Xianxia and Qi Cultivation are the hallmarks of the Chinese Novels, but the Chinese Web Novel scene has so much more to offer than Qi Cultivation alone.... more>>

Here is a list of the best Chinese Web Novels that don't use traditional Qi Cultivation.

Like my other list, this list is still under construction. If you have any novels you believe deserve to be on this list, please leave them down below in the comments.

Thank you =]

I made a list that includes what I considered the best of the best but I slowly built up a sizable list of novels that I wouldn't consider "great" but were a pleasant/tolerable read regardless. These managed to avoid most of the annoyances I have with novels while remaining interesting enough to keep me reading for a decent amount of time. In no particular order.... more>>

Primarily Career/Shop/Kingdom Development, but there also could be some novels that I like. Most of these novels do not have romance or harem tag as I am not a big fan of these in novels that aren't primarily written as romance.... more>>

Bloom Into You (Regarding Saeki Sayaka)
- The OG novel that got me into the Yuri rabbit hole

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.

Ones I think I have not read a sufficient amount of yet are not on here. Otherwise, I might just not like it

I might add some specially memorable ones even if I didn't enjoy them

Edit: I have stopped most of my activities in reading web novels as of late, so there may be very few updates to this list

Additional recommendations not found on Novel updates:

Here's also some of the Western novels that I like that you might want to check it out:

Tree of Aeons, Vainqueur the Dragon, Virtuous Sons, Perfect Run, Beware of Chicken, Industrial Strength Magic <<less

A list of decent to amazing novels I've wasted evenings on. They may not be literary masterworks, but then again no one actually reads Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Sometimes we just want the literary equivalent of potato chips, not three-star Michelin dishes.... more>>

The novels ARE ordered according to best to 'worst', but all of them are worthy to read in my opinion (and have more than 2 chapters published).

Reviews are structured as follows:

BAD ONE-LINE SUMMARY

TRANSLATION STATUS

The best webnovel in the world will still be poorly received if the translation is bad, non-existent, or locked under $$$. I wished that things were different and that I didn't have to include this criterion, but that's how it is.

STORY DEPTH

In flat one-dimensional novels, it is as if the setting is taking place in a void. Characters, places, and creatures spontaneously appear and disappear out of thin air, and you never quite know what's going on or where it's going on. When reading such a novel, a dragon could literally descend on the capital in chapter 33 out of nowhere to eat the entire royal dynasty and you wouldn't even blink.

CHARACTER DEPTH

Characters with flat personalities are not lifeless, they are literal sock puppets that occasionally do stuff and utter dialogue. You have no idea what such characters do on their free days, nor could you envision how they would interact with you if the two of you were to sit at a café.

WRITING STYLE <<less

This recommendation list will be a list of novels based off my opinion on how much I enioy them, my preferences being particularly obvious within my list.... more>>

(For example, most novels I post will be above 4 stars or have romance elements and I usually avoid harem as well)

Many of these are gems, and if you came looking for something new to read I hope you find something.

1-30 will be romance (mostly rom-com) focused
Past 30 will be novels of all genres that I enjoy.

Honorable Mentions: The Author's POV, Mother of Learning, The Perfect Run, Supremacy Games, Paranoid Mage (Might be a book now), Sylver Seeker, Never Die Twice, Vainqueur the Dragon, Beware of the Chicken, Rock falls, everyone dies.

- Many of these are located on Royal Road. <<less

A list of books where players from Earth come to another world 

First 10-15 novels are placed as actual ranking, everything lower is placed based on adding date so you can ignore actual rank.

For me this list of novels can make me feel enjoy

Non-humans (gods, demons, etc.) who are large in number or feared above all in the world and scarce. Let's see our protagonist survive, with struggles... more>> or overbearing power in their field! <<less

Light novels (but not really)... more>>
