just random novels i found to be interesting

(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.

This is a compilation of novels with MCs who received a second shot in life (either gets transferred to another world and/or relives the past) that I find quite interesting among others. I'm putting some notes for each novel too (summary of the plot and a short review). The novels are ranked according to my personal tastes also.... more>>

PS. I'm putting a non-spoiler summary of the plot because when I read others' recommendations list, it's annoying to have to go to every novel's page just to read the description and decide if I like the plot or not lol. Also, in giving a short review, it's helpful to provide the plot as sort of an evidence why I liked the novel and put it in this list. <<less

LN and WN originals of the series in Isekai Quartet

The list of Japanese Novels I have read over 2 years. Wish fulfillment and not. I post ones that I like a lot, or deem good enough to recommend to other people. 
This list contains only good novels that I've read up to the latest chapter available on NU or further(raws), there are ton of novels that i can recommend but I haven't finished them, yet. 
(list in alphabetical order)... more>>

Please point out errors in text, since English is not my native language. <<less

The isekai here is pointed to another world, but not only to the usual Jpn isekai with reincarnation/rebirth/transmigrate MC. It can be the world that's totally not in the earth, and maybe it's not a reincarnation/transmigration and MC is from that world. ... more>>

My ideal isekai novel is the one with the world building as its central theme and the romance is non existent, even if there's romance element in it, usually it's slow and just as unnecessary side dish.

NO HAREM for me. Tho few of them has harem and romance tags, for me there are those that are not romance and harem, so I'll explain in related description instead.

Continuation of the original "Definitive Isekai List": https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8199/?ft=yes 
Still taking that damned break... though I've been reading more now. Isekai that are good are very rare... more>> to find, and I've really gotten tired of the same skyrim over and over again. If you found anything you like from this list, then it's served its job. <<less

This list is for all boy love with primitive setting, not included the ancient chinese. I've finished reading everything I put in this list and... more>> u can see my review on the novel's link <<less

My definitive recommendation list. Par excellence.... more>>

Stories worth a read and my thoughts on why I enjoyed them. 

I'll continue to add to and edit this list as I discover more. <<less

These are my personal takes at novels and my personal favorites. It's important to note that my experience with Chinese novels has lead me to... more>> filter through them so there will be very few CN here. If you think you have any recommendations that can defeat my expectations then please feel free to send them my way. My preferences in terms of novels are basically seen through the tags. P.S. I quit ranking them after #18. Additionally, as I started to add more to this list I thought it was worth noting that almost every story on this list is one that AT MINIMUM you would probably like the introduction. Bad introductions almost always make me not want to read a story and the ones that do have bad introductions probably indicate that I've read far enough to justify putting them here.  <<less

Isekais are fun reads when done right, cringey when generic, and horrible when done wrong.... more>>

Sorted from Best to Worst with the ratings being pretty biased.

Honorable Mentions: The Beginning after the End (NOT ON NU) {4.35/5} It's cool, that's all I can really say.

THE LIST NOW HAS A SECOND PART IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8455/ <<less

No description.

These are the novels that I personally enjoyed, though some of them might not be my favorites, they still had enough influence stay in my heart as a decent novel at the very least... well, most of them. (Also I'm actually back now 2022, got burnt out after reading too much reincarnation paradise)[2023 here, uhhh, oops]... more>>

*Rest of description is for when you enter the list*
{I'm back and ready to fix my younger self's s*upid tastes, some are pretty good though}

(My reviews will not be consistent with the list because I go into the read deeper rather than just a overview, make sure to check my oldest comment, it is also the most liked one, it has the unpublished reads)

[S tier is a 5 star read, A is a 4.5 star read, B tier is a 4 star read, C tier is a 3.5 star read, D tier is a 3 star read, E tier is a 2 star read, F tier is a 1 star read] 

[SS and X tier are special. SS is consistency and intrigue, and X is the top 3 with the SS tier also being applied] 

(exaggerated tier which is a new special tier has been added, this is when I give reads that just started a good tier even when there isn't enough chapters to properly review it, the tier of the read will most probably change someday)

(The special tiers will now be accompanied by a regular tier, Exagg. tier will be accompanied with a Z)  <<less
