A list of novels I like so I don't forget. Not in order. I try to not make this similar to FIEND's and other people's list but there aren't that many decent ones with no romance y'know. ... more>>

Some novels : Since The Red Moon Appeared, The Damned, Supreme Grandpa, Is That A Wisp?, Spending My Retirement In A Game.

P.S. I still haven't differentiated quick transmigration and world hopping so I could be mistaken about some. Thank you for understanding. <<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

In order for a novel to appear on this list it has to meet at least 1 of these requirements:... more>>

1 - MC is evil or antihero

2 - MC focuses on (or at least is greatly influenced by) some sort of evil or dark power. For example, necromancy, demonic powers etc.

------------------------------

Not on NU, but still counts:

1 - Supreme Magus;

2 - Lord Shadow

3 - The Nightmare of Alamir

4 - Only I am Necromancer

5 - Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner in the Apocalypse

6 - Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as Vampire Dragon with a System

7 - Super Necromancer System

8 - Hero of Darkness

9 - Divinity Against the Godly System

10 - Re: Evolution Online <<less

Interesting stuff I'm keeping an eye on for updates (Not in order)

For all the dark-themed novel lovers, Who are tired of those Plot armor Mc, who are almost brain-dead and use their lower body to do the thinking. This list will give you an entry to some fine dark novels. ... more>>

Novels that fall under the category/theme that shows the 'Dark' side of humanity and the Main Character must also be on [~Neutral to Evil Faction~]... more>>

Since this is gonna be a collection of known novels that I obviously not read yet... I will 'automatically' rank them based on their current 'Star Ratings' [Of course feel free to debate which should be higher on the list and which should not, As we all know... ratings can sometimes can't be trusted]

Novels with no description means only one thing of these two; either I have not read that Novel in question or I have no time to add one <<less

Serious/Seinen themes with as less cliché elements as possible. Preferably clever and calm MCs. No harems, maybe one odd love interest but nothing frivolous. Negligible... more>> comedy tropes.  <<less

Overlooked and underrated novels that are really unique in terms of either characters, world, story or even several at once and don't have glaring faults.... more>>

Lots of novels are interesting at first but are destroyed by either insufferable characters or a terrible story. Not these. And if you know others like them, PLEASE let me know!

Bad stories and characters are everywhere, good stories and characters are rare, but truly UNIQUE stories or characters are unforgettable and THAT is what I'm looking for after reading hundreds of titles.

People often complain that many novels' characters are flat and fixed. Well, here they are not just really well written, but grow and change over time.

No reincarnations into tr*shy young masters, no sect branches that have bigger branches behind them with sects behind them with bigger sects behind them, no fighting 10 ranks higher enemies because MC is so special, no repeating the same nonsense again and again for thousands of chapters, no all-knowing MC on a rail to the next key-item, no arranged marriages and no idiots to be killed by MC for a back and forth of revenge with family->sect->kingdom->world againd and again.

I've read many hundreds of the most popular titles and they won't make the list because of mentioned issues, or are new and I don't know of them yet.

I made a second list with titles that didn't make it because of flaws but are still a good read.

Ranked in terms of being well-rounded and polished. <<less

These are the books that made me want to live within the world within the book.  ... more>>

Anyways, I really enjoyed reading them to the point that I want to remove the part of my brain that remembered reading those finished books so I can relish in rereading them again and again. Argghh!! 

*Honourable mentions: Books that I have mix feelings about, it's like, hmmm, I liked it 35%-45%, and dislike it 50%. Maybe it felt bland to me in some ways, or the way they wrote didn't really give me the chance to immerse myself in their world. 

*Entry: Books that introduced me to WN and LN.  <<less

Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists... more>>

More info on what i am searching: (The title may not be entirely accurate.)

Evil mc ( someone who do not care about other people, and can do anything for his goals )

Ruthless mc ( someone who do not hesitate to kill )

Neutral mc ( Neither a good person, nor a bad person, But care more about his own profits, Rational-Pragmatic type of route )

No Romance ( For this one, i also mean, less romance or none maybe, as well. No romance and no female lead are different. )

No Heroine ( i will use this word for those novels where there is no female lead. ) This is a word you find usually in mtl.

Since i have used all these tags, then the novel i will recommend can be any one them or maybe mix of a few or all. I will leave some info in most of em, so you can know which one it is. If i just go to search books that are no romance or such tags, i can get too many books, but in this list i will recommend only what i know or what i have read or think is unique.

Book lists order might be messed up as i continue adding book, and even then order will be based on my personal liking, so treat it as non-existent and read the one you like more.

Thank you ^.^ <<less

What can I say I love evil mc that are power focused 

✿ A refined collection of the most illustrious novels to date. Most, if not all, include a series of the precursor elements below:... more>>

- A primarily homos*xual theme. 

- Fully translated, or at least semi-translated. (MTL perhaps)

- Takes place in a xianxia, wuxia, or similar fantasy-esque settings. Historical and militaristic settings are quite abundant as well. Modern--maybe only a select few.

- Good relationships and even better drama. 

- The more dark, problematic themes, the better.

(I also want to make it clear that although I do rank the novels on this list based on how much I liked them, even if I give a book a low rating they still made it to this list so they're still worth reading! i have only come across ONE novel that was so unbearable to read that It couldn't even be listed here lol)

my fav horrorr/tragedy <3 (beautifully written)

A list of worthwhile titles with at least one brilliant aspect, making them far more memorable than almost everything else around here, but at the same time one glaring fault, which stops them from entering my "Above And Beyond All" list.... more>>

There's no real ranking here, but to me there's a difference between the top 4 and bottom 4.

Please comment below with suggestions of good titles. I'd appreciate that a lot. <<less

Good novels, but have a lot violence and are generally more mature

What happened to Mary Stu cardboard cutouts just powering through things? You're telling me these people have likes, dislikes, and even weaknesses*? There's no way!... more>>

*Likes, dislikes, and weaknesses may not be applicable—terms and conditions may vary <<less

Novels that have interesting plots.

Some are cliché. Some are original. Some are in-between. Anything goes as long as it is in my taste.

BL with dark and/or mature themes. Reader discretion is advised.

with the male leads just cause they are called a villain in the blurb or by others- they don't actually seem like villains or the author skims over it and doesn't  write much... more>>

 so I wanted to dedicate this list partly to those EVIL ML's who are involved with killing a lot, borderline mad, are constantly doing bad things and there's is a bit more description of such things

Usually you can see this where the male lead is sometimes genuinely mean to the MC and we see MC struggle being around them
also I'm including torture, cruelty, or just kinda both are evil lets-take-over-the-world-together kind of romances 

lets burn in hell together .... <<less

I mean, you nasty...... more>>

Basically made this because where even are the mpreg books???? <<less
