Hidden gems for me.  Searching needles in the haystack means trying to find very rare thing that you want under harsh circumstances and usually its very hard to find that. No yaoi and related stuffs. No adolescence, ecchi and harem. I have been reading light novels for 8 years or more and I will add whenever I come into something cool. I am up for your recommendations whether its ln or not.... more>>

No order in the list. <<less

Bias towards showbiz/ creative industry (except for idol) & kingdom-building

Mainly novels about MCs reincarnating/transmigrating to the past, whether in their own body or different person to change their life using their future knowledge.... more>>

Focuses more on kingdom building, military history, and financial markets.

*Alternate history <<less

Novels where the focus of the story is about the MC impacting the world (or another dimension) from a third person point of view, and... more>> the misunderstandings that come along with it. The MC is either a god/system/dungeon master/mythical non-human entity/IRL lazy bum hikkimori playing god/etc, with some exceptions. <<less

Mc helps/saves a lot of peoples lives. 

Stories of people focussed on creating and/or maintaining a kingdom or any industry (usually businesses). Most often they become influencial.... more>>

 Some may have romance, others it's not a focus at all. <<less

A really good kingdom building book isn't really about simple making bigger buildings. It's about improving the lives of the people the MC cares about... more>> around them and in doing so improving a nation. There's this heart felt way of doing it so that's what I want out of these books. Some of them do have harems but the female characters are done in such a way that they are fully develop human beings and it's classy or I just enjoyed it. It's really hard to find kingdom or development books like that in this space so I wanted to highlight them when I found it. <<less

My takes after reading 100+ webnovels.... more>>

Male MCs only. No BL. I tend to like fantasy/sci-fi with a slice of life or romance focus the most rather than pure action. I find novels that have nothing but fight scenes very boring. <<less

Currently obsessed with reading these kinda stuff. No harem. No romance. <<less

Novelas de diferentes géneros que son increíbles, al menos desde mi punto de vista.

The list contains the best novels that I read in terms of pleasure, not quality. The novels may be okay, but I prefer them... more>>

After the first place, the order is considered random

I will start documenting my observations about it. They may not be accurate due to the long time that has passed since I read novels years ago. Nevertheless, they serve as a summary of my experience with them. I might attempt to organize them from best to least preferred as well.
"I also do not speak English, so please overlook some spelling errors. I only use translation."

I Have An Impenetrable Fortress IHIF <<less

Novels with a focus on kingdom politics and world building. Sorted by rank. 

My personal list for this niche genre of novels - will be adding as I read. Charisma and leadership do not come easy, but they sure as hell come naturally for these protagonists. Charismatic MCs with significant focus on character and ability growth, kingdom / army / career development & management, and/or wholesome friendships / brotherhood. Romance (if any) will only be subplots, not the main focus. I've put short descriptions and summaries of every novel, plus my thoughts on them.... more>>

Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience. I change my ratings often. Feel free to recommend more or point out any mistakes in my sorting of this list. Cheers!

*[CC] - Collecting Companions, aka collecting and raising loyal companions. Brotherhood, friendship, blablabla. [CC] focuses more on picking up and raising companions without necessarily having to develop a full kingdom/empire.

*[KB] - Kingdom Building. I'll use this abbreviation as a general umbrella term for anything to do with (insert noun)-building and management. [KB] by association would also include raising the people in that empire/kingdom, but the novels focus more on the development/management part. <<less
