MCs that are already OP from the start, or that become OP in very, very few chapters. They may or may not know about their own capabilities, but are feared and/or respected by those around them. Also, this is a simp-free zone, no NTR, no cucks. Waifus, though, are allowed. ... more>>

Lots of cultivation novels, some have comedic undertones that usually go well with "misunderstanding protagonist clueless about their own power". MC is famous, MC is considered to be the demon king, MC is a sect master, MC has loyal subordinates, overpowered and feared MC, etc, are the kinds of settings here.

They are in no particular order. List updates as I read them. <<less

Here is a list of my favorite action web novels. I really don’t like romance and/or harem in my action focused novels, because it almost always detracts from the plot. So, these action novels have absolutely zero romance or harem. ... more>>

The first five are the ones I recommended to everyone and are the only ones that are in order. The following are more of a case by case basis. 

More recommendations (that aren’t listed on NU) in the comments.

All the MTL I recommend are very readable. I can't stand most MTL, including Comrademao and MTLNovel, so the only website that I use is Novelhi. <<less

Deep plot, good apocalypse setting, characters are incredibly lifelike, interesting and diverse. An actual f*cking masterpiece currently. Enough said." #0.5

Paragon of Sin: "Very very very very good. MC is cool, not very generic, a different feeling all together while still being a cultivation ln. Also dude is just incredibly op but still feels like its deserved idk not for everybody and this is coming from a guy who hates disgusting op mcs off rip. Enough said." #1.5

Birth of the Demonic Sword: "Falls off at the end but rly cool, dark, and powerful mc. Enough said." #10.5

Divine Emperor of Death: "Man has cheats but somehow it doesn't take away from the overall story. Harem as well. Enough said."   #18.5

Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner in the Apocalypse: "Very similar to God and Devil in the beginning but then changes for the worst, it feels like a self-insert type thing. Also the mc is brainless and s*upidly op. Enough Said." #26.5

Chao's Heir: "From the same author of BotDS and it greatly dissapoints. There's so much things wrong with this one that it would take me a day to get into the details. Do not read. Enough said." #40.5 <<less

I'll be adding my own ratings for each novel on this list. The core of this list is the [S] rating. The rest are just additions.... more>>

[S]: Masterpiece

[A]: Very Good

[B]: Good

[C]: Normal <<less

Thrash novels are too prevalent, that's why I made it easier for everyone and just made a list of in mea sentetia novels that actually do have great plot or those that stand out from their peers. These are the must reads. ... more>>

PS: Honestly just read Brandon Sanderson, George RR Martin, Robert Jordan, Patrick Rothfuss, etc. for actual good fantasy novels.

Got bored, so I figured I'd make a list of some of my favourite novels. They're not ranked in any particular order, though the ones I like more will probably be nearer the beginning of the list. ... more>>

Most of these novels will no doubt be familiar, it's unlikely for there to be any hidden gems here. This isn't really meant to be a list of recommendations, more of just me wanting to put some thoughts down regarding novels I like. That being said, if you want to read them (if you haven't already) because of this list that's your prerogative.

I just noticed the somewhat obvious lack of KR and JP novels. Nothing against them, I just don't like the endings for most KR novels, or I just haven't finished them. I'm not that big a fan of JP novels either, dunno why.

A small generic reminder: This list is just my personal opinion, I cannot guarantee that all (if any) of these are any good, and I encourage anyone who decides to read them to form your own opinion on them. <<less

All stuff I've read till the end and ranked by personal preference. The ones at the front are more accurate, the ones at the end are unsorted. ... more>>

My preference: Meandering slow-burn novels like Mao Ni's stuff get extra points. Harem/romance/face-slapping power fantasies get minus points. Completed novels get bonus points, and terrible endings get points knocked off. Also plus points for character building friends/family/enemies and down points for solo yolo.

English ones not included in rankings: Worm, Pact, Mother of Learning, The Perfect Run, Twig, Lightning is the Only Way, Master this Poor Disciple Died Again Today, Unable to Cultivate I can only Raise Soul Pets

MTL-only: Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind the Scenes <<less

i got so bored cause i couldn't find any more well known wuxia novels that interests me anymore so i'm making this list to sort... more>> out some of the lesser known novels that interests me to read. keep in mind i haven't read any of these novels yet and i might never read some of them i'm only throwing them on this list because something piques my curiosity. if i read any of these i will leave a comment on it and maybe write a review. (and fyi i did sort out these with a certain criteria, which were novels were martial arts genre had cultivation and excluded harems)  <<less

Chinese Novels about reincarnation, got a second chance, transmigrated, woke up in another body.... more>>

I want to share my personal list of  Chinese novels! <<less

I am a big fan of the "sect" genre. Here I will list a few of my favourite novels of the genre. These novels... more>>

- feature a protagonist that is a cultivator of a sect

- describe the development (or decline) of the sect

- involve master/disciple and seniority-based relationships

- play with the passing of passing of time and span across hundred of years

At the bottom I also list "false friends", novels which don't fulfill the promise of their title and fall short the glorious genre of sect novels.

[The order is random, but I read and enjoyed all of them for at least 1000 pages.] <<less

The one's listed here are 10/10 must read novels

A rolling list of the novels I've actually liked enough to recommend.  I like intelligent male protagonists without much hubris.  I appreciate capable antagonists, unintentional... more>> humor, and an unpredictable plot line.  I like my heroes to win, my villains to lose, but I want it to be a real struggle. <<less

Mc and fl basically supporting each other. No throwing tantrum or meaningless drama. Unconditionally trust each other.

List of novels I've come across, as far as I could remember, in no particular order(Wish I did this when I first started reading novels so I could list everything I've dropped/loved)... more>>

Note: This isn't really a recommendation list. As mentioned in the title, I'll only mention if it's good or bad with no particular explanation because this list is mostly for me... and that I most probably forgot the details on the novels listed here lmfao. 

Most of the "On hold" are novels that has something I don't like(petty or not... well, mostly petty since I'm petty) which makes me stop reading, but put on hold in case I want to read it again(is what I had in mind). It just accumulated because whenever I try to continue to read some it just makes me remember why I put it on hold in the first place and stop reading it entirely, but still have enough hope to not drop it.

Not on NU:

Teaching Heroes Might and Magic (Wanna read) (Hiatus)

I Don't Want To Court Death (Ch. 72) (Good) (Hiatus)

Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (Ch. 255) (On hold) (Good) 

Abyssal Lord of the Magi World (Ch 105) (Dropped, prophecy bs)

Unnamed god (Ch. 168) (On hold)

Immortal's wine store (Vol. 1 Ch. 131) (On hold)

There are the stories that I love the most or don't cringe too much remembering them xD. Most are Xianxia/xuanhuan but I got some light... more>> novels I like too, a bit of everything I like. No evil protagonist, no game novel, only a few systems, not a lot of fast pace only action books. The first ones are slower and more elaborate.

Martial arts, magicians, and more–books that I love.... more>>

No harems cuz I despise them with a burning passion :)

Novels that are plot-heavy with skillful world building... more>>

May involve fantasy elements such as elemental abilities, ranking systems, magical creatures, 

Martial Arts and Wuxia/Xuanhuan elements such as cultivation techniques, arrays

Characters may include Gods, Demons, Sages, Sects, Cultivation Masters, Martial Masters,  Kings and Imperial Family members

Found family & friendship themes are especially dominant amidst trying times like wars, battle between good vs evil, quests on saving the world

Romance may also be included but I don’t particularly like harems.  <<less

To read or not to read; that is the question. The continuation . . .
