List of novels in my To Read list for my favourite trope, rags to
riches! To my best guess anyway since I haven't read them XD. Also
usually slice of life. ... more>>

I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned
that I will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list
will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be
able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of
having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation
detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can
read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no
translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar
novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. And the incompleted
ones at the back.  Recommendations are very welcome! <<less

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

Personal picks for kingdom building novels.

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

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

Just novels that I've liked. Mostly story driven with minimal romance.

I have re-read some of them and still enjoy them

Been in a hunt for similar premise ever since I read that novel, so here we go

Not sorted  ranking,

This contains the bottom of the main list, All Novels I've Read Sorted By Rating! It was reaching the max limit so I've moved the stories rated 3.4 Stars and below and all the dropped novels here.... more>>

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by best/enjoyed the most to least. The ranking within the same number of stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too different to compare with each other haha. Also, I didn't bother to ranked the dropped stories because I don't want to waste brainpower on that. So if I didn't give a rating, I won't sort it.

The other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank. The reason I want to put my rating and reviews straight in the list is because you can't search for a specific user's review in the novel page if there are too many reviews. You will have to search one by one. Its easier to straight up  see why I put the novel in a particular list plus my review in the list itself. Sigh, novelupdates is really not user friendly. <<less

BL novels where there is a focus on creating infrastructure!

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on novelupdates.

The ranking within the same number of stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too different to compare with each other haha. All in one spot. The bottom of the list that are my lower rated and unranked/dropped novels, I have moved to  a new list "All Novels I've Read Sorted By Rating (3 Stars & Below + Dropped)" due to a list only having a max of 100. The... more>> other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank.

PS: I've made another list to put all the novels I've read rated 3 Stars and below and all the dropped novels because this list is getting long. In the future, this will be basically my Top 100 list. The others will be from ranked 101 onwards. <<less
