not everything here will bad(well some of them depending) it’s just that some are just very cliche or typical

This is a list of the novels I've read, everything rated on a scale of 1-10. I hope it's useful to anyone looking for a new read.... more>>

1-Crap, 2-Dumpster Fire, 3-tr*sh, 4-Bad, 5-Average, 6-Ok, 7-Good, 8-Excellent, 9-Amazing, 10-Masterpiece

I typically record the chapter/volume I left off on and give my rating right after I catch up or put it on hold, so most of these ratings are from when my memory of it was fresh. I've dropped some ratings down a number and bumped others up a number based on how much I remember of the novels at the time of making this list. 

Please leave me suggestions for novels that I should read, or feel free to try and convince me that something on this list deserves a different score than I gave it.  <<less

This is a list of all the spell caster novels I have read over the years. I will give some quick thoughts, how far I have... more>> read, and a rating so far. <<less

This is a list of the best novels I've read (in my own opinion). I'd recommend these to other users on this site

No description.

This list is for people who like a nobody to OP MC type fantasy/Shounen type, with small tragedies and some comedic moments. Feel good stories... more>> of justice overcoming selfishness and evil which are much needed in the world today. They are (I think) all short to medium stories that can be finished in 1 to 6 weeks, I will slowly be adding my own summary and rating so let me know if you agree or not. <<less

I find that many reviews are often in one of two categories, People pretending that they know what they’re talking about but have clearly not analyzed the story they’re reading and reviews that basically are brown nosing the author even though they’re clear problems with the story. ... more>>

I have made this list based on stories which have surprised me, and completely contradicts the reviews.

I mainly started this list because of “Reincarnated As a Sword”, because due to the reviews I picked it up as a joke, but when I started analyzing the characters from the perspective of someone trying to write a reading response, I realized it was a surprisingly compelling story and the people reviewing were just focusing on its flaws or making false preconceptions based on other novels they have read in the past.

So in the end of the day I wish for you to give these novels a chance as novels. Don’t preconceive.  Read as if it was a regular book, not an “isekai”, not a “harem” novel. 

Treat them as what they are. Let those tags EARN themselves, don’t define a book by its tags. <<less

Good Isekai to read. 

What I've fully completed. 

True works of wonder

This list contains titles I am reading or have read so far. I will mostly list those I like and omit the ones I dropped or outright dislike and put them in another list. I probably missed a few because I read a massive lot and can't remember every title ^^... more>>

The novels I have read on this site started mostly in the Wuxia/ Xianxia Genre but with time I came to read more and more KR and JP stuff too. As a result, the contents will revolve around the usual genre tropes so I won't bother with a long list of tags. I don't have a lot of expectations for most titles I casually pick up.

What I consider when actually calling a novel "bad" is mostly bad writing ability (author) or translation quality. Otherwise there are some things like excessive NTR, those mostly have horrendous writing/ storytelling anyway. There are also things I just subjectively find boring of course.

I hope the list contains stuff that you may come to like just as I did :)

The ranking is irrelevant.

Anything, I think is worth a person's time.

You can basically call this list one where I filter out garbo novels and good novels.

Here's also some of the Western novels that I like that you might want to check it out:

Tree of Aeons, Vainqueur the Dragon, Virtuous Sons, Perfect Run, Beware of Chicken, Industrial Strength Magic <<less

I've FULLY read all the ones with no description AND at the top. There's a pretty good romance pattern in my reading, so that's clear. These are in no particular order.... more>>
