   Hmm, these are all the books on my shelf that I've tried, and I highly recommend 3, 4, and 5. There's absolutely no romance (though some people ship them internally, of course). 189 Is pure killing, 23 is about the city, 2 is about revenge, 3 is about killing anyone he doesn't like! 4 Is the villain lurking within the main group, and 5 is an elegant, fun-loving person to the core.

    That book recommendation was just a random one; the main point was to explain what Chaotic Evil (also known as the Destroyer) means: driven by greed, hatred, and a destructive urge, they are volatile, autocratic, and ruthlessly seize and destroy, viewing civilization and order as a cancer, and exhibiting extremely poor organizational skills. I've read many of the books recommended here; could you please think carefully before recommending them to see if the protagonist is truly in the Chaotic Evil camp?
