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

MTL-only: Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind the Scenes <<less

The novels I will recommend here might have romance in them (be it bxg/bxb/gxg), but it won't actually be the main focus. From easy, idle reading to deep and serious. Don't worry, I'll give you heads up in case you don't like some themes in the story. Though it would be your loss coz they are actually good in my opinion.... more>>

But I'm an amateur at best so....

I will indicate if I finished it then some theme to the story that might be informative. But you'll actually see that on the tags. I'll also put in the description for easy decision.  <<less

No description.
