Anti-Hero and the likes

[Kaylaoshizz]

Helloo,

I’ve been very interested in books where the protagonist isn’t your everyday “let’s save the world and be as nice as possible”. I need nihilistic and unhinged people. Not quite villainous but more as in they couldn’t care less about the consequences of their actions. Exemples are Boy Parts by Eliza Clarks or My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh.

anything is welcome and the more bizarre the book is the better it is.

I've heard that Mark Lawrence's The Broken Empire trilogy is from the perspective of an anti-hero, though I haven't read it myself. Oh, and you might like to check out The Riyria Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan, and of course the Witcher books. The former features a thieving duo, one of whom is rather cruel and cynical if I remember correctly (I read the series a long time back), and the latter features a charmed monster-killer trying to navigate and balance a world undergoing some kind of vital change and therefore full of moral complexity and ambiguity. I haven't read the Witcher series either, except the two story collections that precede the series proper, but they build up the tone and atmosphere very well, so based on my judgement I'm hoping you'll find what you're looking for. Happy reading!

The style of writing is bit artistic and might not suit everyone, but it does fit the vibe. The MC doesn't really care about sacrifices on the way. He is quite unhinged and some substance abuse is not helping him staying sane. I only read the first book because I felt like I need a re-read before going on. It did seem like he would get even worse as the series progresses.

The Court of Broken Knives by Anna Smith Spark

[Henry Patrovic]

Death’s Favourite Warlock by Charles Dean. The main character starts out as an average morally right character, but get’s slowly twisted by the voice inside his head and the promise of power. It’s a fantasy litrpg book with a side of humor

[I Like Fiction Books]

Disney Cruella: The Manga: Black, White, and Red by Hachi Ishie is great if you want to read a graphic novel. I wouldn’t quite say the main character spreads havoc over London, but she is rather unhinged and an anti-hero. The graphics are beautiful and there is a nice plot.
