Nothing on the Recommendation Lists Appeals to Me. Quickly Give Me Your Favorite Highly Rated Books!
I just want books in the categories listed below!
Mystery, Puzzles, Games, Infinite-Flow, High-IQ
A protagonist similar to Joker.
A Male Lead Who's a High-IQ Criminal, and the Police Can't Catch Him 👮
A Pure Troublemaker Protagonist Who Stabs People in the Back and Runs Off, No Romance
The protagonist is used to having enemies everywhere and being repaid with betrayal after showing kindness. Someone like Amon, or Yang Ping'an from I Can't Forget, So I'll Assimilate the World. The protagonist doesn't need to have the right morals. They can suffer, but they can't be stupid. No CP.

Looking for Satisfying Stories About Revenge Taken in Full
I don't want stories where the enemy is still alive dozens of chapters later. It's annoying. I want a female-lead perspective, and she shouldn't be a pushover; she needs to have brains. No stories that pretend to be about revenge but are really just submissive-wife romance. Recommend something that fits, and don't blame me if I get harsh about irrelevant suggestions.

The killing methods are thrilling, and the protagonist's character is excellent—not a perfect good person, but not entirely evil either. This book is very good, and I hope the author continues updating until the revenge is complete! Please don't stop updating! I'm begging you!
It's really well written and very immersive. It's rare to see such a realistic portrayal. I'm deducting one star because I'd like to ask if people can please stop downloading these types of novels. Are they unable to accept reality? Why do they keep downloading these high-quality novels that expose reality? Are they afraid we'll wake up? I ask you.
The author is so genuine! I really love this book too. I've been following it since chapter 100. Now that it's finished, I'm actually a little sad. Whenever I have free time, I pick it up and listen to it again. My personal opinion is that at the beginning, I thought, "Yes, that's how it is," but the further I read, the more unrealistic it seemed.
This is suitable for people with severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome). Although there are many exaggerated and unrealistic parts, it doesn't stop it from being very enjoyable to watch!
This book is well-written and quite original. The plot is well-structured and logically clear, with foreshadowing and plot developments throughout. It creates suspense, arousing the reader's curiosity and prompting reflection on the truth. In this world, there will always be darkness we haven't seen, and we don't know what others have suffered.
Very good, excellent, but it feels so cold. It's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story, but it's extremely enjoyable! I don't know why, but I've also become a believer in the male protagonist's story. Let justice reappear in reality!
To be honest, it's quite good. The content is exciting, and the plot is fantastical. Of course, novels are different from reality, so I suggest you don't overthink it 🧠 and don't take it too seriously. Anyway, the revenge aspect is quite enjoyable; the whole story is a bit crazy and incoherent, which is very exciting 🤦. It's mindless and enjoyable, very good.
I watched it a long time ago and forgot to leave a review, so I'm adding one now. The protagonist is insane; his entire family was wiped out when he was young, and he's driven to a frenzy of revenge. The novel reveals the protagonist's hatred, the injustice of the world, and the distortion of human nature.
I read this revenge novel in one go, and it was truly breathtaking. I have to give it a good review! The novel opens by presenting the protagonist's tragic fate to the reader without reservation, and that visceral pain instantly gripped my heart. The wrongful deaths of loved ones and the betrayal of close friends drive the protagonist to the brink of despair, igniting a raging fire of revenge.
Overall, it's quite good. There are few works of this genre, and even fewer that I could finish watching without giving up. I genuinely like this kind of thing, especially the ending. It's realistic. Also, the magician's identity is great. Then there are my personal feelings. First, the protagonist seems like he has a split personality, laughing hysterically and crying uncontrollably.
