They also have such a good rating!¡

I will also mention why I'm hesitant and don't start reading them right away.

Once I read some novels from this list I will not remove them, instead I will give my comments so you can see both my hesitations in the beginning and my actual impression after picking them up. Maybe some of you have similiar hesitations so it might help you with your choice. <<less

Novels I've read and greatly enjoyed. I can't call all of them my favorites because there are too many here, but each of them somehow touched the strings in my heart, making me always return to them when I am in the reading slump or desperately look for something similiar. Different genres, mostly all HE. Perhaps not all of them deserve to be put together since some are better and some are worse, but I found all of them extremely enjoyable. ... more>>

English is my second language so I read some of these in different languages, and the translation matters(!!!), some of them don't have decent English translations so you might not find these novels as appealing as I did. 

The order is random, but the most decent reads are probably at the top since I added them in the order how they came to my mind and it's obviously natural to think of the most remarkable ones first.

I'll try to leave small comments if I'm not too lazy~ <<less
