    Preferably BL or GL, but all reccs are appreciated. I've just recently gotten into xianxia, so I've only read Mo Dao Zu Shi and Tian Guan Ci Fu so far. I'm currently reading Erha and FGEP

    Most xianxia Web novels have evil protagonists, but usually the author just dresses them up as good. But here's my list of good picks with protagonists that are painted as antihero or villain
    Renegade Immortal
    Way of the Devil
    Carefree Path of Dreams
    Warlock of the Magus World (kinda xianxia. Very similar but without traditional Chinese mythological elements)
    My disciple wants to tease me everyday - it's a GL! But it's the love interest that's evil

    Haha... Sorry mate. I don't know many of the short forms/names you use for Asian novels. Thanks!
