Sequence is CN- JP- KR- Fluffy- (Comedy)- Exceptions- To-reads. Not ranked by number. 
My descriptions varies greatly from a gist, polished review, impressions, or explains key points.        ... more>>

[Flexible Preferences] 
A. Protags are somehow mostly male but I read both!- interesting, has compelling qualities, flawed with development
B. Entertaining, Distinct, & Creative
C. Steady premise, no TERRIBLE plot hole 
D. Romance: good execution, pacing, build-up, & evokes emotion; no bullsh!t drama & brain-dead denseness
E. Vital, relevant, fleshed-out characters
F. Comedic & Fun
G. Danger, Wars, Battles, Strategy, Tactics, Trials, Fights, Thriller, Suspense
H. Lore, Culture, Kingdom, Worldbuilding 
I. Political Intrigue, Schemes, Mind Games, Manipulation, Mystery
J.  Pure tragedies rarely - it hurts!
K. No BL/GL(yet?)
L. Can be R-18 
M. Polygamous-like IF great story | even if you're averse consider my recs. ;)

[Criteria]
1. These are (mostly) 4/5 stars in story, translation and enjoyment according to my flawed evaluation that is mainly 3/10 objective, 7/10 subjective.
2. I have perused the novels or adaptation before sharing my thoughts.
3. Writing must be consistent, coherent and engaging and the ending must at least not be sh!t. Clichés to a point are fine however it needs to be purposeful & executed well. 
4. I will keep adding books that are promising, satisfying, translated.  <<less

quote of the day

Part I: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/28818... more>>

Part 2 of my endless search for halfway decent KR novels. This list is filled with random novels that won't finish translating until my future mortgage is paid off. <<less

This List will include the novels that I have enjoyed throughout the years. It includes Japanese, Chinese and Korean.... more>>

Before I start, I will give a brief description of what I think is a good novel. Due to these reasons a lot of "popular" and "famous" novels may not be included in the list.

1. No Dense Protagonist. He has to have a brain and a sense of awareness.

2. Good plot and storyline. There can be plot holes but it should not be overpowering.

3. Good character development. Important characters should not be forgotten.

4. Decent romance. It can be harem, but the female protagonists should be more than just Dolls that the MC have collected.

5. It can even be ero, as long as it clears the above mentioned criterias.

6. Most important of all, the novel has to keep me interested till the end. <<less

Another story is: "Tyranny of Steel" The story progress something like Release That Witch. MC makes Austria become a power house by introducing gun technology... more>> in an era of cold weapon. Some reader says its unacceptable since MC does not have super power like the witches in Release That Witch but the author keep mentioning the MC have an almost photographic memory and he is an engineering soldier who focus on technology knowledge. Warning: MC is grooming his teenage fiancé to be his wife. There are s*x scenes too. (Recommended but with warning: Adult/Mature tag.)  <<less

Rare Gem > Gem > Good > Average > tr*sh

if your bored read this list, it will entertain you trust... more>>

PS: Mount Tai

if you guys have anything to say, feel free to say it in the comments. This list is more inclined toward romance but it does have some books that are Action only or MC only and have no romance.

There is no order, almost all if not all books are pretty good to most people

this list does include BL but it's only like once or twice! <<less

In this list, there will be a variety of novels that I have read throughout my journey. There are also some novels that I'm planning to read as well. Nevertheless for the ones I have read, I will try add some descriptions. ( may not have enough time, but I'll try my best). I've read about 90% of what is included in this list, so it'll take quite long to review all of them ( I would rather spend time reading novels). ... more>>

Unfortunately, there's a limit to the number of novels I can add to this list. That's why I may trim down the list so I can add other novels.  <<less

Historical romance set in ancient China. (Boy x Girl)... more>>

Known BE removed. I tried to put the most recent completed first. But it isn't in any particular order, for the ones at the end. Just the order I found it. <<less

As the list name says

Haven't read all of these yet. Leave a comment if you know another good tragedy/angst novel. ^-^

- Not romance centred, can't wait to read, mostly cultivation based, apocalyptic or fantasy, involves time travel.

Legit wuxia (the only wuxia series translated) with some semblance of martial arts, not cultivation and alchemy. These are not level up, face-slapping or MC... more>> d*ck polishing. You want chivalry? Schemes? Minimal "boom, bang, crash" sequences for combat and actual combat descriptions? I have you covered. The main themes are brotherhood, family, history, conspiracy, solving mysteries, romance and chivalry <<less

The ones that I think do not focus on romance but in self-improvement or just ruling the world.

ONLY TOP 25 IN SEQUENCE. - WORK IN PROGRESS... more>>

Personal reads i have found worth investing your time in. I have listed these novels based on following parameters:

1) Should have hope of being completed in this lifetime (i hate leaving a novel midway)

2) Should have overarching story and ability to incite suspense or curiosity in reader

3) Good Progression and decent paced cultivation  <<less

It's about the time when an ordinary girl addicted to a romantic novel on a wattpad becomes in love with a translated novel. It's been 6 years after all. How amazing there are so many different genres, different types of MCs, not all about love and not all about good people or heroes.... more>>

Starting with reading all the translated novels that I can be found on wattpad, looking for special sites that translate novels into Indonesian. 

Found "NU" and used Google Translate. It feels like hamster that's never satisfied with putting food on it's cheeks, starts reading MTL and even looking for RAW. <<less

This specific recommendation will help you realize war strategies that can be easily applied to modern conflicts. Afterall who doesn't want to win?

Some Military/Kingdom Building Novels that I read. No particular order. Do note that Oukoku e Tsuzuku Michi and A Step into the Past are R-18. If you have... more>> any recommendations please do comment about it! <<less

Author god's hand involvement in story is very little. Basically no plot armor.
NOT UNLUCKY or DELIBERATELY TRAGIC, BUT ONLY NATURAL. ... more>>

Mc can be defeated, betrayed, disabled, fooled. Teammates can die. Females can be r*ped.  <<less

Exceptional stories about people who wanders in jianghu, albeit with some extra "fantasy spices" in the plot. They are just and psychologically strong, though not always on the right side of the law. They also have high IQ, high spirit of brotherhood, and never waver in the face of obstacles.... more>>

May include BG/BL/harem, because romance are not important in this type of story.

Additional novels:

1. That Person in Jianghu - https://1stkissnovel.love/novel/that-person-in-that-river-and-lake/ - 5 stars+++ - The novel triggered both the spirit of righteousness and poignant feelings. Protagonist wanted a free life with his family and friends, but then continuously dragged around by various unwanted and unwarranted troubles. He managed to get the peaceful life in the end, but lost almost everyone else. Definitely not a happy ending, though not a complete tragedy either; the epitome of wuxia plots. <<less
