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.

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.

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.
Btw i still wanna give it a try if possible, can you tell me where can i read it?
If its some thing you cant say in open, just dm me, if possible.
Or well i will dm you. Thx
Adaptation as in manhua and manhwa??
i doubt tbh. Especially if you are actually expecting him to be pragmatic and selfish.
Still, here are some with poisons:
Manhwa/Manhua:
Dungeon Defense , Past Life Returner, Kill the Hero, Second Life Ranker, Main Character Hides His Strength, Sovereign of Judgment, Rooftop Sword Master, I Came Back And Conquered It All, Kill the Dragon, The Nebula’s Civilization, I’m Really Not The Demon God’s Lackey, Reincarnator, Myst, Might, Mayhem, Leveling with the Gods, A Knight Who Eternally Regresses, I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game
Manhwa/Manhua ( not my type ):
Youjo Senki, Overlord, Lord of the Mysteries, Reaper of the Drifting Moon ( Not my type, but they do fall under the category you asked for, thats why posted )
Thats all for now. If you want manhwa, then you can chk out my thread on novelupdate thread site. You'll be able to find it easily in the Manga section.
