I've read a bunch of webnovels, thought I'd list my favorites for others to enjoy

Exactly as the title says! Lately I got addicted to novels where the protagonists are males so I decided to make a list ～(つˆДˆ)つ｡☆... more>>

Mostly no romance, or background romance.

Ranked from the most enjoyable read to the least for me.

Part II: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/74124... more>>

No romantic drama, no yaoi, no villainess, no nonsense. Pretty much only action, adventure, and progression fantasy here. <<less

I will need to find time and read these kids soon!

Essentially, either a weak or strong protagonist has subordinates or people who are all very loyal and protective/possessive of him. Most of them are stronger than the MC. There are mainly male protagonists, but female protagonists are included.... more>>

NO HAREM OR ROMANCE-FOCUSED NOVELS! Contains mainly friendship or comradeship-focused Novels.

Other Novels/Mangas that can't be found on novelupdates: Eleceed (Manhwa), How to Survive as a Terminally-Ill Dragon (Manhwa) <<less

Mainly (but not only) with male protagonists and without romance or with romance sub-plot (without harems). Fantasy and action oriented. As of now, not that many novels, because I'm quite picky with them so oof,,... more>>

I have a lot more novels saved in my reading lists, so feel free to check them out, if you are looking for something with similar vibes, that isn't on this list yet. 

Novels on this list are also pretty generic (similar themes and settings). Despite that I enjoyed reading them in between my classes, great stress relief after exam season! So don't expect to see a whole lot of original novels.  <<less

My favorite interesting novel apart from love-related novels as main points, there other theme like war, hero etc (I'll put system-related novels here as well)... more>>

If you want to find other novel besides this category, there are another recommend list : BL or BG novel. (I even made list about father mission novels hahahah) <<less

PT. 2 IS NOW POSTED!... more>>

*please recommended more like this to me*

Korean Novels about men who have either reincarnated, got a second chance, or transmigrated, woke up in another body, into noble sons, side-characters, villains, or extras. They sometimes have animal companions, and definitely have loyal followers.  <<less

Definitely have to read this.

Smart MC, good plot, and probably the apocalypse in the background

No description.

The first list is a complete one. ... more>>

Since I can only add 100 books per list, I'll continue here. I can't believe that I could even find so many books, I didn't think it'd be possible when I started the first list.Y'all can check out the first list, there might be some similarities, but I'm too lazy to check lol. If there are novels that have romance in the later stages in both lists, please let me know.

This is all shounen novels, whether middle-aged or modern time! \(･◡･)/ Also a lot of transmigration, rebirth, or maybe the mc is just a real resident of that world. There is some of harem or bl, but mostly the mc have no love interest so rest assured! Well, sometimes I tolerate some novel with harem because it's too good even though I don't like the genre very much~... more>>

Ps. On the front is my own personal rating, not the general rating of the book. <<less

This is to help my s*upid brain never regress further due to being addicted in reading novels with lack of common sense and questionable plot holes. And to also prevent myself from always having to lower my standard to the point of being brain dead.... more>>

Most often no romance but with male protagonist. As much as I always read everyday, only some stories really piqued my interest. So here's my list of unforgettable novels I've read here.

Just to mention, I won't add some KR dungeon tropes and CN wuxias, xuanhuans, xianxias since I find it more generic and full of plot holes (and armors).

I've been an avid NU reader since 2018? Yet this is my first time setting an account because I really want to create this list for my fellow comrades.

Ah, please do not hesitate for some recommendations I forgot to add! <<less

Isekai and transmigration with good plots. A lot of them focused on world building and the occasional kingdom building
Also has unique reincarnation and time traveling stories. ... more>>

Mind the tags as the list contain yuri and yaoi <<less
