I have decided to makes this list in order to celebrate reaching 150 completed and 400 read novels marks. ... more>>

I don't read/like yaoi, yuri, female protagonist or shoujo novels, so there won't be any on this list. 

In order for a novel to appear here, it must meet the following requirements:

1 - At the very least, I must be up to date with translations. However, in most cases I am up to date with raws or have completed it.

2 - List will only include those novels with an actual plot, MCs who actually work hard and power systems which have something unique about them, because  I am not a fan of novels with dumb MCs with massive luck, who don't have to struggle, collects girls like pokemon, absolutely generic power systems and 0 plot.
NOTE: This does not mean that there won't be harem novels on the list at all. It means that if a harem novel appears, it is because it is that good.

For those novels, which came close but did not manage to enter the list, I made another list :)

Interesting novels with assassin٫thief or rouge protagonist.

All of the female leads in this list are cool, cold and ruthless 

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

Best action adventure novels with ruthless MC with little almost nothing romance

Although i m not the person who has read all the novels i most certainly consider my self as one the crazy novel readers.... more>>

One of my favorite types are where you get to see the reactions of other people based of the mc's action and i thats the really fun part and probably the sole reason why "underestimated tag" is famous.

My list belongs to the type of novel I read and Let me tell you what you won't/will Find here

1. Bull sh*t about Friendship Spirit and love which makes me puke out of cringe.

2. Novels which people disregard based on things like "this doesn't make sense how can there be magic and modern day" 

3. Novels which people disregard saying" the explanations are too much" which you can skip with enough intelligence and some other dumb shit. 

4. Novels where the MC gets lucky at every single step one after another like a who*e who succu....*chough* *cough*..... You get it.

5. Novels which are worth read and you will be spending time on them and the novel with too few chapters wont be there or if they are then you can be sure that the mtl is readable and its available on lnmtl

5 Make sure to know the novels won't have all the tags but most probably atleast one.

6. Looking for Male protagonist novels doesn't mean im a sexist

Enjoy

This is not in order...

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
