Novels where the main protagonist transmigrates (or something similar) into a villain, who may or may not reform and become a "good" guy.

Novels with mc as a villain

MC is the villain or related to the villain somehow (fiance, childhood friend, etc.)

Protags who DGAF. Whether that means they’ll cuss out their dad, or can torture someone without blinking an eye, these protags do what they want.

These are list of novels, i plan to read.... more>>

I will copy paste comment or info that i know about these, so when i come back, i can see that info and then decide which one to read first. These comments and info are not mine.But i will also add info on them, as i read the novels, and may even remove the original comment that i copy pasted, completely, if i started enjoying the novel.

As once i read a book, if i dislike it, i will leave a review directly and if i like it, same i will leave review. But will remove from my, To read List.

I enjoy ruthless mc with less romance/harem. <<less

Just a list consisting of characters who apply to at least one of the following tags as stated in list. Some characters will have all 5 of the applied tags, others only would have 1 tag at most. Some might only be ‘slightly’ cold or calm but still will be on this list, alas falling under the category. 

The story will consist of all types of novels like the typical Korean transmigration stories to the angsty danmei. All types, infinite flow, a deep slice of life I keep my word…
Currently updating so more stories will come on here, will try to find some hidden gems, I have been on this site for a while and have only just made an account so you will have to bare with me, as I try to find those stories I have read a long time back

Also would be very nice if anybody reading this recommended anymore stories to add onto this list as I have been desperately searching for actual decent stories with this tag. Surprisingly not many stories actually fulfil this tag successfully and I rather not add some derelict dull 2000+ novel with op mc, rather stories that will captivate your interest <<less

This is the supplementary list to my other Recommendation List- novelupdates.com/viewlist/69381/... more>>

This list is mainly for 2 types of novels,

First, for the novels that are already very popular and/or not a great fit for my previous list but i still wish to mention them somewhere. 

Or second, if they're certified brain rot that is simply so bad i don't even wish to promote it in my main list. But it'll still be here incase you want to subject yourselves to that torture. I leave the choice to you. Don't worry, if the novel is that bad, i'll say it upfront. <<less

The MC is male and happens to be the villain himself (usually by setting, sometimes choice) or allied to a villainess (by marriage, fiance, childhood friend). I'll provide a short description what i precisely like about that novel or its execution, or the points of criticism. No Yaoi.... more>>

All novels in this list have romance/ harem to quench your thirst (unless I say otherwise). Just having harem doesn't make it bad, only how it's written. 

MC refers to the Male MC, the one you are reading as, 'protagonist' refers to the classic 'hero' of the 'original' story. I'll also include till what chapter i've read the novel, sometimes the novels improve as you progress but 99% of the times tr*sh stays tr*sh.

Do feel free to recommend novels in the comments, i'll add them after reading.

Note: if i run out of space i'll consider removing some novels to try and spotlight the newer/ up-and-coming novels instead. If i do so i'll state it here.

Update: i have made that supplementary list. It's here- novelupdates.com/viewlist/71758/ <<less

Murim-related novels with a cold, smart MC and interesting side characters. And a deep plot.

Absolutely no Romance whatsoever, especially harem. Ugh, Ew. Just pure action, fantasy, and lots of accumulating power to become stronger.... more>>

Stories that make you do a double take[Ordered]

All the High-to-God Tier Novels where the MC is pursuing immortality or invincibility at all costs and is willing to do anything to achieve it.... more>> These MCs aren't bound by typical novel stereotypes as their moral compass is very faint so you will seem them act in unconventional ways. I have at least 100 I can add here but I've aimed to be consistent with the title and only include the best of the best here! Most of these characters are not in romantic relationships and if they are, it's mainly for personal benefit and they don't allow it to hold them back or be used against them. If needed, they will throw them at the enemy and run away. <<less
