Sturgeon's law: 99% of everything is terrible.... more>>

I know many people say that there are no good novels on this site, and it oftens feels like the top lists are filled with overpowered MC's, undeveloped harems, 2D characters, and lacking plots.

There are some novels that stand out, however, whether that be for their plots, characters, or translations.

This is a list for my personal 1%. It is ranked in order. <<less

Caution: bear the risk of having your taste being too sky-high standard.

Novels which are still in MTL (high-readability, guaranteed minimum brain cell mortality) and not yet translated:... more>>

- Bulgarian Empire (same author of Holy Roman Empire)
- Holy Roman Empire (60 chapters translated, the rest just go to MTL, high quality MTL is the reason translators didn't bother to translate it in the first place)
- Rise of Rurik (thank you Zurdonx for recommendation)
(More will be updated later) <<less

S tier - absolute masterpiece ... more>>

A tier - excellent

B tier - really good

All of the novels have enough chapters, have something special and are my favourites, therefore there are no bad novels here.

Of course this is purely my opinion. <<less

The MC is male and happens to be the villain himself (usually by setting, sometimes choice) or allied to a villainess (by marriage, fiance, childhood friend). I'll provide a short description what i precisely like about that novel or its execution, or the points of criticism. No Yaoi.... more>>

All novels in this list have romance/ harem to quench your thirst (unless I say otherwise). Just having harem doesn't make it bad, only how it's written. 

MC refers to the Male MC, the one you are reading as, 'protagonist' refers to the classic 'hero' of the 'original' story. I'll also include till what chapter i've read the novel, sometimes the novels improve as you progress but 99% of the times tr*sh stays tr*sh.

Do feel free to recommend novels in the comments, i'll add them after reading.

Note: if i run out of space i'll consider removing some novels to try and spotlight the newer/ up-and-coming novels instead. If i do so i'll state it here.

Update: i have made that supplementary list. It's here- novelupdates.com/viewlist/71758/ <<less

After reading like dozens, maybe even hundreds of isekai(more like fantasy), these are some of the good one that aren't that well known, or at least they got unique theme. Ranging from decent to godly one. If you got reccomendation, please put in the comment (I NEED MORE ISEKAI TO READ, or just magic fantasy stuff in general). And sorry I don't read Manhwa or Manhua stuff.... more>>

The ranking doesn't really matter since some of the better stuff might get pushed down as I add stuff. Though I'll try to keep the better stuff at the top. <<less

goldmine of misunderstanding novels. mostly focus on comedy stuffs... more>>

tag explanation
conscious = protagonist intentionally create misunderstanding
comedy = misunderstanding is funny
amusing = the suffering of that guy... kukuku
realism = the world is alive, its rules are serious, because it's not just opera stage for protagonist.
