Chinese Novels #26 - #53
Japanese Novels #54 - #70

* There might be some s*xual tensions towards side characters but mostly it views the improvement of the main characters
* Novels like this just focus on the plot and battle towards mc's main goal and shenanigans but most of the novels here are my male protagonist 'to be read' and I hope you guys find something that suits your tastes <3 so yeah happy reading ^^)/ <<less

Where the MC gets a second chance at life and becomes extremely op. Or they're a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu pissing off a lot of people with their beauty and skills. most of the novels are just the MC scheming and going on powertrips lol. you wouldn't need much of your comprehensions skills so take a seat, relax and enjoy the read :)... more>>

This list resumes the chinese novels I have liked so far. Many may not be here for two reasons: a. I haven't read it; b. I really haven't liked it. ... more>>

Be aware, if the novel isn't tr*sh, it takes a lot for me not to like a Chinese Historical Novel. Btw, you might find one or two unusual participants in this list but it is probably because I have enjoyed the novels or many elements in it.

I accept recommendations, so please leave some comments!! I will keep updating every week! <<less

Mariscales espaciales / Generales + MC

Most of these are slice of life novels, focusing on building/raising/expanding territories of any kind - can be kingdoms, tribes, farms, havens, empires, and nations in apocalypse, modern, fantasy, historical or interstellar ages. Main character can be humans and non-humans (zombies, animals, etc.). In no particular order.... more>>

Does not include the following: (1) Novels with storyteller/MC adventuring all over the place, familiarizing to the new environment (a.k.a. world touring) yet NOT building own haven and (2) Novels whose storyteller/MC are only passively affected by territory building and not actively expanding it.

Have fun reading. :) <<less

No description.

This is all shounen novels, whether middle-aged or modern time! \(･◡･)/ Also a lot of transmigration, rebirth, or maybe the mc is just a real resident of that world. There is some of harem or bl, but mostly the mc have no love interest so rest assured! Well, sometimes I tolerate some novel with harem because it's too good even though I don't like the genre very much~... more>>
