Dark Academia Life

Genius Protagonists, Puzzle-Solving and Deduction, and Terrifying Horror Worlds

Looking for a Dark-Hearted Protagonist Who's Pure Evil, With No Romance

Looking for books similar to I Created the Monster Sequence! No timid, hesitant behavior in the early chapters or in a past life! No groveling! Ideally, the protagonist is rotten to the core from the very beginning.

No Stories Where Characters Talk About Being Dark and Evil but Then Do Good Deeds

Looking for stories similar to Supernatural Revival: Controlling a Mirage from the Start. The protagonist should be cold-blooded, ruthless, and evil to the core. Read the requirements carefully, and don't recommend something that will get you cursed out. (I'm overflowing with positive energy and need some dark energy to balance it out. I'm not dark myself, I just need what I lack.)

The Darkest of Dark Stories: Don’t Come If You Have Any Limits

Stories Where Everyone Is Highly Intelligent, Both the Protagonists and Their Enemies

Whether they’re protagonists or enemies, they should all be highly intelligent. No idiots.

Looking for High-IQ Perfect-Crime Stories: A Cold-Blooded, Ruthless Psychopath, a Rational Madman in Disguise

Looking for a Logic-Driven Novel with a Highly Intelligent Protagonist. Nothing with Clunky Plotting, and Preferably Some Romance.

No rebirth, no transmigration into a book, no Mary Sue, no entertainment-industry stories, and no quick transmigration. Fantasy or modern settings are fine. I’d like something imaginative with a touch of horror. (Please forgive my picky taste.)

I Want a Purely Self-Interested or Purely Evil Protagonist, No Gradual Corruption or Change

Looking for stories like Murder Apartment: My Talent Grows Infinitely. As the title says, pure self-interest means being willing to do anything for power, without scruples and without mercy. Pure evil means doing evil purely for fun, without needing any particular...

Any High-Quality Mind-Bending or Mystery Novels?

Looking for books similar to *The End of Ten Days*. That book is an eternal god!!!!!

An Ensemble Cast of Villains

I don’t want those stories about a villain’s white moonlight, a shura field, a heartthrob, or anything like that. I just want an ensemble story where everyone’s a villain, men and women alike. I’d prefer a female protagonist, and everyone should be in it for the laughs.

I'm in a Bad Mood. Give Me Some Dark Stories

Decisive and ruthless, not overly compassionate, brutal, and casually murderous.

The Protagonist Designs Crimes: No One Survives, Accidental Killing

There's a novel where the protagonist transmigrates into a world that starts a crime-solving livestream to reduce the crime rate. The protagonist writes scripts based on *A Shot in the Dark*, *The Case of the Mekong River*, *And Then There Were None*, and others, then takes part in them. After each case, the police explain the real investigation. What is the title? I forgot.

Any Stories About Real Crime?
