When the protagonist is an unfaithful loser, do you have the urge to transmigrate into the novel to give him a good beating? If so, I present to you a list of novels I enjoyed with an overpowered male protagonist and no harem. Featuring:... more>>

- overpowered protagonist
- no harem, preferably no romance
- loner, antihero, or evil protagonist (not a guarantee) <<less

 What I want to list is just how an arc end with BE (Bad End) in BL QT novels. I do not promise if at the end of the novel it will be BE or HE.... more>>

This list has no particular order. Due to the fact that I love BE and a sucker at it when I read QT, I made this list. I enjoyed BE ending arc a lot because they gave me feels sometimes. But, that is to say not that I do not like HE but sometimes BE slaps me with reality, it seems. <<less

I've been faithfully reading webnovels (Chinese, Korean, and English) for 10+ years. The list is based on my taste mainly neutral evil to neutral good personality MC and decently paced novel with less fillers than the standard webnovel. Most of these novels are written by well-experienced authors. ... more>>

"Well-experienced" meaning he/she has written over 2000+ chapters of webnovel before the novel was created!

I don't like romance, especially harem in my action/adventure novels but I make an exception if the novel is really good.

Starting from tier Decent-, they are not in order because these novels are just "decent enough" to kill your time.

I would not recommend rank 1-15 if you are a newbie reader because it's gonna spike up your standards in webnovels.

If you think that the novel is worthy enough to be put in this list, then comment below. I'll check whether I've read it or not. <<less

ATTENTION!! This list only consist of chinese novels with Male Protagonist, and its sorted by rank, rating, readers, excellent reviews and a little bit of personal opinion! I can assure you that everything listed here are worth trying! ... more>>

*pay attention to the genres! don't blame me later :3

Last but not least, i would recommend you to read it on wuxiaworld / readlightnovels / webnovels due to its high-quality translation, quick updates & they have more chapters! Well then, enjoy! <3

PS. Chinese novels with Female Protagonist are listed in my recommendation list; "Best Chinese Webnovels FL" <<less

Just a humble list of my personal favorites. I'll make another list for A-tier Novels. I'll try to do a short review for each why... more>> they deserve to be in this list. <<less

Some quality novels i really enjoy.

Literally what it says.

Overlooked and underrated novels that are really unique in terms of either characters, world, story or even several at once and don't have glaring faults.... more>>

Lots of novels are interesting at first but are destroyed by either insufferable characters or a terrible story. Not these. And if you know others like them, PLEASE let me know!

Bad stories and characters are everywhere, good stories and characters are rare, but truly UNIQUE stories or characters are unforgettable and THAT is what I'm looking for after reading hundreds of titles.

People often complain that many novels' characters are flat and fixed. Well, here they are not just really well written, but grow and change over time.

No reincarnations into tr*shy young masters, no sect branches that have bigger branches behind them with sects behind them with bigger sects behind them, no fighting 10 ranks higher enemies because MC is so special, no repeating the same nonsense again and again for thousands of chapters, no all-knowing MC on a rail to the next key-item, no arranged marriages and no idiots to be killed by MC for a back and forth of revenge with family->sect->kingdom->world againd and again.

I've read many hundreds of the most popular titles and they won't make the list because of mentioned issues, or are new and I don't know of them yet.

I made a second list with titles that didn't make it because of flaws but are still a good read.

Ranked in terms of being well-rounded and polished. <<less

Rational MC, Knows when to sacrifice. Ruthless and decisive. 

I like these stories

No description.

I binge read most of them.... more>>

sorted by date first read. tags are “most of the novels” not “all of the novels” (just to have tags). <<less

The novels I like the most.... more>>

Features: male lead, smart, powerful (better if weak to powerful), prideful, sometimes selfish <<less

They're all platonic. Sadly. ... more>>

But BLIN if they're good.  <<less

I dislike ret*rds!!!!! Too much emotional mc is also a big no~~~~~~... more>>

Extremely kind mc is also meh... 

Lets be realistic everything is meh in front of benefit oriented mc.... But they are hard to find......

Ranking after first 3 is useless.  <<less

Where are my ghosts!? Where are my futuristic worlds!? Right here on this list!! I honestly love horror and sci-fi too much not to make a list with all my favourites in it~ Nothing beats a good game of body part tag or a Sci-fi doomsday/space exploration.  I really love the type of protagonist who sees a ghost and pretends that nothing has happened, or the type that wants to make friends with them. So essentially, even though I tagged smart protagonists, there are gonna be some dumbasses in here :P ... more>>

This list will contain:
- smart protagonists 
- Sci-fi worlds
- many ghosts
- no teenage angst syndrome *cough japan…wait what!?
- no harems
- some accidental yaoi (that contains horror...)

The top 10 are my current favourites and the list is kinda in order? But who knows.  <<less

Any story where the MC prefer to use his brain over his brawn to solve his problem. Or when the MC is facing overwhelmingly strong... more>> enemy, he can only use his cunningness to defeat the enemy  <<less

Well~ this my list of novel that i already read.....some good, some bad, some become good another become bad.  ... more>>

Note#: the rank in my list not according best to crappy or crappy to best... <<less

Here some of my favorite novels, i tend to like novel without romance, harem, ecchi, or tragedy tags. I also like stories with great side characters rather than just focusing solely on MC. So if you look for those harem seeking protag and usual face slapping novel then sorry~ this isn't for ya...... more>>

P.S (edit 12/21) i removed all novel with romance hints, enjoy~ <<less
