    Hi, I was looking for an MC who is truly ruthless and tries to advance his Skills with all means possible.
    So, since Chinese stories are apparently quite often like that I am now reading my first Chinese Novel "Reverend Insanity". However I am quite annoyed with it.

    What I don´t like:
    • Trash Translation
    • Terrible writing Style. ie.: everything gets hundred times repeated, even if it was only mentioned a few chapters back. Abilities that the MC has or numbers often change after some chapters.
    • Often things will not be explained although they are important.
    • thousands of Chinese names, urgh
    • Watching the MC for 200 chapters to collect some stuff only to throw it away later on and then go an completely different path.
    • super-lucky MC, at one chapter he is talking that Ability X would be good for him and two chapters later he gets it.
    • Everything what he does throws profit and every scheme he devises works no matter what.
    • Complete Plot Protection.

    What I like:
    • Completely ruthless MC, kills everyone who could harm him and does not wait for them to come back. Does not care if it´s an kind older lady, a murderer or an innocent child.
    • Tries to get everything that would gain him an advantage.

    TL;DR:
    Looking for an Novel where the Protagonist wants to desperately advance and does everything in his power to achieve that.
    I just don´t get how Reverend Insanity could get 70% "1" Scores.

    And yeah, NU has the Novel Finder but those "ruthless" or "evil" MC´s are quite often really nice, except to their enemies. But I want an Protagonist that even goes against his "friends".

    Why exactly did you name "Warlock of the Magus World"?
    I don´t see where he is ruthless or evil. He is actually quite the nice guy.

    Reverend Insanity needs time, now that I'm 1400 chapters in, literally everything makes sense, now that you know how big the world actually is, some random rank 4 mortal gu seems soooo unimportant lol.
