Novels which have been deemed to be excellent in some regard, irrespective of genres and themes. While not exhaustive in any way, this list will be periodically updated as I read more. Note that erot*c content might also be included. To better understand why I chose certain series, check out my reviews!... more>>

Note: I am biased towards reading more CN, and I have stopped reading any novel related to QI since the controversy with WW. Thus, you might find this list to be particularly biased, so take it with a pinch of salt. The order/numbering is not indicative of anything. <<less

Captivating storytellings. 

This list consists of works that, according to my opinion, are masterpieces. I myself am a fan of slow paced novels that tend to start... more>> slow. Alot of the stories here start to get so good later on that I can't even fully express it with words. Also, even though I'm not a fan of tragic or dark novels, some of the ones I've chosen are quite dark and gritty with many plots and schemes. Cheers! <<less

Decent novels that are a bit realistic. They seem more down to earth and portray what it was like in ancient times. A nice writing style makes all the difference.... more>>

This is in no particular order. <<less

This is a list of the best translated cultivation style novels I've found. Stories from genres like Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuahuan/LitRPG are all qualified as long as they have some sort of constant power progression that characters deal with throughout the story.... more>>

Overall Considerations:

For a story to be included they must have a great prose, excellent translation, superior worldbuilding, and three dimensional side characters.

Personal Considerations:

I personally abhor evil/edgy/"anti-hero" mcs and so those will not be featured on this list. It's very easy to be selfish, immoral and evil. It's much more difficult to be kind, just and principled when the going gets tough so I find stories with main characters who have a code and stand by it the most interesting. MCs don't need to be paragon's of justice, but when confronted with difficult choices they must display some semblance of empathy and kindness in their actions.

I also love discussions of philosophy and morality and find their inclusion in the context of wuxia and xanxia worlds to be extremely interesting.

I like romance. I dislike harems, but if I have to make a choice I prefer harems to no romance.

I have a personal preference to reading male main characters.

Organization:

I've tried my best to order the list in by considering both general quality of the novel itself and the personal preference concepts I've listed above. I hope this list can help. <<less
