Novels where the MC/shou is a day one badass.  Using that big brain energy to mentally curb stomp these scum gongs.... more>>

In the cases where *both* the MC and ML are tr*sh, then if the ML is a tr*sh can the MC is a whole @ss dumpster, and I support that dumpster completely.

Will continue to update. <<less

I am searching for novels. Where mc is Cold, Ruthless, Rational, Pragmatic, Evil- if possible.No Romance, No s*upid MC or SIMP [ a big NO NO ]. No need to help others [ why help? ]. He need to be like human being, greedy selfish and so on [ maybe i just wanna see negative emotions or just people with ambitions as they are compared like that mostly ]. I don't wanna read some romance or lover or harem or anything related story. I want it to be fight, schemes,betrayal, a novel where you can see mc is really smart and is using his brain.... more>>

I DON'T LIKE WHEN MC SHARES HIS POWER OR CHEAT OR SYSTEM OR SYSTEM PROP OR SYSTEM PILLS FOR FREE WITHOUT ANY BENEFIT OR EVEN SHARE HIS DEAREST SECRETS LIKE REBIRTH AND SO ON.

In case you need MTL then head out to:

Here is a list of my favorite action web novels. I really don’t like romance and/or harem in my action focused novels, because it almost always detracts from the plot. So, these action novels have absolutely zero romance or harem. ... more>>

The first five are the ones I recommended to everyone and are the only ones that are in order. The following are more of a case by case basis. 

More recommendations (that aren’t listed on NU) in the comments.

All the MTL I recommend are very readable. I can't stand most MTL, including Comrademao and MTLNovel, so the only websites that I use are WNMTL and Novelhi. <<less

This is not in order...

Lazy characters who are apathetic, severely lack energy and who’s goal in life is to take a nap.

Basically smart + witty + evil + good + strong, often with a tragic past. I like MC’ s that aren’t good or bad, but... more>> both. I hate the annoying self righteous and seeking justice everywhere type the most (not meaning those who just want revenge).  <<less

I'll be adding my own ratings for each novel on this list. The core of this list is the [S] rating. The rest are just additions.... more>>

[S]: Masterpiece

[A]: Very Good

[B]: Good

[C]: Normal <<less

The FL goes through countless reincarnations of the same life, in the same world, making different choices each time.... more>>

+ FL with countless transmigrations in multiple worlds/books <<less

Mostly "toxic" relationships and primarly that of a romantic nature.... more>>

Although the ML's are usually the one described of such acting, the FL's can be too.

Ussually the FL has the upper hand and the ML is a puppy, this also being the preference, but there can be exceptions in the list.

Also novels where the ML's burning affection is not reciprocated by the FL. This can be changed as the plot evolves, or until the end the love won't be reciprocated.

Fantastic realm/ Royalty/Modern world/Ancient times - doesn't matter as long as the FL is not treated miserably, even if there is angst, mixed emotions, bursts of anger, sad and tense moments. The ML lead definitely can not be a total scum and the FL a weak, emotional damsel. This being said, I gladly accept new suggestions that match this genre. <<less

Here is the list of the best translated novels you can find, be it Japanese, Chinese or Korean. (This list is based on my taste and subjective opinion and our opinions and taste might differ). Although I tried to rank it, but you should READ all these novels nevertheless, that's a MUST. ... more>>

This list mainly features novels from two genres : ACTION (mainly cultivation novels) and ROMANCE (preferably tragic romance which leaves deep impression on you) and excludes YAOI/BL (not a big fan of those)

If any novel isn't on this list, its because :

1. I haven't read it yet. (Believe me, I have read 300+ big-ass novels if not a thousand)

2. I didn't like it. (It may be good, just didn't suit to my taste)

Apart from this, if you are looking for ORIGINAL novels, you should give the following a try :

1. The Beginning After The End - By TurtleMe

2. The Author's PoV - By Entrail_JI

3. Supreme Magus - By Legion20 <<less

What you're about to see is the list of books that I enjoyed reading or at least have a good impression of, hell, it can even be my favorite list. The ranking of the list is also done intentionally so yeah I didn't just add them randomly(uhh, well, I did... sort of.) so the higher the ranking the better it is in my opinion.... more>>

Also, It's not all about quality but also the journey and it's my personal opinion so you don't have to comment below about how s*upid I am because I already know that. <<less

almost all bl that i read (mostly unlimited flow)... more>>

teasing gong ,manly shou with beautifully handsome face , apathetic protagonist, the protagonist is not a good man, cannon fodder rebirth for revenge, rebirth strife  to the top, gaming esports, smart couple, good tacit understanding couple, no weak shou, no god father-like shou, smut,  game world, villain quick transmigration, rich mc, no naive characters.

