   Honestly, dark fantasy novels scoring above 8 points aren't really that gory. These few don't treat people like human beings at all. 1. The protagonist starts by sacrificing his entire class to save his own life. 2. By chapter 60, he's already conquered the Earth. 3. Clearing dungeons brings the bizarre into reality. 4. The protagonist is mentally unstable. 5. The protagonist is purely seeking revenge on society. 6. The protagonist isn't human, but his food is...

   Reader note

   You're undeniably a formidable figure! Dark fiction can get high scores, even 9 points? I can only say that dark fiction is incredibly powerful! It must have something to do with Tomato (a famous Taiwanese writer), otherwise Tomato would have banned it long ago! The one I'm recommending isn't a 9, but it's absolutely the essence of dark fiction! The protagonist is a madman, killing four people at once! He'll kill anyone who's been kind to him! He'll kill anyone who hasn't! What does it matter what you are, whether you have power or profit? They'll all die! The first one is truly a female-free, cannibalistic story! [Heart] The third and seventh books also feature cannibalism! The third, sixth, seventh, and eighth books are best enjoyed while you can! Especially the sixth book; the author wrote five books, four of which were banned, and the last one couldn't be banned because the author stopped updating and didn't rewrite it! All I can say is enjoy these while you can, because who knows when the author will stop updating or get banned and it'll be gone. After all, that's how dark fiction is—the better it is, the lower the score! I remember there was also a cannibalistic cultivation novel where the protagonist was a real beast, frantically eating people and running rampant with conspiracies! The world-building is truly excellent; the protagonist's emails and other details are absolutely mind-blowing! The plot is also logical and incredibly good. It's just a shame that Tomato (a Chinese online literature platform) doesn't provide traffic, the author isn't updating, and then it was reported and taken down by some jerk! Anyway, I highly recommend these books, especially the 6th one! The first one is also very good; the protagonist is truly cold-blooded and ruthless, a parasitic madman, only interested in profit, and will do anything for both men and women! The 3rd one is also really good; I think they're all excellent! They truly achieve no female lead, no ambiguity, only profit, only power, and repaying kindness with enmity, etc.! Highly recommended!
