Just a variety of things, mostly completely translated.

Completed series that are not a waste of time. Added benefit of binging and not waiting for updates. No need to be worried if the... more>> series will suddenly be dropped by the translator. Ranked by how much people will enjoy the series as a whole. No BL <<less

These are novels that have good plot, characters and progression.

Most of these novels are about transmigrated and reincarnated women. They are kinda OP (some in luck, intelligence, strength, magic etc.).

Good Military novels - with a female protagonist! ^ - ^

All sorts of genres-comedy, tragedy, post apocalyptic, fantasy, romance, and more!

If you want good novels, then you've come to the right place.... more>>

Though if you are searching for harem novels and cliche titles, then i am afraid that you've come to the wrong place and should probably find another list. I dislike harems, repetitive novels and just bad novels in general. I made this list to invalidate the claims that NU doesn't contain any good novels anymore. I know the vast majority of translated works caters to the harem/anti-hero loving part of the community, but i quite frankly dislike the vast majority of titles in those genres due to how bad they are. As a result, i have created this list to include novels that IMO stand out due the excellent execution in story beats, excellent translations/localization (English primarily) and just have good characters. That's all. <<less

I know many people say that there are no good novels on this site, and it oftens feels like the top lists are filled with overpowered MC's, undeveloped harems, 2D characters, and lacking plots.

There are some novels that stand out, however, whether that be for their plots, characters, or translations.

This is a list for my personal 1%. It is ranked in order. <<less

My go-to Japanese Novels

So these have very interesting premises and are occasionally well written, but these humble and hopeful beginnings will sometimes become the sermon of what not... more>> to do, for example, use a Mary Sue that must be Asian guy or a over powered woman  or a protagonist who is dull in many regards and is either supposedly weak or overpowered. However I will throw some gunine good ones in the mix and it is up to you to see the quality <<less

This is my list of novels that I've really enjoyed. There are probably some I forgot, but I'll add them eventually.

All of the female leads in this list are cool, cold and ruthless 

The list is mix of completed and ongoing novels.... more>>

Genres are circling around shounen, action, and adventures. Please don't expect any romance, if there is, it's slow as a snail. <<less

Mainly reincarnation. I like transmigration.I hate Stallion(Harem) novels. I don’t care if something is Bl/GL/BG, good is good dammit. ... more>>

Also, it may have been a bit since I last read some of these so they aren't 100% in my memory. <<less

To be fair, i am not actually a fan of light novel. but, there are still some gems in this site that i genuinely like. Novels on this list are mostly korea and china, since i really hate jp light novel and their troupe (harem, boring generic op MC, forgettable world building,...). if you can find some good jp ln, please tell me. And 1 is the best and follow.... more>>

Will update when i come across novels worth recommending. <<less
