Webnovel Author: Dcambur - Novel Collection

Well, evil heroes can be interesting, though I am not speaking about pure evil. I derive enjoy from reading books about good MC becoming evil ones, or getting anti-social issues which they can't really cure, also love if the world itself is presented as dark/gloom as it gives more opportunities to the plot to be press on MC and all around him. From character development standpoint, person can develop both positively and negatively, depending on the needs. As a rule of thumb, if surviving becomes a struggle, you will have to gradually shake off morals and take less risky, more immoral path of actions. This is also what i don't like in people of high moral in novels (i usually dislike too kind and benevolent types of MC), their actions just harm both themselves and their close ones. Well, let me rephrase, I will like if taking a lawful action will actually hurt MC, like saving X lady will result in Y villain killing off his family or stopping a rape scene will result in MC being sentenced as his enemy actually had enough influence to act on his wants while MC had only "it is not good, I must stop it" mentality. Well, one can also make a Mary Sue out of MC, but this will make an empty shell out of a character, also author will almost 100% dumb down enemies for MC to act like an all-knowing sage who is also kind. By the way, evil MC may be an ancient cliche, however it still stands that there are whole lot more novels/books with goody two shoes MC instead of villain-type ones. While I was reading chinese/korean/japanese novels here and there, i've found almost none of "Reverend Insanity" type of MC, classic literature may have more, but it is not exactly what people on the webnovel/qidian site are looking for? About recommendations, while it is not a chinese novel, try Mother of Learning (if you didn't), I actually enjoyed reading that one. P.S. It is not too long and MC is good as a person. Lately I am also reading one jp novel series called Kino no Tabi (Adventures of Kino), assuming I have time. If you are tired of power-leveling novels you may also read it.

Just a ducking copy of MW Thanks for attention

Yeah, I kinda see your point... but for me it is still tricky. If MC had to train really hard(harder than others), then even if his training is skipped, he will not be OP for me, cuz he got what he deserved for his efforts. Saitama literally trained so hard that he got bald xD (just a joke, he is of course OP).

I think there are almost no novels with really OP MC who grow weak-to- strong. Like, OP stands for overpowered and is must be done in all directions. So, I consider MC overpowered if they are geniuses who can memorize all from one glance, can outwit who-knows-how-many-years-old-foggeys, develop at a speed much faster than anyone ever can even without any resources on hands and who are lucky to receive some ultimate cheat power. If you, for example, have equals in your age category you can't be considered OP by definition. Seeking for some miracle drug for hundred chapters just to level up is also a no-no in my eyes. Of course, it is just my opinion. The good example of an OP MC is the one who can beat/kill Outer Gods from Lovecraft Universe as a human without any tricks (though it is not quite possible for them even with tricks).
