Most of the finished novels are translated, generally it is more comfortable and fun to read this way. I feel sad when my entertainment like this is interrupted.... more>>

There are many more novels I have read that do not appear on this site, although I can only share 100 of them here. If my readings increase enough to fill another 100, I can make a second list, there will be no further additions for now. <<less

In no particular order!

How I spent my time in the last 4 years.

List of best xianxia novels I've read. Novels sorted ranking-wise. No boring personality-less protagonists (excluding IET protagonists). No insane plot armors. No two-dimensional villains. Most either don't have harem, or have less focus on it.... more>>

Look into the comments for more recs as these books aren't shown on Novel Updates <<less

The list contains the best novels that I read in terms of pleasure, not quality. The novels may be okay, but I prefer them... more>>

After the first place, the order is considered random

I will start documenting my observations about it. They may not be accurate due to the long time that has passed since I read novels years ago. Nevertheless, they serve as a summary of my experience with them. I might attempt to organize them from best to least preferred as well.

These are novels that I read. Though some of them I have already dropped.... more>>

In order of how great they are in my view. 

Status: 

Read - I have read it to completion

Up to latest chapters - always up to date with the latest chapters

Waiting for chapters - update frequency is slow, tend to stack up chapters to read

Unplanned Dropped - Dropped the novel with no future plan for it. May or may not continue reading

Temporarily Dropped - Dropped due to inconveniences, fully planned on reading again

[Order is relative to this list and not the subsequent lists]

Second List: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/6452/ <<less

These are novels that i have read and enjoyed, I dont know if you will enjoy them but they are very good in this genre

Rankings are totally random. It's gonna be updated. It's still a new list so bear with me. Min +500 chapters translated (although there will be... more>> rare cases of some novels having a little bit less chapters). I've been reading Chinese/Korean novels for 7+ years. If you don't see the chapters don't worry, novelupdates... they don't upload unofficial translations. Use novelfull or noveltop for reading, they're anti "webnovel" web sites, or other similar websites.
"Preferably" Chaotic Neutral and Lawful Evil MCs. Male MC only. Hate IET novels except for the Stellar Transformations as it was my first novel. Hate cheap faceslapping and arrogant youngmasters. This is a forbidden territory for The Desolate Era lovers.. go away. Chinese & Korean novels only. As everyone knows, there are two different perspectives for a novel review. The true, detailed analysis and the one that is based on personal opinion. The novels on this list, are all selected after detailed analyses, not personal opinion. They all (seriously) are quality works but you might not like them. It depends on your taste. Nothing is perfect. <<less

hope you find one that will too .

Well, the apathetic, ruthless and evil protagonists are very charismatic, so I will make a list with protagonists that will give you a different flavor !!... more>>

Also the list is not made up of any novel with those labels, obviously they have to be the most outstanding !!

Some may not seem at first like this, but thanks to an excellent character development we can enjoy these protagonists.

I will put novels of more than 1000 chapters or that are complete.
This list has neither better nor worse, judge according to your criteria. <<less

Has no specific rankings.

These are novels (from my perspective) that are timeless masterpieces. They make it on this list by being either emotionally provoking, thoughtful and deep, or... more>> something impressive in literature from my point of view. Although it is dominantly Daoist Fiction, it includes other genres as well. <<less

I have decided to makes this list in order to celebrate reaching 150 completed and 400 read novels marks. ... more>>

I don't read/like yaoi, yuri, female protagonist or shoujo novels, so there won't be any on this list. 

In order for a novel to appear here, it must meet the following requirements:

1 - At the very least, I must be up to date with translations. However, in most cases I am up to date with raws or have completed it.

2 - List will only include those novels with an actual plot, MCs who actually work hard and power systems which have something unique about them, because  I am not a fan of novels with dumb MCs with massive luck, who don't have to struggle, collects girls like pokemon, absolutely generic power systems and 0 plot.
NOTE: This does not mean that there won't be harem novels on the list at all. It means that if a harem novel appears, it is because it is that good.

For those novels, which came close but did not manage to enter the list, I made another list :)
