Hey, I'm new here and I've really gotten into reading light novels.
Getting to the point I'm looking for light novels where the MC is not really evil, but has a twisted personality or is messed up in the head. I'm particularly looking for light novels where the MC starts
pretty weak.

I'm looking for light novels with MC's like in Arifureta, Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari, Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, Re: Monster, and Konjiki no Wordmaster so light novels where the MC has seen some shit. biggrin

All of the MC you mentioned weren't evil, they just have their mentality a bit messed up, the guy from Arifureta may be able to kill anyone who is a enemy but he still is really good with his party, the one from Tate no Yuusha had a time were he didn't trust anyone but when he started opening to Raphtalia he showed that he still was a good guy, at least to his companions, the one from LMS just has a twisted personality, he cares a lot for his family anyway, Re:Monster is a bit different but he isn't that evil, just lawless, he does what he wants, Konjiki no Wordmaster's is rude, arrogant and all but he isn't a bad guy that uses his powers evilly. The title says it better, they are just evil-ish, not actually evil.

I suggest you change what I pointed out, anyway, going to the suggestions,
Suterareta Yuusha no Eiyuutan (Novel): he is the most evil character in a novel like Arifureta, he was used as a bait, killed and reborn, and now he wants revenge on his classmates.

I'm trying to remember more but I can't remember anyone else to fit, maybe Shinka no Mi (Novel) but it has not progressed enough for me to know.

Some of them are "softcore" evil.
Must be a polar topic. But please search the forum(http://www.mangaupdates.com/search.php) a bit before starting topics. Your wishes are sometimes answered already wink .
Edit: So if this is the direction then http://mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Manipulative+Pro tagonist for you.

None of them are evil. Some are angsty. And some are pragmatic. All of them are antiheros. But I can't be sure. Find a better word to describe what you actually want.

A hero like the one you described in what you liked would be Grisia from The Legend of Sun Knight.
