My Favorite Unhinged Protagonists, Plus Some Other Recommendations

After reading Qidian novels for more than ten years, my interests have changed, so I created a booklist specifically for my personal tastes. It is for recommending protagonists who appear normal on the surface but are already rotten inside; protagonists who hold great righteousness in their hearts, remain gentle and kind toward others, yet take things to extremes; and protagonists struggling between normality and abnormality, among others. I prefer no female lead or a single female lead. Few authors can write both the romance plot and female characters well in harem stories, so I generally do not read them. I do not recommend historical or urban entertainment stories. Living in the real world is tiring enough, so supernatural fantasy suits me better. I do not think there is any need to write about the few wildly popular crazy protagonists, since everyone already knows them. The books recommended here are therefore somewhat niche, which means I often run out of things to read. If anyone with similar tastes has other recommendations, please share them. Consider this an attempt to inspire others. PS: Continuously updated. Creating this booklist was a sudden idea, so some books are ones I read a year or two ago and need to recall. The updated books are ones I have read mostly through. I am not good at summarizing, so the reviews are basically my personal impressions or complaints. PPS: I am not including the hugely popular titles or ancient classics. Since the list felt too short, I have slipped in some books I particularly like whose protagonists are not especially crazy. These will be marked separately.
