Huh, well what do you know? turns out i wasn't as knowledgeable as i thought i am, i haven't even heard some of these...
But enough with my suspension of disbelief.
I reckon this thread is in need of some good ol stories.
So, without further ado,lemme just drop a few on the top of my head.
1.have scythe will travel (ff.net)
-It's hidan, nuff said
2.in the shadows (ff.net)
-Gecko moria, not too hardcore, but it's enough
3.Cataclysm (ff.net)
-I mean, the recent chapter have me doubting wether to recommend it or not... Let's just say the protagonist got massively cucked big time recently, and i ain't liking it.
3.FFF transhero (free online novel)
-in the words of the synopsis of the story, "Make way for the Great Hero brimming with personality and dreams!", best boi, would read again 9/11
4. Genocide online (free online novel)
-now, type the novel name on your search engine, look up at the cover, see dat face, you can't go wrong with that face.
5.Tower of Karma (free online novel)
-you thought it was your average bullied slave revenge story!? BUT IT WAS ME! D- cannibalism.
6.And finally, anything written by the esteemed sir valor of the house of questionable questing. Keep in mind that some of his story is unfinished, plus he's in a state of torpor or some shizz, but the few that he have though, it's good. Granted there's sex since it's questionable questing and all, but it's not overdone, and somehow manages to focus on the plot and not the "plot" most of the time. I don't know about you, but in qq that counts as a miracle.

... That's all i can remember currently, am sure those list haven't been recommended here before. short list, with some I'm sure you guys've read before... Welp, imma just gonna sulk in the corner over my recently realized inferiority. I shall return when i have more to share.
Pleasant day to all of you.

Oh right, and how could I forgot a classic? Amenaza, arguably the best version of naruto. I mean, if collapsing the astral and the physical realm together isn't badass enough, then i sincerely question your sense of badassery. Welp, that's it for now, toodles.

MyRedeemerLives errrrr... Did i say cataclysm? I meant to say catalyst... So... Oops?
But wait, since i am here indeed, let me share a bit more.

1.Oubeniel circus
-I'm putting these here for the reason i haven't seen anyone putting this in yet, and this goes without mentioning, that you're a failure of a human being if you somehow don't know of this.

2.Forgotten dungeon
-Imagine getting dropped in the middle of a magical post apocalypse with power over life. AND, since I'm recommending this, you should know that the protagonist isn't a paragon of morals.

3.God is an idiot
-An overlord fanfic with less fluff and more scheme. I mean, what other version of Ainz, thinks to launch undead into space so that he can have the complete surveillance of the planet? Exactly, none.

4.Faceless
-A bit old, and a bit dead. Overlord fanfic, and a good one, unlike other self insert who bitch about are we hooman this and we can't kill hooman that, you won't hear the same from this one.

5.Millenium
-Now, i know I'm stretching the boundaries a bit since it's an mlp fic. But hear me out here. Imagine an old being that survives the destruction of reality as we know it, and can proclaim fuck you to reality and spit on its face. Sure, the recepient are those ponies abominations, but just imagine them as humans and you should be gucchi.
P.S. It's not in ffnet, forgot what it's called, mlp fic i think? God that name is gay

6.Lex luthor triumphant
-Pretty sure yall know of this, so let's move on with the next fic.

7.Rattling monster (i think?)
-A story on this site, with plenty escalation and none of the usual weird-ass wording oh so common on this side. To sum this up in one word that no one knows? Skaven.

And that's it for this session of brainwashing, there's also this fanfic about albert wesker in dc, but it's too few to judge. Well then! Once again i'm off, ta ta.

P.S. I also noticed there are some recs here that either fits in with the edgy angsty teen antiheros, i.e. Any means necessary, apotheosis, or a straight up superhero, like that harry osborn one. Pray tell, what makes them qualify to be listed here, as my insights are lacking.
P.P.S. Well, nevermind then, turns out i missed that "or at least anti-hero sentence." it is my mistake.

      I've said it before and I shall say it again. Dungeon defense.

      Not the WN version (surprisingly quite well done as well, quite like a good parallel world version of the story but there's too little chapters there, best you stick to the 5 volumes one).

      I'm not going to even try to sell it. It's that good in my opinion.

      dunno if they’ve been mentioned before but recently found two new ones, at least “new” for me)

      Have Scythe, Will Travel by Notsae
      https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12830216/1/Have-Scythe-Will-Travel

      A story about a lovely psychopath though unfortunately it is dropped at 56k word

      How much for your soul? by Planet Bob
      https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24245/how-much-for-your-soul
      Here we have a brainwashing rapist megalomaniac, though the author has a tendency to of trying to justify the protag’s actions(which is kinda gay if u ask me)

        [unknown] Check A record of a mortal's journey to immortality, Tempered immortal and Daoist Master of Qing Xuan.

                MyRedeemerLives My MC is an anti-hero who hates humankind and wants to rule the world so he could determined who gets to live. He thinks most people don't deserve to walk the earth because they love war and destroying nature. He is a broken man and has a f*cked up view on humanity. He said, "Let only the strong, the intelligent, and the good live on this earth." He was working on AI projects to replace human as much as possible and even secretly controlled the media to make weak people go into suicide.

