Ever get tired of novels where the MC is always running around beating up bad guys? If you sometimes just want a relaxing read where fighting isn't the focus of the novel, then this list is for you!... more>>

*Note: While fighting isn't the focus, it doesn't mean that it is not present at all.  <<less

List of favourites based mainly on:... more>>

isekai in any form (reincarnation etc.),  game elements, overpowered protagonist, country building and management, army building, modern knowledge in fantasy world and technological gap, crafting .

MC is pretty much always in control, always has a plan and always ends up on top. Or just has plot armor.

I don't exclude harems (even bad ones), if novel is good by itself. 

No yaoi. No pure wuxia or xianxia.

I don't include novels that are too short (less than 20-100 chapters depending on chapter length).

Some of novels may not be available on NU or be incomplete, but they are somewhere in web.

Novels are mainly Korean or Japanese. There are some Chinese novels included but they are either heavily west-influenced or not cultivation oriented. Basically, they are not Chinese-heavy if You know what I mean. The World Online is the only exception, as I simply skipped most of boring chapters.

Novels are kind of sorted best to "worst", though last novels on list my be unsorted at all. <<less

List of novels in my To Read list for my favourite trope, rags to riches! To my best guess anyway since I haven't read them XD. Also usually slice of life. ... more>>

I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. And the incompleted ones at the back.  Recommendations are very welcome! <<less

Big world, many races, crafting, and travelling. There are exciting moments, funny moments,  even boring moments, finding hidden treasures in a side road shop, heart thumping moments when you met with formidable foes, feeling the vastness of the world as you gaze at the world map, feeling the cultures of locals, fortunate encounters.... more>>

This list seeks the freedom of adventure as much as possible

do try this song, feels very representing this listhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVWapbw_8-0

*Unsorted, there are quite a few series that have their link taken off from novel updates list. Well, just check the google in that case. Or trv vnmeido. <<less

This list would be filled to the brim with isekai novels that I personally have enjoyed reading at some point. There is no other point of judgement and I might even add non-isekai stuff that I find interesting.... more>>

Note- I'll be adding some ScribbleHub and RoyalRoad recommendations that I found interesting in the comments below.  <<less

The end of days, and the new beginnings.

No description.

This is a list of all the crafting novels I have read over the years. To be clear, the MC must be some kind of... more>> crafter and must make the craft a major component of the novel. I will give some quick thoughts, how far I have read, and a rating so far. <<less

BL novels where alchemy / crafting is explored.... more>>

┻┳|･ω･) RATINGS: 

For me, any rating above a 3.5 is pretty high!  If the rating is 2/5 or below, I put it in a private list.

• 2.5 — 3.0 | 5 = Average (Run of the mill, perhaps not the best written/translated or have generic characters/development, but still readable.)

• 3.0 — 3.75 | 5 = Slightly better than average (Not the best in quality for some reason or another but has a charming point that makes it more fun to read).

• 3.75 — 4. 35 | 5 = Good Quality (High in quality and worth the read! But probably lacking in a certain aspect or just not my usual type of novel).

• 4.35 — 5 | 5 = Great Quality (Must read!!! I rarely give out such scores. So if it reaches this level, it’s a definite favorite for me~).  <<less
