"Criminal" can be based on IRL laws or in-world laws

Submissions
Cale Henituse from Lout of the Count’s Family
Submission: An essential part of absolutely every plan he makes is to steal his enemies' stuff lmao 😂
Dragon half-blood from Lout of the Count’s Family
Submission: So much attempted murder, some successful murder presumably, kinda cannibalism (does it count as cannibalism if you eat other intelligent species?..) but consider: hes BABY (he's like 900yo) and hes a SOPPING WET KITTY CAT
Wiki Link
Fang Yuan from Reverend Insanity
Submission: He actually isn't my favorite I mostly like bai ning bing from this webnovel but please appreciate all of this man's crimes someone on Reddit compiled
Links Submitted: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, Link 4; Wiki Link
Gu Mang from Remnants of Filth / Yuwu
Submission: It's complicated... Defected from his kingdom and became an enemy general, killing who knows how many of his former comrades. Stabbed his lover in the heart. Shipped back to original country and punished for high treason. There's the spoilery reason, but he was still branded a criminal and a traitor. Anyway, I love him, one of my favorite characters of all time, and you all need to love him, too. Stop sleeping on Yuwu, people.

He Xuan from Heaven Official’s Blessing
Submission: Deceiving the emperor, kidnapping, decapitation.

Hua Binan from The Husky and His White Cat Shizun / 2ha
[No propaganda submitted]

Ilvalino from I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villainess’ Older Brother
Submission:
Was trained as an assassin since childhood, already did assassinations by the age of 6.
In the original story - an otome game - he continues with this career until he's 17, and is known to kill people for minor offenses such as bumping into him or stepping on his foot. Moreover, in his route, he's driven insane by inner conflict and kills all the other capture targets to be alone with the heroine.
In the story after titular reincarnation, he's picked up by the reincarnator/MC instead, and ultimately quits assassination altogether - although, again, he already Did Some Murder by that time.
Jiang Yexue from Remnants of Filth / Yuwu
Submission: Incest, kidnapping, mass murder, use of the Zhenlong Chess Formation, curse casting, etc.

Jin Guangyao from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation
Submission: "All my life, I've lied to countless people and I've harmed countless others. It's just like you said. I killed my father, killed my brothers, killed my wife, killed my son, killed my teachers, killed my friends---I've committed every crime there is!"
Wiki Link
Jun Wu from Heaven Official’s Blessing
Submission: This is MAJOR SPOILERS for Heaven Official's Blessing- but as for his crimes, just like. All his actions as Bai Wuxiang were so iconic. Jun Wu was so single mindedly focused, he manipulated so many people and brought so much death, destruction, and despair to ruin Xie Lian's life and to turn him into a Calamity like himself. It's the dedication to the bit for me, he wiped everything from his disastrous past and became emperor of heaven. Jun Wu had all of the heavenly court fooled and under his thumb for centuries and played the part of the caring mentor/father figure to Xie Lian all while gladly placing the cursed shackles on him.
Wiki Link
Kim Kiryeo from The Hunter of the Other World Who Is Being Misunderstood
Submission:
Kiryeo is an archmage from an alien civilization who was reincarnated on Earth. During his period of adaptation he is mistaken for being one of the extremely strong S-rank hunters, even though in reality his true magic capabilities are far more meager. After failing to convince the people around him that he's actually very squishy and weak, he decides to lean into the misunderstanding and falsifies the government records stating that he is indeed ranked S.
Among the many crimes he's done, some notable ones are:
Commited at least 5 murders (mostly in self defence)
Attempted to steal a corpse. Succesfully stole a different corpse and accidently exploded it in a research accident.
Commited tax avoidance for a whooping 40 bilion Won
Agreed to help the police in a raid on illegal narcotics trade because he wanted to steal them from the crime scene, which he did.
Kiryeo also calls himself a war criminal, and admits to causing near extinction of 3 separate inteligent species back on his home planet.
Ling Wen from Heaven Official’s Blessing (TGCF)
Submission: Created the Brocade Immortal, orchestrated the downfall of her predecessor, aided Jun Wu. Girlboss.
Li Xian from Female General and Eldest Princess / FGEP
Submission: Ran a secret organization of spies, set up 20 soldiers escorting her back home to be killed by said spies, pretended to have been attacked, gave a vital shipment of food and supplies meant for her kingdom's besieged army to the enemy, framed innocent civilians of treason to improve the reputation of her spouse who caused their deaths, deceived the emperor, faked her spouse's death, faked her own death, etc...

