A twist on the Summoned Hero/Saint cliche. The MC is summoned to another world, only to be told, that the summoners "made a mistake" and... more>> that the MC isn't the Hero/Saint because they either have a skill deemed as useless or are otherwise different from the summoners' preconceived idea of the Hero/Saint. This leads to the MC being increasingly scorned and ridiculed, until they are eventually abandoned by the very group that brought them here. Generally, the MC then either makes a discovery about their seemingly tr*sh skill or otherwise obtains something that makes them into an OP cheat. <<less

Some personal favorites of mine that I find really cute and funny. So I'm sharing it with everyone else.

Novels that aren't being updated and I desperately wish would be picked up

Novels that i really wish would be picked up and translated

Disclaimer: Some of these novels are extremely cliche, loved, and hated on. Aka, you DON'T have to like all of them, or even any of them really. These are just some of the more well-know novels that, I believe, are all worth checking out (lol mainly because of the amount of reads and reviews they have ;P). And walp, that's kinda the whole point of this list >.>... more>>

This list introduces the various popular/common/cliche tropes and genres of the translated novels community. I just want to point out the fact that this list is supposed to cover a wide range of genres and audiences. It doesn't cover everything, but I think most of them are here. I enjoyed these, and I think it's a good place to start reading from. (I tried to have novels for both male/female preferences). While some of these novels may be long, that does not mean you have to finish the entire thing -_- , if you enjoy it, good, keep on reading! If you don't enjoy it, then stop, no one's forcing you to continue.

The list is in no particular order, although I did try to put them into categories ... that kinda worked, ish. Some of these novels are officially licensed, so you may have to get the rest of the chapters from other sources (Google and *cough* aggregate websites *cough*).

Pls don't hate Orz. When I was first introduced to translated novels, everything seemed pretty good to me T^T.  <<less
