Stories with a close friendship/relationship between two male characters that is not romantic in nature.

I really like ✓unique (world building/game rule/setting), ✓logical development, ✓solid plot, ✓all character in the novel have a life of their own that not serve for the purpose of the plot and finally a ✓logical MC. If there are at least two of these qualities, LINNIL APPROVE!!... more>>

I like to read various genre I don't care if it's ✮shoujou, ✮shounen, ✮yaoi or ✮harem, if only there is my require qualities~

This list order by my like, it not depend on the novel quality though. >wOb <<less

These are list of novels I’ve read for the past 3 years of discovering novel updates. These are gems and, and novels I love to read. ... more>>

Some of them are completely translated though the remaining are still under translation you can easily understand the MTLed version. 

The novels listed below are not particularly in order. I’ll add more once I found those novels I forgot to save 2 years ago. 

Hope this list will help you choose great novels to read.

You can also comment your novel suggestions so that others can enjoy it too!  HAPPY READING!! <<less

Nothing too edgy or boring. Just simple, quality romance stories. The story is not the only thing that needs to be good, but the translation as well. I also look to see if series either have a lot of available chapters or are new but consistently updating. There is no specific order to this list.... more>>

Currently looking for someone with similar tastes and standards, willing to help curate this list. <<less

Novels with great fem protag that I would like to recommend~ for some of the JP ones that only have few chapters translated, I chose... more>> the ones that I have read further in the raw and found them to be great! <<less

Created this list to keep track of my favorite completed novels that I've read.  Some of these I like a lot more than others, but I'm too lazy to split them into multiple lists.  If anyone else finds it useful, then that's an added bonus :) - fair warning, a lot of these novels follow similar, if not the same, cliches and tropes, but that's what I like to read. *shrug*... more>>

Also, all have happy endings.  I hate reading a really good novel only to have it ruined with a depressing ending.

Some of these novels are not showing as complete on NU, but are completed elsewhere, so I'm including them.

I'll add notes/comments as I feel like it - some notes are just key points/words to remind me which novel it is.

I'm going to add any other novels I really love, but aren't on NU in the comments for tracking purposes.

BL novels listed separately.

Smut with plot also listed separately now - this is not saying that there is no smut/NSFW in the novels on this list, just moved any novels where smut seemed to be the main focus.

Also moved some to a new list for novels that I did enjoy reading, but probably won't read again (just to keep track of what I've read without adding to this list).  So I guess "favorite" = "worth rereading"

Just started Part 2 of this list - may sort them by genre or something later: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87122/?ft=yes <<less

If you're like me who can't resist temptation of good novels in price of killing sleep, then you're in the right place! These novels are the one which I read by killing my sleep. These are source of great imaginations and entertainment as these leads are very independent and strong. So, let's enjoy these together.... more>>

Because the 1st, 2nd & 3rd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 4th list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on those lists will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing them first, Go See that 1st!}

And here I'll try to add all the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful which couldn't fit on the previous lists. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include korean, chinese, japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o   <<less

Yes it's another one of those list of main characters transmigrating to a novel, game, or having a 2nd chance at life. 

Novels that have made a big impact on me. Novels that I still keep thinking about. Hope you enjoy them!... more>>

Also,  I considered these as gems because of:

Solid plot | Incredible world building | Character growth (MCs and also side characters) | Beautifully written  (rhetorics and narratives)| Touches on morality and complex human emotions <<less
