No romance, no harem. Just MC with their brotherhood/sisterhood or found-family ^^~.... more>>

Novels with adaptations are noted.

Recommendations are appreciated! <<less

the title's self-explanatory, right?
not in any particular order because the lot of these are painfully mediocre

I ain't reading half of this list yet, just want to clear my tabs.... more>>

Male MC. fantasy/adventure/action/isekai/game/novel elements, can be reincarnation/transmigration/2nd chance/dystopian,  some modern setting and less/no action, some might originally from that world, some might be more psychological, some might be harem as well. 

in no particular order

Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/57754/?ft=yes <<less

Mostly no romance, some I dropped because I started reading others, but still recommend. The order doesn't matter.

I've been reading LN since 2017, I initially started with JP and then moved on to KR and CN, especially those with character names that don't appear as random jargon to my eyes (as most of the CN ones), but with a few exceptions (some KN ones).... more>>

I mostly prefer fantasy with a bit of romance on the side, but also don't mind other genres when done well. These are the ones I liked that I hope will keep you entertained.

I will keep adding more as I remember/read others.

Honourable mentions (not on NU):

 The beginning after the End, Mother of Learning, Supreme Magus, Underland <<less

This rec list contains all the novels I have read and considered of high quality in one way or another. Pattern could be seen among the novels I've picked that is that these novels contains non-obnoxious MC, satisfying (to a certain extent) plot, good translation, focus mainly on MC and such. Though I highly rated these novels, there is no guarantee that this list will satisfy all the readers, that is because a good story is a story that provides what the readers wanted or needed. No YAOI/BL elements in the slightest. ... more>>

NB = There are novel series which I've only read their Manga/Manhwa adaptation, and not their novel version. They are noted with MANGA/MANHWA VERSE. Still, I can assure you that these series I've picked still excels in their manga/manhwa version. 

Other recommendations not on NU = Beware of Chicken (10/10), Forgotten Conqueror (?/10) Number One Under Heaven (8.9/10), TBATE (10/10), Skyrim: Dragonborn Within (15/10 absolutely fantastic, a must read for sure), Goddess of Ice; Reborn as Naruto’s twin sister (9.2/10), The Simulacrum (9.5/10), Life in Vain: Jobless Reincarnation (9.6/10), The Second Coming of Gluttony, the First of Vainglory (9.3/10), Redemption's Rose (9.5/10)

Websites for reading novels = Novelupdates, Royalroad, Webnovel, Scribblehub <<less

Decision is based on:
