   Reader note

   Absolutely no female lead, no romance, no women, and all are extremely cruel. However, if the protagonist is surrounded by women, I will warn you, but the contact is not very serious and is within an acceptable range. The protagonist of the first book is insidious, vicious, and a born pure evil, unable to tolerate beauty and only wanting to destroy. He is the embodiment of negative existence and is mostly a lone wolf with no romantic pairing. The protagonist of the second book is cold-blooded and ruthless, an egoist, but also a lone wolf with no female lead. He does have contact with women, but it is all extremely cruel. However, he only once controlled two women to massage their backs and legs before killing them. This only happened once, and he killed them immediately. As for the others, they were all killed directly. This might be a little toxic for the lack of a female lead, so I skipped it. The third book is also cold-blooded and ruthless, surrounded by monsters, with no romance whatsoever. I won't go into details about the other aspects, but those interested can check it out. The protagonist of the fourth book is not human and is inherently emotionless and desireless. However, he has a female apprentice, but in short, he doesn't have much contact with women, as the protagonist has a somewhat aloof personality and doesn't interact much with others. The protagonist of book 5 is an antagonist, kind to his own people but cruel to others, killing anyone who isn't one of his own. Book 6 is similar to book 5, being by the same author, and also kind to his own people but cruel to others, even willing to sacrifice everyone except his own. Book 7's protagonist is the ruler of the Zerg, originally human, but becoming increasingly ruthless and devoid of emotion, equally cruel, even engaging in deception and betrayal, trusting only himself. There's a plot where he develops feelings for a woman, but it's all deception; they only hold hands and hug, and that's it—very little, lacking any real intimacy, just perfunctory, but still within acceptable limits. Book 8's protagonist is also born emotionless and desireless, a born villain, but he takes on a female disciple. However, the protagonist is clearly uninterested in women, and his actions are almost always cruel. There's a plot where the protagonist carries his female disciple into the sky, but the disciple's strength is too low; it's just a casual gesture without any real emotion. The protagonist in the ninth book is solely focused on becoming stronger, showing no interest in women and resorting to any means necessary, even refining all living beings. The protagonist in the tenth book is similarly cold-blooded and ruthless, ultimately destroying the world and killing his own people. He also only wants to become stronger and is uninterested in women. These are all dark novels with extremely low moral standards. Those with a strong sense of justice or morals should absolutely avoid them, as there is absolutely no female lead. The protagonist may only have one female character at most, but he will not show emotions, desire, or engage in any physical relationship. There may be some physical contact, though. If you are concerned about this, you can skip ahead, as only two of the books I mentioned have this feature, and only once or twice. Other books don't have much contact with women. As for the choking scene, that doesn't count as horror; I forgot about it after not reading it carefully. I don't know which horror theme suits you best, so choose whichever you prefer.
