    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't radiation supposed to be nearly gone after 300 years? Even Cobalt bombs last only up to 130 years, so did they use a fictional stronger Cobalt bomb?

        he was betrayed and put in prison even though almost everyone knows he didn't do anything. mainly because of the gf father was influential and he didn't like her daughter marrying some low-level commoner. he was tortured but what's more his gf didn't believe him even 0.01% and ask him to accept his crimes which he didn't commit (even i want to kill her at that moment). NOW AFTER ALL THIS MC MIND IS F*CK*D UP, HE DIDN'T CARE ABOOUT LIFE ALL LOGIC IS SH*T AND HE START KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE EVEN KILLING CHILDRENS WITH NO LOGIC AND START MAKING ENEMIES F*CK*NG EVEVRY CHAPTERS. even people who support him start making distance from him. his personality changed 360 in a way almost no reader like it.

        From the description i can tell it's a kind of apocalypse novel, and i guess his goal at the start of the novel was to save humanity or his beloved ones or whatever Now that he got betrayed like that and he no longer cares about people's lives, i don't know how there are +800 after that betrayal, what is his goal rn ? Are these chapters about his mentality going back and forth between insanity and probity ? or it's about him seeking for revenge? I don't rly care that much since im not reading it anyways, im just curious Thanks for saving my life mr poison tester 💙

        his main is to find out what actually happen to earth because there the rich people living inside wall (this structure is similar to attack on titan place) stop reading about 550 but he is dying (reason pretty simple he was getting strong using cheat other can't but that trick backfire on him) and the only people who can save him are inside the wall (from the looks of it they have technology and new research they don't share with anyone) but literally no one from outside can go in. so he has to become strong and earn merit and he will do anything for it you know what i mean right. if you ask me he has already taken his revenge but now he is going after every influential family (i think there are 10 such family).

    Alright, time for another evil protagonist binge, even if it sounds like the translation gets rough at a certain point. Why do so many villain stories have trouble? Soul of Negary had the translator drop it, Alien Evolution System was dropped by the author, Reverend Insanity was banned.

        It's basically one of my favorite things lol. I enjoy classic heroes and anti-heroes, but the structure of villainous protagonists lends itself so well to stories following unstoppable power growth that I can't help but love it. I also got real tired of hypocritical heroes, where at least villains are openly aware of their hypocrisy. There is a criminal lack of protagonists that rather than rise to occasion, manage to dive beneath every moral bar they meet, no matter how low 😅

        Recommend me some. I already read fang yuans story and that sh*t was fire. Bro was never stupid, didnt go into dumb faceslapping bs and he had teammates every now and then too. If you could recommend one that doesnt get stale bc mc is alone all the time it would be much appreciated.

        My standard villain rec list on this site: Warlock of the Magus World, I am the Fated Villain, Villain: The Play of Destiny, Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God, Regressor Instruction Manual, FFF-Class Trashero (villainous hero), Alien Evolution System, Soul of Negary

        For now these are the ones I remember I’ll be adding more when I remember their titles let me know if you have already read some or know others so I could also try it . And also some of the mc’s are really evil 1. Floating immortal order 2. Can a scholar be called a villain 3. Cancer of all worlds 4. Cursed immortality 5. Lord of glory 6. Phantasmal genesis 7. Questing the heavens desiring the way 8. The olden chapter ~ related to soul of negary 9. The original seeker 10. Unlimited interpretation 11. Way of heaven 12. The great enlightenment 13. Rise of history strongest empire 14. Extreme external demon 15. I am an evil sword 16. Immortal martial arts 17. Entering the devils path 18. Abyss demon of all realms 19. Calamity frontier 20. Immortal demon 21. Oruboros records 22. Hell app 23. A sorcerer journey to immortality. Not evil mc but cold ruthless and kind of apathetic

        Might do the same bc right now i only remember a few i can genuinly recommend Worm. A practical guide to evil. Mind you both are more in the neutral/evil camp. They are also quite long XD. From your list i already know Obourous Records, that was a wild (and good) one. You might also already know Dungeon Defense, however personally i am kinda on the fence with that one

        I read that one, i liked it though i felt it was a bit stale at times since shang only focuses on strength and most other characters are rather boring. Also wished for more plotting and less self harm

        It's true, I've read so many novels that nowadays when I pick up a very innocent MC or superhero style I immediately drop. I can't read this type of novel anymore.

        I'll be honest, I don't organize my recs by anti-hero, so this might be a little hacked together. Assuming you 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 want villains. In no particular order. Shadow Slave, the Primal Hunter, Trash of the Count's Family, Renegade Immortal (pretty close to villain though), My Disciples are all Villains, Regressor Instruction Manual, Reborn as a Demonic Tree, FFF-Class Trashero (villainous hero). Birth of the Demonic Sword (personally didn't enjoy, but others have). A Journey of Black and Red. There's some variation there, as anti-hero covers everything from terrible people that do good, to good people that sometimes do bad. Those are all worth checking out though.

        Do you know any good underrated Villain MC books that DONT have any Romance or Harems? (Doesn't have to be limited to just this site.) It's so difficult to find a good Villain book that isn't plagued by Romance or Harems. I need more stiff like: [Sword God in a Word of Magic] [Reverend Insanity] [Soul of Negary] [A Cold-blooded POV] [Demon Lord of Terror] I just find Romance and Harems completely detract from the unbridled Villainy that I'm reading these books for.

        Honestly, the only things I didn't see in either your or Kamil's comment were Warlock of the Magus World, and Alien Evolution System. I am the Fated Villain has a harem, but they're treated just like everyone else in that he manipulates for benefits rather than getting laid. Fingers crossed someone will write something on the same level as Reverend Insanity one of these days.

        I heard that the book demon lord of terror is harem one. So, why is it in this list?

      • KamilG 3

        Without harem: -Birth of the Demonic Sword -Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God -Carefree Path of Dreams -Trafford's Trading Club -I’m Really Not The Demon God’s Lackey -The Primordial Record With Harem but worth reading: -Profane Prince of Domination -Villain Cultivator -Reverend Ecstasy

      Its been so long since i stopped reading this. The og translator had his translation stolen by webnovel. Then they started threatening everyone trying to translate with legal actions. The chapters after 500 were machine translated and fixed up, webnovel just uploaded those.

    This translation is awful and it needs to be run through a grammar fixer.
