents to get closer to reaching his goals.

- A Gamer's Guide to Beating the Tutorial; a European retelling of "The
Tutorial is Too Hard" without all the political crap and the most
monsterous protagonist I've ever read. <<less

This list is full of novels that I find incredibly interesting ranging from a variety of genres, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have! I’ll be adding more as I go, so feel free to join me on this journey.... more>>

P.S. The novels aren’t listed in any particular order – it’s all about what catches your interest! <<less

In no particular order!

Novels of every genre.... more>>

Just novels that peek my interest

no order <<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

...

All kinds of male MC (good and evil), all kinds of genres (fantasy, scifi, SoL, xianxia, xuanhuan).... more>>

Some might have late romance I haven't read yet. <<less

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.

Typical fantasy/second-chance usually. Was mostly KR, but I start reading more CN stuff. Rarely read romance-centric novels. Don't like specifically harems usu.... more>>

No description=TBD. Review-ish comments. May be slight spoilers but never something like xx dies. Most of the stuff I like/recommend are on the first page. I started getting lazy with updating rankings though.

List includes basically everything I've read before.

Other novels:

Birth of the Demonic Sword (C641)Good for like first 500-600 chapters. After there's a couple time skips, which I don't mind but events also just feel filler/boring. Also kind of feels a bit like a Reverend Insanity rip-off. MC has parts different enough but there's not enough meaningful character interactions (esp. later on)/inner monologue (for philosophical stuff) imo.

Author's POV - 4.5/5; C646; Good series inspired by Novel's Extra. Romance is handled much better imo.

Shadow s*ave- 2/5; Finished Vol 2. Vol1 was good. Vol2 felt like MC only ever interacted with the other MC and the side characters sort of just followed the party along without interacting/much presence. Also just didn't like the logic of vol2 so dropped.

Cultivation Online -3/5; C560; Enjoyable for 3/5 but the MC sort of just keeps levelling up without any impending threat so it feels kind of boring after the initial mystery of the world is lost.

I've reached the list cap so I might start tracking my reading list elsewhere. <<less

No romance or very little romance.
