No Romance Novels, No Heroine/female lead novels, Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists, Neutral mc

Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists

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.

can't really say any genre or tag, you gotta read below to know about it as the book got edited

P.S: KH novel that you will find now is a re: Edited version with too many faults, so if you like a neutral novel then go for that, otherwise head to the novel update thread link i shared at the top of this page, and you will find KH novel link, the version which is not edited. - That version is an evil mc with no poison. Redited version is simply neutral mc with many faults. Book was reported by some reader, so author was forced to edit his novel from start, otherwise his book would have been deleted.

The story follows Uchiha Tunan, a member of the Uchiha clan from the Naruto world. His golden finger is that he inherits the skills of any person who dies as long as he gains their recognition/approval.

His inner character is neutral evil and indifferent. He has no true friends and considers himself the only one that matters. He doesn't care about who he needs to kill, everyone is the same in his eyes whether they are an evil mu*derer or an innocent little girl. He doesn't care about any human values such as family, reputation, justice, morality, romance, revenge, lust, pleasure, etc. He just uses these values as tools to progress himself, only looking to make the optimal decision. During many parts of the story it may seem like he is helping someone for the sake of good, but it is all calculated within his schemes.

As for the side characters, plot, and writing quality, they are all written very well. There are no two dimensional characters or annoying cliches. Every character feels fully fleshed out, the author does a great job with the way the MC manipulates everyone, and each scene is described very well.

At first I was hesitant on reading this novel because it is a Naruto fanfiction, but after reading it became one of my personal favourites. I never had any knowledge of the Naruto universe, but it was still easy to understand. If you like neutral evil and indifferent MCs, I recommend reading this as it is one of the very few that can be compared with Reverend Insanity.

I recommend using a word replacer to read this because it makes mtl much easier [ if you are reading it by mtl ] <<less

You should add Ouroboros Record. When it's about evil MC, it's clearly one of the greatest.

  This is the pre-edited version, so this is the one that I recommended in the list. The edited version is garbage ( for me, I couldn't even read it after 10 chapters). So if you are ok with MTL, go for this one.

Novel removed from the list due to exceeding the max limit:
Emperor of solo play - ok for newbies imo. Not a great novel, but readable if you are new to this genre.
Alomitsu - A good novel, if you are into the poison novels ig. Its written decently, so i thought at the very least i need to include this name, even if the novel is unredable for me at present.
Colossus Hunter- a decent novel for newbies imo.
Life Mission- Decent for newbies.

The Demon King’s World Invasion is a female protagonist, as revealed by the author's latest new updated cover and 200+ chapters reflecting hints about her gender in her life. So it might have to be removed from the list despite being a seriously good novel. I am almost caught up and there is ZERO romance and the novel is straight up all smoke between different world collisions/battles, def recommend, its a very dark novel with just death and desperation to survive from each god creators.

  @absenior19 I had to read it off munpia.com bro, and I had to use mm.munpia.com ( mobile version ) just to read it. It is a little weird to gain access into the site but you can just make an account w a gmail account. You do have to pay to read 25+ chapters of the novel, I tried booktoki but they dont have it yet. If you do download and use the mobile version brother it gets tricky they dont have google translation and i had to use a second phone with google translation in my screen to read.
