Novels i've completely read

Primarily Career/Shop/Kingdom Development, but there also could be some novels that I like. Most of these novels do not have romance or harem tag as I am not a big fan of these in novels that aren't primarily written as romance.... more>>

I now have a part 2! <<less

I thought how about list all novel without harem that is good for reading in the free time, then here I was, make it. Basically I put ALL GENRES in one list, BUT they don't have harem tag. Ah, ofc the mc is male. And unlike the other lists, I don't arrange the novels based on its stars. But at least, I put them according their origin (kr-cn-jp) ... more>>

If anyhow you guys found a title with harem inside and I put it here, please tell me. Thank you! <<less

A list of memorable stories I read on novelupdates that covers mostly survival stories, reincarnation in non-human beings, second chances in other worlds and novels that felt unique in some way.... more>>

More often than not, stories I included had some grim parts to them. Where I find it necessary, I'll put a warning. 

Some stories are simply positive. Not everything needs to be dark. <<less

How would you bring technology into a fantasy world? Make sense of the magics? Feed people and get rid of the corrupt nobles? This is specifically on developing a city or territory, not:
- Developing a dungeon/core (see my other list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10742/)... more>>

First, a few worthy mentions that aren't on NU:
1. Castle Kingside (rewrite) - a lot of inspiration from Release that Witch, imo improved! Warning: it's slow. Kingdom only begins around c60ish.
2. The iron teeth - although territory development comes late in the story, it's well done and exotic, being based on a goblin kingdom
3. 1632 (published book) - an American village goes back to the 30 years war. It's much less fantastical, but has a lot of similar elements to other kingdom building novels.
4. The Eagle's Flight - highly intricate fantasy webnovel
5. Defiance of the fall
6. Randidly Ghosthound - neither Randidly nor Defiance of the Fall focus on kingdom building, but they both have elements related to setting up a post-apocalypse system city - complete the quest to get the village crystal/coin!
7. The Expansion (Legend of the Arch Magus) - [have not yet read] - recommendation from Hitexh in the comments
8. Enlightened Empire - weaker than the others <<less

The isekai here is pointed to another world, but not only to the usual Jpn isekai with reincarnation/rebirth/transmigrate MC. It can be the world that's totally not in the earth, and maybe it's not a reincarnation/transmigration and MC is from that world. ... more>>

My ideal isekai novel is the one with the world building as its central theme and the romance is non existent, even if there's romance element in it, usually it's slow and just as unnecessary side dish.

NO HAREM for me. Tho few of them has harem and romance tags, for me there are those that are not romance and harem, so I'll explain in related description instead. 

  <<less

CN and JP novels I really enjoy. Novels that go an extra mile to build up the story, the world, the characters and the progression.

This list a mishmash of all kind JP novel, hope you find good stuff to read, rank doesn't matter

I’ve been using this cite for a while without an account so I’ve never made a reading list but I thought people might be interested... more>> in the books I’ve curated over the years. TBH I have a pretty high literary standard but at the same time I like to indulge in tr*sh taste, so the quality of these books might be mixed but they should at least leave an impression. Be prepared for a lot of isekai. Also I'm a bit*h for completed novels, proper conclusions are great. <<less

IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THIS READING LIST! C= C= C= C= C=┌(;・ω・)┘... more>>

this list has the novels for those who want:

- romance novels (comedic undertone, light reading, lots and lots of FLUFF) 

- no romance novels (where romance doesn't bu*t into an amazing plot and makes you want to dry heave)

- misunderstanding novels (specifically ones that evoke laughter or amus**ent)

warning: all of these novels have (or will have) my opinion and terrible descriptions !! 

i hope you have fun reading

Novels one must read

Well, almost all my reading list.

A list containing novels with zero harem[love triangles in some] and good stories to my preference. Not tags as there is no central themes. But... more>> I can promise you that there is no filler stuff in my recommendations.I will be updating the details and why you should read them often enough. And don't go with the way they are queued, as things may vary from person to person, just take them as a list.If you want to use MTL for novels... use comrademao.. its the closest with OG quality I have come across, they use some good software. <<less

Cooking, farming, business management and the likes. Might be boring for some.

I'd rather read these novels when they update than sleep... more>>

#49 - #57 are short stories/one-shot novels <<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
