Ranked from best to worst, in my opinion.... more>>

Rating:

10/10 - Complete masterpiece, personal favorite. Not flawless but as close to perfection as possible.

9/10 - Masterpiece. Slight flaws here and there, but a fantastic novel.

8/10 - Very good. Not quite a masterpiece, but close.

7/10 - Good. Has flaws but they don't drag the novel down too much.

6/10 - Decent. Somewhat significant issues or poor writing but still overall not bad.

5/10 - Average. Satisfactory story but likely not particularly innovative, pretty generic, and has plenty of problems.

4/10 - Somewhat bad. Slightly poor story, large flaws and low innovation. Still readable.

3/10 - Bad. The story is bad, or the characters are bad, it is very generic, or there are very big issues. Or all four.

2/10 - Terrible. Almost unreadable, the story is completely riddled with issues and is deeply frustrating.

1/10 - Unreadable. 

X - Unfinished, will probably never finish. The novel is probably too boring or has fallen off to an extreme degree, to the point where I can't even bring myself to finish it. Some of these novels might pick up later and become really good, but currently, they're terrible. <<less

No description.

Rankings are totally random. It's gonna be updated. It's still a new list so bear with me. Min +500 chapters translated (although there will be... more>> rare cases of some novels having a little bit less chapters). I've been reading Chinese/Korean novels for 7+ years. If you don't see the chapters don't worry, novelupdates... they don't upload unofficial translations. Use novelfull or noveltop for reading, they're anti "webnovel" web sites, or other similar websites.
"Preferably" Chaotic Neutral and Lawful Evil MCs. Male MC only. Hate IET novels except for the Stellar Transformations as it was my first novel. Hate cheap faceslapping and arrogant youngmasters. This is a forbidden territory for The Desolate Era lovers.. go away. Chinese & Korean novels only. As everyone knows, there are two different perspectives for a novel review. The true, detailed analysis and the one that is based on personal opinion. The novels on this list, are all selected after detailed analyses, not personal opinion. They all (seriously) are quality works but you might not like them. It depends on your taste. Nothing is perfect. <<less

This list consists of novels that I have read and  consists of a multitude of genres. There will be little to no harems as I... more>> find harems extremely unnecessary, however I am not opposed to any other genres. Hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave some suggestions! This list is in no particular order. <<less

My Fav List with Only the Best

No particular order... more>>

Other novels:

+The Oracle Paths (webnovel)
+Reborn: Evolving from Nothing (web novel)
+Defiance Of The Fall (RoyalRoad) <<less

A few hidden gems ... others not so much but all of them totally worth the read. List spans quite a few genre such as Fantasy, sci-fi, cultivation, management, mystery.... more>>

Not all novels in the list will have top ratings. In my opinion the best novels are rated around 3.2 - 4.5. Anything over is mostly BL or FL with some exceptions. Anything below is mostly tr*sh with minor exceptions of novels for people with very specific taste. 

PS: All my recommendations are based on MTL. I rarely read human translated versions ..  <<less

I feel really bad when I start reading a good novel thinking that it's quite good and doesn't have useless & annoying harem  it turns... more>> out to be one. It's seriously annoying. This list contains novels which aren't harem . Mc have only one wife/gf or none at all. Let's start( uh..... I'm quite new to nu so don't mind my listing style & they aren't in order) <<less

Ps: I added a list of dropped novels in comments so U can avoid them.  <<less

Sometimes I wonder, do we really need to add romance in every single novel?... more>>

I feel the romance butchered all 'the good feeling' I have about this novel. 

The pace disrupted, the plot become romance-ish, the character become 'ooc'. 

Sometimes I feel this romance was forced.

This novel is good without romance, but too bad, it was added, I'm disappointed.

You don't need romance to be a good novel.

Just why ? why did you decide to add romance inside? 

Sometimes adding love interest and romance will make you love the novel, but sometimes make you hate it. <<less

Chinese Novels with action, romance, fantasy, comedy, xianxia, xuanhuan and especially with NO HAREM!!!

Because I've read LOTM, so maybe my taste is very high / at least I compare it to Lord of the Mysteries. So if the... more>> novel that you think is good is considered low here (I mean there is no low here, the lowest here is only S. The title of the list is also 'Top Rank' so everything is good) Try to read LOTM first, so that you understand why I filled the ranks of novels that you think are good with low scores ([S]) <<less

A rolling list of the novels I've actually liked enough to recommend.  I like intelligent male protagonists without much hubris.  I appreciate capable antagonists, unintentional... more>> humor, and an unpredictable plot line.  I like my heroes to win, my villains to lose, but I want it to be a real struggle. <<less

The end of the world, the start of my reading list.

Sequence is CN- JP- KR- Fluffy- (Comedy)- Exceptions- To-reads. Not ranked by number. 
My descriptions varies greatly from a gist, polished review, impressions, or explains key points.        ... more>>

[Flexible Preferences] 
A. Protags are somehow mostly male but I read both!- interesting, has compelling qualities, flawed with development
B. Entertaining, Distinct, & Creative
C. Steady premise, no TERRIBLE plot hole 
D. Romance: good execution, pacing, build-up, & evokes emotion; no bullsh!t drama & brain-dead denseness
E. Vital, relevant, fleshed-out characters
F. Comedic & Fun
G. Danger, Wars, Battles, Strategy, Tactics, Trials, Fights, Thriller, Suspense
H. Lore, Culture, Kingdom, Worldbuilding 
I. Political Intrigue, Schemes, Mind Games, Manipulation, Mystery
J.  Pure tragedies rarely - it hurts!
K. No BL/GL(yet?)
L. Can be R-18 
M. Polygamous-like IF great story | even if you're averse consider my recs. ;)

[Criteria]
1. These are (mostly) 4/5 stars in story, translation and enjoyment according to my flawed evaluation that is mainly 3/10 objective, 7/10 subjective.
2. I have perused the novels or adaptation before sharing my thoughts.
3. Writing must be consistent, coherent and engaging and the ending must at least not be sh!t. Clichés to a point are fine however it needs to be purposeful & executed well. 
4. I will keep adding books that are promising, satisfying, translated.  <<less

Mostly cold and ruthless protagonists 

No description.

I've made this to keep track of those I'm currently reading. You can still use it as a reference though. I guarantee that what I'm reading is currently the cream of the crop of the current translation era. If you don't see your favorite novel, please feel free to comment and please relate it to my current list if possible. I'm also open for suggestions and I'll try to update the list as much as possible. Please be aware that this list composes of those I deem good or in my taste, so you might disagree with the few on the list.... more>>

Note: I remove the things I've completely read, so the list is very short. Also, the order is very relevant, though the top 5 usually swap position most of the time. <<less

These stories captured me, and I keep up with them, think about them...laugh, cry, tear my hair out...They make me think I want to put them in my "FOREVER Overthrowing My Heart" list...but there's something missing, maybe? And am I willing to be okay with that? Should I put them in FOREVER Overthrowing my HEART or not...... more>>

But I have a soft spot for them and don't want to say that I don't love them...but...eeehhhh, sometimes it's just eeehhhhh....but I love them...sigh. 

So, here's a list of that. Worthy to be saved in a titled list and remembered. Memories in my photo album that I can look back to and feel my heart soften with nostalgia and longing.  <<less

Just novels I enjoy and I think these are not getting the popularity they deserve.
