    It seem dudian age seems to be messed up so let me tell ya /////////// / S S / S S S S S S S S S S He starts off i guess at 8 and 1/2 time meets girl 3 years older (11) and soon to be 9 before school starts Here is where it gets tricky the translator explained that he got in to Harvard and has a 168 iq at the tender age of 12, however that was wrong it was actually his sister and he has a 142 iq here is the translation i have for y'all {Dudian rolled his eyes internally, thinking, ‘Keep laughing. If this is really a memory test, I could outsmart the examiner in minutes.’ His IQ was 142, which in the old days was just at the threshold of ‘genius’—IQs between 120 and 140 were considered smart, while most people ranged from 90 to 110. His sister, a real prodigy, had an IQ of 168 and was unforgettable; she was admitted to Harvard University at the age of twelve.} So there you have it he is was 8 soon to be 9 pre time skip and is now turning 12

    100 chapters in and the world building is insane. The plot feels slightly rushed at some points, but the author does this to skip mundane things imo. The translation isn't the best, but comparatively better than some others I've seen on the sight. Will keep updating as I continue. I'm stacking SS and TBATE so I got time lol

        He is egocentric, Selfish, Heartless and an Manipulator. He will do ANYTHING for his gains. It is set in a post apocalyptic world with the MC waking up all alone after an unknown situation forcing him to sleep 300 years. He is forced to adapt in a world that is unknown and scary to him, he will do anything to grow strong in this Monster overrun story, and the Monsters are not the only thing he must be wary off.. If you enjoy cold MCs, with thirst for power, Good worldbuilding, Chraracter Development, Decent Pacing, amazing battles, good power system, this is for you. The translation reduces in quality a bit in the like 800 900 chapters, but it Resumes High Quality near the End. It's very readable :)

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't radiation supposed to be nearly gone after 300 years? Even Cobalt bombs last only up to 130 years, so did they use a fictional stronger Cobalt bomb?

      Not realy a spoiler but given the mc survives in a cryo freeze and all. The tech post apocalypse seems a bit more advanced so there could be more damaging bombs. Also there could be monsters putting of radiation, there could be old nuclear plants or waste leaking. Perhaps the nuking or war before the apocalypse damaged the atmosphere and more radiation from space leaks in. Or mabey alien tech leaking radiation, or mabey alien tech purposefully creating radiation. I dont think its too critical to the story line. I'm only chap 900 atm but it might matter later. I would just imagine a backstory that makes you feel better.

        There's too much darkness in the story, it causes the MC to do somethings people would consider evil. However the journey of the story is a must read even with the drop in translation near the end.

    Alright, time for another evil protagonist binge, even if it sounds like the translation gets rough at a certain point. Why do so many villain stories have trouble? Soul of Negary had the translator drop it, Alien Evolution System was dropped by the author, Reverend Insanity was banned.

      Soul of Negary getting dropped by the translator hurts so bad. Personaly one of my fav novels. RL is a shame but that's on the authors side, curse the ccp. Not Bing chilling.

        I could guess from the name lol. It is a shame though, since Soul of Negary really deserves a proper translation. RI actually got taken down mostly by a moral crusade and contract renegotiation. The CCP set frustratingly vague guidelines that the publishing platform that cannot be named enforced, but the censorship was done based on readers and authors reporting things to the platform, and RI had a whole group of fellow authors mobilize their reader base to report RI. Then in the midst of that, he had to try and negotiate his writing contract. Incredibly frustrating to have a bunch of puritans shut down one of the best modern stories around. Millions of stories were purged, mostly for sexual content, but RI got sniped anyway 😭

        It's basically one of my favorite things lol. I enjoy classic heroes and anti-heroes, but the structure of villainous protagonists lends itself so well to stories following unstoppable power growth that I can't help but love it. I also got real tired of hypocritical heroes, where at least villains are openly aware of their hypocrisy. There is a criminal lack of protagonists that rather than rise to occasion, manage to dive beneath every moral bar they meet, no matter how low 😅

        Recommend me some. I already read fang yuans story and that sh*t was fire. Bro was never stupid, didnt go into dumb faceslapping bs and he had teammates every now and then too. If you could recommend one that doesnt get stale bc mc is alone all the time it would be much appreciated.

        My standard villain rec list on this site: Warlock of the Magus World, I am the Fated Villain, Villain: The Play of Destiny, Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God, Regressor Instruction Manual, FFF-Class Trashero (villainous hero), Alien Evolution System, Soul of Negary

        For now these are the ones I remember I’ll be adding more when I remember their titles let me know if you have already read some or know others so I could also try it . And also some of the mc’s are really evil 1. Floating immortal order 2. Can a scholar be called a villain 3. Cancer of all worlds 4. Cursed immortality 5. Lord of glory 6. Phantasmal genesis 7. Questing the heavens desiring the way 8. The olden chapter ~ related to soul of negary 9. The original seeker 10. Unlimited interpretation 11. Way of heaven 12. The great enlightenment 13. Rise of history strongest empire 14. Extreme external demon 15. I am an evil sword 16. Immortal martial arts 17. Entering the devils path 18. Abyss demon of all realms 19. Calamity frontier 20. Immortal demon 21. Oruboros records 22. Hell app 23. A sorcerer journey to immortality. Not evil mc but cold ruthless and kind of apathetic

        Might do the same bc right now i only remember a few i can genuinly recommend Worm. A practical guide to evil. Mind you both are more in the neutral/evil camp. They are also quite long XD. From your list i already know Obourous Records, that was a wild (and good) one. You might also already know Dungeon Defense, however personally i am kinda on the fence with that one

        It's true, I've read so many novels that nowadays when I pick up a very innocent MC or superhero style I immediately drop. I can't read this type of novel anymore.

        I'll be honest, I don't organize my recs by anti-hero, so this might be a little hacked together. Assuming you 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 want villains. In no particular order. Shadow Slave, the Primal Hunter, Trash of the Count's Family, Renegade Immortal (pretty close to villain though), My Disciples are all Villains, Regressor Instruction Manual, Reborn as a Demonic Tree, FFF-Class Trashero (villainous hero). Birth of the Demonic Sword (personally didn't enjoy, but others have). A Journey of Black and Red. There's some variation there, as anti-hero covers everything from terrible people that do good, to good people that sometimes do bad. Those are all worth checking out though.

        Do you know any good underrated Villain MC books that DONT have any Romance or Harems? (Doesn't have to be limited to just this site.) It's so difficult to find a good Villain book that isn't plagued by Romance or Harems. I need more stiff like: [Sword God in a Word of Magic] [Reverend Insanity] [Soul of Negary] [A Cold-blooded POV] [Demon Lord of Terror] I just find Romance and Harems completely detract from the unbridled Villainy that I'm reading these books for.

        Honestly, the only things I didn't see in either your or Kamil's comment were Warlock of the Magus World, and Alien Evolution System. I am the Fated Villain has a harem, but they're treated just like everyone else in that he manipulates for benefits rather than getting laid. Fingers crossed someone will write something on the same level as Reverend Insanity one of these days.

        Without harem: -Birth of the Demonic Sword -Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God -Carefree Path of Dreams -Trafford's Trading Club -I’m Really Not The Demon God’s Lackey -The Primordial Record With Harem but worth reading: -Profane Prince of Domination -Villain Cultivator -Reverend Ecstasy
