Novels that kept me entertained the whole way, consuming my life until I was finished with them. Not quite perfect but damn close... more>>

Novels are in no particular order <<less

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.

In there are lots of different things, you got generic isekais I first read when I was just starting out with novels, then villainess/otome game novels since I started liking the concept, and since I love female protags. You have oneshots and lots of yuris and some genderbending stories in there since I'm also into that.

What you won't find in here is any BL/yaoi stories, anything with a harem (except for some since I started with isekais), nor tragedy or hard psychological things, I hate those.

Though I got way more than that, since the limit for lists is 100 novels, I'm gonna stop at that

Not privated since I don't see the purpose and maybe you may find a hidden treasure within that list <<less

My favorite novels on this site, in no particular order 

Enter a realm where darkness reigns supreme and malevolent protagonists cast their chilling shadows across the pages of our curated collection. Each book unveils characters of sinister allure, driven by ruthless ambition to achieve their goals by any means necessary. These tales entwine readers in a web of intrigue and suspense, blurring the lines between heroism and villainy. Prepare to be captivated by the enigmatic charm of these nefarious figures as you embark on a literary odyssey into the heart of darkness itself, where morality fades and the allure of evil beckons.

Stuff i've read ages ago that i want to be able to easly look back on, appreciate and reflect on the passing of the time, whenever i go back here.... more>>

This list is based on my sentimentality, memories of time well-spent, of things close to my heart. Not on the novels' quality (you should still check them all out). I will try to sort them somewhat reasonably, at least.

If you think this list is missing some novels, you should cry about it in your closet. If they aren't here, I haven't read them (or liked them enough). Prolly because they got buried in my 'to read' list. (Yuusha, Aruiwa Bakemono to Yobareta Shoujo; tr*sh of the Count's Family; M E M O R I Z E, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint; Sevens; Monster Paradise; Pivot of the Sky; Release that Witch; Reverend Insanity; The Dark King; etc.)
Don't read anything below 50th place on this list, it's not worth it.

Also, this won't ever be updated, I think. <<less

In no particular order.

Ranking 1-30 of my favorites. (still working on it, also set to change order or novels)
