3. Reverend Insanity — 74 votes
Insanity, bloodbath, schemes, manipulations, conspiracies, complex plots, and the cruel, witty, and intelligent main character, I am sure you won’t find all these in other novels except Reverend Insanity. Reverend Insanity is one of the kind. It’s a unique story with fantastic storytelling, an excellent world, and character-building as well as a highly detailed plot.
There’s no jade beauty falling for the main character in this novel.
Antagonists are not some cliché short-tempered idiots, they are intelligent too but unfortunately, their schemes fall short when compared to the main character.
