After reading on NovelUpdates for 7+ years, this is my ongoing list of novels that were actually worth my time. I will mark which novels are for casual reading or not worth re-reading.... more>>

- No specific genre or plot types. 

- Mix of het, BL, and novels with no romance for the protagonist.

- Some healthy and some not-so-healthy relationships, but this is fiction!

- Some are more plot-heavy with lots of feelings, while others are for casual reading or a break from tragedy. 

- Novels by MXTX and any novels with official English localization not included on the list. <<less

The best of the best (imo) danmei out of all the danmei I’ve ever read before.... more>>

I would give all of these 5/5 stars. <<less

No description.

From quite good novels to novels that you can't missed.

(Not sorted by rank)

With e-sports being such a popular genre, I thought I should create a rec list for it. This list includes online gaming, video games, and game streaming. ... more>>

What makes this list different from other e-sports rec list? Nothing! BAHAHA 

So why am I making this list? Because I felt like it! 

- hope you enjoy!

- I’ve tried to include all forms of love. But this list contains more BL since it seems like many of the gaming novels are BL; sorry if this doesn’t suit your taste <<less

No description.

danmei only

we love women in male dominated industries

I made this list for all the readers like me that hates waiting updates for ongoing series. So I mostly look for completed novels to read and created a list for everyone that is looking for completed BL stories. ... more>>

I mostly like reading light and fluffy story so most of the stories listed are either light, sweet and fluffy. There are some psychological that I tried to read but aren't many.

Anyway, if you're looking for completed stories then you're in the right list. <<less

My favorite e-sports stories

No description.

Shooting games, MMORPGs, and holographic games only. ... more>>

There are a few variations, but in general unlimited flow/survival games, variety and other game shows/competitions are not included within this list! 

Note: Not in any particular order. <<less

List of E-sports/Gaming danmei that I've read/been reading/yet to read. It's based on my own preference so the ones at the top have satisfying fluffy... more>> stories. I'm not a fan of angst/sad stories as I have a weak heart so these novels are full of fluff but there is one that's full of knives within the story. But all these are HE so I'm still happy. I hope you enjoy them too!
Also a note: I wanted to draw a clear line on e-sports and casual gaming. From my understanding, e-sport novels give important role on competitions and in-depth explanation on teams and gaming elements. The game is a very major part of the story. While casual gaming on the other hand, focuses more on romance and less on the gaming features in the novel. This is only for my list so that people who browse this list would be able to browse easier.  <<less

No description.

Reads I thoroughly enjoyed. There's a vast array of genres here, from mystery to historical to e-sports/gaming. A commonality in most of these picks: smart... more>> couple, intriguing or fun plot, "believable" plot in the universe the author created. All of these, I would love to experience reading again for the first time. <<less

Stuff I wanna read :D

*READ DESC*... more>>

*3-5 STAR RATINGS ONLY, MOSTLY 4 THO* 

- This list includes novels with the e-sports and gamers tag, whether the MC is the one in the spotlight or whether they are in the background as long as the tags are present I will add them. Recommendations are welcome

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

[DESCRIPTION] –The description of the novel.

[ROMANCE] - Indicates if there is romance in the story or not. I always base the novels that I read if it has good romance, since in some instances the romance completely ruins the story for me and sadly makes me drop the novel. In addition this helps categorizing what kind of romance genre it is, i.e yaoi, yuri, straight, shounen ai. 

[STATUS IN Country Of Origin] – Indicates the status of the novel whether it is completed or still ongoing, as well as a to compare it to the tl status.

[TL STATUS] - Indicates how far the translation team/person are. I added this in for I was sick and tired of sorting the story status to completed, finding a story that piqued my interest, then finding out it the tl chapters available aren't finished yet, really puts a frown on my face :( #stopthetranslationrickrollTo note I may be a bit late in updating the tl statuses as this list has many novels and I simply can't keep track of all of them.
