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

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.

No rankings! All random order... more>>

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

Characters who have self-serving personalities or tendencies, and may or may not show it in interactions, actions, emotions, intent, and thoughts. Or just that the character has a willingness to do things that aren't compatible with our modern and diverse views regarding morals, ethics, principles, and ideals of good. Of course these books have different tones and also handling of this subject.... more>>

The list was created with much subjectivity, as I won't put protagonists whose good qualities overshadows all their impactful grey actions and evil actions, which is important to me regardless of whether they are truly good or evil. -> Different examples of who I won't include are Song Shuhang (kindness), Klein Moretti (principles and heroic actions), Kim Dokja (altruism), and Chen Ge (goodwill and generosity).

Work in progress. Of course I have read these, I will simply state if I did not. Most are good novels but I will add some non-favorites, which is purely my opinion because I have a personal standard of quality.

UNRANKED

Let me not bother about my face and recommend my list for top quality novels I've enjoyed:  https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16488/ <<less

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

There some not bad novels without isekai,self wishfulfilment and big plotholes.

I feel really bad when I start reading a good novel thinking that it's quite good and doesn't have useless & annoying harem  it turns... more>> out to be one. It's seriously annoying. This list contains novels which aren't harem . Mc have only one wife/gf or none at all. Let's start( uh..... I'm quite new to nu so don't mind my listing style & they aren't in order) <<less

The Best and most Entertaining CN Novels.... more>>

The kind of novels I HATE  :

1. No Romance

2. Slow paced plot

3. Lots of unwanted useless info which ruins reading experience.

4. Bland plot (Novels which fail to stir any emotion. Which feels like reading textbooks instead of Novels. Lol)

5. Lack of character interactions and a lot of forgotten characters.

6. I mostly hate Game settings (except one novel)

So these wont be there in my list

Above 40 will be extras which don't fit in the list <<less

Doesn't necessarily make the story bad, though it never makes the story better (unless that's the kind of jerk you need...) <<less

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

I am really sick of ml who are dominant and cold faced. Even if the fl is strong, the ml will always be step ahead of her. Sometimes even if the female lead can take care of herself in some situations, the ml will always eager to pamper her and solve her promblems saying that it's his responsibility which sometimes really annoying.... more>>

If there are any other novels like this pls recommend.

Here are some novels where the female lead is dominant and can take care of herself and her man. <<less

Shadow s*ave - Really unique system and story. - S

Mother of Learning - Classic Novel .Time Loop and Magic - S+. One of the Best

Stories I have or will read that contain an Evil Main character or a character similar or within the evil theme(None of these are in... more>> order). Also feel free to recommend or give your own review of a story in the comment section. <<less

Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists... more>>

More info on what i am searching: (The title may not be entirely accurate.)

Evil mc ( someone who do not care about other people, and can do anything for his goals )

Ruthless mc ( someone who do not hesitate to kill )

Neutral mc ( Neither a good person, nor a bad person, But care more about his own 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.

Since i have used all these tags, then the novel i will recommend can be any one them or maybe mix of a few or all. I will leave some info in most of em, so you can know which one it is. If i just go to search books that are no romance or such tags, i can get too many books, but in this list i will recommend only what i know or what i have read or think is unique.

Book lists order might be messed up as i continue adding book, and even then order will be based on my personal liking, so treat it as non-existent and read the one you like more.
