I grew up with the development of Chinese Web Novels. In the beginning of 21st century, I started reading online novels, when Qidian set about... more>> expanding its business. Eastern fantasy was my favorite type. In every summer and winter vacation, I would read dozens of them. It was a great surprise for me when I heard NovelUpdates, which gave me the chance to create this list and share with you many memorable fantasy novels serving as milestones. <<less

A list of my favorite novels in no particular order.  Mostly contains completed works with some exceptions. It also contains some short stories that I've read and liked.... more>>

What I look for in a good novel is: logical plot, good pacing, character development and concise descriptions. I'm also a sucker for a weak-to-strong character growth, good action, and romance that actually develops instead of mindless harems.

What I hate in novels is: insane repetition of content to meet character counts, idiotic MCs that make you go "why are they doing this?", or cliche/tedious formulas that endlessly repeat such as:

>> Queue entrance of super strong Villain A that identifies MC as lowly tr*sh and causes trouble

>> MC decides to start fighting while the surrounding audience goes "wow, this fool dares fight with Villain A?!?"

>> Everyone proceeds to shout out the names of their techniques, which sound "seemingly more epic" as the battle goes on

>> Villain grits teeth and uses ultimate move. MC's pupils contract and his expression pales. Audience goes "OMG, I can't believe he forced villain A to use <epic move>?!"

>> MC somehow breaks through bottleneck mid battle and wins

>> Villain coughs up a mouthful of blood with disbelief written on his face

>> Suddenly Villain B, Villain A's father enters the scene and shouts "how dare you harm Villain A?!"

>> Go back to the top and repeat... <<less

List of books that I've completed reading

Completed stories with a focus on action, adventure and/or world-building. I like these stories, but I would not consider them masterpieces. Some stories may be... more>> repetitious, have bland characters, or have an unsatisfying ending. Nevertheless, they are all entertaining. For the top tier, please refer to my [5 Star Stories] recommendation list. <<less

List of works adapted to Donghua anime. (JP works excluded as there are too many)

Badass novels that I read, with strong protagonist. 

These are generally light novels that are good and didn't have too much arrogant character shit.

Some of my the best novels I've read in nearly 4 years. Enjoy~!... more>>

Will try to only add completed novels. Also very open to recommendations. <<less

This is a list of the best translated cultivation style novels I've found. Stories from genres like Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuahuan/LitRPG are all qualified as long as they have some sort of constant power progression that characters deal with throughout the story.... more>>

Overall Considerations:

For a story to be included they must have a great prose, excellent translation, superior worldbuilding, and three dimensional side characters.

Personal Considerations:

I personally abhor evil/edgy/"anti-hero" mcs and so those will not be featured on this list. It's very easy to be selfish, immoral and evil. It's much more difficult to be kind, just and principled when the going gets tough so I find stories with main characters who have a code and stand by it the most interesting. MCs don't need to be paragon's of justice, but when confronted with difficult choices they must display some semblance of empathy and kindness in their actions.

I also love discussions of philosophy and morality and find their inclusion in the context of wuxia and xanxia worlds to be extremely interesting.

I like romance. I dislike harems, but if I have to make a choice I prefer harems to no romance.

I have a personal preference to reading male main characters.

Organization:

I've tried my best to order the list in by considering both general quality of the novel itself and the personal preference concepts I've listed above. I hope this list can help. <<less
