Novels from pre-2010 era, high focus on JPN (with usually anime adaption) but there is a slight mix. 

Novels I've read from way way back and still find them good these days. Some are adapted into animes but didn't really do them justice.... more>> It is still better to read the novels because of omitted details crucial to the characters behaviour or actions. <<less

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

List of completed novel and short stories I highly recommend.

Mainly adventure/fantasy/xianxia/xuanhuan/wuxia/isekai novels that i have read or i am currenly reading.

These are the translated novels I find to be the best of the of the best. They're arranged in no particular order and have no... more>> genre limitation. The only requirements that I've placed on them are that they have great prose, excellent translations, superior worldbuilding, three dimensional side characters and most importantly a kind main character. <<less

Most have Anime or Manga adaptation already but they are best, all of them have 4 or greater than it rating.... more>>

still haven't added 20 more novels cause i am not sure that they won't go downhill later or have read very few volumes/chapters. <<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

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
