5/5 Star Rating List & a few 4 Star ratings

comments/description/Smut Rating are a WIP

Give me your recommendations in the comments for me to read next :) So danmei can consume my life even more.

Smut Spicy Rating:
[1] - Censored by skipping and can pass as Shounen Ai
[2] - NSFW is there but slight vague due to censorship/minimal descriptions or is very short
[3] - Just enough to say 'oh smut', but abit short and censorship makes you sad. Descriptions of actions & swords C-.
[4] - Spicy, (ღ˘⌣˘ღ). Descriptions of actions & swords B rating, slightly censored and good length of NSWF scene.
[5] - Hot and Steamy （♡⌂♡）. Descriptions of actions & swords A+ with great length of NSFW scene. <<less

To keep track and reminisce. Putting here only those that left a good taste and lasting impression, except the ones not read yet(its so I can read em later). If we have the same taste, please reco me some (≧▽≦). Hard to find good chinese novels, but when you do its quite addicting to read. I'm a sucker for respectful, polite, and elegant mc's who are misunderstood to be amazingly good or amazingly evil or just pure op.( I do mass cleansing from time to time, cause some are not as good as i thought)... more>>

These are random but usually have emotionally and mentally strong mc's. It's also arranged randomly(rank doesn't matter).

Random:#Op mc#Strong mc mentally&emotionally#Transmigration#Sickly mc#Funny misunderstandings#I dunna like scenes#No dumb romance, just smart and simple ones#Wholesome#Fun fun fun <<less

Just some novels I've read. My expectation for novels aren't that high and the ratings below are just my own opinion. But at least I've read through close to the entire novel or latest chapter (as of the last updated) before giving my thoughts. Last updated: 16/10/2023... more>>

A list of LN/WN that are great in my opinion. Beware, lot of them have female character as their main protagonist. Don't know why, but... more>> I like strong female protagonist who lives in fantasy world.  <<less

A mix of novels that focuses on something other then romance, there is Interesting plots, and mostly shounen 
**** new version of list: coming soon... more>>

not well organized, will be soon! <<less

This rec list contains all the novels I have read and considered of high quality in one way or another. Pattern could be seen among the novels I've picked that is that these novels contains non-obnoxious MC, satisfying (to a certain extent) plot, good translation, focus mainly on MC and such. Though I highly rated these novels, there is no guarantee that this list will satisfy all the readers, that is because a good story is a story that provides what the readers wanted or needed. No YAOI/BL elements in the slightest. ... more>>

NB = There are novel series which I've only read their Manga/Manhwa adaptation, and not their novel version. They are noted with MANGA/MANHWA VERSE. Still, I can assure you that these series I've picked still excels in their manga/manhwa version. 

Other recommendations not on NU = Beware of Chicken (10/10), Forgotten Conqueror (?/10) Number One Under Heaven (8.9/10), TBATE (10/10), Skyrim: Dragonborn Within (15/10 absolutely fantastic, a must read for sure), Goddess of Ice; Reborn as Naruto’s twin sister (9.2/10), The Simulacrum (9.5/10), Life in Vain: Jobless Reincarnation (9.6/10), The Second Coming of Gluttony, the First of Vainglory (9.3/10), Redemption's Rose (9.5/10)

Websites for reading novels = Novelupdates, Royalroad, Webnovel, Scribblehub <<less

These are just the novels I have read. Not in any particular ranking, and not all of them I enjoyed. A lot of these are transmigration/reincarnation novel also!... more>>

Some books on here people can argue if they are actually OP or not, since the only real "power" the protagonist has is making REALLY REALLY good food, but if your food can garner you *millions* of views or let you make friends w high official of the palace, then I think that should count right? Let me know what you think, since I'm not entirely sure myself. <<less

The list name says it all.... more>>

I was so hooked to the point I forgot my assignments before I finished reading the translations <<less

These are the novels I had a hard time stopping from reading so I could sleep or work. Ironically some of these I didn't finish... more>> right about when I was almost at the end. <<less

A mixed bag of some of the interesting novels that I read, not adhering to a particular genre. Just like a kaleidoscope, you can see... more>> (read) these novels when you are bored of reading one particular genre of novels. Also, this list is completely  random and not sorted with best novel on top etc.  <<less

Novels I'm done reading. Some of these have manhwa adaptations.

Lista de novelas donde los protagonistas se convierten en personajes casi invencibles, ya sea por habilidades, conocimiento o fuerza.... more>>

Algunas -muchas- veces la invencibilidad del personaje es directamente proporcional a lo absurda que se vuelve la trama. <<less

The following list contains the best Chinese, Japanese, and Korean novels with a harem ending. ... more>>

No netorare or netorase (meaning no yuri development in the harem).

The ranking is indicative of quality.  <<less

No description.

Yes I love Isekai but not all isekai

I mostly read feel-good stories, usually with romance. These stories mostly have OP characters, or the MCs get their way most/all of the time. Some might call some of these main characters Mary-Sue and whatever the male equivalent is as well (Gary-Sue???). But I read and watch things to be happy, so I'm perfectly fine without all the drama. Things can be explored simplistically and gently, not everything needs to be dramatic. ... more>>

Most importantly, if there is romance, then it's actually GOOD ROMANCE. No misunderstandings (or very very little and trivial and is resolved super fast), and there's solid RESPECT for each other in the relationship. Even if the plot's good, I usually refuse to read or watch anything with poorly written romance. If it's written that way to make a statement, that's fine, I understand, but I usually avoid it because I don't need more angst in my life HAHA.

I finished all the Chinese novels that haven't been completely translated because I can read Chinese, so I can guarantee a happy ending. Some, like the Japanese or Korean ones, I need to wait for translations and may be slightly behind. 

But anyways,I'm a sucker for stories were MCs get their ways, at least most of the time, and happy endings. 

I'm not saying they're all perfect, and if people are looking for more serious stories, then these might not be for you, but give it a try to know for certain.

Overall, I enjoyed them.  <<less

Started reading novels since 2016 and this list reflects all things I've read.
