General: Can be BL/BG/GL Romance has to make sense in terms of setting, chemistry and plot. I normally come across romance in the genre of "action", often having a token significant other with no actual purpose; please avoid that. Exclude crack or comedy focused novels if possible Plus points but not exclusive to: No Romance or Romantic Vibes Aristocracy Politics MC being evil with no sob story Moral Naivety being ruined Psychological Trauma Selfish/Cunning MC Female-Male Platonic Friendships Slice of Life(¿?) Hard No: Harem Rape Victim Turned Lover or Rape being Glorified Sexism or Racism or Heavy Xenophobia Hoping to find good reads.
Reincarnation – Lord is Extremely Hardcore Hell App Ouroboros Record ~Circus of Oubeniel~ Reverend Insanity Hope this helps!
I would recommend The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time, but unfortunately it falls under the category of "harem". And although the MC isn't evil per se, he is definitely morally-gray.
