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

A list of memorable stories I read on novelupdates that covers mostly survival stories, reincarnation in non-human beings, second chances in other worlds and novels that felt unique in some way.... more>>

More often than not, stories I included had some grim parts to them. Where I find it necessary, I'll put a warning. 

Some stories are simply positive. Not everything needs to be dark. <<less

The best I've seen so far.... more>>

Shadow s*ave: "I can't believe I am still finding good novels to read. This is one of the best novels I've ever read and is incredibly well written. Deep plot, good apocalypse setting, characters are incredibly lifelike, real emotion. Solo leveling but done so much better in a sense. Enough said." #1.5

Paragon of Sin: "Very very very very good. MC is cool, not very generic, a different feeling all together while still being a cultivation ln. Enough said." #0.5

Birth of the Demonic Sword: "Falls off at the end but rly cool, dark, and powerful mc. Enough said." #10.5

Divine Emperor of Death: "Man has cheats but somehow it doesn't take away from the overall story. Harem as well. Enough said."   #18.5

Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner in the Apocalypse: "Very similar to God and Devil in the beginning but then changes for the worst, it feels like a self-insert type thing. Also the mc is brainless and s*upidly op. Enough Said." #26.5

Chao's Heir: "From the same author of BotDS and it greatly dissapoints. There's so much things wrong with this one that it would take me a day to get into the details. Do not read. Only s*upid ass webnovel ppl would read this, the reviews were probably botted too. I can't believe its the same author, dude must've been going threw something idk. Enough said." #40.5 <<less

I didn't grow up as a reader. It's just something I was never interested in as a kid. It's not something I'm proud of but I even made fun of my sisters for reading as a kid... who would've guessed I would turn into a reader myself? Not only that but own a site related to reading!... more>>

Anyways, these are the novels that really got me addicted to this awesome community! <<less

I hate harem. Why? Because most of the time it leads the story to a direction that's not pleasing. And most of all I don't... more>> fantasize about having thousands of girl on my lap.  Hell I'm not even interested in romance . Anyway this list contains novels that have zero harem and maybe it will have novels that have romance, but almost all of them are not focused on romance
So enjoy (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ <<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

This is a list for my personal 0.1%. ... more>>

List is not ranked in order <<less

No description.

After reading many novels I reached the conclusion that (for a male at least) the perfect novel needs 3 ingredients to satisfy the reader without boring him:... more>>

1 - STRENGTH : Constant MC drive to Increase his power/strength via cultivation or other means. The greater the obstacles he overcomes, the hardship, and the explosion of his power after he strengthened himself, the greater is the psychological reward. Examples: I Shall Seal The Heavens, Against The Gods, The Desolate Era.

2 - BEAUTY : An unending series of beauties in distress, with saving them as the main motivation to go on with the story. The MC should not be necessary a righteous person, but he should have a soft spot for damsels in distress. The beauties must not necessarily become part of the MC harem, they just need to be grateful to him. Examples: Womanizing Mage, Ancient Strengthening Technique, Battle Through the Heavens.

3 - WISDOM : The MC must outsmart his enemies. The most cunning, the better. Battle strength alone is not going to keep interest in the long run. Scheming and strategy, especially long term grand designs and political ploys, keep the story interesting. Antagonists also need to be crafty to make defeating them a rewarding experience. EXAMPLES: Legend of Ling Tian, Nirvana in Fire, Transcending the Nine Heavens.

So the formula is Xianxia/Xuanhuan + Save-The-Beauties + Cunning Protagonist.

This is a list of the best novels of this kind. <<less

 Most are romantic genre.

In no particular order. Props to anyone else who has read them all.

A few hidden gems ... others not so much but all of them totally worth the read. List spans quite a few genre such as Fantasy, sci-fi, cultivation, management, mystery.... more>>

Not all novels in the list will have top ratings. In my opinion the best novels are rated around 3.2 - 4.5. Anything over is mostly BL or FL with some exceptions. Anything below is mostly tr*sh with minor exceptions of novels for people with very specific taste. 

PS: All my recommendations are based on MTL. I rarely read human translated versions ..  <<less

You will find quite a diverse list of suggestions here. ... more>>

Recommendations are welcome

List is not in any particular order mainly because it is a bit hard to rank my favourites <<less

MY ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTEEEEE FAVORITE!

We are excited by a novel where the protagonist raises a Sect, Clan, Kingdom or Empire from mediocrity to greatness.... more>>

The novels on the list are not better or worse, judge according to your criteria.

I will try to put novels of 1000 chapters or complete. <<less

Ayo lez go baby

These are novels which I fell in love with as I read them, to the point where I have read them multiple times. ... more>>

Every one of these novels I've read to the end whether I read the translated version or MTL them

There is no particular theme with these however Quick transmigration and BL novels make up a large majority of the list but there is also some BG and xianxia <<less

Finding good fantasy weak(or not so weak)-to-strong novels is a pain. Therefore, this list has been made to help you find the good stuff without having to touch manure!... more>>

Individual reviews are work in progress. If you have suggestions, please give them, I need more reading material. I also recommend checking out anything by Vihyungrang, Andur, or LupineKing on Royal Road. <<less

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
