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)

Inexorable chaos (Ch. 100) (On hold)

Dual cultivation (Ch. 725) (On hold)

Supreme magus (Ch. 32) (On hold) <<less

In this list, there will be a variety of novels that I have read throughout my journey. There are also some novels that I'm planning to read as well. Nevertheless for the ones I have read, I will try add some descriptions. ( may not have enough time, but I'll try my best). I've read about 90% of what is included in this list, so it'll take quite long to review all of them ( I would rather spend time reading novels). ... more>>

Unfortunately, there's a limit to the number of novels I can add to this list. That's why I may trim down the list so I can add other novels.  <<less

Chinese Cultivation novels, from Coiling Dragon to Against the Gods, were some of the absolute earliest novels listed on Novel Updates. Japanese isekai novels have... more>> been around the block for quite awhile, too, with middling popularity before Novel Updates even existed. ... And we <<less

Some of the novels I have read and liked.... more>>

Only like the top 15 are in order the rest are in random order. <<less

For the stories i finish and review, please note that it is my personal opinion and you are entitled to disagree with me.... more>>

Most of these will be villainess/reincarnated stories, but I'm trying to incorporate different stories into this list. I enjoy all genres, if you have a story you'd like to recommend please tell me!

As I go along I put my (mostly) unfiltered thoughts on the novel, so hopefully you can easily find some stories you'd like to read based on my review. 

note: the reviews are based on the number of chapters I have read so far~ 

i am warning you this is literally my guilty pleasure list lmao  <<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

Personal favourites, in no particular order.... more>>

Idk if I'm allowed to put this here but anything QI in this list? Aggregators lmao

Novels which have been deemed to be excellent in some regard, irrespective of genres and themes. While not exhaustive in any way, this list will be periodically updated as I read more. Note that erot*c content might also be included. To better understand why I chose certain series, check out my reviews!... more>>

Note: I am biased towards reading more CN, and I have stopped reading any novel related to QI since the controversy with WW. Thus, you might find this list to be particularly biased, so take it with a pinch of salt. The order/numbering is not indicative of anything. <<less

This list a mishmash of all kind JP novel, hope you find good stuff to read, rank doesn't matter

IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THIS READING LIST! C= C= C= C= C=┌(;・ω・)┘... more>>

this list has the novels for those who want:

- romance novels (comedic undertone, light reading, lots and lots of FLUFF) 

- no romance novels (where romance doesn't bu*t into an amazing plot and makes you want to dry heave)

- misunderstanding novels (specifically ones that evoke laughter or amus**ent)

warning: all of these novels have (or will have) my opinion and terrible descriptions !! 

i hope you have fun reading

Here are the light/web novels I've read or am still currently reading ... more>>

The order is random  <<less

Everyone has their own preferences and picks.
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]

#49 - #57 are short stories/one-shot novels <<less

No description.

This is a list of the novels I've read, everything rated on a scale of 1-10. I hope it's useful to anyone looking for a new read.... more>>

1-Crap, 2-Dumpster Fire, 3-tr*sh, 4-Bad, 5-Average, 6-Ok, 7-Good, 8-Excellent, 9-Amazing, 10-Masterpiece

I typically record the chapter/volume I left off on and give my rating right after I catch up or put it on hold, so most of these ratings are from when my memory of it was fresh. I've dropped some ratings down a number and bumped others up a number based on how much I remember of the novels at the time of making this list. 

Please leave me suggestions for novels that I should read, or feel free to try and convince me that something on this list deserves a different score than I gave it.  <<less

sometimes i have no standards and it shows

My pick from the start I use this site (2016) until now and it mixed between JP, KR, CN novel regardless if it's WN or LN. ... more>>

My criteria for the novel recommendation? Nothing.. because there's no bad story, only bad writing, your limitation to picture the stories in your head, or sometimes contradiction from story's idea with your sense of value (even for me).

Update will come soon

Regardless, I hope you like my recommendation <<less

I will only include the one's that made me stick through thick and thin. Mostly no romance, if it's harem then you should expect that the MC is just using them for greater benefits. I don't like DUmb characters so you should also expect that most of the Male leads here or Female leads are smart or sharp. half of my list also include survival and teaches you some bitter reality lesson unlike those cliche novels that makes you scared or dream about nonsense fantasy stuffs.... more>>

I JUST RANDOMLY PLACE THE NOVELS AND I WON'T RANK IT. ( for me, they're all the best on their own way and techniques) 

[disclaimer: as I said, ‘mostly’ no romance- what I meant is in the survival stories, and if the protagonist is a man. But if the protagonist is a girl, they’ll be really romance. Book like that (top tier books with Female Mc w/ no romance) are very rare. I myself having some troubles finding them.] <<less

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

good novels i recommend it
