I really like power fantasies, and have specially fallen in love with the world-hopping genre. I don't enjoy romance in books or female authors, and JP and KR novels are cringe (Moonlight Scultor was fun back when i just started reading, though).

All books here have atleast a few hundred chapters translated. Please leave any recommendations in the comments. <<less

I've read novels over the years, and I guarantee you won't regret diving into them.... more>>

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.

My favorite cultivation/magic novels. romance usually is pretty late or as a subplot.... more>>

The ones with male MC have no harem.

The ones with female MC are ACTUALLY READABLE.
--> there is no specific order in the rankings (Although I tried to put some general order as much as possible)  <-- <<less

A lot of good dog blood is buried below the ratings bcos it's an unfortunate fact that a lot of NU users only rate novels according to fluff amount w/c made it harder for drama fans to look for good angst.  Common tropes: #wife/husband-chasing crematorium#angst #drama #torture #regret #character development #grovelling #(some)redemption  #(some)tragedy and other triggering issues. ... more>>

#REAL Crematorium. Just search around for full explanation but impt. point is: THEY ENDED UP WITH ANOTHER PERSON. For those who had a sadistic liking seeing a scum ML grovelling but still fail to take MC back, THIS IS FOR YOU.

 Warning: Most stories here are only for the strong-hearted. However, those I regard as "bad (or messily-written) dog blood" that I really cannot tolerate will not be included here  

I will indicate if it's bad ending. If it doesn't have the #BE tag, it's automatically a happy ending.
If you wanted to cleanse your tear duct every now and then, check the ones tagged with #tearjerker. You're welcome.

Looks like you've coincidentally stumbled upon this list. Not into Yaoi? (I'm into Yuri) How about Smut? Oh, not h**ny I guess. Maybe the colossal... more>> amount of CN novels is not up to your taste. Well either way, heres the sh*t I signed up for. Good luck! <<less

Simply put, novels with a protagonist that shows distinct moments of apathy towards certain moments, the situation they are found in or people.... more>>

Granted, it's deserved apathy.

The novels are in no particular order. <<less

90%read. They are here 'cause I found the synopsis angsty or some chapters in the novels i've read made me cry and sad. Anyway sadness is there.... more>>

Includes: psychological, tragedy, abuse, unrequited love, depression, complex family relations, hated protagonist, child abuse, sickly characters, i-love-you-and-so-if-you-use-me-i-don't-mind type, etc... among others

Most of then are really short (<100) and though many of them have tragedy, many have happy endings too.  <<less

Well, the apathetic, ruthless and evil protagonists are very charismatic, so I will make a list with protagonists that will give you a different flavor !!... more>>

Also the list is not made up of any novel with those labels, obviously they have to be the most outstanding !!

Some may not seem at first like this, but thanks to an excellent character development we can enjoy these protagonists.

I will put novels of more than 1000 chapters or that are complete.
This list has neither better nor worse, judge according to your criteria. <<less

Not ranked in any particular order. Leads that make you root for evil

Novels that I would pay to forget! These are not recommendations but a warning

with the male leads just cause they are called a villain in the blurb or by others- they don't actually seem like villains or the author skims over it and doesn't  write much... more>>

 so I wanted to dedicate this list partly to those EVIL ML's who are involved with killing a lot, borderline mad, are constantly doing bad things and there's is a bit more description of such things

Usually you can see this where the male lead is sometimes genuinely mean to the MC and we see MC struggle being around them
also I'm including torture, cruelty, or just kinda both are evil lets-take-over-the-world-together kind of romances 

lets burn in hell together .... <<less

This is my personal top picks. If you can get the gist my taste through this list, please feel free to comment down below some of your recommendations too! Thank you and Happy reading!... more>>

What constitutes a good story for me?

PLOT. It must not stray away from its intended plot. No unrelevant arcs just for the sake of DRAGGING the story. THERE MUST BE SUBSTANCE. 

As much as possible, NO RUSH ENDING. The conclusion is the most important. If the story ended with some questions unresolve, the story is a failure. Open endings are acceptable, since it is closest to reality you can get. 

CHARACTER GROWTH. I believe it's one of the essential part of the story. I can stomach s*upid and naive characters, ONLY, if they showed character development along the way. 

LOGIC. No one wants to proceed on reading if they couldn't understand nor make sense out of anything. I'm willing to make an exceptions for WORLD-BUILDING. But there's what you call an out-of-this-world logic and an out-of-this-world s*upidity. The former I can accept, the latter, thanks but no thanks.

ENJOYMENT FACTOR. A STORY MUST EVOKE EMOTIONS OUT OF ME. If I couldn't feel anything while reading, then the writer failed to connect to their readers. Even if the genre isn't my cup of tea, it should be able to convince me otherwise. That's what it means by a good writing.

Thank you. (This list is subject to change) <<less

Just as the title says. Just my personal favorites novels in the order that I love.

Stories I’d keep a hard copy of//would re read several times. Genuinely good pieces for multiple reasons. 

WARNING: ONCE YOU FINISH THESE NOVELS YOU WILL BE IN DEPRESSION!!!... more>>

The list is super short since i don't cry easily or get super attached to many characters.

(after reading these i cry everytime i see something related to them and obsessed with anything related) <<less
