All stuff I've read till the end and ranked by personal preference. The ones at the front are more accurate, the ones at the end are unsorted. ... more>>

My preference: Meandering slow-burn novels like Mao Ni's stuff get extra points. Harem/romance/face-slapping power fantasies get minus points. Completed novels get bonus points, and terrible endings get points knocked off. Also plus points for character building friends/family/enemies and down points for solo yolo.

English ones not included in rankings: Worm, Pact, Mother of Learning, The Perfect Run, Twig, Lightning is the Only Way, Master this Poor Disciple Died Again Today, Unable to Cultivate I can only Raise Soul Pets

A list containing novels with zero harem[love triangles in some] and good stories to my preference. Not tags as there is no central themes. But... more>> I can promise you that there is no filler stuff in my recommendations.I will be updating the details and why you should read them often enough. And don't go with the way they are queued, as things may vary from person to person, just take them as a list.If you want to use MTL for novels... use comrademao.. its the closest with OG quality I have come across, they use some good software. <<less

Just a list of recommendations that I think is worth looking into. List is not sorted to any ranks of any sort. Its added only when I remember to add a novel into the list.... more>>

Your mileage may vary. <<less

Great novels where the MC is not a "human"... more>>

There are a lot that can be mentioned, but those are from the best I have read. <<less

List of various novels, from scheming to plots to evil MC to low-key MC with side characters that are worth something

Most Japanese novels have either a Beta MC or an ending that rips open your heart with tragedy. Koreans have a problem with their moral compass and Chinese think that the only way to live is through DOMINANCE... There are very few novels where the MC is not a typical douche-bag...... more>>

In the middle of all these distortions, there are a few novels that stand out and can be named as great enough to keep in memory...

In my list, I recommend my favourites... Any discontent with the list can be discussed after you show me a better list... <<less

Somehow i really like these books

S tier - absolute masterpiece ... more>>

A tier - excellent

B tier - really good

All of the novels have enough chapters, have something special and are my favourites, therefore there are no bad novels here.

Of course this is purely my opinion. <<less

Great Books, various tags/genres... more>>

Refer to list 5/5 rating for my first choice of novel <<less

I find it difficult to find good books, so do you I guess, and ratings are usually deceptive.... more>>

This is my list of best TL reads, hope it helps.
Novels with below 4 ratings: first impression last impression syndrome.

Some books have incomplete/ bad translations but have great stories.(i mtled)

I will keep updating the list. <<less

I dislike ret*rds!!!!! Too much emotional mc is also a big no~~~~~~... more>>

Extremely kind mc is also meh... 

Lets be realistic everything is meh in front of benefit oriented mc.... But they are hard to find......

Ranking after first 3 is useless.  <<less

The real good shit, no harems. ... more>>

I tend to prefer rational, antihero type protags so there may be a bit more evil ones in the list. I am also incredibly picky, so I can vouch for the quality of every single novel in this list.

This list is in order. <<less

I'm just sharing what I love, maybe you'll also learn to love it. Who knows! <<less
