    Warlock of the Magus World is coming to an end, so I need to refill my reading list. ( well, my reading list is full but I still want to read something like WMW )
    I would like some novels about a protagonist who calculate/cheat his way to his goal, he should be Lawful Evil.
    I don't need Evil Protagonist that is evil for the sake of being evil. (Looking at you, Dungeon Defense)
    It would be great if the protagonist doesn't care about relationships (Family, friends, lover(s) etc.) and is smart, quick-witted, maybe ruthless, but will always place his own benefit as first priority.
    The setting can be anything, but preferably Fantasy.

    And Female MC is acceptable too.

    Just making a point here, an evil person as protagonist is what an anti-hero is.

    You'll have to specify what of a super-villain you want

    1. Is it them opposing most people?
    2. Is it them not caring for opinion?
    3. Is it them doing whatever they want to anyone?
    4. Are they always opposed by 'good' guys?
    Etc.

    Anti-hero IMO is someone who does things for "greater good" by using some not-so "hero-like" methods.
    Evil protagonist is someone who does thing for his own gain, not for "greater good"
    1.They oppose people who may be potentials threat to their plans.
    2.They do care about some opinions, but they don't care about moral codes.
    3.They will do what it takes to archive their goals.
    4.Not necessary.

    No that's not an anti-hero it's what people think an anti-hero is. The official definition of anti-hero is the opposite of the hero, where the hero does good, the anti-hero does evil. And example of an anti-hero is a cannibalistic mass murdering protagonist, which is not someone who does something for the greater good.
