Harem stories can go away. I'm tired of that sh*t.

Novels that fall under the category/theme that shows the 'Dark' side of humanity and the Main Character must also be on [~Neutral to Evil Faction~]... more>>

Since this is gonna be a collection of known novels that I obviously not read yet... I will 'automatically' rank them based on their current 'Star Ratings' [Of course feel free to debate which should be higher on the list and which should not, As we all know... ratings can sometimes can't be trusted]

Novels with no description means only one thing of these two; either I have not read that Novel in question or I have no time to add one <<less

These are the novels that drew me into Wuxia, Xianxia, and Xuanhua and made me a fan.... more>>

They might not always be the best in every aspect, but they are epic, amazing, and the classics. Enjoy them, enjoy the young masters getting stomped on, enjoy the mc's going from beeing a weak insect to beeing a great cultivator stealing the hearts of the ice cold beauty by lucky coincidences.

Enjoy the old beast reincarnated, Enjoy the new worlds, enjoy the journey!

Mostly CN, some KR if they are good, and no JP. Please follow the list if you enjoyed it, and comment if I'm missing something too good. <<less

I feel really bad when I start reading a good novel thinking that it's quite good and doesn't have useless & annoying harem  it turns... more>> out to be one. It's seriously annoying.

Webnovels: f*ck WEBNOVEL, sh*t ASS SITE, PIRACY W

Shadow s*ave: "I can't believe I am still finding good novels to read. This is one of the best novels I've ever read and is incredibly well written. Deep plot, good apocalypse setting, characters are incredibly lifelike, real emotion. Solo leveling but done so much better in a sense. Enough said." #1.5

Paragon of Sin: "Very very very very good. MC is cool, not very generic, a different feeling all together while still being a cultivation ln. Enough said." #0.5

Birth of the Demonic Sword: "Falls off at the end but rly cool, dark, and powerful mc. Enough said." #10.5

Divine Emperor of Death: "Man has cheats but somehow it doesn't take away from the overall story. Harem as well. Enough said."   #18.5

Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner in the Apocalypse: "Very similar to God and Devil in the beginning but then changes for the worst, it feels like a self-insert type thing. Also the mc is brainless and s*upidly op. Enough Said." #26.5

Chao's Heir: "From the same author of BotDS and it greatly dissapoints. There's so much things wrong with this one that it would take me a day to get into the details. Do not read. Only s*upid ass webnovel ppl would read this, the reviews were probably botted too. I can't believe its the same author, dude must've been going threw something idk. Enough said." #40.5 <<less

I hate harem. Why? Because most of the time it leads the story to a direction that's not pleasing. And most of all I don't... more>> fantasize about having thousands of girl on my lap.  Hell I'm not even interested in romance . Anyway this list contains novels that have zero harem and maybe it will have novels that have romance, but almost all of them are not focused on romance
So enjoy (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ <<less

Novels similar to solo leveling or The Novels Extra which has game elements and op protagonists ... more>>

After 5 years of reading, wanted to make a list of my favorites novels so far. Not a ranking list but the first ones are the novels that impressed me the most so you can consider that a sort of ranking. Updating as i keep reading.... more>>

edit: years are now 8, adding novels in the next days <<less

A list containing novels with zero harem[love triangles in some] and good stories to my preference. Not tags as there is no central themes. But... more>> I can promise you that there is no filler stuff in my recommendations.I will be updating the details and why you should read them often enough. And don't go with the way they are queued, as things may vary from person to person, just take them as a list.If you want to use MTL for novels... use comrademao.. its the closest with OG quality I have come across, they use some good software. <<less

Some apocalyptic novels I'm interested in 

No description.

 Most are romantic genre.

In no particular order. Props to anyone else who has read them all.

A few hidden gems ... others not so much but all of them totally worth the read. List spans quite a few genre such as Fantasy, sci-fi, cultivation, management, mystery.... more>>

Not all novels in the list will have top ratings. In my opinion the best novels are rated around 3.2 - 4.5. Anything over is mostly BL or FL with some exceptions. Anything below is mostly tr*sh with minor exceptions of novels for people with very specific taste. 

PS: All my recommendations are based on MTL. I rarely read human translated versions ..  <<less

I've read many Isekai novels(mostly JP) and many of them suck... Dense MC, trying to make this foreign world to be Japan/Earthlike and In Japan killing is wrong so I will not kill anyone here ... also I don't disrespected women so I'm just gonna ignore their feelings and not go out with them and will keep adding more trying my best to make them fall for me and then ignore them type of sh*t.. if you are tired of the nonsense I just mentioned then give these a try.... more>>

Here are some worthy mentions from Qidian, give them a try:

1. Chrysalis.

The list will keep on expanding as I read more good ones. <<less

Where are my ghosts!? Where are my futuristic worlds!? Right here on this list!! I honestly love horror and sci-fi too much not to make a list with all my favourites in it~ Nothing beats a good game of body part tag or a Sci-fi doomsday/space exploration.  I really love the type of protagonist who sees a ghost and pretends that nothing has happened, or the type that wants to make friends with them. So essentially, even though I tagged smart protagonists, there are gonna be some dumbasses in here :P ... more>>

This list will contain:
- smart protagonists 
- Sci-fi worlds
- many ghosts
- no teenage angst syndrome *cough japan…wait what!?
- no harems
- some accidental yaoi (that contains horror...)

The top 10 are my current favourites and the list is kinda in order? But who knows.  <<less

 I just share the stories that I read at least 1000 chapters of and didn't die of cringe or disappointment in the middle (too common)... more>>

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

Sometimes, romance and the many love interests make good novels mediocre or rubbish, so this list has the top novels that either don't have romance at all, just bromance or some romance but no harem.... more>>

All of them are action and adventure novels or both and are at the top of any series ranking list, so happy reading! <<less

little to no romance

My top novels. Low-key mainstream with generic rinse and repeat plot points but w/e. Still love the genre and writing style.
