I've been going on a journey from A to Z due to lack of novels for me to read, as it felt like I read everything. Like I read way too much on this site... I just hit 650 reviews... though most of them were just a few words / sentences... I decided to finally make a reading list of what I think the best novels on this site are for male readers. Some stories were worse off in quality, but they were interesting enough to keep me reading.... more>>

I USUALLY ignore 4 types of novels

1. Romance focused

2. Historical focused

3. Female Leads

4. Dropped novels

Now, before u get mad, I only included ones that I CONTINUED liking. Because many times, the story quality ends up dropping the farther along the story is. I read a lot, so I'm very picky. Like when I first came to this site, I literally loved isekai, vrmmo, cultivation novels so much because everything was new... but now... there are comparisons... Another possible reason your novel isn't here, is that the novel is just new, and I have not read it yet as it was released after I went past that point alphabetically.

Please note the list will change in the future. I only read up the translation at the time of reading, so some of these books may be removed due to later chapters ruining the story.

Although I have read and liked a few FL Romance focused novels, I will not be including them to this list to be non biased, as I have not read enough of those to be picky about them. <<less

No specific order to the list.... more>>

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

Like reading newish stuff that ends up on the ranking list, but don't check that that much. Good news, I don't check 'that' much which... more>> is one less that much then that that much, so yeah... <<less

Tropes are not inherently bad, tropes are merely tools to write a good story, but using tropes doesn't mean your story will be good... more>>

This is a list of novels that are excellent, not just good, despite using standard tropes <<less

Now there are many META LNs with Romance themes, but among them are mostly Romcoms and have stories or plots that are very ordinary or... more>> even uninteresting in some people's tastes. but i don't really hate it, i can still enjoy it. I also prefer Romance-Drama than Romance-Comedy which has a heavier story even though I myself rarely find things like that <<less
