Looking for novels with good development and pace.... more>>

None of that braindead MCs, copy-pasted scenarios over and over, or slow paced stories that drags on forever. 

Inspired by novels like Solo Leveling which got me into this genre. 

List will be updated as I read more. Do comment recommendations if you have any. Completed novel preferred.

(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.

I have collected the few stories with reasonable & moral characters and character development. In most of these stories, the powers  MCs have are earned... more>> not given. I have avoided harem tags like the plague, due to many cardboard cutout supporting characters. However, the few stories with harem tags listed actually have characters with at least 2D/3D personalities. almost all of these have a rating of 4+ as the quality(rating) is more important than the quantity(popularity). Incomplete stories can be pirated using nyaa.si, vn miedo, ect. <<less
