after 3rd. the number is useless <<less

Here some of my favorite novels, i tend to like novel without romance, harem, ecchi, or tragedy tags. I also like stories with great side characters rather than just focusing solely on MC. So if you look for those harem seeking protag and usual face slapping novel then sorry~ this isn't for ya...... more>>

P.S (edit 12/21) i removed all novel with romance hints, enjoy~ <<less

Where are my ghosts!? Where are my futuristic worlds!? Right here on this list!! I honestly love horror and sci-fi too much not to make a list with all my favourites in it~ Nothing beats a good game of body part tag or a Sci-fi doomsday/space exploration.  I really love the type of protagonist who sees a ghost and pretends that nothing has happened, or the type that wants to make friends with them. So essentially, even though I tagged smart protagonists, there are gonna be some dumbasses in here :P ... more>>

This list will contain:
- smart protagonists 
- Sci-fi worlds
- many ghosts
- no teenage angst syndrome *cough japan…wait what!?
- no harems
- some accidental yaoi (that contains horror...)

The top 10 are my current favourites and the list is kinda in order? But who knows.  <<less

Some apocalyptic novels I'm interested in 

novels i am reading, finished or droped.

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

A BL reader's curated guide (with comments) to exciting non-BL stories with either no M/F romance or very little late romance. And NO idiotic, horndog MCs!!! <<less

No description.

These are the novels that I personally enjoyed, though some of them might not be my favorites, they still had enough influence stay in my heart as a decent novel at the very least... well, most of them. (Also I'm actually back now 2022, got burnt out after reading too much reincarnation paradise)[2023 here, uhhh, oops]... more>>

*Rest of description is for when you enter the list*
{I'm back and ready to fix my younger self's s*upid tastes, some are pretty good though}

(My reviews will not be consistent with the list because I go into the read deeper rather than just a overview, make sure to check my oldest comment, it is also the most liked one, it has the unpublished reads)

[S tier is a 5 star read, A is a 4.5 star read, B tier is a 4 star read, C tier is a 3.5 star read, D tier is a 3 star read, E tier is a 2 star read, F tier is a 1 star read] 

[SS and X tier are special. SS is consistency and intrigue, and X is the top 3 with the SS tier also being applied] 

(exaggerated tier which is a new special tier has been added, this is when I give reads that just started a good tier even when there isn't enough chapters to properly review it, the tier of the read will most probably change someday)

(The special tiers will now be accompanied by a regular tier, Exagg. tier will be accompanied with a Z)  <<less

... Those that interests me.

Ratings range from 4.0 and above, except for one novel.

Finding good fantasy weak(or not so weak)-to-strong novels is a pain. Therefore, this list has been made to help you find the good stuff without having to touch manure!... more>>

Individual reviews are work in progress. If you have suggestions, please give them, I need more reading material. I also recommend checking out anything by Vihyungrang, Andur, or LupineKing on Royal Road. <<less

The best Yaoi Apocalypse I can think of :)

Almost all of these novels are very well written and interesting. This list will be constantly updated as I finish reading other novels

LIST 1 - 10 ARE THE TOP 10 NOVELS I’VE READ. FYI, my standards are exquisite, meticulous and flawless. You can trust my list. ... more>>

Reincarnated+Romance is my favorite

This list is specifically for second chances/age regression in fantasy, historical or VRMMO settings. 
- Not transmigration stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16246/)
- Not time loop stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/)
- Not second chances in modern society (see:  https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10745/)... more>>

I'll start with a big recommendation for:
1. Metaworld chronicles - wonderful series with well developed characters, magic, monsters and dragons, all set to a really well explored alternate modern Earth fuelled by magi-tech. It's the best in the genre and you should try it out!
2. Selena's Reign - only around 20 chapters out so far, but they're really well done. Beautiful descriptions (though sometimes a bit verbose) and the best depictions of a late 18th century setting that I've seen in an online fantasy. Read this for the magical second chance messiah in a gritty, Louis XIV->Napoleon type time frame world.
3. The Calamity of a Reborn Witch - more of a shoujo take on things, it's filled with political plots and conspiracies of a cinderella type heroine in a rather dark fantasy world
4. Forgotten Conqueror (this was on hiatus for a long time but restarted on the author's site) <<less
