I took a break and now I'm back again! Here's what I'm looking for today: violent male lead, like how the mc of Arifureta was before he got most of the harem. I want him to not care terribly about murdering others, I don't want him to be a world savior. At least I don't want him to save the world on purpose. If he absolutely has to become a hero, I want it to be because someone pissed him off enough to do it. Like the demon king got in his way or stole artifact he wanted. Basically, I want a bloody, anti-hero novel that has been translated at least a decent amount. Lots of murder and gore. Little to no romance. No harem, please. If there has to be romance, just a 1v1. OP protag is a plus, but weak -> strong is okay. As always, thank you for all of your recs~
These are two that I have read and remembered them fitting most of the criteria, although there might be some differences: Kumo Desu ga, Nani Ka? Though the main character is female and starts off very weak, it doesn't have any romance and she doesn't really care for anyone else much because of her weak start. She eventually becomes very strong, though. The protagonist also could be counted as a "Villain" to the world, as well. Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint The main character cares a lot about his companions, but not as much towards others, though his morals are very much still righteous to a certain point without the expense of his companions. He is quite OP because of his knowledge and often goes against the whole world. The main character has no romance with others, although the author sometimes tease about it. He never aspires to save the world, only to reach is goal. This is a random suggestion that I felt was pretty good and should fit most of the criterias, though a bit loosely: Dominion's End
I can only think of "Slow Prison Life". Female psychopatic MC but no world saving and no romance, more like comedy...
I'll personally put a bookmark on Isaac, he has not done any 'blood and gore' stuff yet in his new life since he aims for personal peace and survival, but considering his life before he reincarnated... it'll probably be soon before someone poked his old side back into this new world... and I hope it's glorious.
Hmmm, maybe Harry Potter? The MC (Harry Potter lol) is a pretty dark and sociopath guy and it's about wizards and stuff.
Literally just get into Warhammer 40k , even the nicest higher upps have caused planetary genocide atleast once.
+1 You should try Classroom of the Elite aka Youkoso Jitsuryoku it already got recommended to u by this guy and I can definitely agree. The story is Psychological and Mind Game themed in a School. The MC doesn't care what methods he needs to use, winning is everything. Also there are females interested in him but oh well its definitely no romance and the MC has a pretty interesting way of thinking about his "Lovers/Friends/Allies". I can give u the tip never underestimate the MC. I can't say anymore about it cuz it would spoiler it a bit but its a really good Novel. It currently got 9 translated Volumes and also an Anime (Anime is also pretty good). The farther u get in the Novel the better it gets. And its a unique Read which I would definitely recommend.
it's an amazing quality novel and author stated that even if site takes his work down he will finish the story posting on his social media best evil MC novel you will find
