(Mostly) no harem no BL, male lead on fantasy novel setting with his over protective companions.... more>>

***
Some is tagged Yaoi/Shonen Ai. BUT their relationship is mainly bromance, dense MC, super slow romance and barely had any explicit contents. Save read for those who doesn't like BL, like me.

Note: Some with yaoi tag  still ongoing, I'll update if it's bearable to read or not. <<less

Novels on my reading lists where farming plays an important part in the story.... more>>

Part of them are on my to read list.

Descriptions may contain spoilers. <<less

This list is not by rank. Transmigration/Rebirth novel that I enjoyed reading. Some of then I already finished reading but some are still currently reading.... more>>

Also be warned: My description might contains a little bit of spoiler. So sorryyyy

And please take note, I'm not good in English. So if you see wrong grammar please forgive me. <<less

This list includes web novels focused on making money (or bartering in the case of more primitive settings) using modern knowledge. Some of them are small-scale business owners, whereas others create kingdoms and focus on macro-economics. 
Some are gxb, others are BL, but barely any harems!! The harems included are basically inoffensive. I usually stay away from game elements like systems or cheats, but they're kind of inevitable in the genre. ... more>>

All of them are completed on mtl! 

On other websites: 

-Lady of the Lord From the East 

- The Landlord and His Wife 

- Mountain People  <<less

List of novels in my To Read list for my favourite trope, rags to riches! To my best guess anyway since I haven't read them XD. Also usually slice of life. ... more>>

I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. And the incompleted ones at the back.  Recommendations are very welcome! <<less

Uke MC/Transmigration/Reborn

Work hard, play hard, love hard :D... more>>

This list contains wealthy characters with massive influence <<less

Dropped , Ongoing , starting to trastlate and last but not the least novels that translators forgot to visit.... more>>

D.All of the Above <<less

Slice of Life

Most of these are slice of life novels, focusing on building/raising/expanding territories of any kind - can be kingdoms, tribes, farms, havens, empires, and nations in apocalypse, modern, fantasy, historical or interstellar ages. Main character can be humans and non-humans (zombies, animals, etc.). In no particular order.... more>>

Does not include the following: (1) Novels with storyteller/MC adventuring all over the place, familiarizing to the new environment (a.k.a. world touring) yet NOT building own haven and (2) Novels whose storyteller/MC are only passively affected by territory building and not actively expanding it.

Have fun reading. :) <<less

I like mpreg apocalypse and slice of life the most but I have read so many novels... more>> of BL so I'm putting the novels I have read here and just add to this list as I go.  <<less

Easy to read MTLed novels ;D. I want to share all my joy and misery in reading all this novels. It's a joy because you... more>> can finish the story without waiting for translation, but it will give you headache while you read it in MTL.  <<less

List for one-time transmigration (often split between two worlds, MC’s original world and the new one).... more>>

Include: entering Game World, being reborn into different world after death in OG world, etc

Novels in here have the MC going into a "different" body (or at least, believing they have) rather than being reborn/going back in time in their original body

*Note: includes novels where MC goes into their own body (but is unaware of it) <<less

【NOT QT】

arranged in how I found it

⚠︎Contains SPOILERS Proceed with CAUTION⚠︎ <<less

My personal list for this niche genre of novels - will be adding as I read. Charisma and leadership do not come easy, but they sure as hell come naturally for these protagonists. Charismatic MCs with significant focus on character and ability growth, kingdom / army / career development & management, and/or wholesome friendships / brotherhood. Romance (if any) will only be subplots, not the main focus. I've put short descriptions and summaries of every novel, plus my thoughts on them.... more>>

Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience. I change my ratings often. Feel free to recommend more or point out any mistakes in my sorting of this list. Cheers!

*[CC] - Collecting Companions, aka collecting and raising loyal companions. Brotherhood, friendship, blablabla. [CC] focuses more on picking up and raising companions without necessarily having to develop a full kingdom/empire.

*[KB] - Kingdom Building. I'll use this abbreviation as a general umbrella term for anything to do with (insert noun)-building and management. [KB] by association would also include raising the people in that empire/kingdom, but the novels focus more on the development/management part. <<less

Coz Corn wishes the world to drown in dog food together orz.. After years of bl novels, these stuck with me the most, for better... more>> or for worst.  <<less

Zombies and boys, two of the most perfect things in one.... more>>

But these stories aren't totally perfect yet, because they aren't yet completed. Until they are, they shall wait here. On this 'to be read' list. Then they will be quickly gorged on and moved. Thank you.

BL_Apoco [Novel Status: Completed] also available in my lists.

~Any notes I have are probably pts taken off of the summary or comments that I pay the most attention to when choosing a novel. So I don't know if they are all true. Please keep this in mind when browsing; take it with a pinch of salt. <<less
