Recommendations Evil protagonist

[LimitBound]

Copying my earlier post since I didn't get any answer on it
(excuse the grammar mistakes I am writing this while sleep deprived)

Hello, after reading the same old stuff I got tired of it so I want a story with an evil protagonist (doesn't matter if it's from here or RR), just need something to scratch that itch while I wait for new chapters from REND.
Also not meant to be harsh or anything but if you're gonna recommend something with a redemption arc for the protagonist please dont.

I feel like I need to mention that I actually want an actual evil protagonist not a "I do bad stuff to bad guys because I had a dark past" If you've read REND on here you know what I mean (the protagonist isn't an underdog or had a fucked up past) although if the protagonists past is fucked up and they don't only do the "bad stuff to bad guys" it's ok too
I'm not necessarily looking for a psychopath, because a protagonist with too much anger could be fun too.


I prefer female protagonist over male but if it's male and the story is good then that's no problem at all. Would be appreciated if there was no romance or sexual content in it, don't like that stuff.

(Also an apathetic, like legit and not some 'oh im cold and don't care but actually I do' type who doesn't change would work too if no one can find an evil female lead)

Just a head up these are tags I despise:
Romance
Harem
Smut
Girls love
Boys love
.. you get the idea.


Thank you in advance if you got something to suggest

Sorry for the long post

Only one I know who fits the bill is Shiraori from So I'm A Spider

Except for the romance tag cuz when it is well done it fits well in any kind of story, I share the same opinion about all the others.

The closest thing I can imagine is Redo of a Healer. Overlord might fit depending on who you’re asking too. I‘ve heard that in the Web Novel version of So I’m a spider so what? MC is evil, but it had a bad, and/or rushed end.

I've read the WN, and Shiro isn't actually an evil MC. At most, she's a chaotic neutral. The WN didn't have a rushed end too; it got on hiatus due to the author focusing on the LN first. She's apathetic towards the people that she views as her enemies, though she still cares about her friend and disciples(The Demon Lord).
It is a great read so I recommend that wn too.

Spoiler: A scene that might encourage you reading it

There's that time where she killed thousands of humans when she escaped the labyrinth. She didn't care even though she knew it since they're the ones who tried to kill her first.

Spoiler: A bigger spoiler that highlights her character

She didn't care about killing half of the Planet's population so that she can achieve her goal. Even though she wanted to do this for her friend, this highlights her chaotic neutralness.

A female apathetic MC? A psychopath who wouldn't care about killing as long as she achieves her goals? Then this novel is for you.

Spoiler

Except her goal was to save people's souls. In that setting, a soul will incarnate -illions of times, so saving a single soul from destruction is more important than saving billions of lives. She continues to safeguard the souls of the people she kills so that they can be incarnated again after the 'end'. Even if she eats a few people along the way, her Karma is completely pointed towards Good.

(Kumo Desu Protag)She isn't evil, 'just misunderstood'. I don't think that's what the OP is looking for.

 

[Ruriha]

Shiki, maybe? Though it largely depends on your perspective and which side you're on. Is the true villain the vampires who prey upon humans in order to survive, or is it the doctor and the villagers, who are more savage than the evil they so despise?

Other than that, this is the best I got on top of my head:

Reincarnation – Lord is Extremely Hardcore - Novel Updates

Although her victims are primarily people who actively tries to antagonize her, she has no qualms killing the innocents. In fact, if I remember correctly, the first set of victims shown was a couple who were trying to make out near her mansion.

Hm.. I've read the entire thing about a year ago, so I might've made a mistake there. Thanks for pointing it out!

Spoiler: PS

Tbh, I thought that she's really doing that for the sake of that Angel. Since the demon lord wanted to save her, Shiro did. That's how i understood it when I've read it before.

Though, OP could still checck out the other novel that I've recommended. That one's definitely a psychopath, apathetic, and cruel fmc.

Well for me I just don't really like romance, I dunno why

Redo has smut ..

I've read both of these and they're good recommendation, kumo not so much but still good
Genocide online is good when you have nothing to read since the writting style is a little plain and all that

Oh I did read that actually.
Also the ending just happened very recently, like my friends were talking in discord about it yesterday.

sigh, it's actually rare to find that kind of MCs, i don't know if you read this novels but , here you go
1, Reverend insanity (the second best)
2, reincarnation Paradise (the best evil mc i have ever seen)
3, way of the devil (it has small romance moments)
4,
and dungeon defense.

Overlord has an evil MC.

Well he doesn't think he is evil but his actions thus far has pretty much cemented him being evil. (his carelessness and treatment of the people in the new world)

 

[SakeVision]

Most evil protags are framed as good by their self-righteous authors, which makes their evil even more vile
