A list of novels that I've read or am keeping up with. The list is mostly compromised of novels that contain any sort of future knowledge, as I like smart mcs that use that knowledge to their advantage. I try to find novels with no romance and no harem as they usually either make the protagonists make dumb decisions or make fill the plot with blander plots (in my opinion). The list is mostly filled with Korean novels as I find that Japanese and Chinese novels make the mcs too strong too fast. Some Korean ones do that too but it usually has a more unique storyline, such as "The main character hides his strength"... more>> (yes the title does suck though).There's also a small splash of GL and BL.
