Honestly, are there any webnovels that are objectively good? ... more>>

Flawless? Without dragging on endlessly, trailing off into a nothing ending or meandering on with a directionless plot? 

I haven't found many and I sure have read a lot.

A lot.

Many that I'm not proud of. The type of novel that if my friends and family found me reading might cause another Isekai.

But also, in the filth and garbage that I often see festering on NU there are plenty of gems to look out for. 

And plenty to avoid.

Keep In mind all these reviews are just my opinions.

Ps. Check the comments for novel recommendations that aren't on NU

PPs: although they are my opinions, you are objectively wrong if you disagree. <<less

A list of stories with main characters who range from selfish and socially awkward to just plain flat-out jerks. Sometimes the author tries to hide it, other times they show off with shoddy justifications.... more>>

Doesn't necessarily make the story bad, though it never makes the story better (unless that's the kind of jerk you need...) <<less

This is a list of things I have read which I think are great from the perspective of 'quality of craft' & 'quality of story'. In general those will be great reads for everyone as well, but will less include 'because I like this' focused listings of other 'great so long as you like this' stories.... more>>

That said, there are only so many 'objectively great' stories, so farther down the list I will put caveats (etc.) with less 'full measure' stories- either 'just good', or 'great if you like this', etc. I moved all the anri-social protags to another list.

If you know of something I should add to this list, feel free to comment a suggestion or PM.

I have written quite a few reviews for most of these and other works- feel free to check them out, and vote them up if you find them helpful. Thanks! <<less

I'll be listing some of the novels that I've read that have the following criterion for the ranking:... more>>

A. Story Quality

B. Translation Quality

C. Entertainment Value

Note: Series on the list are from CN, JP and KR. Also, novels have Male Protagonist, which will either have a. heteros*xual romantic interest, or b. undeclared/undecided. Strictly no Yaoi pairings. <<less

Not all novels are masterpieces. And not all novels need to be one. There are many marvelous novels to read even if they don't reach the peak. This list will be a list of all those novels that made me feel full and satiated.... more>>

Many of these novels have obvious negatives. Some of them aren't even finished in their original language. But they are worth reading anyhow.

This will be a list of my favourite novels after reading Chinese, Korean, and Japanese novels for the last ~7 years. ... more>>

I will generally focus on Xianxia, Harem, and Romance. However, there will also be novels noted for world building, character development, or other standout features. I will concede my preferences are greatly skewed towards a well done polygamous relationship, possibly due to years of reading dense blushing beta JP harem LNs where even with a harem ending, even is all smiles and sunshine unlike the actual anarchy that should happen. So a proper harem takes priority.

The majority of them will be completed novels - whether by having a proper TL, a complete edited MTL, or both. I will not consider a completed novel that requires me to use Google Translate for the whole thing. By edited MTL, I mean on websites such as novelhi[dot]com.

I have well over 50 novels in mind worthy of this list. So, it’ll take a while to note all of them as I intend to give at least a brief comment on every single one. I will try to order them in terms of best to worst. Though this order will be skewed due to sequels, because I subjectively prefer a novel over its objectively superior competitor, or that various novels are all roughly equal imo.

I'll also list some more novels that aren't on NU:
- Villain: The Play of Destiny
- Han Yu's Light and Shadows <<less

I'm still working on it... more>>

This is just a list of Novels I have read, list includes good and bad stuff based on my preference

Novels Not Listed on this website

> Dimensional Descent---------it has too much filler info about the power up system, which I have completely ignored. The rest of the plot is interesting enough to keep reading, 

>Re : Evolution online <<less

Stuff that is underrated and its rating does not reflect its quality. I will only include stuff that has a rating of 4.0 and below except for rare exceptions in no particular order. Most of these are gonna be Harem and/or Chinese since they tend to be underrated. Also, I won't be putting Toika novels in here cause they're all just mass-produced junk food even if there are a couple thats kinda nice.... more>>

Unless I point out otherwise, you can expect the translation quality to be very good.
It's probably gonna be a short list since I'm not infallible to the ratings either. I tend to pick and choose what I read based on ratings

P.S. If a josei is rated ass, it's ass. Prove me otherwise my giving me recommendations (doesn't have to be josei) and I might add it to this list. <<less
