The good stuff

A list I'm using to recommend works which I may or may not have read the light novel for, but that I've definitely enjoyed the... more>> adapted version of, whether it's been adapted as a manga, manhua, manhwa, anime, webtoon, etc. I'll try to add notes on what the adaptation is and why I rec it to them, but there'll be a lot on here, so it's gonna be a WIP <<less

A list of novels with women/girls who know what they want, how to get it, and stand up for themselves. ... more>>

Because the first and 2nd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 3rd list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on the 1st and 2nd list will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing the 1st and 2nd list, Go See that 1st!}

List of good jp light novel 

This list has no order and can have girlxboy and boyxboy (and even one or two girlxgirl), as long as the protagonist's soul enters the body of someone else, is here.  Also, there are no harem novels here! (Sorry but I'm not a fan).... more>>

PS: This is not the only list of Transmigration Novels I made (Couldn't put all together because of the limit of 100 novels per list), if you are interested in more Transmigration Novels feel free to check my other lists.  <<less

Among the great novels, there are bound to be ones so good you can't in your conscience lump them together with the rest. The sort that makes you think "if there is one book to represent the genre, it'd be this one"... more>>

That's what this list contains <<less

This is a list of novels that I have personally read. Sometimes, I read the series as a manga/manhwa first then read the novel version of them. Or, I read them as a novel first, then read/watched the adaptations. My notes on the different series will be included. Some might be worth your time... others have adaptations you might want to skip on for various reasons...... more>>

TLDR; Novels with adaptations that I have vetted... Read the notes to know if they are worth your time or not. <<less

The best novels I've ever read. They're not very similar to each other at all, but they all have something incredible about them that made... more>> me fall in love. If I could find them for purchase, I've bought them even after reading the entire thing three times over. Unfortunately, I can't include anything not on Novel Updates, so if you feel like you like my taste in books and want recommendations not searchable on Novel Updates, you can msg me directly! I'm sure I'll get to it eventually.  <<less

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by best/enjoyed the most to least. The ranking within the same number of stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too different to compare with each other haha. All in one spot. The bottom of the list that are my lower rated and unranked/dropped novels, I have moved to  a new list "All Novels I've Read Sorted By Rating (3 Stars & Below + Dropped)" due to a list only having a max of 100. The... more>> other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank. The reason I want to put my rating and reviews straight in the list is because you can't search for a specific user's review in the novel page if there are too many reviews. You will have to search one by one. Its easier to straight up  see why I put the novel in a particular list plus my review in the list itself. Sigh, novelupdates is really not user friendly.

PS: I've made another list to put all the novels I've read rated 3 Stars and below and all the dropped novels because this list is getting long. In the future, this will be basically my Top 100 list. The others will be from ranked 101 onwards. <<less

List of stuff that has a visual adaptation.

Don't just watch the anime this is epic stuff worth reading

Any recommendations are very welcome! All the family/village/kingdom building poor to rich, wealth making business type of stories I've read because this is one of... more>> my favourite tropes of all time! Including any business management! (Just discovered there is a tag for it haha) Its just that usually its not done very well or only the kingdom building is good and the characters and scaling is so bad its not enjoyable to read anymore. The stories included will have things like improving the quality of life of the village/kingdom, introducing modern advancements into an ancient/medieval culture type of place. And with likeable characters to keep you going. I'll only include the novels where I read 100% of it or most of it. Probably won't include any dropped novels. <<less

Any recommendations are very welcome! Stories where nothing really bad happens or if they do, there are really wonderful feel good scenes throughout most of the story. Something warm and sweet to read when stressed to make you smile, laugh or just feel happy. It's ranked according to rating which is basically how much I enjoyed the story. It's not ranked on how heartwarming the story is.... more>>

I wish I can put my own tags but I can't so I'll add some here haha:

Family is Important, Feel Good, Family Love, Warmth, Sweetness, Friends that feel like real friends <<less

No delusional MCs, decent world building, written by an intelligent author, and not disregard because of petty social issues. ... more>>

Aka, good!

More likely than not to be character focused novels with fantasy themes. <<less

Stories I genuinely really reeeeally love. I tried to order them but some of the stories I like for very different reasons so take the... more>> order with a grain of salt!  There are also a lot of stories with my favourite tropes but not as high a quality of writing or TL. It should be able to make me feel a holistic array of human emotions and especially must make me feel that excitement of wanting to know what will happen next! So cannot be a one note pure faceslapping story or just a sweet romance story. However, since there are so few of these, I put stories I enjoyed but isn't quite a favourite too lol Maybe I'll remove the not quite favourites later haha <<less

Good world building isekai with minimal harems. Mix of shoujo/shounen and seinen/josei. Some might have mild background harem, but trying to keep that at a... more>> minimum. <<less

Tropes are not inherently bad, tropes are merely tools to write a good story, but using tropes doesn't mean your story will be good... more>>

This is a list of novels that are excellent, not just good, despite using standard tropes <<less

Works I've read & enjoyed with major characters which I interpret/headcanon as being neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD or CPTSD primarily, since I know more about them)... more>> based how they're portrayed in the text. I'll include notes on the characters I'm referring to within each rec. I'm not a professional, just a neurodivergent myself doing this for fun, so take anything I say with a grain of salt. <<less
