I Have Completely Fallen in Love With Villain Stories, Recommend Some to Me 😡, Fantasy
This Is What a True Villain Looks Like: Invincible, Crushing the Protagonist, and Utterly Satisfying
I want to read books like "The Fated Villain: So I’m the Only Good Person in My Family". The protagonist is incredibly handsome, ruthless, and a man of few words. His family and ancestors are all tough as nails. No dumb decisions, plenty of brains, and it’s funny too. Watching the villain get the protagonist under control is so addictive the more you read.
Looking for Stories About Clones and Secret Identities. Any Recommendations?
The protagonist pulls the strings from behind the scenes and controls everything 😘
A Master-Class Male Lead with No CP
Looking for books like "The End of Ten Days", preferably with a character like Qi Xia.
Immortality! I Want the Ultimate Immortal Vibe, a Book Truly Worth the Word “Immortal”
What is the purpose of seeking immortality and the Dao? It is for eternal life! It is for walking the Great Dao, for reaching the summit of the Great Dao!
No Female Lead!! Truly No Female Lead, No Romance, Read Carefully!!
Don’t recommend ongoing stories with heroines. If a story isn’t finished and doesn’t say it has no heroine, ask the author whether there is one first. For "I Became Invincible After Rejecting the System", the author said it has one heroine, so absolutely do not recommend it. The requester really will get mad.
Looking for a Cold, Solitary Protagonist Who Walks Alone
I'm out of books to read again. Please help me out, everyone!
A Selfish, Hypocritical, Everyone’s-Favorite Protagonist Whom Everyone Thinks Is Incredibly Kind
I want something similar to The Gentle, Scheming False Gentleman Who Deceived the Entire Cultivation World. It doesn't have to be a villain story, and it doesn't have to have no romantic pairing.
Male Protagonist, No Romance! Handsome and Powerful: ① Everyone's Favorite ② Everyday Illness or Battle Injuries ③ High IQ
Pick two of ①②③, preferably including all three. If you leave out ③, the protagonist still can’t be too stupid. Male protagonist, no CP! If there’s a CP, remove it yourself! Any genre: infinite-flow, rule-based horror, transmigrate to ancient times, modern supernatural powers, and so on. There’s a book on the list someone recommended that features a male-male couple, and I can’t remove it, so watch out...
Any Protagonists with More Than 800 Schemes Up Their Sleeves?

Ensemble Cultivation Stories About Spirited Young People
Looking for books like Little Uncle Lin Du (also known as The Whole Sect Is Full of Hopeless Romantics, but I'm the Only Truly Crazy One).
No Romance, No Romance, No Romance, No Romance, No Romance
Quick transmigration, transmigration, reborn, farming, showbiz, food, raising kids, anything goes. The main thing is no CP, and it must be complete. Thanks!
Male Protagonist, No CP, No Flirting!!! Pure Wish Fulfillment, and He’s Handsome!
I just want a story where the protagonist shines alone (๐•̆·̭•̆๐), soaring all the way to the top!!! Most important: feel-good power fantasy = no romance = no flirting = no lust = no saintly do-gooder protagonist... I’m guessing this book doesn’t exist ε=(´ο`*))) sigh.
Looking for No-CP Books with a Master-Level Protagonist Who Trains Dogs
I'm looking for books similar to Maxed-Out Personality: I Make Evil God Dolls in Space. I want something like this, where 55 is the master, worshipped as a god. The dog-training is so satisfying.
Fabrication, Roleplaying, Sky Screen, Behind-the-Scenes Scheming: Any Two or More

If I Could Choose My Identity, I'd Choose to Be the Villain
Rather than be a famous protagonist, I'd rather be a carefree villain.
Stories Where the Protagonist Has Incredible Presence and Looks Cool Every Time He Appears, Like the Villain
The protagonist should have a powerful aura and leave a strong impression every time they appear. The kind of character whose name makes NPCs steer clear. Preferably no romance, and they should be completely, utterly crazy, like Chen Lian.
A Protagonist Even More Villainous Than the Villain: Cold-Blooded, Ruthless, No Female Lead
That’s all I’m asking for.
No CP, Sect Leaders, Ensemble Cast
Are there any cultivation novels like this? I really want to read one. I've had a serious reading slump lately.
The Male Lead Seems Like a Paragon of Righteousness, but He's Actually a Sneaky Villain
Any Stories Where the Protagonist Is a Villain Who Goes Undercover in the Righteous Faction?

It's good. The "regret-filled" genre is so appealing; I know it's addictive, but I always get drawn in and then disgusted 😢😢😢😢😢 All I'm missing is a villainous protagonist with a "regret-filled" backstory!
This cold, ruthless, and powerful protagonist is so appealing! The entire cultivation world's beloved senior disciple has been completely reimagined as the mastermind behind the scenes villain. The last time I saw a similar hypocritical character that really resonated with me was in Brother Chi's book. I loved both of them so much!
I think it leans towards a mindless wish-fulfillment novel. The protagonist's intelligence and personality are quite good, there's nothing wrong with that. But I feel that if the protagonist is portrayed as a cold genius, the opponents can't all be idiots.
It's really good, there aren't any frustrating moments. The main character is basically playing with the previous main character like a little mouse, and the junior sister is always hitting the previous main character, it's so satisfying! Good job, junior sister!
This is hilarious! Only those who have been wronged truly understand how wronged they are. If the protagonist encounters a truly awful person, it's incredibly frustrating, but if the protagonist is that awful person, it's an unbeatablely satisfying story. The original male lead was so pitiful, unbearably pitiful, hahaha. It's good, just too short! Author, please update soon!
What's most amazing about this book is that it completely subverts the traditional fantasy narrative of "fate". The protagonist wears the gentle mask of a celestial sect leader while wielding the ruthless power of a demon ancestor. The tension arising from the contrast of his multiple identities is a key element throughout the story.
Overall, it's not bad. The protagonist, Fang Ao, has a very appealing character. On the surface, he's the upright and noble senior disciple of the immortal sect, skilled at winning people's hearts, but in reality, he's a demon ancestor in the Mahayana stage. The only downside is the slow pacing.
The plot was good and the viewing experience was great. I especially loved the main character's design; it was very enjoyable to watch. Also, the handsome senior brother slapped me!
It's alright. It's a mindless, feel-good story, but the pacing is good and there are plenty of satisfying moments. I'd rate it as a decent read.
The most awesome and enjoyable book of 2026! The main protagonist and antagonist are both the protagonist and the villain, haha! His combat power is incredible; he never lets the protagonist suffer a defeat. Many people admire him. There's no romantic pairing. Some parts have a touch of the typical straight man's flair.