 (Exc from 1-4, the rank is not right, ignore it) <<less

On this personal list, I will put the must read novels in my opinion if you have any question about them just put a comment, ... more>> discord .gg/ NvebMwA5Va: if you want to speak about novels and more a community with more than 340+ members. <<less

A world with deep connection to our current society. Fantasy and Reality combined together to become " Imagination "

Rankings are totally random. It's gonna be updated. It's still a new list so bear with me. Min +500 chapters translated (although there will be... more>> rare cases of some novels having a little bit less chapters). I'm reading Chinese/Korean novels for 6+ years now. If you don't see the chapters don't worry, novelupdates... they don't upload unofficial translations. Use novelfull for reading, it's an anti "webnovel" web site, or other similar websites.
"Preferably" Chaotic Neutral and Lawful Evil MCs. Male MC only. Hate IET novels except for the Stellar Transformations as it was my first novel. Hate cheap faceslapping and arrogant youngmasters. This is a forbidden territory for The Desolate Era lovers.. go away. Chinese & Korean novels only. As everyone knows, there are two different perspectives for a novel review. The true, detailed analysis and the one that is based on personal opinion. The novels on this list, are all selected after detailed analyses, not a personal opinion. They all (seriously) are quality works but you might not like them. It depends on your taste. Nothing is perfect. <<less

Book list, novels where the main characters are completely bad and ruthless (I don't want mc that justifies h24 why they do bad things but just mc that assumes and have no moral or human conscience).... more>>

No romance, to add a new book in my list of books mc need to enter in one of this 3 categories.

If the novel have romance I wil say it, not much author write full evil mc.

Absolute Neutral : Absolute neutral has two definitions : a person who is not inclined to commit wrong doing but who if need be does not hesitate to get his hands dirty after all profits is above all selfishness comes first. Second, he has no emotions he is ruthless no desire only the most rational and mechanical thought.

Neutral Evil : Neutral Evil, he will be very prone to do evils but which must benefit him in some way and will never think emotionally but rationally. Killing people for betterment ect.... have no regrets about the harm done even if the people are innocent.

Chaotic Evil : Chaotic Evil, simple and precise, he commits immoral acts for no reason and has no moral boundaries or conscience, he shamelessly spits on them, he just wants to do evil without reason and commit unparalleled atrocities only for his perverse pleasure.

Don't hesitate to recommend books that I didn't added.

[The order is random]

disillusioned, unflappable, mature, hedonistic, or calm, but not cold, ruthless, or face-slapping. basically mostly reincarnation/transmigration with FL who isn't cliche, doesn't want drama, and has... more>> tired lazy aunt energy. low stakes, fluffy plots, or if there is plot, the FL gets involved reluctantly or minimally.  <<less

No description.

FLs that somehow awaken in a "s*upid novel" they once read. ... more>>

More on the comical and interesting side than the realistic one (besides being transported in a book world, duh). The writing is not really deep and serious, also the books have a similar writing, or feeling.

Light read 

Not all the tags are in the same novel

I haven't read all of them

Gladly accepting suggestions <<less

Not your typical FL/plot (mostly tragic undertone)... more>>

Order of novels matters (for the first 15 smth, then I won't bother sorting them anymore) PS: Order greatly influenced by the time I read them, how well I remember them and by the uniqueness of the FL ( once I get infatuated with her nothing else matters)

The tags are for all novels, but not all novels have all tags. The tags represent the things that I look for in novels. It's hard to find all of them in a single novel, if you find 5 in one it's really good, but to find it in 10 it's sadly only a dream.  So if you love one of this novels, you'll probably love the other too even if it's different. Each novel has at least 4 of those tags and other thrilling ones (manipulative FL, aloof FL, genius protagonist, charming FL, sharp-tongued FL, stubborn protagonist, murder and crimes, tough past plays an important role, reincarnation, revenge, second chance, mature feeling, mature FL, calm FL, doting love interest, power couple, devoted love interest, seduction)

The similarity between all: 

- not a fragile, submissive, prude and weak-willed FL

- not an a**hole, abusive ML

- not a dumb and repetitive vocabulary and sentences, such as: "obedient", "good girl", "nooo" (saying it just to have smth to say), a lot of s*upid unnecessary exaggerations of curses from antagonists etc

- honest, unconditional love

- good plot/ really good plot/ super unique

- from good to really good translations <<less
