    Hey! Do you have recommendations for something similar to "The villain bought the female lead"? Like I want a selfish villain type main character. Do respond

      Selfish/actually villainous mcs are a bit rare. Some that come to mind are Regressor Instruction Manual, I am the fated villain, the villain who robbed the heroines, I'm not a regressor, and dungeon defense.

      @Dr99999 bro honestly same, I love those types of MC right now. Try 

      "There’s Absolutely No Problem With The Magic Cards I Made!" 

      Or

      "Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint"

    I am so glad I clicked on your account. I had no idea there was a part 3. If you can, you should also link this list on part 2.

    Thanks so much for the great recommendations!

    "The Stronger Their Opposition, the More I Know I Made the Right Choice"

    Only first 10 chapters were translated, but it's had me hooked. Really want more attention to it, as that may lead to more chapters getting translated. @cbboss
