    Now before you tell me to search tags of antihero pro, I found many novels with trash MC claiming to be an Antihero
    The MC should:
    - Be logical and practical and his actions must have a plausible reason
    - Not be fazed by attractive women( I meant that he doesn't turn all nervous and can't form a proper sentence in front of her)
    - Not be idealistic
    - Not trust anyone easily
    - Have a backbone
    - Not a scumbag or douche( I mean like killing innocent children and raping)
    - Doesn't spare his enemies

    Here is my reading list so please don't recommend me something I already am reading:

    Aim the Deepest Part of the Different World Labyrinth (LN)
    Because I’m a Weapon Shop Uncle
    Everyone Else is a Returnee
    Goblin Slayer
    Hail the King
    I am the Monarch
    Main Character Hides His Strength
    Max Level Newbie
    Monster no Goshujin-sama
    My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending
    Nidome no Yuusha
    The Dark King
    The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
    The Dungeon Seeker
    The King of the Battlefield
    Loner Harem Meister
    The Lazy Swordmaster
    White Wolves
    Warlock of the Magus World

    I read Artifue but reached a point where it just became a cliche harem

    Dungeon Defense didn't really suit me
    The first part was great but then it went down and found some of the MC's logic is flawed and also the relationship between him and the heroine is too weird for me

    I am usually hesitant to read Xian Ni because usually in these novels, the MC finds some treasure that makes him OP as hell then he offends someone then he trains and then shocks everybody how strong he is, amd then he offends someone/ and it is usually full of petty villians

    Demon's Diary
    A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality
    Wang Yu's mcs are pretty realistic , always alert and not really OP.
    Tho they are no héroes or villians.
    That doesn't sound like Xian Ni . Of course it has some of those tropes but not to an annoying level. It' s way darker than those face smacking chinese novel.
