Those are light novels that won best-seller award, Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi, and the ones that have translation only.

(Except for Utsuro no Hako, Kara no Kyoukai and Violet Evergarden.) <<less

These are novels that I really liked. They are mixed between Isekais and general fiction. Not ranked.... more>>

Trying to explain my personal taste:

- Not a huge fan of comedy novels or goofy MC

- I like nice and normal MCs who aren't horrible people. Also people who don't show off.

- I like novels where the MC grows.

- I like novels that shows a bit of realism, taking things from real life. <<less

This list is a bit of a mix of series that I could recommend without hesitation to anyone to try and those that may not... more>> be sensational, but for some reason interested me. As soon as I find some time I will split it into several other lists. <<less

Here are some novels I feel can be worth one's time

+ Shiroi Kyotō (白い巨塔, literally "The White Tower") is a 1965 novel by Toyoko Yamasaki.

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

Novels that are better written than 99% of the other ones on this site. Prefer seinens, generally really dislike shounens and shoujos.

Thrash novels are too prevalent, that's why I made it easier for everyone and just made a list of in mea sentetia novels that actually do have great plot or those that stand out from their peers. These are the must reads. ... more>>

PS: Honestly just read Brandon Sanderson, George RR Martin, Robert Jordan, Patrick Rothfuss, etc. for actual good fantasy novels.

I Need A New Novels/Light Novels for Reading

Properly written novels of good quality (IMO), no harems/mary sues/wish-fulfillment stories/etc. Some of them I liked more, some less, but they were all worth reading. Completed or... more>> cancelled novels, for the most part. <<less
