Order of the novels in the list is according to my personal opinion and preferences. 

please tell me in the comments if you have a recommendation. <<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

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

Life’s hard, man. In this rec, you’ll find novels with characters that move forward from their tragic past and from societal standards, characters that find a way to live for themselves despite a system, plot, entity, or life from preventing them to do so. ... more>>

This list includes strong, courageous characters that disobey the system, original plot line, and fate through the ability to think and desire to choose their own happy ending. From world hopping to transmigration novels, these characters have dignity, grit, and values - both of which they are not willing to break regardless of what a system or entity says. 

-  includes transmigration novels where the characters struggles, suffers, or is punished for disobeying the original plot line; and characters who are able to fight the charms and effects of their own system and other people’s systems

- includes characters with grit and defiance to fate: characters that have been reborn or transmigrated way too many times, characters in game and different worlds that are trying to survive and find their own happy ending, despite the plot and other characters preventing them from doing so

- includes characters who portray growth; includes characters who are able to make peace with their past and move forward and find their own happiness <<less

- If MC isn't a goner, ML surely is lololol these types are the most entertaining. 

P.s: There's this one novel called "QT: Is It Better to be a Beta?" (beta as the beta reader), it's f*cking great, check it out on webnovel. <<less

>mosty level headed, ruthless MCs <<less

Common POints-MC with : [ Or ] < System > < Unique Power > < Cold and Calm Character > < Rebirth > < Apocalypse > < Comedy > < Fan-fiction > < Solo > < Cheat > < Killer >.... more>>

I like novels in which upper mentioned things are there (anyone). But, MC should not share his powers with others and form an Adventure Party or so. Reality doesn't work like that.

I don't want MC to share his unique cheat or system power with others.

[ Just think if everyone can become iron man, then MC is no longer unique but instead too common. And in a fantasy world if you are not unique then do you think one day you can become strongest or God or something. Then no. Giving my system to others. WTF? Why not become a side character instead and help MC to become strong ( like a stepping stone ).]

MC who are high over heels behind girls, I don't like.

If MC is not unique, then alright. But, he should at least have a strong mentality or great ambition. Not like I want to live a happy life but instead, I want to become strongest, WHY? Go ask Goku why? No need to have a reason for this, right.

It's like why you want to be rich?

I don't like MC who is too kind and childish and author show it as it is best and noble and good.

Even many RAWS link is also here which are on-site such as [ Uukanshu ] a Chinese site. <<less

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

The list of novel that I put here, is what I consider the best of the best. (For me personally) And just hits the sweet spot. Not too much and not too little. 

So, enjoy! 

P.S: I also noticed that all of the novel bellow have a reincarnated/reborn/transmigration elements. Just to let you all know!   <<less

little to no romance

RANKING IS DEAD. It's too annoying to rank these novels because they all have their good points. :) <<less

No description.

Our lovely protagonists giving some divine karma back to the green tea b*tches, white lotuses, and haters in their lives ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡... more>>

genres: isekai, second lifers, transmigration, reincarnation, or regression.

romance is generally a secondary/subplot point to the revenge/face slapping plot

generally shoujo, sometimes shounen

most are originally completed or completely TL'd <<less

The web novels in this list are not ranked.  I look for in protagonists these characteristics:... more>>

Ambitious//Ruthless/Intelligent.

I too favour Kingdom building novels.

Also in this list, I only included novels that I read somewhat or finished. <<less

List is not in order. If you want to laugh, i also recommend Sun Knight and Cultivation Chat Group.... more>>

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

Feral, Main, characters.... more>>

If there was a "Crazy protagonist" tag, it would be used for this list. So I'll have to just use the closest tags I find.

I would not be surprised if any of these protagonists decided to bite someone's ear off.

Granted there would be a reason for this action, but they would feel no remorse after said biting.

The novels are in no particular order. <<less
