Beware a lot of this are going to be “second chance at life” type of stories.... more>>

All the novels included in this list are completed.

Isn’t only limited to straight relationships.

I’ll add a short review of each novel. <<less

ah yes, the misunderstandings and cognitive dissonance... more>>

The list is ranked from most like Cale's personality to the least like Cale's personality.

I'll use the following criteria (doesn't have to meet them all):

1. Found Family (FF) = Collects friends and allies like it's the easiest job in the world (BONUS [FF+]: if said friends/allies care about MC so much that they are MC's family truly)

2. Self-Sacrificial (SS) = coughing up blood/dying/getting hurt gang (BONUS [SS+]: if friends/allies heavily disapprove of MC's self-sacrificing habits)

3. Self-Deception (SD) = the Cognitive Dissonance that makes us stan cale (BONUS [SD+]: if MC is an unreliable narrator/undermines themself)

cale: I'm so selfish...i just wanna be lazy and slack off. 

cale: *saves the world*

cale: hold on....where did my slacker life go?! 

4. Slightly Tsundere, but mostly Calm (TC) = in other words, that Warm Heart

5. Strategic Type (ST) = plans out things to better their situation

6. Crazy Bastard (CB) = would do things (BONUS PTS [CB+]: if those "things" benefit others) that only someone with almost no self-preservation would do

7. No romance at all (No Rom) = not looking for no one, just friendships, anything is allowed, as long as it is PLATONIC THROUGHOUT the story

BONUS: Comedy (C), GAP MOE (GP) = yes you don't know how much i love this trope so much, System Administrator (SA) is involved <<less

First part of this list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/29483/... more>>

- Once again, it is ordered by ranking, not by which one I like  the most or whatever.

- I go through phases when reading so sometimes you’ll see a lot of showbiz shenanigans or a bunch of ETL tropes. Honestly, it’s just what I’m feeling at the time. 

- Also, if you see the last updated date is from long ago, that doesn't mean I've dropped this list. I have phases of reading so I'll go through webnovel reading phase and that's when I mass read and update the list. 

- I also add novels that I haven't necessarily read but watched/read the drama/manhua/manhwa adaptation. This is because I know if I liked the adaptation, I would like the novel immediately bc by law, novels/original is the best of them all. <<less

No description.

Novels that feature a main character that has either transmigrated or reincarnated. This list contains both BL and non-BL novels. Each novel has been read... more>> by me prior to being added to the list. <<less

Hasn't read yet or finished. But like to continue to read someday.... more>>

Wasn't sure about story quality. <<less

Everything I've read and would read again + why... more>>

I dislike weak MCs and MLs who are essentially a yandere stage prop. However, that's not to say that none will be included in this list because the thing I most value is an interesting plot. <<less

Sometimes, romance and the many love interests make good novels mediocre or rubbish, so this list has the top novels that either don't have romance at all, just bromance or some romance but no harem.... more>>

All of them are action and adventure novels or both and are at the top of any series ranking list, so happy reading! <<less

This list is subjective, based on my preferences in analyzing novels as a whole, such as aspects: characterization of characters, world building, plot and other... more>> aspects. <<less

Random Plot : Seinen, Shounen

If you like novel which has scheme and conspiracy in Ancient China of Royalty/Nobility. Then these are the list of my fav novels that i already read complete.... more>>

Well, don't worry. MC's that i choose are not weak, wishy-washy, pushover nor soft hearted. My MC's are powerful. If they are getting bullied, they will pay back 100 times. <<less

BL, Shounen, Action, Psychological & E-sports (+ others)... more>>

-Can the Protagonist do it themselves?  Yes they can.  Can they figure out their own problems? Yes they can.  Incompetent?  Helpless?  Foolish?  You must be speaking about someone else.  My Protagonist CAN do it. <<less

List in no particular order of the best Chinese novels set in Ancient China. With palace entrigue, political scheming and surviving the inner court. Well-rounded and sometimes morally ambiguous main characters, who grow and develop along their partners.... more>>

-All these novels have been completely translated

- BG BL GL all included.

-List will continuously be in the making, if you find any other novels like the ones listed below, do recommend (Though I've read almost all of them). Keep in mind, that only the novels with completed translations will be added in the list. <<less

These are my fav novel recommendations of Ancient China. Imo, these novels are good and rather satisfying both story and MC personality. In these lists, none of novels have any naive and s*upid MC. And every novel has satisfying face slapping drama that relief lung and heart.... more>>

Even though in Novel Updates, these novels mostly aren't complete, you can find on another sites for complete chapters. Because i only list novel which are complete. <<less

what happens when good story and good mc meet? you have this list.

No rankings! All random order... more>>

Just a list consisting of characters who apply to at least one of the following tags as stated in list. Some characters will have all 5 of the applied tags, others only would have 1 tag at most. Some might only be ‘slightly’ cold or calm but still will be on this list, alas falling under the category. 

The story will consist of all types of novels like the typical Korean transmigration stories to the angsty danmei. All types, infinite flow, a deep slice of life I keep my word…
Currently updating so more stories will come on here, will try to find some hidden gems, I have been on this site for a while and have only just made an account so you will have to bare with me, as I try to find those stories I have read a long time back

Also would be very nice if anybody reading this recommended anymore stories to add onto this list as I have been desperately searching for actual decent stories with this tag. Surprisingly not many stories actually fulfil this tag successfully and I rather not add some derelict dull 2000+ novel with op mc, rather stories that will captivate your interest <<less

Really good danmeis that all bl lovers must read!

MOSTLY:  Rebirths • Transmigrations • Dog Blood/ Drama • Revenges/Face Slapping
[ONGOING LIST]

Reading novels and leaving some thoughts. This is not very deep, mostly to keep a record of the novels that I have already read. Some... more>> of the novels were abandoned, some just read to a point where I thought it was the end that I wanted them to have, mostly were finished. Everyone is welcome to leave recommendations at the end comments.  <<less

Infinite flow + horror + supernatural

My favourites :))))))))))))))

Bl novel with unique character designs, amazing romance and great plot.... more>>

My filters are,

1. Smart characters 

2. Unique or not boring relationship

3. Amazing plot

Even though one had downgrade but other two got hight points, I will still recommend them. But if the characters, specifically main characters are dump, 'high kick to the out of space.jpg'. <<less

mostly kr action with little to no romance

FLs who only wish for eternal rest or those who just have no more expectations.... more>>

Unemotional, expresionless, daring and unafraid.

Or just FLs who don't give a f*uck

Depression and depiction of cruelty. Mainly tragedies. Some could have more depth and clarity with a better translation or writing, but better then the same old plots. <<less

As title says Lesbian/gl/yuri novels list with science baby/magic biological child between two women (no futa means women with men's organ or women turning into men/men turn into women or child other biological parent being a random sperm donor)... more>>

Yes, proper yuri biological children between lesbian couples, like straight couples children in novels! please do add titles if I miss any titles in bracket condition. <<less
