A list I would've loved to have when I first started reading WNs. Most of these are beginner novels, mix of genres, and not ranked.... more>>

I haven't gotten to the end and most are still being translated, but they're definitely more plot-focused. If it turns out there's romance in one, I'll just remove it :shrug: <<less

if you're looking at this list then you're probably tired of seeing the same novels over and over again.... more>>

Well then here are some good novels that you might not have seen yet.

Hidden Gems!

here are some other lists I made: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46420/ and https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/47255/  check them out if you're interested <<less

A compilation of my favorites (CN, JP, KR) in alphabetical order.
*read the comments for additional recommendations (original novels)
*will update when I find and read new interesting ones <<less

These are the Novels that caught my attention and most of them are still haven't been read yet. (taking time to read one by one). Except... more>> for the novels that I put comments the rest are not ranked just random order. There are various genres here but mostly in this list are reincarnated, transmigrated, weak to strong. Waiting for more chapters since I can't handle cliffhanging. <<less

Here is the list of the best translated novels you can find, be it Japanese, Chinese or Korean. (This list is based on my taste and subjective opinion and our opinions and taste might differ). Although I tried to rank it, but you should READ all these novels nevertheless, that's a MUST. ... more>>

This list mainly features novels from two genres : ACTION (mainly cultivation novels) and ROMANCE (preferably tragic romance which leaves deep impression on you) and excludes YAOI/BL (not a big fan of those)

If any novel isn't on this list, its because :

1. I haven't read it yet. (Believe me, I have read 300+ big-ass novels if not a thousand)

2. I didn't like it. (It may be good, just didn't suit to my taste)

Apart from this, if you are looking for ORIGINAL novels, you should give the following a try :

1. The Beginning After The End - By TurtleMe

2. The Author's PoV - By Entrail_JI

3. Supreme Magus - By Legion20 <<less

This is the continuation of STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS I and STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS II... more>>

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. 

The novels you're gonna be seeing here is still the same, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, xianxia, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). This time this reading list is still light-hearted and sweet but more xianxia.

We reached the limit, AGAIN. I still have a lot to share so maybe I'm gonna make a no.4 ... maybe

A list of all the things I’ve read since I made a NU account. Most of them ended up being mid. If you want my recommendations, see my other list “The stuff you binge read all night”... more>>

What I tend to like: Strong Characterizations, Character relationships, good world building, excellent writing, great dialogue, realistic romancing (basically mature, not in hs anymore romance)

What I tend to dislike: Shounen (too formulaic and limiting on the stories they’ll tell), Harem (if not for realistic/fit into the story reasons), Romance where the reasons the characters like each other are unrealistic/wish fulfillment/s*upid (I’m looking at you, popular/hot/charismatic girl dates the wet mop of a child cause the plot needs to happen)

Current tropes I have beef with:

1. Girl was protected/saved/impressed once by wet noodle mc in early elementary school, so she’s obsessed with him in high school. Such a lazy plot device and it feels like every damn KOREAN/JP novel has some variation of this. These authors need to talk to real women instead of writing this elementary crap. <<less

Novels that didn't make it to my absolute recommendations list (https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/49238/), but are still worth a read.... more>>

Not sorted in any particular order.

Some explanations for novel tags:
* [Serious/Fun] = whether the novel is read seriously or for fun
* [Early rec] = early recommendation that can change later

Novels that don't have a page:
Rust [RUST] (러스트 [ RUST ]) = A novel that starts out like a gangster movie... with the beginning of an apocalypse happening in the background. Absolutely fantastic execution with events that flow in a believable fashion. This is a great example of how an apocalypse novel should be done. (https://novel.munpia.com/279551) <<less
