Here's the list of a horror novels :)... more>>

PS: Anyone can also recommend me a horror novel too. I'm fine with romance but harem is a big no for me. Thank you in advance! <<less

Can't think of a name

Read Lord of the Mysteries and fell absolutely head over heels for it. these are some novels i think have similar elements: lovecraftian/occult horror, steampunk/victorian vibes, themes of humanity fighting against fate, etc.  A mix of read and TBR, as well as BL/GL/gen.... more>>

Recs from outside of Novelupdates:

- Mother of Learning on RoyalRoad, TBR. time loop f*ckery babeyyy. apparently there’s a good magic system and some character development. I’ve heard nothing of good things about this one!

- The Forsaken Sovereign on Webnovel, TBR. LOVECRAFTIAN THEMES AND ELDRITCH GODS I AM SO EXCITED. 

(feel free to forum message me to gush about any of these novels!) <<less

No harem... more>>

- First 18 novels have male protagonists 

Other novel recommendations:

- "starting from fooling the elderly into registering for a cultivation training class" (MC, modern day, introducing cultivation to the world)
- "Immortal's wine store" (Heavenly God MC transmigrates to new world, w system providing missions to brew wine)

 - "watch out! danger ahead" (FMC, horror, survival game to be God, from weak to OP, start was quite interesting)

- "shocking the whole internet! He's not a psychologist at all!" (MC, lifestreams to help change others' fate and cultivate to be immortal)

- "the rich young lady destroyed her dream girl script" (FMC, OP main characters, not your usual dreaming of being in a novel/character w system story -- in fact kinda like downfall)

- "among cultivators, I stand above all" (FMC, aware she'll be killed by novel MC in future, tries to make use of her time to learn as many skills, one of the most hardworking cultivator MC I know)

- "transmigrating as a delicate bundle of luck for a farming family" (FMC, one of the sweetest loving family/friend relationships, with MC being a divine doctor, though ended up going an unexpected plot line, made me tear up many times early in novel, with interesting mix of cultivation/superpowers introduced in later stages, stopped around 800+chapters) <<less

sometimes i have no standards and it shows

No description.

These are all of my favorites. They range from cute love stories to suspenseful action. Take a look if you’d like.

if your bored read this list, it will entertain you trust... more>>

PS: Mount Tai

if you guys have anything to say, feel free to say it in the comments. This list is more inclined toward romance but it does have some books that are Action only or MC only and have no romance.

There is no order, almost all if not all books are pretty good to most people

this list does include BL but it's only like once or twice! <<less

The cream of the crop of novels in no particular order. I'll add in more novels as I find them.

i noticed that a lot of readers dislike harem so i compiled the novels i read without it. genres are mixed so there's a lot... more>> you can choose <<less

Hodge podge of novels I enjoyed over my long long reading journey. Reading taste is all over the place.

In no particular order. Props to anyone else who has read them all.

Novels which I've enjoyed or I plan to read. ... more>>

I care a lot about characters, plot and overall translation quality/writing so some of these should look interesting to any picky reader out there like myself.

They're all from a variety of genres.

Not in any order. 
Open to recommendations :) <<less

I like sane, smart and scheming characters. ... more>>

I'll be adding my own ratings for each novel on this list. The core of this list is the [S] rating. The rest are just additions.... more>>

[S]: Masterpiece

[A]: Very Good

[B]: Good

[C]: Normal <<less

it’s my collection of KR and CN novels (the gold CN not the tr*sh type) and some mysterious and horror maybe some comedy too the... more>> harem is forbidden tho <<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

You will find quite a diverse list of suggestions here. ... more>>

Recommendations are welcome

List is not in any particular order mainly because it is a bit hard to rank my favourites <<less

Some of the best novels I’ve read or heard of. Usually Korean novels but there are some good Japanese and Chinese scattered throughout. Honestly every... more>> novel here is a gem so please give them all a look. <<less

In this list, there will be a variety of novels that I have read throughout my journey. There are also some novels that I'm planning to read as well. Nevertheless for the ones I have read, I will try add some descriptions. ( may not have enough time, but I'll try my best). I've read about 90% of what is included in this list, so it'll take quite long to review all of them ( I would rather spend time reading novels). ... more>>

Unfortunately, there's a limit to the number of novels I can add to this list. That's why I may trim down the list so I can add other novels.  <<less

Goated MCs - no harem - male protagonist

This is mostly Romance and Slice of Life genres with some fluff here and there 

Sometimes I wonder... If a fledging reader comes up to me and asks what stories I recommend them to read, how would I corrupt them *cough* introduce them into the delightful world of webnovel reading... This is my list. ... more>>

Each story listed here are unique gems, with a different sparkle that caught my eye. It could be for its mighty fine plot, awesome character development, laughter/fear/tears inducing ability, inspiring messages, or quirky story telling method... All in all, each book is a darn good read.
