Looking for novels with good development and pace.... more>>

None of that braindead MCs, copy-pasted scenarios over and over, or slow paced stories that drags on forever. 

Inspired by novels like Solo Leveling which got me into this genre. 

List will be updated as I read more. Do comment recommendations if you have any. Completed novel preferred.

Now a classic sub-genre of the Isekai genre, getting transformed into a monster is often accompanied by game elements or ability to evolve...... more>>

2. Realm of Monsters
3. Journey of Black and Red - vampire
4. A Dragon's Curiosity - dragon/human
5. The Dark Herbalist (Russian) - goblin - VRMMO goblin series
6. Chrysalis - warrior ant fighting for queen and hive
7. Threadbare - teddy bear
8. Queen in the mud - salamander with cute magic and city building
9. Demon's virtue - an imp
10. Life reset - yet another goblin - VRMMO like Dark Herbalist
11. I don't want to be the hive queen - Vex (humanoid/ant/zerg?) - [have not read yet]
12. Fork this life - fork [have not read yet]
13. Lament of the fallen - chimeric demon/kitsune/angel - [have not yet read]
14. Vainqueur the dragon - dragon - comedy
15. Parasite king - parasite (not reincarnation)
16. Archaic princess - zerg
17. Everybody loves large chests - mimic
18. Is that a wisp - wisp
19. Tree of aeons - tree - good premise, inconsistent mechanics and lots of plot armour

Classic: Metamorphosis (Kafka) - bug (cockroach?)

If you like this type of story, you might also like Reincarnated as a Dungeon Core novels. You can check my other list if you want to see some of those. <<less

Hi, I am a very picky reader and tend to get bored often if the story offers nothing new. I have dropped countless stories halfway through simply because of how much they were stretching it. In short, I prefer stories which don't go over 2000 chapter limit. If it does, it better have a good reason. ... more>>

Another issues is translation. I can't say anything about translation quality as I tend to read most stories raw. If I like the beginning I might just go to a raw site and finish it there. So there is a great chance that the stories might have poor translation. 

Tags might be a bit iffy. It was hard coming up with them. <<less

Novels I have read or am reading, which include skills, level/game system and/or reincarnation, basically isekai, or just some kind of a similar fantasy setting. It also includes my score for them and what I thought about them which might include slight spoilers(sorry), some 'reviews' are shorter either because i didn't have much to say about them or just because I forgot about them, I was reading novels before i made this account and list, so i've forgotten what i liked, disliked and what took place inside them. Mostly Korean and a few Japanese novels, I haven't and don't plan on reading any Chinese novels, i honestly can't understand the cultivation and divinity thing most... more>> of their novels have so i tend to avoid them. The list isn't in any particular order, the ones near the end are the ones i've read most recently. I will update this list and add novels i like and find worth reading everytime i discover one. Though it seems that a hundred novels is the limit on a list so I've moved on to another one with even more novels there.

A list of novels that I've read or am keeping up with. The list is mostly compromised of novels that contain any sort of future knowledge, as I like smart mcs that use that knowledge to their advantage. I try to find novels with no romance and no harem as they usually either make the protagonists make dumb decisions or make fill the plot with blander plots (in my opinion). The list is mostly filled with Korean novels as I find that Japanese and Chinese novels make the mcs too strong too fast. Some Korean ones do that too but it usually has a more unique storyline, such as "The main character hides his strength"... more>> (yes the title does suck though).There's also a small splash of GL and BL.
