that sounds more like a villain tbh
SPOILERS
Helped his brother in law get better
Saved his in law family from ruin
Made the body-transmigrated's family live a happy life
Save and get revenge for the body's best buddy. A mega op body but very stupid friendly guy (retard)
Didn't kill an enemy old man when he lost and even collaborated with him later on
Allowed the women with STDs in the territory to have basic respect and a decent life for their remaining lifespan (as they helping him with task)
Was sad as he basically know methods to cure them but sadly technology isnt sufficient

Helped THOUSANDS of "retards" that are in fact people with a secret-blood, awaken their blood and becoming the perfect machine of war that don't follow any order (even suicide order would be obeyed without hesitation)
Married too the kind maid that FL1 send to "marriage night" to replace her
Didn't hesitate to risk his own life, even self-injecting a deadly disease, all for the dangerous bet to delay the enemy so his loved ones can escape to a safe zone. Even near died, as he turned delirious, to the point of telling past-life random infos (irl infos) that dont make sense.
SPOILERS
Slapped women
Poison enemies
Cut the balls of arrogant people coveting his wife
Human beings are born evil, only law and rules are sole reason we arent fighting all the time
Saved the nation a few times
Helped a harshly bullied prince change his situation
Arrogant against the emperor/king but still keeping a close relationship with him (whipped punishment but in fact allow hidden armor)
Used poison, bomb, STDs to kill high-targets
PUNCHED / KICKED a arrogant princess because she hurt FL in duel
Raped her when she returned home, hence causing a break in engagement. And because of drug/darkness, she can't proof it's MC.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
From details, and some sentences far later. Its basically half-telling that MC acting like a flirting douchebag but in fact he got a pure heart, he never truly coveted other women, but is just a façade. Even to the point he flinch when target flirted back.
The prologue. Basically explained why he became that evil-like. Because only people that experienced despair and suffering, know human race is a shitty race, and also its better to be kind to closed ones compared to random strangers.
It's not official stated but when all details tell something, there isn't a need to clarify it. And is better this way.
There isn't a need of author to write MC crying and thinking he just want a family or wanting peaceful life.
Because all actions and numerous details, already told the truth to (smart) readers.
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Isnt anti-hero, a villain with bottom lines ?
The fact you can't recognize one is probably because
Look like you never saw a TRUE anti-hero. That is why you can't understand the taste of a good one.
Every anti-hero protagonist novel I read in this website had a protagonist that is straight up a villain instead of an actual anti-hero. The term "anti-hero" is used on individuals who are willing to stoop as low as villains (be it murder, deceit and such) as long as it is lead by a good motives and goals. This does not mean that they will kill their foes no matter what, if murder is avoidable, they would avoid it, killing a douchebag just because they are a douchebag is a douchebag move. Hell, most ""anti-hero protagonists"" on this website is only driven by revenge (which may be satisfying to read but don't belong to anti-heroes). What I'm saying is that I just want the anti-hero protagonist tag isn't filled with stuff that belong in the evil protagonist tag. Is it too much to ask for protagonists that aren't straight up evil, do have morals and ethics, and don't prefer unethical methods even when they are avoidable
Btw
lot of korean series have great anti-hero
because unlike china, they didn't suffer CCP censoring
Btw, china WNs could have had ton of masterpieces
if not for the censoring
Looking at all the 2023 good chinese WNs, and the recent chinese ero novels (old one:
https://www.novelupdates.com/series/dragon-blood-warrior/)
its easy to tell ton of series could have bloomed
Also funny detail people don't know.
Faceslap or nationalism. Sure lot of authors are hardcore that like that.
But lot of author also write that, ONLY BECAUSE IT ATTRACT POPULARITY (of crazy brainwashed chineses by ccp)
Its like some very strong jp artists, do furry because they receive lot of high-paying commissions.
Once saw a author note being normal speech, heck even smart, but the plot of novel was full retard characters.
And another author had like 5k view for a smart MC novel but for the other work of shit nationalism novel had like 200k views.
Now in 2023, the censoring is relaxing, (though porn banned, a genshin 3d-model artist was arrested recently)
but still there.
Ex : assassins purging evil is more common plot to appear, but one author explained he was warned and forced to modify back so its NOT real world but a earth game world MC was transmigrated into, with npcs acting like true people [Author : "Just imagine they are real people")

If you want shota and loli heroine anti-hero
There is
https://www.novelupdates.com/series/great-tang-idyll/
A rare early masterpiece
that escaped CCP Censoring
Is a rare C NOVEL where author wrote about irl china corruption (MC is scammer and mention sometimes that in "past life" the shittiness of the country) (he is in favor for the chineses but doesnt support china itself, in short people)
A rare novel where MC-FL are true masterminds behind the scenes
I was about to recommend my novel shamelessly. But then I realized my MC isn't an anti-hero, she's just a straight up asshole
Should i guess its Reverend Insanity ?
I have no clue why people liked RI and good MCs so much
but anti-heroes seemed ignored or disliked (no deadpool movie yet)
Where "History strongest husband" series i favorite so much, was discarded in a corner of NU without translation. Despite sticking in ranking of raws for years.
Crappy cover, title, summary's faults i guess. And crappy first small arc.
