Novels not on NU: 

Author's POV 5/5

Supreme Magus 4/5

Chrysalis 4/5 <<less

This list contains titles I am reading or have read so far. I will mostly list those I like and omit the ones I dropped or outright dislike and put them in another list. I probably missed a few because I read a massive lot and can't remember every title ^^... more>>

The novels I have read on this site started mostly in the Wuxia/ Xianxia Genre but with time I came to read more and more KR and JP stuff too. As a result, the contents will revolve around the usual genre tropes so I won't bother with a long list of tags. I don't have a lot of expectations for most titles I casually pick up.

What I consider when actually calling a novel "bad" is mostly bad writing ability (author) or translation quality. Otherwise there are some things like excessive NTR, those mostly have horrendous writing/ storytelling anyway. There are also things I just subjectively find boring of course.

I hope the list contains stuff that you may come to like just as I did :)

[I have not really ranked the entries] <<less

These are the works that I enjoyed the most. I believe they are gems that must be read.

The list is the place where I put my every favourite fantasy novel. Since they are novels I have read myself, they are sorted according to my evaluation (๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ✧... more>>

Some novels exclude romance but some include it. Still, I can guarantee that the romance parts are not excessive, some are elaborated modestly while some are just the so-called harem (though the MC doesn't seek for it). So if they're not to your liking, just skip them.

All the novels here have good to excellent plot with decent translation, so, though it's a pity, many novels with good plot but crappy translation couldn't be included in this list.

I hope you enjoy it  (*´﹀`*) <<less

wtf is up with that list name???

Big world, many races, crafting, and travelling. There are exciting moments, funny moments,  even boring moments, finding hidden treasures in a side road shop, heart thumping moments when you met with formidable foes, feeling the vastness of the world as you gaze at the world map, feeling the cultures of locals, fortunate encounters
Good stuff or not is for you to decide... more>>
