    Hi, I'm in the mood for some novels/anime/manga/etc. that has the MC in an evil/secret organization with the story mainly focusing on it. It can be any genre as long as you think the story is good and the translation is still active (or if the translator is good at notifying hiatus' and not just MIA all the time). Preferably, it would be nice if the MC's friend(s) are in the opposing organization but it doesn't have to fit this criteria.
    Things I've read/seen (since I don't have a full-fledged reading/watching list):
    Novel examples:
    - Ototsukai wa Shi to Odoru
    - The Absolute Evil For My Hero
    - To Be a Power in The Shadows
    - The Evil Organization Recruitment Ad
    - There Was No Secret Organization to Fight with the World’s Darkness so I Made One (In Exasperation)
    - Overlord
    some anime and manga examples:
    - Darker than Black
    - Kekkai Sensen
    - Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda
    - Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai
    - Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
    - Ratman
    - The Magical Girl and Evil Officer
    - Zannen Jokanbu Black General-san
    - Young Gun Carnaval
    - Until Death Do Us Part (I guess)
    - Akame ga Kill!
    - Triage X
    - The Unlimited: Hyoubu Kyousuke
    - D.Gray-Man
    - Jackals
    - Black Cat

    Baito Saki wa "Aku no Soshiki"?! Such a good manga :blobmelt:

    The novel apparently has more vols., but it got dropped/discontinued(?). At least, the manga ends on a sweet note.

    Probably atleast a few CN cultivation novels where they're in a faction that's considered somewhat evil, but MCs very rarely tend to stay in factions forever
    That one where the MC and his... assistant are sent to another world by their faction (has 3 buxom female superiors). Both manga & novel

    Don't know if I should reply using quotes or just name mentions.

    @susaka Sorry I've already seen it, but thank you anyways! :D and ye, Code Geass is really good.
    @otaku31 Thank you, I'll check it out!
    @Robbini Thank you! I'll try it out. For the one with the assistant are you thinking of Combatants Will be Dispatched?
    @Shirubame Oh ye, I was looking at that one for a while. I'll try reading it soon, thank you!
    @Kalto Sorry, I've seen most of them but I'll try out Bungou Stray Dogs. I read the manga but dropped it for some reason, I'll try reading it again, thanks!

    Tower of God, you have to read it on webtoon though. It's a good one.

    I can't remember anything that heavily focuses on this aspect, but "The Breaker" and "Devils Line" had some of that in them iirc.
    In my opinion, it is worth to give them a try even if it is not what you are looking for at the moment. Especially The Breaker, I recommend it to nearly everyone.

    @moeforsushi Sorry, I've already read The Breaker (it was really good) and Devils Line (which I think I dropped). If you think Devils Line is good I'll try giving it a go again. Thanks!

    Psyren kinda has a secret organization? Won’t say anything more about it or else I might spoil.
    Bokura no Kiseki too.
    Record of Fallen Vampire maybe? Mc is “main antagonist”.
    Freak’s Squeele is a French comic but it’s really good and is inspired by manga so I think it counts.
    Immortal Hounds is really good but idk about the update status I haven’t checked in a long time.

    Lol.
    Clicked here thinking "let me just tell this newbie about the two good stories I've heard of in this genre."
    *Sees the original poster's list, with the two stories I was going to suggest, plus a bunch I haven't even heard of*
    ...
    Forgive me, for I had eyes but did not recognize Mt. Tai.

    @Catbell Try Kimi wa 008 (from the mangaka of HSDK). It's okayish(?)

    Also, Mighty Heart(manga). The ML and FL belong to opposing factions.

    Both hv a lot of fanservice, tho.
