List of popular korean webnovels/light novels

<<  Shounen Ai & Yaoi novels  >>
Main Character wakes up / in another world / as someone else / in the past... more>>

- Good plot w/ Happy Endings?

- Check my reading lists cause they're all gathered there. 290+ BL novels and adding more everyday :) <<less

These are my favorite novels with transmigration, reincarnation and second chances as main themes*. I like slice of life, slow romance stories with good world-building... more>> and MCs who are calm, intelligent, not cruel and not too OP (if at all).  
I enjoyed reading the novels in this list but they may not be what I would typically like as mentioned above. Suggestions welcome. <<less

I  prune this list often with  better replacements. Last page has the "updates"... more>>

1. Charm of the soul pets 2. Mechanic 3. Overlord 4. Throne of magical arcana 5. Mage Adam 6. shrouded sea scape <<less

(Actively updated.) When I first started reading on NU, I wished that there was a rec list with long descriptions of the novels so I knew what I'm getting myself into instead of having to check the synopsis of each individual novel. Couldn't find any, so I created one. Here it is. Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience.... more>>

Disclaimer; my "reviews" are my own personal, biased opinions. I'm terrible at being systematic & putting my thoughts into effective sentences, so 90% of the novel descriptions in here are just me rambling. I usually only drop & rate novels after I've read at least until c.35. Also, I like to change my ratings & reviews sporadically. Feel free to suggest more novels and/or argue with me.

[5/5] - Truck-kun would shed real man tears at these masterpieces.

Below [4.4/5] - Truck-kun would shed tears of a disappointed Asian parent.

[3/5] - Truck-kun would hit them (again), maybe then they'll transmigrate and become a better story. Replaceable at any time.

("|| STATUS: [ ]" is my reading status as of typing the novel's description.) <<less

REBIRTHHH, REBORN!, AND/OR. . REVENGE (wait, what?) or just live without regrets. . . OR LIVE WITH YOUR DYING WILL!!... more>>

just some rebirth, reincarnation, transmigration, and second chances novels or any novels that involve living again after dying and all that good stuff :)

(Will not include world hopping.) <<less

My personal list

My reading list and rereading list for historical novel. Historical as in nobles, monarchs, and/or chinese dinasties. Majorities are reincarnation and transmigration. Not all of them regarding revenge.... more>>

If you have recommendation, please leave it in comment. I would be happy to read your recommendation.

I have part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/6824/ <<less

you know what it is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 

Just a frequently updated list of completed Chinese novels that I've finished reading and enjoyed. All of them fall under the romance category and feature a happy ending. ... more>>

Novels in this list may not be fully translated but are definitely worth thie trouble of reading through MTL 

Not ranked. 10/ 10 will read again <<less

Mixed bag. Basically transmigration and rebirth novels who have a better life (somewhat) for the second time, whether through revenge or just living a peaceful life while falling in love. ... more>>

Not only “Transmigrated into novels” type of story , but also stories who in their past life seems like they were a villain or cannon fodder who died unjustly. <<less

No description.

In no particular order, BLs that take place in an apocalyptic world/setting. Quick Transmigrations have the apocalypse Arcs indicated and are placed at the end of the list.... more>>

#19+: Quick Transmigrations <<less

Novels where the MC is reincarnated/ transmigrated/possessed/transported into a Dating Sim/Novel/Game world as a character or something similar to that.... more>>

I said that, but some of the MCs can actually be the original inhabitant of that world (not reincarnated/transmigrated/possessed).

Tell me if i put the wrong novels in this list, since i don't remember all of the details of these novels/ i haven't read some of them. You can also suggest other novels that might fit this list too.

Sorry for the bad English.
This is a non-harem and non-BL list, since i'm not really interested in those genres. <<less

Every time I visit the front page of NU and I see a long title for a JP WN, I know its story and characters are going to be shallow and a waste of my time . I've been sick of the infinite number of the "fantasy RPG" Japanese WNs out there and Chinese WNs that drag on for thousands of chapters. Korean novels tend to be better in that respect by having a unique story and being easy to read without seeing half the chapter used up to describe insignificant details. ... more>>

Yeah there's still some isekai novels here but at least it's going to have good progression and character growth. <<less

BLs that take place in an interstellar setting. ... more>>

#5-19: Cute/Fluffy
#20+: Quick Transmigrations with Arcs denoted.  <<less

ATTENTION!! This list only consist of chinese novels with Female Protagonist, and its sorted by rank, rating, readers, excellent reviews and a little bit of personal opinion! I can assure you that everything listed here are worth trying! ... more>>

Last but not least, i would recommend you to read it on wuxiaworld / readlightnovels / webnovels due to its high-quality translation, quick updates & they have more chapters! Well then, enjoy! <3

PS. Chinese novels with Male Protagonist are listed in my recommendation list; "Best Chinese Webnovels ML" <<less

Try these novels, they're great. 

No slow/beta protagonists, no slice of life.... more>>

Only novels with a decent number of chapters are included.

If you are looking for game novels, please check out my VRMMORPG novels list.

Worthy mentions from other websites:

1) Mother of learning (10/10)

2) The Menocht Loop (9/10)

3) Azarinth Healer (8.5/10)

4) Nanomancer reborn | The beginning after the end (8/10)

Also make sure to read "The Perfect Run", it does not match the genre of this list, but it is truly an amazing novel. <<less
