Every time I visit the front page of NU and I see a long title for a JP WN, I know its story and characters are going to be shallow and a waste of my time . I've been sick of the infinite number of the "fantasy RPG" Japanese WNs out there and Chinese WNs that drag on for thousands of chapters. Korean novels tend to be better in that respect by having a unique story and being easy to read without seeing half the chapter used up to describe insignificant details. ... more>>

Yeah there's still some isekai novels here but at least it's going to have good progression and character growth. <<less

Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists... more>>

More info on what i am searching: (The title may not be entirely accurate.)

Evil mc ( someone who do not care about other people, and can do anything for his goals )

Ruthless mc ( someone who do not hesitate to kill )

Neutral mc ( Neither a good person, nor a bad person, But care more about his own profits, Rational-Pragmatic type of route )

No Romance ( For this one, i also mean, less romance or none maybe, as well. No romance and no female lead are different. )

No Heroine ( i will use this word for those novels where there is no female lead. ) This is a word you find usually in mtl.

Sharing a Discord Invite Code, For Evil mc novels, But only MTL. Discord invite: ywyGwvK5ns. 

P.S: My reviews might be rough sometimes, but they're my honest thoughts. I wouldn't share a novel in here if I didn't think there was something worthwhile. Use them as a guide and decide for yourself. Treat each novel like a Poison Test. Enjoy your reading! <<less

The order is random  <<less

For the novels that don't just expose endless descriptors, but also have a clever and well thought out story to tell. Whether it be tragic grinds that test your limits or joyful romps that celebrate life, these novels are things that I consider fulfilling reads from cover to cover. The novels that I unironically think are well written.... more>>

I have a bit of a hard on for Korean Novels in particular. It's just because of the stylistic choices these authors make. If Chinese Novels are about blood-thirsty, cruel, never-ending, arrogant, one-sided and shallow stories; and Japanese Novels are about weak-willed, nonsensical, piddling constantly hesitant stories; then Korean Novels are a different beast all together.

There are also novels that I REALLY loved reading but have no entries on this site. These novels are *legally* hosted on WebNovel and elsewhere. I will list the novels that struck me as abnormally good here in the description.

Take the ranking of the novels with a grain of salt as it isn't really well ordered at the moment. <<less

(just for organization)... more>>

stories that mainly follow an MC who's 'too busy for romance'- zero romance plot (almost)- majority of them are reincarnation stories, and I found more male-leading stories that fit the requirements. <<less

I dropped a hell lot of novels.... more>>

If you think any of the listed series are hidden gems, please please please let me know in the comments (and the reasons behind ur recommendation) because I'm running outta stuff to read. Harem is a banned genre though. <<less

List is not ranked in order <<less

Good stories of all kinds that I'm reading or have read. I'm sure you'll find something you like and are interested in.

This is a list of read where the mc is a solo male lead that isnt easily swayed by romance or girls like those in japanese typical harem story. They got their priorities stright, and eyes on the price. ... more>>

Some may clash with the male protagonist of their series, some even become bff in their conquest. <<less

Novels that have a decent MC involved in either Apocalypse-Setting, Fighting against Monster and or within Dungeon. No Harem allow in this list. BL are Okay :D ... more>>

What I love to read. ... more>>

PS: No particular order <<less

All these series in my reading list are WNs/LNs that are masterpieces. I have personally read most of them and their quality can be guaranteed. Most of the series I recommend are fully translated/ have decent amount of chapters translated. The novel are ranked in no particular order; all these series are masterpieces of their own right, it is unfair to rank them by how good they are. ... more>>

*Take note that some of these completed series have dead links, you can search google for other sources to read them. Trust me its worth your time. <<less

Basically what the title says. I absolutely detest Harems but I'll still keep Pseudo Harems here (MC isn't married to a lot of chicks but there's plenty who like and spend time around him anyway). I feel having Harems decreases the overall quality and its hard to talk about true love while the MCs banging 100+ women on the regular (which Chinese authors like to write about for some reason). I have no problem with Romance, although I do feel Webnovel authors aren't really cut out to write about it.... more>>

Some other things I'll exclude are ultra-nationalism (china numba 1!), Novels without Harems but the MC still plays around with/f*cks a lot of women

There's no real restrictions on whether it's serious or comedy, although comedy generally has more permavirg*n!MCs  <<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

(not in any particular order)

Sometimes, romance and the many love interests make good novels mediocre or rubbish, so this list has the top novels that either don't have romance at all, just bromance or some romance but no harem.... more>>

All of them are action and adventure novels or both and are at the top of any series ranking list, so happy reading! <<less
