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

A list of novels I like so I don't forget. Not in order. I try to not make this similar to FIEND's and other people's list but there aren't that many decent ones with no romance y'know. ... more>>

Some novels : Since The Red Moon Appeared, The Damned, Supreme Grandpa, Is That A Wisp?, Spending My Retirement In A Game.

P.S. I still haven't differentiated quick transmigration and world hopping so I could be mistaken about some. Thank you for understanding. <<less

these novels aren't ranked. all are good and i recommend all of these for you guys to read. there's no (or some may have a little) romance here,  but no harem. ... more>>

THIS IS NOT ARRANGED BY RANK

p.s.

I haven't read all of these books and only a few of them. I wanted male pov books that didn't have a dozen of females flocking hence after tons of reading genres and tags and a h*ck amount of reviews making sure there ain't no imposter in here I've finally formed a hundred (and two) "MALE PROTAGONIST WITH NO HAREM" READING LIST!!!! TADA ~ ~~

You're welcome ;D

Oh, and If you guys wanna recommend books and found out there's an imposter among us (diz books) please tell me- tell us! and even more so if you wanna recommend a good book ANY GENRE you know about please please please..? *with sparkling eyes*

This is to help my s*upid brain never regress further due to being addicted in reading novels with lack of common sense and questionable plot holes. And to also prevent myself from always having to lower my standard to the point of being brain dead.... more>>

Most often no romance but with male protagonist. As much as I always read everyday, only some stories really piqued my interest. So here's my list of unforgettable novels I've read here.

Just to mention, I won't add some KR dungeon tropes and CN wuxias, xuanhuans, xianxias since I find it more generic and full of plot holes (and armors).

I've been an avid NU reader since 2018? Yet this is my first time setting an account because I really want to create this list for my fellow comrades.

Ah, please do not hesitate for some recommendations I forgot to add! <<less

Korean Action Novels Part 3https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/25368/?ft=yes <<less

Good novels that have had updates stopped or slowed to the point that they may as well have stopped. I'm also including novels whose already translated chapters are gone as well (even if they were completed), whether that's because of DMCAs/C&Ds, translators or authors taking hiatuses, losing interest, or just disappearing off the face of the earth.... more>>

Most of these are ones I've personally read, and I ordered them in a general ranking of which ones I personally liked or thought were best, but further down the list are ones I have read and may not love the way I do some of the others but still think it's a shame that their translation has stopped. <<less

A list of korean novels I enjoyed and some not entirely. Definitely no harem! 

These novels are hands down the absolute best when it comes to quality in world-building, plot twists, character development, or melodrama.

Read Lord of the Mysteries and fell absolutely head over heels for it. these are some novels i think have similar elements: lovecraftian/occult horror, steampunk/victorian vibes, themes of humanity fighting against fate, etc.  A mix of read and TBR, as well as BL/GL/gen.... more>>

Recs from outside of Novelupdates:

- Mother of Learning on RoyalRoad, TBR. time loop f*ckery babeyyy. apparently there’s a good magic system and some character development. I’ve heard nothing of good things about this one!

- The Forsaken Sovereign on Webnovel, TBR. LOVECRAFTIAN THEMES AND ELDRITCH GODS I AM SO EXCITED. 

(feel free to forum message me to gush about any of these novels!) <<less

These are novels I've read or I'm reading and came to like.... more>>

The following novels are not ordered and doesn't have any specific genre,

Feel free to check them out. I'm sure at least some of them will be of your taste.

I've rated on the scale of 10 and wrote descriptions for some of them or just few lines otherwise. 

[If not, then either it's has too less chapters (below 100) or I've stopped half-way (translation problem, didn't feel like re-reading to catch up to the latest chapters due to long brake or the story started going downhill) and just rated it to what I remember.]

Do comment if there are any corrections to be made.

[Some of the '... more>>' may not work ,I added them to troll those who didn't read this (kufufu), as I'm still editing it (Now at #22)]

Happy Reading! <<less

if you're looking at this list then you're probably tired of seeing the same novels over and over again.... more>>

Well then here are some good novels that you might not have seen yet.

Hidden Gems!

here are some other lists I made: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46420/ and https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/47255/  check them out if you're interested <<less

I’ve been using this cite for a while without an account so I’ve never made a reading list but I thought people might be interested... more>> in the books I’ve curated over the years. TBH I have a pretty high literary standard but at the same time I like to indulge in tr*sh taste, so the quality of these books might be mixed but they should at least leave an impression. Be prepared for a lot of isekai. Also I'm a bit*h for completed novels, proper conclusions are great. <<less

No description.

No genre in particular. Will update if I find anything that I like

Novels that didn't make it to my absolute recommendations list (https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/49238/), but are still worth a read.... more>>

Not sorted in any particular order.

Some explanations for novel tags:
* [Serious/Fun] = whether the novel is read seriously or for fun
* [Early rec] = early recommendation that can change later

Novels that don't have a page:
Rust [RUST] (러스트 [ RUST ]) = A novel that starts out like a gangster movie... with the beginning of an apocalypse happening in the background. Absolutely fantastic execution with events that flow in a believable fashion. This is a great example of how an apocalypse novel should be done. (https://novel.munpia.com/279551) <<less

No description.

I will need to find time and read these kids soon!
