You may not like one of these novels on the list, people have different taste, but all the novels entered these list by your quality, and how well written they are, at least in my perception and knowledge of how things work, i may be wrong, but i doubt i am completely wrong.... more>>

I know that there are better or worst novels it's doesn't mean you can't like and enjoy worst novels or cliche works with plot armor,generic characters, OP MC and s*upid harem, if it's fun for you go ahead, i personally like to watch bad animes sometimes, and like some people i started reading web novels from the usual Cultivation/Xianxia/Chinese novels, after a while i was tired of the same structure and similar plot from the common chinese cultivation novels, so my taste changed and nowadays i look for other things when i try to read something.

And i do have my guilty pleasure, i do enjoy some isekai or transmigating novels that exist, even though sometimes the system or the world doesn make sense lmao.

Dont mind the number of ranking after the top 3 that actually are my top 3 ever, my favorite novels, the others their positions don't matter that much, however they actually are in the right positions based on what i like the most, but this isnt the list about THE TOP 20 NOVELS AND THERE ARENT BETTER NOVELS THAN THE ONES IN THIS LIST... or something like that. I'm not a native english speaker so everything that i wrote may have some errors... sorry. <<less

I dream of a day I am wealthy enough to fund movie adaptations of these stories.... more>>

These are novels that have elaborate worldbuilding, compelling stories, and dynamic but relatable characters.

I am open to suggestions. If you think a novel should be added, leave a comment. <<less
