villainous/slightly evil protagonist (mostly BL romance)
Either actually kind of evil or reborn into the role of a villain/foil, no actual all out bad guys (or if they are the novel itself is comedic and/or able to be taken lightly), IF YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE MESSAGE ME, even you guys think of books or manga not listed on NU .... This is my favorite character type/genre and I can't get enough QAQ ; in the comments I started listing some series I found not on NU, putting everything together for personal reference, maybe it will help you find some good stories too ☺️

Scummy (bit villainous) mc tries to reform himself after being reborn into his past; modern comedy business BL setting, story is about healing; mc is basically a genius (mostly sex) addict who threw his life away, this time he learns to value himself and the ml; the side characters and little off tangent stories are AMAZING 5*

Web novels found on other sites with same criteria (no particular order).....
1) Quick Transmigration: Is it Better to be a Beta? - rating 2.5-3*
Author: Little Blue Lake
MC is Villainous, fun, psychotic, self serving, flirty and thirsty; BL QT romantic dark comedy, lots of fun banter with his poor system; downside is the characters feel a a little flat WARNING THIS ONE GETS GRAPHIC WITH ABUSE and the MC gets real dark; reading this really feels like a spiral into insanity, it wasn't for me but if you can get past that kind of stuff i still recommend giving it a try because there is something cool and unique here
arc 1 is fun cooking theme, arc 2 is twisted ghost revenge theme, WARNING second arc goes a little overboard dark in my opinion, graphic and gross depictions of torture by mc has to drop around ch 41

Sorry those happen to be some of my favorite genres and accidentally took over the list
,
some really good ones I recommend that aren't romance are tr*sh of the Count’s Family and I’m Really Not The Demon God’s Lackey
BG ones that i really liked are The Villainess Won’t Let the Main Leads Break Up! And Ostentatious Zhao Yao (I'm not very far into this one yet but so far seems good)
If you have any suggestions that fit the list description please message me and I'll check them out,
