I am looking for novels similar to the following: -Tokyo Ghoul -Tower of Karma -The Dark King -Void Wolf (royalroad) -Nidome no Yuusha -Arifureta (strictly only until he meets yue) I dropped all of these because I felt like they all went either very boring or completely haywire after a while. I remember enjoying them very much at certain moments though especially The Dark King when the mc wakes up super badass and strong and when kaneki becomes white hair. Yes, these series were heavily flawed, bad, but I enjoyed reading them so I'd like to find something similar. I like the general feel of these stories. If I had to put it into words it'd be something like this: Has an mc that is ruthless, capable, insane, selfish, crazy or evil, especially when the mc was initially too kind hearted and good, but was broken beyond belief. I also like when the mc is tortured/goes through a lot of stuff and seeing how they deal with it. I also like when they actually earn their power. It doesn't have to be a light novel. Normal books or manga reccommendations are fine too. Also, as long as it is a little similar, but is a good story then you can recommend that too. Thank you for your time.
Death Mage isn't on your list and it should be. Lots of mind break here. If you have never had the urge to punch god, you will after reading just the first chapter of this. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-death-mage-who-doesnt-want-a-fourth-time/
Lol. Looks a little sketchy but I will check it out. It is what I asked for, and a perfectly valid recommendation, thank you so much. Please tell me if you find more. I couldn't.
