It can be the way it was written, the twist at the end or just the overall mood of the story.... more>>

The plot can be anything, from old cultivation, reincarnation in the magic world to the mecha battle in the distant future and space. The rating doesn't have to be high.

It's just...when you read it there seems to be something that made you want to keep reading.

It's that kind of novel..? <<less

A dumping ground for stories i've read that somehow decent. In no particular order

Stories full of holes but somehow you gladly fall for them. A hidden gem once you pass by their weaknesses. (No particular order) 

Historical/xianxia/transmig that I actually liked... more>>

Stuff I haven't dropped yet or have read to completion or at least plan to finish reading. The good stuff. Mostly down to earth female protagonists (or love interests) you won't feel the need to strangle. Too much. 

Lots of strong women here, whether mentally or physically or... eventually haha. Some fluff, some serious, many both.

Mostly female MC, but might add some male MC stuff if it feels like it fits the theme of the list. 

No particular order.

Recs welcome: leave comment :) Or just to agree or disagree about my views on the novels. Discussion welcome :)  <<less

Transmigration, reincarnation, summoning, time travel and whatever have you. If it managed to grasp my attention (and keep it), it goes into the list.

the rating is 4.++. for man and without BL

BL Only! No particular order, but the novels on here are pretty close in greatness!

Small list of the stories I've found to be compelling even if flawed due to at the very least getting the basics right if not excelling in one aspect. (world building, character growth, character development, action, humor, etc.)... more>>

Quoting a user from the discord: 
"The best stories with a super overpowered protagonist don't rely on combat to be the motivating force for plot progression. 
It's interpersonal relationships, it's a time limit on how long they have to reach a goal, it's severely limiting factor on their powers, any number of other things. 
Making a story about a super overpowered protagonist, and then making every single piece of conflict in the story based around fighting severely drags a story down."

I've omitted any stories hosted only on webnovel/Qidian.

Work in progress, in no particular order. <<less

What I think are pretty good novels to read.

Recommended you best funny and gender bender romance novel that I completely reading.

Some novels for those new readers to tried out... more>>

Some novels are now licensed and are thus unavailable, therefore my recommendation would be either to buy from the source or read from another source, Aka google it. <<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 laughed, I cried, I just plain enjoyed these novels. These are novels I consider to be my top personal favorites.... more>>
