For more recommendations, check out my next list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/83142/ <<less

Sequence is CN- JP- KR- Fluffy- (Comedy)- Exceptions- To-reads. Not ranked by number. 
My descriptions varies greatly from a gist, polished review, impressions, or explains key points.        ... more>>

[Flexible Preferences] 
A. Protags are somehow mostly male but I read both!- interesting, has compelling qualities, flawed with development
B. Entertaining, Distinct, & Creative
C. Steady premise, no TERRIBLE plot hole 
D. Romance: good execution, pacing, build-up, & evokes emotion; no bullsh!t drama & brain-dead denseness
E. Vital, relevant, fleshed-out characters
F. Comedic & Fun
G. Danger, Wars, Battles, Strategy, Tactics, Trials, Fights, Thriller, Suspense
H. Lore, Culture, Kingdom, Worldbuilding 
I. Political Intrigue, Schemes, Mind Games, Manipulation, Mystery
J.  Pure tragedies rarely - it hurts!
K. No BL/GL(yet?)
L. Can be R-18 
M. Polygamous-like IF great story | even if you're averse consider my recs. ;)

[Criteria]
1. These are (mostly) 4/5 stars in story, translation and enjoyment according to my flawed evaluation that is mainly 3/10 objective, 7/10 subjective.
2. I have perused the novels or adaptation before sharing my thoughts.
3. Writing must be consistent, coherent and engaging and the ending must at least not be sh!t. Clichés to a point are fine however it needs to be purposeful & executed well. 
4. I will keep adding books that are promising, satisfying, translated.  <<less

Caution: bear the risk of having your taste being too sky-high standard.

Here some of my favorite novels, i tend to like novel without romance, harem, ecchi, or tragedy tags. I also like stories with great side characters rather than just focusing solely on MC. So if you look for those harem seeking protag and usual face slapping novel then sorry~ this isn't for ya...... more>>

P.S (edit 12/21) i removed all novel with romance hints, enjoy~ <<less

Honestly, are there any webnovels that are objectively good? ... more>>

Flawless? Without dragging on endlessly, trailing off into a nothing ending or meandering on with a directionless plot? 

I haven't found many and I sure have read a lot.

A lot.

Many that I'm not proud of. The type of novel that if my friends and family found me reading might cause another Isekai.

But also, in the filth and garbage that I often see festering on NU there are plenty of gems to look out for. 

And plenty to avoid.

Keep In mind all these reviews are just my opinions.

Ps. Check the comments for novel recommendations that aren't on NU

PPs: although they are my opinions, you are objectively wrong if you disagree. <<less

I really wanted to create a list with novels in which the main character plays some kind of acting role and pretends to be a different person, and also novels with MC, which are misunderstood or all of the above together.
I will sort the novels according to these criteria:... more>>

First novels (#1-10) – MC is female. Then (#11-20) MC is male. <<less

goldmine of misunderstanding novels. mostly focus on comedy stuffs... more>>

tag explanation
conscious = protagonist intentionally create misunderstanding
comedy = misunderstanding is funny
amusing = the suffering of that guy... kukuku
realism = the world is alive, its rules are serious, because it's not just opera stage for protagonist.

Noice Novels...they are not in order

These are the novels I've given a try in 2021. I've also only been MTLing for like a couple of weeks so I've only completed some of them. I am of course going to include novels I've dropped and try to say the reason BUT, I have an awful memory so I don't even remember what I read last week, so some reviews might not be too accurate. Also my opinion is sh*t, don't trust me bc I get influenced by emotions, but if I rave about it it shouldn't be too bad, if I dropped it then... that's usually my fault.... more>>

I reached the list's limit so I'm not including certain unremarkable stories... I don't wanna do another list though, I guess I'll just have to stop reading this year. If push comes to shove I'll just replace the novels that I haven't read much of and didn't like.

Also yes..... this is what I read in > 4 months, I need a life and stop reading so much but this was a boring semester and reading was far more interesting than certain classes and just as useful (not useful). I hate myself omg guys don't do this! The way I don't even remember the names of these characters hftguyihio.

This is 96% CN, 3% JP, 1% KR.

✩ A list of horror bl novels at your service! ♡ ～('▽^人) ✩

Chinese novels with MLs that are well-received in the Chinese community, meets at least one:... more>>

1. Rank highly on novels websites like Qidian and Zongheng (mostly QI)

2. Are strongly recommended on novel recommendation websites (eg at least 1k recommendation upvotes or at least 7.8/10 or 4/5 ratings with 1k reviews)

3. Commonly recommended on forums, search engines and blog posts (eg zhihu, sohu)

Notes:

There are novels that meet the criteria but not included like Lord of the Mysteries and Perfect World. May add them in later.

I picked the novels according to what caught my eyes (mostly comedy) or have more well known donghua adaptations (eg soul land, btth) so there may be many novels not mentioned

*Well received may not always mean good or well written, they may just be wish-fulfilment, OP-MC novels that generally cater to many, therefore, highly ranked. (eg popular 'junk food' novels).

This list is used as a compilation for me to ‘try out’. I will update my reviews if I’ve read something here. While I may not have read the novels, I may have read/ watched the dongman adaptations. <<less

Novels with high-quality translations and plots that give a satisfactory face slap (the list is not in any particular order)... more>>

- Predominantly BL (with Happy Endings)

- Any non-BL that I find interesting 

- Binge-worthy  <<less

Being an idol/actor/superstar is hard work on its own, never mind the impending threat of death hanging over your head if you don't succeed in being the best. Follow our MCs as they go through the trials of failures and successes to achieve to be the greatest of their (somewhat forcibly) chosen careers. ... more>>

Includes: Romantic subplot - NO ROMANCE - BxG - BxB

A series of BL novels with varying plots and subgenres! Fluff, unlimited flow, xianxia, historical, quick transmigration, transmigration, supernatural, slow romance, comedy, mature (in terms of thinking and actions), etc. ... more>>

Minimal amount of angst and dogblood (if there's even any) (￣▽￣* )ゞ

Edit: I may have taken a bit of a liking towards angst nowadays... only a little. ( ˘︹˘ )

BL's I REALLY LIKE based on my own preference, and *coughs* I don't like s*upid MC's (*￣▽￣*)

Personally, I like MC's and ML's to have equal footing in terms of their overall personality, I don't like delicate shou tropes that much. 

And in my own, very subjective opinion, these novels have really good plots, or at least most of their logic is in the bounds of normal human logic. 

Note: Novels are not sorted according to rank, just depends on what I remembered first _(:3」∠)_ <<less

Most promising novels that I'm excited to read this year! 《《o(≧◇≦)o》》
