Looking for Novels like Overlord
Basically I wanted recommendations for novels which have an "evil" MC or at least one with a villainous disposition from the perspective of the denizens of the world who is aiming for world domination or something along those lines. Capable subordinates, wars, strategy and the like should be there. Thanks,

Let me suggest the opposite and instead an "evil" Mc that's misunderstood by his people and see him as righteous. "I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!"

I read the first volume and it was extremely disappointing. The MC is a standard Japanese pushover virgin, who has no talents or redeeming qualities. He gets led around the nose by everyone, from a blatantly fraudulent sword master to a desperate saleswoman. He pretends to be evil but is too much of a beta to actually make his own decisions, so he just follows whatever his android/butler tell him to do. The world itself makes no sense at all. He seemingly owns an entire galaxy which is impossible for humans to even comprehend, yet there is no AI, dyson mega structures, alien races, black holes, worm holes or any interesting concepts that one would expect from a civilization that has conquered space. The guide himself is some incomprehensible being that uses his absurd power to torment a standard Japanese cuck instead of powerful people whose despair would actually have some value. Very disappointing.
I'm glad to see you spent so much time telling me you're disappointed. You asked for something like overlord in which no one else suggested anything, for good reason too cuz there's not much out there, so I gave it a shot at something that can kill a bit of time during this pendemic aside from material you probably already tried. ie. the reverse like Dungeon Defence where MC is the competent one instead.
Edit: novel that hasn't been dropped*
