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

After reading like dozens, maybe even hundreds of isekai(more like fantasy), these are some of the good one that aren't that well known, or at least they got unique theme. Ranging from decent to godly one. If you got reccomendation, please put in the comment (I NEED MORE ISEKAI TO READ, or just magic fantasy stuff in general). And sorry I don't read Manhwa or Manhua stuff.... more>>

The ranking doesn't really matter since some of the better stuff might get pushed down as I add stuff. Though I'll try to keep the better stuff at the top. <<less

*in my opinion... more>>

Kinda but not really in order. If you've got similar taste, rec me stuff in the comments! 

I read a pretty wide range of genres, but in general I avoid harem, bad-end/tragedies (real life is depressing enough lol), and yandere (they creep me out). You might find some of the above on this list, but they'd have to be really good.

Updates whenever I read something good (fairly often bc I read an insane amount), but I'm pretty selective about what goes onto this list specifically. Check my reading list for the others that aren't quite at the this level. <<less

A list for stories with minimum conflict and a lot of fluff and healing with cute children and/or animals. No harems. Contains some BL. ... more>>

*Constantly updated. Suggestions are welcome!

**Not in particular order

Fluff level (10= all fluff, no plot; 5=occasional fluff, a lot of plot; to 1=all plot, no fluff) <<less

Upd. May 2023: Latest worthy addition: Fushisha no Deshi (Disciple of the Lich). ... more>>

Upd.:  I encountered several novels that blew up my top ranks in 2022.

I have a specific taste for Isekai novels, and I'm able to tolerate many things and sometimes even issues with the plot, world building and flatness of characters. But what I can say about this list you're about to witness, is that I'm positively able to re-read each and every of this novels, given the time.

In some cases, like Wortenia Senki and Hachinan Tte, I read both WN and LN, but I don't think it's needed to bother adding both versions to this list.

P.S.: While the list isn't fully complete, I'm starting slowly to add my biased comments for you to see.

P.P.S.: My memory is good, but I can still miss your favourite novel, if you think I did (I'm mostly talking about Isekai stuff), feel free to leave comment under the List. Most definitely I'll reply and if I didn't miss it for a reason, I'll add it (at least into my reading list, hehe). <<less

This list contains titles I am reading or have read so far. I will mostly list those I like and omit the ones I dropped or outright dislike and put them in another list. I probably missed a few because I read a massive lot and can't remember every title ^^... more>>

The novels I have read on this site started mostly in the Wuxia/ Xianxia Genre but with time I came to read more and more KR and JP stuff too. As a result, the contents will revolve around the usual genre tropes so I won't bother with a long list of tags. I don't have a lot of expectations for most titles I casually pick up.

What I consider when actually calling a novel "bad" is mostly bad writing ability (author) or translation quality. Otherwise there are some things like excessive NTR, those mostly have horrendous writing/ storytelling anyway. There are also things I just subjectively find boring of course.

I hope the list contains stuff that you may come to like just as I did :)

This list was compiled from a veteran who has read over 50 million words on this website. The goal of the list is to help readers navigate through good and bad books. Generally, anything with the tag R-15 is a terrible novel. ... more>>

Here is some good novel recommendations which is complied on factors such as: how much (percentage) of a novel you will enjoy, how smart is mc at executing plans, how repetitive the book is and how repetitive the book is compared to other novels.  <<less

Finding good fantasy weak(or not so weak)-to-strong novels is a pain. Therefore, this list has been made to help you find the good stuff without having to touch manure!... more>>

Individual reviews are work in progress. If you have suggestions, please give them, I need more reading material. I also recommend checking out anything by Vihyungrang, Andur, or LupineKing on Royal Road. <<less

A comprehensive list of novels I’ve read including, but not limited to: dropped series, BL, smut, good reads, etc. This is my personal opinion and does not always reflect the actual reception or rating of the novel. Listed in no particular order.... more>>

Personal Recommendation Level:

5 — You have to read it!!

