    When I started reading Warlock of the Magus World I thought nothing would ever trump Leylin and his schemes. Meng Hao, Li Qiye, Yun Che, and even goddamn Wang Lin can't be mentioned in the same breath. Fang Yuan has the greatest and truest determination, reading his thoughts are so incredibly enlightening. There was a point where he was left with no way out, and he was cornered by the entire world. But he stood unfazed, even in the face of complete failure he was completely calm. He even had a smile as he died, because he lived true to himself even as a true demon. All these stories about the great devil king and evil mcs are nothing compared to the real deal Fang Yuan.

    Why does everyone get Linley's and Leylin's names wrong?

    Haven't read it, but there are plenty of MC's that have that same temperament you described in the face of death.

    I wanted to ask who the hell he was until I saw the tag. Don't assume we will get you automatically. I didn't and I read the entire first volume.
    I am translating a Villain protagonist novel myself
    Chapter one will make our resident Dual Cultivation Daoist glad @elengee

    Not if you translated it :blob_coughblood::blob_coughblood::blob_coughblood::blob_coughblood: Anyway, which one?
    There's also a few evil MC's on original novels but FY takes the cake with 'beauty is just shit' after he kills a hottie and gets her eaten by animals and talking about her getting pooped out, lol.:blobdizzy:

    Lol, I will mention you when the chapter is ready. The novel is about 200 chapters, so finishing it won't be too difficult. I intend to get two chapters ready this week

    yup, its amazing how the author slowly but steadily made this cold-hearted, savage protagonist so much more lively and humane than so many "morally correct" protagonist out there.
    I've seen many people turn their back on the novel due to Fang Yuan being a "sociopath". Well tbh, not every story is written to set an example for a righteous moral compass. I've seen countless people praising the series after reading hundreds of chapters, but whenever a new "cute" girl is introduced and given an "illusion" that she might have something going on with the MC, and later on brutally killed like any trash at the roadside, those same people will go ahead and complain about the MC being too "rude" and "not being able to enjoy life".
    A morally incorrect personality doesn't make a character "bad", only bad writing does.
    And the writer has hit a homerun for writing such a well developed character. Props to him

    I love his mentality of 'everything is a pile of shit in front of true immortality'. And the way the author integrates Record of the First Human in his novel is very well done.

    Honestly, while FY might be good and all, I would hardly consider him to be the best MC in CNs. If I had to name one, it would be Su Ming from Pursuit of Truth.

    everyone of them is really likeable, doesn't matter if the MC is a natural good or interest-based person

    ^ +1 to Mao Ni novels

    Yeah, i've read many many novels over the years and i've never seen any MC that can compare to Chen Changsheng from ZTJ. I'm convinced that he is my favorite character of all time

    I agree, but rather than Fang Yuan, the plot itself what makes Fang Yuan shine. For example, if you put Fang Yuan on a beach playin volleyball in a regular planet without powers, you won't be appreciating Fang Yuan. Or even in a world of magic/cultivation, the schemes, twist, and smart-obstacle-realistic side characters make Fang Yuan shine, a dumb author can't make him shine.

    bruh people are saying there are similar people in the face of death with a smile? no they arent lol, they'll have a smile on the outside but on the inside its always them talking how they regret not doing things and nonsense, Fang yuan literally does what he wants even though it might not be possible and because he's always been doing what he wants, he wont die with regrets, thats why he can die with a smile on his face, thats the charm of Reverend Insanity
