    Basically, any action light navel where MC believes in gender equality and never takes shit from anybody. Most of these so-called 'ruthless' MCs are full of simps and pushovers, eg: Peerless martial arts. Emperor's domination. I don't like this kind of novel where women walk all over mc and he doesn't do shit.

    All I'm saying is I'm looking for a story, there shouldn't be any annoying women[villains or companions]. If there is, MC must not act biased just bcoz they are women. A good example is Solo Leveling/I Alone Level-up.

    Your request is full of contradictions. You specifically don't want the MC to beat up women, but tag it "ruthless". How is this MC suppose to handle his female enemies, then? It's one thing if the story is circled around society and money, but most ruthless MC don't use that method. They talk with violence. Either accept hurting women for true gender equality or find a very violent evil MC. That simple, friend.

    CN MC harem is KR drama up to the nine heavens.
    KR MC harem is less drama and more on awkward endings unless there's NTR involve.
    JP MC harem... well you know the program.

    JP MC mindset for settling in between extremes is hard to find, since it depends on the story. Most JP MCs are full on edge or full on nice guy. CN MC are full on justice boner with few are full on evil boner. KR MC is usually the lone wolf type or...

    Wait, hmm... What about MEMORIZE?

    Man, from the thread it seems like you're looking for good ol' fashioned sexism rather than gender equality. Somebody once said everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power. Looks like you're looking for power fantasies then, except its women as villains. Maybe the real life situation in most third world countries? Several good non-fics, maybe Malala's book might be a good read for you, if you put yourself in the victimizer's perspective

    I don't care if there is a bunch of women villains. Where male villains get killed and women get a slap for trying to kill the MC is not right.

    Hi there!

    I'm currently writing a novel about a world where assassination is legal. The MC is a manipulative sociopath that only wants to achieve his goal and doesn't care if the one standing in his way is a woman, man or anything else. He just tries to get what he wants.

    I hope you'll enjoy it ;)

    I dropped ffs-class-trashero cuz gods trying to manipulate him in to be a hero. I prefer the other way, hero to anti-hero or villain. Am I wrong about the story???

    The MC is an escaped shapeshifting bio-weapon attempting to blend into society, it has no preconceived gender bias. It only takes on a 'male' appearance because of it observing that males gain less scrutiny/attract less gazes.

    Reverend Insanity, mc killed most of the women who liked him. He also defeated an enemy that is chasing him and then he sold her ribs to display dominance

    Definitely this, although only if you want a protagonist who exhibits true ruthlessness and no hesitation to do anything.