4 — Satisfactory

3 — meh 

2 — not my tea

1 — I can’t... <<less

List of favourites based mainly on:... more>>

isekai in any form (reincarnation etc.),  game elements, overpowered protagonist, country building and management, army building, modern knowledge in fantasy world and technological gap, crafting .

MC is pretty much always in control, always has a plan and always ends up on top. Or just has plot armor.

I don't exclude harems (even bad ones), if novel is good by itself. 

No yaoi. No pure wuxia or xianxia.

I don't include novels that are too short (less than 20-100 chapters depending on chapter length).

Some of novels may not be available on NU or be incomplete, but they are somewhere in web.

Novels are mainly Korean or Japanese. There are some Chinese novels included but they are either heavily west-influenced or not cultivation oriented. Basically, they are not Chinese-heavy if You know what I mean. The World Online is the only exception, as I simply skipped most of boring chapters.

Novels are kind of sorted best to "worst", though last novels on list my be unsorted at all. <<less

Well, since I am a girl who enjoy action genre manga and novel, and very recently quite enjoying isekai type story building. I admit that it's quite hassle to look for new decent series without the overload 'harem fan service'.. ... more>>

Here's a few decently one.. And a few other without harem tag that's also quite good.. Fufu..  <<less

Big world, many races, crafting, and travelling. There are exciting moments, funny moments,  even boring moments, finding hidden treasures in a side road shop, heart thumping moments when you met with formidable foes, feeling the vastness of the world as you gaze at the world map, feeling the cultures of locals, fortunate encounters.... more>>

This list seeks the freedom of adventure as much as possible

do try this song, feels very representing this listhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVWapbw_8-0

*Unsorted, there are quite a few series that have their link taken off from novel updates list. Well, just check the google in that case. Or trv vnmeido. <<less

If you are tired of novels that the ecchi comedy, s*upid macho jokes, and constant fan-service ruin the whole plot, this rec list is for... more>> you. Not in any order,I will update as soon as I find more <<less

Brief description of my recommended list will be that it's mostly randomized in genre and not in ranking. I prefer to read action, adventure and camaraderie. I read BL but you'll also be able to see het pairs. I will diligently try to make small comments on the novels that I will put in here as well as my status and how many times i drop and reread the series until completion or latest update.... more>>

Also, the ADHD mention is Undiagnosed but possible cause my attention span is really bad...

Some terminologies I might use while making small comments (will be updated if needed to be):

-FuwaFuwa = stories that have elements, characters, or pairing that are lighthearted or I cheer for them while I read them.

- LR = "Last Read" chapter. |  #oHT = "# of head turn or how many times I actually dropped this to read another story"  |  TiTtR = "Time it Took to Read" |  #oRR = "# of ReReads" 

This list won't be for you if you're looking for wuxia and xianxia. Mostly cause my head can't grasp the terminologies rather than disliking the plot. There would be stories that brush upon them but none that focuses on them so far. <<less

Stuff for her to read.

Mostly KR. I don't care about ratings and genre. 

Relaxing stuff where characters spends most of their time enjoying life.

If you don't like romance and harem novels, then this list might help you find good novels.  This list of Japanese novels is generally of the SOL, fantasy, and adventure genres with the theme of family and friendship.  ... more>>

For example, the adventures of a father and his daughter in a fantasy world.  Or it could be SOL's story that warms the heart.  

Apart from avoiding the harem and romance genres, I also try to avoid red genres as much as possible (genres are forbidden or should not be read by children or under 15 years old) such as adult, mature, ecchi, and gore. But it could be that in the story there is some content as subplots even though it is not the focus of the story. I mean, I'm also disturbed or uncomfortable with the existence of the red genres or similar contents, even though sometimes the contents are a little needed for plot story development.

The following are recommendations for Japanese novels without romance and harem but focusing on stories of family and friendship in a fantasy world. I hope that you all enjoy reading these novels! <<less
