Overlooked and underrated novels that are really unique in terms of either characters, world, story or even several at once and don't have glaring faults.... more>>

Lots of novels are interesting at first but are destroyed by either insufferable characters or a terrible story. Not these. And if you know others like them, PLEASE let me know!

Bad stories and characters are everywhere, good stories and characters are rare, but truly UNIQUE stories or characters are unforgettable and THAT is what I'm looking for after reading hundreds of titles.

People often complain that many novels' characters are flat and fixed. Well, here they are not just really well written, but grow and change over time.

No reincarnations into tr*shy young masters, no sect branches that have bigger branches behind them with sects behind them with bigger sects behind them, no fighting 10 ranks higher enemies because MC is so special, no repeating the same nonsense again and again for thousands of chapters, no all-knowing MC on a rail to the next key-item, no arranged marriages and no idiots to be killed by MC for a back and forth of revenge with family->sect->kingdom->world againd and again.

I've read many hundreds of the most popular titles and they won't make the list because of mentioned issues, or are new and I don't know of them yet.

I made a second list with titles that didn't make it because of flaws but are still a good read.

Ranked in terms of being well-rounded and polished. <<less

A list of stories with main characters who range from selfish and socially awkward to just plain flat-out jerks. Sometimes the author tries to hide it, other times they show off with shoddy justifications.... more>>

no rank over there.

A list of worthwhile titles with at least one brilliant aspect, making them far more memorable than almost everything else around here, but at the same time one glaring fault, which stops them from entering my "Above And Beyond All" list.... more>>

There's no real ranking here, but to me there's a difference between the top 4 and bottom 4.

Please comment below with suggestions of good titles. I'd appreciate that a lot. <<less

Mc is a cunning man when it comes to schemes and conspiracies

No romance mc has no bottom line ruthless evil and selfish mc

No description.

If you enjoy reading books written with care and proper thought process with well-fleshed-out characters and excellent plot development, this one is for you. 

More than just being strong, these protagonists drag everyone else around at their pace.
They do things their own way and flaunt their power to... more>> make that happen.
They are certified badasses. <<less

Novels about MC's who only care about themselves. To them, everyone else is a side character who they don't care if they live or die. ... more>>

*Note: Some novels on this list will have the MC care about literally one person, if they care about more than one it's not going to be added* <<less

- Most has "possessive" tag, blame my sweet maiden hearth uwu, it'd be boring without it.... more>>

- Not all of them revolve around "romance", but has a BL sub-plot at the very least.

- If MC isn't a goner, ML surely is lololol these types are the most entertaining. 

P.s: There's this one novel called "QT: Is It Better to be a Beta?" (beta as the beta reader), it's f*cking great, check it out on webnovel. <<less

Best action, scheming novels with ruthless, calm, and strong protagonists.

Not your typical FL/plot (mostly tragic undertone)... more>>

Order of novels matters (for the first 15 smth, then I won't bother sorting them anymore) PS: Order greatly influenced by the time I read them, how well I remember them and by the uniqueness of the FL.

The tags are for all novels, but not all novels have all tags. The tags represent the things that I look for in novels. It's hard to find all of them in a single novel, if you find 5 in one it's really good, but to find it in 10 it's sadly only a dream.  So if you love one of this novels, you'll probably love the other too even if it's different. Each novel has at least 4 of those tags and other thrilling ones (manipulative FL, aloof FL, genius protagonist, charming FL, sharp-tongued FL, stubborn protagonist, mu*der and crimes, tough past plays an important role, reincarnation, revenge, second chance, mature feeling, mature FL, calm FL, doting love interest, power couple, devoted love interest, seduction)

The similarity between all: 

- not a fragile, submissive, prude and weak-willed FL

- not an a**hole, abusive ML

- not a dumb and repetitive vocabulary and sentences, such as: "obedient", "good girl", "nooo" (saying it just to have smth to say), a lot of s*upid unnecessary exaggerations of curses from antagonists etc

- honest, unconditional love

- good plot/ really good plot/ super unique

- from good to really good translations <<less
