Isekai is tr*sh, but so am I.  Who am I to judge? We got Yaoi, Yuri, ecchi, and lots of cringe so we don't discriminate... more>> as long as the story is decent. <<less

This a list of my all-time favourite stories. Adding reviews in-progress. (May take over a long span of time.) Novels are sorted in descending worthwhileness.... more>> (Again from perspective.) <<less

I have been reading novels in novelupdates for close to 4 years already and it is nice to have a place where i can share... more>> my experiences with everyone. These is my favorite novels so far. I can't say that i am a professional reader but I can assure you the quality of all the novel in these list. I hope you guys enjoy it ^^ <<less

A twist on the Summoned Hero/Saint cliche. The MC is summoned to another world, only to be told, that the summoners "made a mistake" and... more>> that the MC isn't the Hero/Saint because they either have a skill deemed as useless or are otherwise different from the summoners' preconceived idea of the Hero/Saint. This leads to the MC being increasingly scorned and ridiculed, until they are eventually abandoned by the very group that brought them here. Generally, the MC then either makes a discovery about their seemingly tr*sh skill or otherwise obtains something that makes them into an OP cheat. <<less

List of favourites based mainly on:... more>>

isekai in any form (reincarnation etc.),  game elements, overpowered protagonist, country building and management, army building, modern knowledge in fantasy world and technological gap, crafting .

MC is pretty much always in control, always has a plan and always ends up on top. Or just has plot armor.

I don't exclude harems (even bad ones), if novel is good by itself. 

No yaoi. No pure wuxia or xianxia.

I don't include novels that are too short (less than 20-100 chapters depending on chapter length).

Some of novels may not be available on NU or be incomplete, but they are somewhere in web.

Novels are mainly Korean or Japanese. There are some Chinese novels included but they are either heavily west-influenced or not cultivation oriented. Basically, they are not Chinese-heavy if You know what I mean. The World Online is the only exception, as I simply skipped most of boring chapters.

Novels are kind of sorted best to "worst", though last novels on list my be unsorted at all. <<less

*(I will add novels in which I can personally vouch for the translation quality or novels where the story is interesting enough that you can somewhat ignore the crappy quality)... more>>

Fun to read and exciting novels for shounen readers <<less

Isekais are fun reads when done right, cringey when generic, and horrible when done wrong.... more>>

Sorted from Best to Worst with the ratings being pretty biased.

Honorable Mentions: The Beginning after the End (NOT ON NU) {4.35/5} It's cool, that's all I can really say.

临渊行 SS+ (Lin Yuanxing or Journey on the Brink of Abyss). Oct 21.
Mother of learning SS-. Jan 21.
Original Wizard B+. ~ Apr 21.

SSS - it was incredibly interesting for me to read, I consider it an excellent work, the shortcomings do not strike my eye.

SS - it was very interesting for me to read, I consider it a good work, some shortcomings are striking.

S - I was very interested in reading, the work may be shit, but I was interested in something and did not want to pay attention to the shortcomings.

A - it was interesting for me to read, I think the work is at least normal, there may be many flaws.

B - it was interesting for me to read, it may be shit, there are many shortcomings, but I ignore some.

C - it was a little interesting for me to read, I think the works are shit, there are a lot of shortcomings.

Estimates can be corrected and specified. The meaning can be distorted due to translation.

Although imo the most correct classification would be: what I finished reading was interesting to me at that moment, and what I never finished reading was not. <<less
