   Reader note

   I suggest looking in dark fantasy novels. Here are a few new dark villain novels I recommend: First, an infinite flow novel where the protagonist prioritizes self-interest, using everyone but himself; his goals are clear, even to the point of scheming against himself. Second, a fantasy novel where the protagonist is ruthless, pursuing immortality; no one is immune to his goals, and he eliminates all threats. Third, a supernatural novel where the protagonist is a ghost without human memories; the writing style is dark and oppressive, and he has the potential to become a god.
