For my friend

Chinese BL set in ancient times, whether an alternate history on Earth or in a different world. These can be fantasy, xuanhuan, xianxia, wuxia, mpreg,... more>> or just ordinary historical. Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Sorted in order of writing quality/personal preference. <<less

Any recommendations are very welcome! All the family/village/kingdom building poor to rich, wealth making business type of stories I've read because this is one of... more>> my favourite tropes of all time! Including any business management! (Just discovered there is a tag for it haha) Its just that usually its not done very well or only the kingdom building is good and the characters and scaling is so bad its not enjoyable to read anymore. The stories included will have things like improving the quality of life of the village/kingdom, introducing modern advancements into an ancient/medieval culture type of place. And with likeable characters to keep you going. I'll only include the novels where I read 100% of it or most of it. Probably won't include any dropped novels. <<less

These are STRAIGHT CHINESE & KOREAN NOVELS in which the transmigrated/reborn/reincarnated MC gain popularity by presenting other people's ideas or works from different world/era as theirs. Please advise if there are any misses.... more>>

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. I also put in some untranslated novels from some favourite poor to rich authors from the jjwxc website that I desperately hope someone would translate in the comments T.T... 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

A few hidden gems ... others not so much but all of them totally worth the read. List spans quite a few genre such as Fantasy, sci-fi, cultivation, management, mystery.... more>>

Not all novels in the list will have top ratings. In my opinion the best novels are rated around 3.2 - 4.5. Anything over is mostly BL or FL with some exceptions. Anything below is mostly tr*sh with minor exceptions of novels for people with very specific taste. 

PS: All my recommendations are based on MTL. I rarely read human translated versions ..  <<less

This list is one were I have read the novel or the manga/webtoon Warning I might not have read both... more>>

Use this list mostly for to find manga because I havent' read most of the novel 

WORK IN PROGRESS THIS LIST IS NOT FINISHED DID NOT FINISH THE RANKING <<less

List of favourites based mainly on:... more>>

isekai in any form (reincarnation etc.),  game elements, overpowered protagonist, country building and management, army building, modern knowledge in fantasy world and technological gap, crafting .

MC is pretty much always in control, always has a plan and always ends up on top. Or just has plot armor.

I don't exclude harems (even bad ones), if novel is good by itself. 

No yaoi. No pure wuxia or xianxia.

I don't include novels that are too short (less than 20-100 chapters depending on chapter length).

Some of novels may not be available on NU or be incomplete, but they are somewhere in web.

Novels are mainly Korean or Japanese. There are some Chinese novels included but they are either heavily west-influenced or not cultivation oriented. Basically, they are not Chinese-heavy if You know what I mean. The World Online is the only exception, as I simply skipped most of boring chapters.

Novels are kind of sorted best to "worst", though last novels on list my be unsorted at all. <<less

Danmei that fully translated in the latter months of 2020 and this 2021. 

This is not in order...

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

I love myself a good, badass fl. There will be reincarnation, reborn, second chance at life or those fl who just masters the art of... more>> living her life to the fullest. This list will progressing as I read through new books.  <<less

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. 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. 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.

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

Just see the tags.. Only add Complete novel (translated or MTL), and no BL/GL. There still some novel in my bookmarks chrome that yet i move here..... more>>
