I am not a fan of Harem. These are novels focused in plots I have read, no BG or BL.

Serious/Seinen themes with as less cliché elements as possible. Preferably clever and calm MCs. No harems, maybe one odd love interest but nothing frivolous. Negligible... more>> comedy tropes.  <<less

List contains my favorite action/horror/psychological thrillers. Some will question ones humanity but I do love antiheroes.... more>>

I like my MC strong but they're way cooler if they're clever enough to outsmart the enemies. Or should I say cunning?

PS:haven't read all BL novels listed yet, but just keeping it here so I wont forget.

The list contains the best novels that I read in terms of pleasure, not quality. The novels may be okay, but I prefer them... more>>

After the first place, the order is considered random

I will start documenting my observations about it. They may not be accurate due to the long time that has passed since I read novels years ago. Nevertheless, they serve as a summary of my experience with them. I might attempt to organize them from best to least preferred as well.

I Have An Impenetrable Fortress IHIF <<less

Novels that have interesting plots.

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

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
