    Trust me, all the good ones are without a female lead. The first one is incredibly romantic, the protagonist adores his wife (not really, but actually hates her horribly, he's crazy, but still incredibly intelligent). Long live the prophet! The second one is pretty good in the beginning, focusing on survival, it's alright. The third one is a Godslayer fanfic, it's really good, just updates are a bit slow, but the content is quite interesting. The fourth one is about a madman pushed to his limits by humanity, ending up on the opposite side. The fifth one starts with the progenitor, the story unfolds gradually. Basically, except for the third one, the others are all finished, trust me.