Mo Ran from The Husky and His White Cat Shizun
[No Propaganda Submitted]
Crimes: where do I even start. World domination? SA? Murder?
Qi Rong from Heaven Official’s Blessing / TGCF
Submission: I mean... He dragged a literal child through the city on the back of a carriage. And he kills humans and eats them. He's pathetic. He's basically a cartoon villain, it's pitiful and that's why I love him
Wiki Link
Qiyan Agula from Clear and Muddy Loss of Love / JWQS
Source: JWQS Wiki
Submission: So many crimes... She is really the criminal of all time…
Sha Qing/Luo Yi/Li Biqing from Sha Qing / The Killer of Killers
Submission: Serial killer who kills serial killers with their own MOs.

Shen Jiu from The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System
Submission:
Murder, arson, child abuse... Look, some of those crimes were justified (stabbing Wu Yanzi) while some of them were absolutely not (giving a kid a flawed cultivation manual so that he'll die of qi-deviation). But Shen Jiu's life has twisted him so that he believes he's irredeemable, and he hates himself already, so he's just going to do what he wants, okay?
"First, he'd been a rat forced to swallow its anger, cringing while awaiting more beatings. Then he'd become a gutter rat, scurrying back and forth as everyone chased and hit it. No matter how he changed, he ws a rat; cowering with its tail tucked between its legs, unable to see the light; letting years slip by in vain, squandering its time and life."

Shen Zechuan from Qiang Jin Jiu
Submissions: Character of all time. He's done a lot of crimes, but I'll just mention that one time he put a guy in a cage, poured boiling water on him, and sliced off his skin piece by piece while he was still alive.
Wiki Link
Shi Wudu from Heaven Official’s Blessing / TGCF
Submission: stole someone's fate which inevitably led to the death of that person and their family, immoral enrichment with complete disregard for other people's lives (capsizes their ships if they haven't offered him enough)
Wiki Link
Wei Wuxian from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation
Submission: Okay, okay, I know, but the submission rules state that innocence doesn't affect eligibility. Wei Wuxian is innocent of...most of the charges against him, but he is branded a criminal by the cultivation world (and does fight against them).
Wiki Link

Dealer’s Choice
Choi Noah from Villain Hides His True Colors
I know pretty much no one’s read this novel, but Choi Noah was a young child who awakened the “Gamer” ability due to trauma. He literally thinks he’s in a game & is absolutely unconcerned with common sense, including the laws. He repeatedly kills “mobs” and “monsters” (usually other humans or humanoids) for “coins.” In his first life, he became the first EX-Rank villain and teams with a devil trying to take over the world, who later betrays him for being “too evil.” The story starts with/right after his death as he “resets” the game to return to age 12 and ends up becoming a hero to “win the game.”
Gwon Ohjin from I’m Not a Regressor
“If he had to ignore his conscience for the price of living, he would do it any day.”
- Chapter 13
This novel starts with Lee Shinhyuk, the final Awakener of a vicious battle against “the Heavenly Demon,” choosing to regress to kill the Heavenly Demon before so many people died. To do so, he asks a powerful goddess to bestow him her stigma, and once he regresses… he dies. Right in front of the unawakened, scammer Gwon Ohjin he had met years before. Who also happens to be the Heavenly Demon and the Owner of the Black Heaven, which can devour others’ stigmas.
If you’ve put two-and-two together, you’ll know that Gwon Ohjin’s Black Heaven absorbed the stigma that no one had managed to live through being bestowed, causing said goddess to assume GWON OHJIN is a regressor. He isn’t. He doesn’t know what’s going on. But he IS a scammer, and he sure as hell isn’t going to let the goddess know he stole her stigma off of some dead guy.
Crimes: thievery, fraud, murder (and probably more lol)
Lee Sookyung from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
No propaganda prepared yet
Van Cromwell from Just Because My Apprentice is the Strongest, Doesn’t Mean I’m Strong Too!
Mod Propaganda: Committed fraud (pretending to be an S-rank) that’s punishable by death just to stay with his childhood best friend.
