As much as I love normal xuanhuan, there comes a point where you get tired of seeing MCs get ridiculed, abused and chased around by arrogant young masters for 500 chapters at a time.... more>>

Do you want an MC who breaks through realms "like chopping vegetables", slaughters any arrogant idiot suicidal enough to choose them as a target, and stumbles across secret treasure stashes while they're sleep-walking? You've come to the right place!

NOTE: Bear in mind that this is specifically for stories with MCs who get stronger REALLY fast, so I'm not going to include a few series where the cultivation is quick but you have to wait 1,000 chapters between breakthroughs. The only exception is Emperor's Domination, due to how satisfying it is to see the MC faceroll all of his enemies. <<less

Stories in which female protagonists and others are hopefully not one-dimensional i.e. just ruthless, just silly, high-IQ/low-EQ. Side characters (mostly) have lives outside of the protagonist and/or male lead. Villains aren’t downright TSTL. ... more>>

A huge thank you to all the translators who translated these gems and gave me the opportunity to enjoy them <<less

As far as I'm concerned, you can't trust in the overall novel ranking. ... more>>

I am sure there are different reasons for this development. And without a doubt one of them is a female readers' activity. What I mean is that they are much more active and generous in rating, comment section, lists. etc. If you are looking for proof you can try sorting all the novels by rating and here you will mostly see yaoi, shounen-ai, josei, shoujo, romance. Also, many other novels can't escape their influence. I mean, nobody said that they can't enjoy popular seinen novels, right? I am not saying that it's something bad or trying to stop them, but as a normal, straight guy, I can't enjoy the situation either.

So here comes my personal, manlier than even me, top of the novels I've enjoyed reading!

I can't really describe myself as a picky reader, but I have to spend quite a lot of time looking for something that satisfy my preferences. Which are mainly: 

1. No wimp/beta protagonist. (Life is hard as it is. I see no reason to read about someone's indecisiveness and useless tears.)

2. Protagonist with at least average level of intellegence. Otherwise it's too annoying to read.

3. As a litrpg genre fan i've got a soft spot for stories with different kinds of systems.

I guess that's it. <<less

BL novel where I am in love with the protagonists. ... more>>

Few traits of MC that I really like are listed as tags. Though I don’t like stereotype where the MC is an idiot or dense throughout the entire novel and mostly I am into cunning & clever protagonist. 

P.S this is my personal preference!  <<less

Where are my ghosts!? Where are my futuristic worlds!? Right here on this list!! I honestly love horror and sci-fi too much not to make a list with all my favourites in it~ Nothing beats a good game of body part tag or a Sci-fi doomsday/space exploration.  I really love the type of protagonist who sees a ghost and pretends that nothing has happened, or the type that wants to make friends with them. So essentially, even though I tagged smart protagonists, there are gonna be some dumbasses in here :P ... more>>

This list will contain:
- smart protagonists 
- Sci-fi worlds
- many ghosts
- no teenage angst syndrome *cough japan…wait what!?
- no harems
- some accidental yaoi (that contains horror...)

The top 10 are my current favourites and the list is kinda in order? But who knows.  <<less

Anything...ANYTHING...that makes my heart trip with adrenaline and keeps me awake for days out of obsession. Any-thing that seizes my heart with so many giggles, guffaws, growls, and raucous snorts that my dog scares out a string of farts so raunchy that I gag. Any~thang that tears out a f*cking aaaawwww from my sore sore throat and oh very tired vi**atordildofingershandfistummmmcoughcough. ... more>>

Stories and/or characters that refuse to disappear into the foggy marshes of memories long forgotten. These are the worlds that will most likely overrun reality when I get old. 

Note: I have a sliiiiggghhhht obsession with overpowered main characters. But if they end up in this list, I implore you to have an open mind. There's a reason for it. Anyway~I apologize ahead of time Orz <<less

Not in order(but I probably do have some bias lol). Some of these aren't fully translated yet but they are absolutely gems, great quality novel... more>> with good plot and good writing that I think will absolutely worth the wait. I also have a thing for a clever/calm/confident/badass MC, those traits are very attractive and interesting hng  <<less

Here, we don't want excessive paragraphs of world building or long monologues. No harem, tragedy, noncon, or mpreg. Highly unlikely I’ll add anything cultivation or historical (too much text). I like silly but capable MCs and kind MLs. ... more>>
