I prefer stories with no female lead, and themes of ruthlessness and self-interest
A Reading List for Clear-Headed Readers
Dark stories have all but disappeared from Qidian, so these days I only recommend rational, level-headed stories.
Books with Ruthless, Decisive Leads
Everyone's welcome to save and comment , , , , The Infinite Performance has disappeared Sleepy Immortal
No-CP Reading List,
I originally made this list hoping people would recommend books to me too, but after all this time, only a few have been recommended. A lot of my other lists have been abandoned, and I don’t feel like keeping this one up anymore either... From now on, I’ll just update it whenever I feel like it.
Ruthless, Cunning Leads, No Romance: Recommendations in the Same Vein
Decisive protagonists, scheming leads, no female lead, similar genres
2024: High-IQ, Self-Interested Novels Without Goody-Two-Shoes Protagonists
Ruthless, self-interested, and highly intelligent
Dark Fiction: Stories with Non-Toxic Protagonists
Essential traits of a dark-fiction protagonist 1. Antisocial personality: willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals 2. Socially withdrawn and hyper-logical: highly intelligent, loves putting on an act, and no one can see through the protagonist 3. Emotionally detached: cares only about themself Here are a few novels on Qidian that, for some reason, won't show up on the list: 1. Boss Descends into Reality (fits all three traits) 2. The Beginning of Corruption (fits traits 1 and 2) 3.
Dark Stories with No Female Lead
As long as you don’t do good deeds or help others, and don’t look down on evil, that counts as dark fiction. I don’t know why, but every time I update a book, it gets reviewed. So annoying.

I finally found a book without a female protagonist. Those about the pursuit of immortality and the female protagonist are annoying to read. They have to take care of her cultivation resources, her lifespan, and keep her own secrets. I am speechless.
Two more beasts are not your limit, just your beginning
Three years after I married, my wife was abused every day, my father-in-law and mother-in-law sneered at me, and my best brother seduced my wife. All I endured for countless times was only getting worse. I can't bear it anymore and there is no need to bear it anymore. As long as the author updates ten chapters, you can listen to my revenge plan.
Come, the author reads with me my solemn oath: starting from today, I will never update. I don't watch dramas, travel, or get sick. I will play no games, no hydrology. Strict self-discipline, cherish time like gold, perseverance, hard work, advocating first-class, striving for brilliance, taking pleasure in coding, steel can be made by repeated tempering, worthy of readers, worthy of youth, worthy of the future. As an author, I solemnly swear: I firmly believe that I am an excellent author. Coding is my bounden duty. I have unlimited potential and am not afraid of hardship! I can code words diligently. I am a keyboard in the dark, a guard on the Great Wall of Internet. I voluntarily dedicate my life to code words, day by day, and night by night. 😌😌
You are the only black text I can find now, no eunuchs😭
Personal opinion on this book: The description of "caution" is too deliberate, and if you read it for a long time, you will feel timid and fearful. The male protagonist lacks self-confidence, and secondly, his combat power is slightly low. If you read it for a long time, you will feel a sadistic and aggrieved feeling. As a protagonist, of course you have to have some protagonist aura. Although it is not an invincible novel, it must at least be 55. It is really uncomfortable to watch the abusive protagonist. Also, the protagonist turns into a maggot. I really admire the author for this idea. 😰 It does look a bit weird, but it can be transformed into other slightly better beasts, or it can be transformed into blood mist. It is invisible and formless. If we follow the current update speed, I can only say that I will book it all by the end of the year
Why does the protagonist become less and less human the more he cultivates himself? There should be some skills like disguise. The more you practice to the extreme, the simpler your transformation will be. It's okay if the body is a shell, but people like to look good.
I think Lin Feng's plot is very poisonous, too poisonous A Linghai can control a Qi practitioner and it's like this The protagonist is too impatient, but he reaps the consequences It's okay to just arrange a random mission for him, It's okay to arrange a few waves of strength tests in the wild and crush him to death, no one knows about him How did he die? The whole sect knew about it, and the sect leader also knew it, and came out to hunt the protagonist The protagonist flaunted himself as a dark stream, with an excellent character But in this matter, he looked like a fool, doing things without any rules Seeing small gains and forgetting his own life, doing big things without sacrificing his own life.
There are many unreasonable settings in the system of cultivating immortals, and they all involve caves, secret realms, techniques, and plots. There's not much difference, but if you watch it too much, it'll be just mediocre. Plus there are too many adventures, and you'll feel like the God of Wealth is giving away treasures to the protagonist. An unreasonable causal theory setting. On the one hand, it talks about competing with heaven and man, and on the other hand, it says that if there is a cause, there must be an effect, and you must pay back what you owe. If you can't owe it, then why argue? The second theory about inner demons is that the protagonist is always afraid of having inner demons, but others don't have inner demons? Then why are others so highly cultivated? Are they stronger than the protagonist? Not necessarily. If there are many beautiful women in the first illusion of the protagonist in this book, and the protagonist kills them all without saying anything, he picks up the sword, which shows that the protagonist is not lustful, then it doesn't necessarily mean that others are not lustful, right? Does that mean that other people with higher cultivation than the protagonist are also lustful? The third theory of elixirs, basically novels say that you should not take too many elixirs because they are poisonous, so the protagonist does not even take elixirs. But look at that person who has never taken elixirs, especially the rich second generation. Taking drugs is like free money. Building foundations and golden elixirs have no effect on others. The Nascent Soul of the older generation is distracted, but they also take elixirs and become geniuses. Plus, no matter what kind of injury you get, you don't need to take medicine. There is also fortune telling. You can know everything once you calculate. This is outrageous. There are also even more outrageous statements about the past, present and future. They say that traveling through the past and changing the past can change the present. It means that you can go back to the past, kill the enemy, and then travel back. There are also arguments for asking my future self to protect me. Wait, many settings are illogical and have big loopholes.
There are currently no poisonous points, so it should be regarded as a "mortal flow". Don't engage in operations that are easy to block, such as eating people directly. You can change the method, such as directly draining the life force, etc. To make a roundabout way. It's 8u, I guess. You can keep writing and work on the details.
