Sampling a large variety of Novels "genres"... more>>

Providing 1 or 2 novels for each type of novel that I enjoyed

Mostly to remind myself of the things I enjoy when looking for a new novel or if someone wants to try new things <<less

With numbers, mc killed his own way. 

I love to read the genre of Kingdom/Army building novels. I like to see loyal subordinates, plot development, army formation, character development, kingdom building elements... more>> and use of strategies in wars. <<less

Novels that are in this list mainly have to do with some sort of territory management or kingdom building. The BL romance in these novels might be a subplot or play a bigger role in the story. If I find some novels that have these things outside of NU I will include them here.... more>>

Rankings ;

Active ; Novels that are featured in this list, are still being updated regularly 

Hiatus ; The group that's translating a novel puts it on hold for awhile

Inactive ; If a novel hasn't been updated for more than two months, It'll be labeled as Inactive but I'll still keep it within the list. <<less

Essentially, either a weak or strong protagonist has subordinates or people who are all very loyal and protective/possessive of him. Most of them are stronger than the MC. There are mainly male protagonists, but female protagonists are included.... more>>

NO HAREM OR ROMANCE-FOCUSED NOVELS! Contains mainly friendship or comradeship-focused Novels.

Other Novels/Mangas that can't be found on novelupdates: Eleceed (Manhwa), How to Survive as a Terminally-Ill Dragon (Manhwa) <<less

The cream of the crop. No BL. Ranking after the first page is largely the order I remembered and added them. I think they’re all... more>> worth reading anyway so I didn’t put a huge amount of thought into rankings past the first page. I added small reviews/blurbs with my thoughts on each. <<less

No Romance. Some has a little but are more focused on the plot or other things. 

This list includes web novels focused on making money (or bartering in the case of more primitive settings) using modern knowledge. Some of them are small-scale business owners, whereas others create kingdoms and focus on macro-economics. 
Some are gxb, others are BL, but barely any harems!! The harems included are basically inoffensive. I usually stay away from game elements like systems or cheats, but they're kind of inevitable in the genre. ... more>>

All of them are completed on mtl! 

On other websites: 

-Lady of the Lord From the East 

- The Landlord and His Wife 

- Mountain People  <<less

Completed Female MC (in main site/raw) with Good Story 

As an avid wuxia/xianxia/litrpg novel reader for the past 8+ years these are some of the best of the best out of the hundreds I've read. I personally enjoyed the journeys and some even have somewhat decent endings. All are mostly completed novels, with a few enjoyable ongoing ones, arranged from highest rated to lowest. Most are worth the read. Of course these are all my own personal preferences, everyone has their own.... more>>

Also a few highly recommended Novels outside of NU you may enjoy (see synopsis in comment section):

1. Mother of Learning

2. Shadow s*ave (S-L-A-V-E)

3. Supremacy Games

4. The Primal Hunter

Disclaimer: These novels are highly addictive and can get you lost in and immersed in their own worlds resulting in a lot of personal time/life wasted, read at your own risk. <<less

Female MC with amazing power / abilities that can give effect to the whole country. And everyone knew what she was doing or who she is.... more>>

She did amazing things. Example :

Hello there everyone . the light novels presented in this list are by no means perfect, each one of them has its flaws and i... more>> chose them based on my taste and the rankings do matter quite a bit.                  <<less

Well built worlds with good (or at least decent) storylines. These are stories with detailed worlds. These worlds might be based around a game, the future, or fantasy world but all (to some degree) are set in a complex world. Some series on this list include game elements, politics, slow romance, drama, action, and more.... more>>
