Well first off these are my masterpiece novels and you can be rest assured each of novel here are quality novels that has something for everyone on each of them. But it will heavily depend on your taste whether you will like them or not. I will leave out description for what to expect so even though they are my masterpiece you might not enjoy. Pick carefully.... more>>

And Please ignore the ranking i love each and every novel here equally they cannot be ranked as  each one of them excels in their own genre. And another advise dont trust NU ratings blindly. Who knows you might enjoy the novel very much even though ratings are low. Low-ratings doesnt mean bad novel. I have found myself there and sometimes even though NU ratings were low i really enjoyed the story.

Another thing is there are very less JP/Kr novels here cause good CN novels are wholesome while KR novels are short and sweet but not wholesome. About jap novels though,i have lot of grievance with them, None of Jap novel MC feel humane except the 1% jp novel Mc. Yes i feel sociopathic, Hypocritical, Genocidal, Arrogant, Racist, hotblooded CN mc more humane then jap beta c*ck pu*sy Gary stu mc.  <<less

Also note that you can skip intro in iqiyi! <<less

Everyone has their own preferences and picks.
These are novels that I read. Though some of them I have already dropped.... more>>

In order of how great they are in my view. 

Status: 

Read - I have read it to completion

Up to latest chapters - always up to date with the latest chapters

Waiting for chapters - update frequency is slow, tend to stack up chapters to read

Unplanned Dropped - Dropped the novel with no future plan for it. May or may not continue reading

Temporarily Dropped - Dropped due to inconveniences, fully planned on reading again

[Order is relative to this list and not the subsequent lists]

Here is the best Xianxia Novels in my opinion. Nothing much to say. I didn't count the novels that less than a hundred chapters.

Web novel ranking on Chinese Novel review site. Note many are not translated

On most occasions, I tend to read 1/3~ of a novel to get a feel of things. These are [completed] some personal favorites and also some to pass time. A small summary of the novel which may contain spoilers!... more>>

I started out with Wuxia and explored other genre like Xianxia and Xianhuan. Not a ranking list btw ^^;;

Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng... etc, all great. <<less

After reading many novels I reached the conclusion that (for a male at least) the perfect novel needs 3 ingredients to satisfy the reader without boring him:... more>>

1 - STRENGTH : Constant MC drive to Increase his power/strength via cultivation or other means. The greater the obstacles he overcomes, the hardship, and the explosion of his power after he strengthened himself, the greater is the psychological reward. Examples: I Shall Seal The Heavens, Against The Gods, The Desolate Era.

2 - BEAUTY : An unending series of beauties in distress, with saving them as the main motivation to go on with the story. The MC should not be necessary a righteous person, but he should have a soft spot for damsels in distress. The beauties must not necessarily become part of the MC harem, they just need to be grateful to him. Examples: Womanizing Mage, Ancient Strengthening Technique, Battle Through the Heavens.

3 - WISDOM : The MC must outsmart his enemies. The most cunning, the better. Battle strength alone is not going to keep interest in the long run. Scheming and strategy, especially long term grand designs and political ploys, keep the story interesting. Antagonists also need to be crafty to make defeating them a rewarding experience. EXAMPLES: Legend of Ling Tian, Nirvana in Fire, Transcending the Nine Heavens.

So the formula is Xianxia/Xuanhuan + Save-The-Beauties + Cunning Protagonist.

This is a list of the best novels of this kind. <<less

I grew up with the development of Chinese Web Novels. In the beginning of 21st century, I started reading online novels, when Qidian set about... more>> expanding its business. Eastern fantasy was my favorite type. In every summer and winter vacation, I would read dozens of them. It was a great surprise for me when I heard NovelUpdates, which gave me the chance to create this list and share with you many memorable fantasy novels serving as milestones. <<less

Completed stories with a focus on action, adventure and/or world-building. For my next tier of recommendations, please refer to my [4 Star Stories] recommendation list.

I have decided to makes this list in order to celebrate reaching 150 completed and 400 read novels marks. ... more>>

I don't read/like yaoi, yuri, female protagonist or shoujo novels, so there won't be any on this list. 

In order for a novel to appear here, it must meet the following requirements:

1 - At the very least, I must be up to date with translations. However, in most cases I am up to date with raws or have completed it.

2 - List will only include those novels with an actual plot, MCs who actually work hard and power systems which have something unique about them, because  I am not a fan of novels with dumb MCs with massive luck, who don't have to struggle, collects girls like pokemon, absolutely generic power systems and 0 plot.
NOTE: This does not mean that there won't be harem novels on the list at all. It means that if a harem novel appears, it is because it is that good.

For those novels, which came close but did not manage to enter the list, I made another list :) 

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10810/?ft=yes <<less

Novels that actually are decent to good. Not the usual harem where the MC forget about them, or the face-slapping, restaurant fighting, no brain characters,... more>> and the like. These ones actually have a good plot, magic system (or cultivation), character development, interesting arts/techniques, and side characters. <<less

This list consists of works that, according to my opinion, are masterpieces. I myself am a fan of slow paced novels that tend to start... more>> slow. Alot of the stories here start to get so good later on that I can't even fully express it with words. Also, even though I'm not a fan of tragic or dark novels, some of the ones I've chosen are quite dark and gritty with many plots and schemes. Cheers! <<less

Badass novels that I read, with strong protagonist. 

All genres... more>>

No cliche plot , good mc character , interesting story , something unique , surprise ending, good cliffhanger , with an awsome peripeteia , and at the end we find non-linear narrative .  <<less

Avid reader for a long time, some novels are not an amazing read but are really fun to read and have them moments. The list will be ranked, but its susceptible to the time at which i read them. Hope you like the list and if you want further reviewing on some novel, comment.... more>>

I prioritize stories with well written characters, well written plots, and not repetitive. If the story has that all but doesn't have the "cool" otherwordly feel that we all seek for in this novels, it will not be in here.

PS: I will not include yaoi, yuri or Female Lead novels, since I don't usually read those. <<less
