As the title says, they're novels I've read to the end of the latest raws. I tend to read a lot of raws and MTL... more>> to the point where I can make a long list of novels that lost me after a few hundred chapters or even near the end. Here are the ones that didn't. The genres in the list are broad and they all have somewhat of a different plot and settings each. The only thing common between them is that I read them to the latest/final chapter. <<less

Novels I enjoyed/am planning to read in the future. A lot are in the kingdom building, some otome game, some reincarnation. Novels are generally ranked... more>> by page from favorite to least favorite. <<less

Don't expect many harems with characters who can't think for themselves or fall in love with the MC before page 1. Many might have a slow moving plot... have to invest yourself into the characters to find the tragic, beautiful and poignant!... more>>

First, some English original webnovels that are superb and easily googleable (in order of best characters, not necessarily plot): 
1. Trailer tr*sh
2. Iron Teeth
3. Castle Kingside (rewrite)
4. Metaworld Chronicles
5. The Good Student
6. Worm (Parahumans)
7. AnimeCon Harem (18+)
8. Mother of Learning
9. Selena's Reign
10. Double Blind: A modern litRPG
11. Tidal Lock (unfinished)

Note that I've been recently pruning and updating the list to remove some that were just good stories with average characters and move them over to new lists that are top of their genre. You can see all my rec lists at https://www.novelupdates.com/user/10378/tallrice/ <<less

This is a list for my personal 0.1%. ... more>>

List is not ranked in order <<less

It can be the way it was written, the twist at the end or just the overall mood of the story.... more>>

The plot can be anything, from old cultivation, reincarnation in the magic world to the mecha battle in the distant future and space. The rating doesn't have to be high.

It's just...when you read it there seems to be something that made you want to keep reading.

It's that kind of novel..? <<less

A random mix of novels that I find interesting

S tier - absolute masterpiece ... more>>

A tier - excellent

B tier - really good

All of the novels have enough chapters, have something special and are my favourites, therefore there are no bad novels here.

Of course this is purely my opinion. <<less

Protagonists transmigrated into a mob/cannon fodder. No quick transmigrations.... more>>

1-31 Male protagonists

         1-8 Otome game setting

         9-16 other type of settings

         17-31 BL

32- Female protagonists

        32-42 JP/KR (mostly otome game/shoujo settings)

        43-52 CN (mostly josei)

         53-56 GL <<less

Well, almost all my reading list.

Most Japanese novels have either a Beta MC or an ending that rips open your heart with tragedy. Koreans have a problem with their moral compass and Chinese think that the only way to live is through DOMINANCE... There are very few novels where the MC is not a typical douche-bag...... more>>

In the middle of all these distortions, there are a few novels that stand out and can be named as great enough to keep in memory...

In my list, I recommend my favourites... Any discontent with the list can be discussed after you show me a better list... <<less

The best novels <personal preference> available at novelupdates.

Just a list of things I've read

Many kinds of Novels ranging from Sci-Fi to (Dark) Fantasy, Comedy, Romance but mainly Action and Adventure, trying to avoid excessive Harem, Ecchi, Smut, no Yaoi/BL either.... more>>

Roughly sorted from best to weaker Novels (in my opinion). I also try to add descriptions to every Novel I can, if I can think of something to say that isn't already in the synopsis, they might contain minor spoilers though.

I'd like to add two more Novels here that I am reading but aren't listed here because they are Original Works from "Webnovel . com": "World Domination System" and "The Mech Touch". Both are pretty decent and are worth a look. <<less

As far as I'm concerned, you can't trust in the overall novel ranking. ... more>>

I am sure there are different reasons for this development. And without a doubt one of them is a female readers' activity. What I mean is that they are much more active and generous in rating, comment section, lists. etc. If you are looking for proof you can try sorting all the novels by rating and here you will mostly see yaoi, shounen-ai, josei, shoujo, romance. Also, many other novels can't escape their influence. I mean, nobody said that they can't enjoy popular seinen novels, right? I am not saying that it's something bad or trying to stop them, but as a normal, straight guy, I can't enjoy the situation either.

So here comes my personal, manlier than even me, top of the novels I've enjoyed reading!

I can't really describe myself as a picky reader, but I have to spend quite a lot of time looking for something that satisfy my preferences. Which are mainly: 

1. No wimp/beta protagonist. (Life is hard as it is. I see no reason to read about someone's indecisiveness and useless tears.)

2. Protagonist with at least average level of intellegence. Otherwise it's too annoying to read.

3. As a litrpg genre fan i've got a soft spot for stories with different kinds of systems.

I guess that's it. <<less

The best of best isekais, IMO

My favorite ML/MC <3

You want a main character that summons a lot? Well this list is for you!... more>>

Note: NO BL, NO SHOUJO. There is generally romance, could be 1 to 1, could also be harem. No particular order. <<less
