So, ya I want some recommendations of novels like Arifuerta. But only like the first arc. The MC betrayed/trapped and search for revenge and gets evil, and maintains the evilness
The following all have semi-antihero protagonists. YMMV I don't care for the full-blown evil MC's, so can't help you if that's the tickle you're looking for. Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite Kou Natta Boku wa Isekai de Fuyo Mahou to Shoukan Mahou wo Tenbin ni Kakeru Forgotten Conqueror Great Demon King I Kinda Came to Another World, but Where’s the Way Home Law of the Devil Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei Otherworldly Evil Monarch Warlock of the Magus World Wicked Soldier King
Those who aspired to become gods. This badass story is kind of a mix between Arifureta x ReMonster x Shield Hero. But way more emotional and with badass side characters and multiple POVs to watch the OP mc in all his rage and glory. Superrrrrrr long chapters like 30-40k words which is like 10 of any other chapter. And even though the mc is Op. In this new arc you find just how big the world is and he's definitely not the only one. Lol and your welcome for all the long sleepless hours it'll take you to read this.
Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi Defiled Hero Ultimate Antihero there's more i know but forgot the title
though the most similar to Arifureta in the 1st arc is suterareta (the forsaken hero). not 'most' but awfully similar. enjoy your binge reading~
Tone wise http://www.novelupdates.com/series/to-deprive-a-deprived-person/ MC keeps getting tricked so the MC strikes back to protect his loved ones.
http://www.novelupdates.com/series/katahane-no-riku/ Female MC, who was originally supposed to be a game MC's harem member, is betrayed and defects to the demons. She's out for the blood of those who betrayed her, the hero, the hero's other harem members, and well... humans in general.
