Sequence is CN- JP- KR- Fluffy- (Comedy)- Exceptions- To-reads. Not ranked by number. 
My descriptions varies greatly from a gist, polished review, impressions, or explains key points.        ... more>>

[Flexible Preferences] 
A. Protags are somehow mostly male but I read both!- interesting, has compelling qualities, flawed with development
B. Entertaining, Distinct, & Creative
C. Steady premise, no TERRIBLE plot hole 
D. Romance: good execution, pacing, build-up, & evokes emotion; no bullsh!t drama & brain-dead denseness
E. Vital, relevant, fleshed-out characters
F. Comedic & Fun
G. Danger, Wars, Battles, Strategy, Tactics, Trials, Fights, Thriller, Suspense
H. Lore, Culture, Kingdom, Worldbuilding 
I. Political Intrigue, Schemes, Mind Games, Manipulation, Mystery
J.  Pure tragedies rarely - it hurts!
K. No BL/GL(yet?)
L. Can be R-18 
M. Polygamous-like IF great story | even if you're averse consider my recs. ;)

[Criteria]
1. These are (mostly) 4/5 stars in story, translation and enjoyment according to my flawed evaluation that is mainly 3/10 objective, 7/10 subjective.
2. I have perused the novels or adaptation before sharing my thoughts.
3. Writing must be consistent, coherent and engaging and the ending must at least not be sh!t. Clichés to a point are fine however it needs to be purposeful & executed well. 
4. I will keep adding books that are promising, satisfying, translated.  <<less

This is it, yal already know... more>>

Webnovels: f*ck WEBNOVEL, sh*t ASS SITE, PIRACY W

Shadow s*ave: "I can't believe I am still finding good novels to read. This is one of the best novels I've ever read and is f*cking well written. 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

This List will include the novels that I have enjoyed throughout the years. It includes Japanese, Chinese and Korean.... more>>

Before I start, I will give a brief description of what I think is a good novel. Due to these reasons a lot of "popular" and "famous" novels may not be included in the list.

1. No Dense Protagonist. He has to have a brain and a sense of awareness.

2. Good plot and storyline. There can be plot holes but it should not be overpowering.

3. Good character development. Important characters should not be forgotten.

4. Decent romance. It can be harem, but the female protagonists should be more than just Dolls that the MC have collected.

5. It can even be ero, as long as it clears the above mentioned criterias.

6. Most important of all, the novel has to keep me interested till the end. <<less

Another story is: "Tyranny of Steel" The story progress something like Release That Witch. MC makes Austria become a power house by introducing gun technology... more>> in an era of cold weapon. Some reader says its unacceptable since MC does not have super power like the witches in Release That Witch but the author keep mentioning the MC have an almost photographic memory and he is an engineering soldier who focus on technology knowledge. Warning: MC is grooming his teenage fiancé to be his wife. There are s*x scenes too. (Recommended but with warning: Adult/Mature tag.)  <<less

The cream of the crop of novels in no particular order. I'll add in more novels as I find them.

In no particular order. Props to anyone else who has read them all.

Its literally everything I've read or plan on reading. A lot of bl (hehe) and some isekai and adventure themed novels

I find it difficult to find good books, so do you I guess, and ratings are usually deceptive.... more>>

This is my list of best TL reads, hope it helps.
Novels with below 4 ratings: first impression last impression syndrome.

Some books have incomplete/ bad translations but have great stories.(i mtled)

I will keep updating the list. <<less

This list consists of works that, according to my opinion, are masterpieces. I myself am a fan of slow paced novels that tend to start... more>> slow. Alot of the stories here start to get so good later on that I can't even fully express it with words. Also, even though I'm not a fan of tragic or dark novels, some of the ones I've chosen are quite dark and gritty with many plots and schemes. Cheers! <<less

I’ve read too many novels... more>>

Not sorted yet, currently adding reviews <<less

The list below base on my oppinion and long assortment. Personally  I'm picky reader and dropped so many novels becoz many reasons like repetition, stall novel, predicable plots, bad progress storyline, bored, etc. That's why I make this list expecting share and help u to find great and fave novels. ... more>>

The list consist of :

1) Main genres that dominantly story (about 70-90 %) 

2 )Theme - setting this novels eg ancient China, xiaxia, fantasy wold, MMORPG, etc

3) Reason - i will explain why this novels outstanding aspects

I make this arrangement so readers  have can find easier and suitable novels according preference.

I do not read yaoi, yuri, R-18 and world hopping so none of them on list. I mainly read CN and KN so if u search JN u might find little in this list. Lastly i will try to update monthly so u can check if there are new change on list.

List of my fav academy novels.... more>>

Honourable mentions to the following original works; mother of learning, the Author’s POV and shadow s*ave <<less

Great novels that I've read, the top three are all must reads. The rest are in no particular order. If you were wondering why a veteran like me places LMS in top 3 its because that was my gateway to fantasy. Lord of the Mysteries is good to the level that it could be worshipped. The rest are just different genres that I checked out at different points in time. ... more>>

You might hate some novels but people have varied tastes so that's that. Check the whole thing out!

P.S. I read way more but ig 100s the limit so I'll stop here. Fellow daoists- NO JUDGEMENT   ;-) <<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

These are my favorite novels of all time. I have reread these many times over.... more>>

I get that everyone is entitled to their opinions but I refuse to listen any bad things about these novels!!! <<less

No BL and GL... more>>

In no particular order <<less

This list includes the few gems in the heap of ashes and dirt.

My personal opinion on cultivation novels that I enjoyed. Other than #1 and #2 the rest of the novels are in no particular order. Everything... more>> below #11 are novels that I enjoyed for the most part but had some gripes with. <<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.