                The title of my novel is: THE ALCHEMISTS, a story about immortal people on modern day. The MC I told you about is from Volume 2. Feel free to read from Volume 1, to get to know the alchemists first, before you go for our anti-hero in Volume 2. I generously let the first 176 chapters be free. It is only locked from chapter 177, so people can enjoy more stuff before they can decide if they want to invest their time and money on my novel.

                Even though the novel has 3 volumes, related to each other, they all can be read separately.

                Hope you'll like it. (If you do read and like it, please let me know XD)

                        Ancient_ hey you, yes you! I'm neither an expert nor a political figure you can put your trust in, but you can damn well trust in the sheer badassery that is lord voldy in the appropriately named fanfiction, "I am lord voldemort". And of course i'm only saying in the very miniscule chance you haven't heard of it.

                        With that said, i bid you farewell.

                                Sorry no rec

                                  And as a contribution to this thread, this time, let me offer you a source, think of it like a coal mine of sorts, except expect the harvest to be a good e MC with a capital E which is only buried in tons of antiheroes retardations and suicidal mary sues. I said only because this time you only have to dig out about ten pages of fanfics instead of the usual thousands from archives or frying your brain in trying to search manually.

                                  But without furtherado, it's this guy's list.

                                    This one is dropped and only has 50k words but still a nice read for a boring afternoon.

                                    This one is kinda stale with a lot of word count wasted on pointless stuff but still tolerable for the evil protag..

                                    https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13285825/13/

                                    This one is also kinda boring, not to mention the author basically just rewrites canon events almost to the letter.. I kinda wish that the author wouldn’t pollute the masterpiece that is konosuba with his subpar writing but hey, beggars can’t be choosers when looking for evil protagonists)

                                    Now your turn to give recommends)

                                      MyRedeemerLives Although I understand the importance of supporting the authors but alas, I’ve been sailing under the Jolly Rodger even before learning about the wonders of internet.

                                      Too bad for me that I decided to be a Chad and buy an iPhone. So Google apks isn’t really an option)

                                      P.S. Since we’re now sharing paywall content, you should def check out the Kain series by
                                      Edward Wagner
                                      https://www.goodreads.com/series/49228-kane

                                      Though if you ever decide to pick up the series, you should google the proper order to read the books in cuz the chronology is about as fuked up as Star Wars (or don’t, it really depends on personal tastes)

                                        Pretty interesting fan fiction, the author uses SI with gamer system falling into nasuverse. The best thing about it is that it is complete. I also think it fits your criteria.
                                        (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12963199/1/Limitless-Eternity)
                                        One good antihero more: Reincarnator "Description
                                        Humanity has been gradually transported to the Abyss by a bored god to compete against other races and monsters.The problem is… humanity failed. In a last desperate push the strongest survivors chose a comrade to travel as far as possible back in time." (https://www.novelupdates.com/series/reincarnator/)
                                        Korean novel with strong antihero. It is also completely finished.

                                        There are many more Korean novels in which the heroes are evil, I can give links if you are interested.

                                        Buinola But without furtherado, it's this guy's list.

                                            Overlord fanfic: Chaotic Good

                                            SI mc is doing everything to reach his goal to becoming a god.

                                            btw thanks to all the recs!
                                            i had soooo much to read thanks to yall guys

                                            Fus1on ahh Look again then, as do trust me a bit here, this guy is a connoisseur of our taste that has been collecting quite a collection at that particular site. The majority of his collection consists of antiheros(which is ones you need to avoid) or those whose existence is the purpose of this thread in particular.

                                                Although i do notices that limitless eternity and the reincarnator is what you would call an antihero, what with limitless MC being a more overpowered version of kirei, and the reincarnator being a man who's tasked with saving humanity from certain doom.

                                                But i digress.

                                                  And as for my contribution, i shall offer you three offerings of three differing make. A CYOA, an original and a fanfiction in that respective order.

                                                  1.Metahuman inc(CYOA)
                                                  -If you ever wanted to control a megacorporation that deals in technology of both scientific and magical origins then this is precisely a game for you. Also, did i mention that you can become the chosen of a certain eldritch forces that will turn you into both their herald and the most powerful being on earth all at the cheap cost of letting them in and have them and in turn you become the ruler of the world?

                                                  2.Lord of Undeath (an original in RRL)
                                                  -Now i know what you're thinking, "Hey, isn't this just basically overlord's ripoff?". But let me explain, this guy is basically Ainz, i can admit to that, but with a certain twist. He doesn't have that annoying inner voice called humanity in there. He is what you would truly call a lich, fully equipped with a cold hatred against all things living and powerful magic of fire and death at his disposal, this guy is what comes to mind when the word "Lich" is mentioned. Although he is a bit underpowered for now, so keep that in mind.

                                                  3.Black ink, red rose (ff.net)
                                                  -Remember ginny who's only role is to be hypnotized by a book and become harry's wife with neither rhyme nor reason? Me neither. What this offers though is that nameless, faceless, and unremarkable non-amoral NPC be turned into a magical right hand woman of lord voldemort, ready to commit atrocities at the drop of a hat.

                                                  And that's pretty much it. Though i can't help feel that it is a bit lacking both in flair and in quantity. Regardless of it, i shall wish you all a good day (or night depending on which outermost crust of earth you're located now.)
