Most of my favorite novels have actually come from other people's reading lists/recommendations. This is my attempt to give back to the community. Most of... more>> these novels do not require high IQ (quite the contrary actually), but I love these ones in particular. All novels are reviewed. I weight novels disproportionately based on the romance in the novels (but from a guy perspective), so take that into account before checking out my list. If you're a seasoned veteran on this site, you've probably read most of these novels. But still check it out ! You might find some hidden gems (I cover a lot of different "archetypes" of novels). <<less

FYI some might not be fully focused on romance, but I still add it because if you're like me, even if its plot is like the plot return of mount hua sect, if it has even a tiny hint of romance in the first 50 or so chaps, I'll dig that sh*t out.

For all the short stories or oneshots just read, they’re short anyway, or read some review on it first.

These novels aren’t on NU, but they are still good 

Author’s POV (still good but got a bit wack at some parts, but it’s 800 chaps so that’s normal.)

Shadow s*ave (got kind of boring after first arc for me.)
I started to gain sentience in an eroge (it’s quite good and it’s a “bit” crazy, just a bit)

FYI my review’s ratings for NU are always low standards, so if I gave it like a 4, it’ll probably mean that it’s cliche but pretty enjoyable. And a 3 is like, it’s aight but I didn’t enjoy it that much and got bored easily at some parts. And 2 is don’t even, also I change my ratings and opinions quite often once I look back on it because when I am reading it I read for pure enjoyment and not with a critical view. Like if there’s a plot hole, I just skimp over it, it’s only when I look back on it then I see the flaws. <<less

A take on fantasy novels that feel different. Instead of the cookie-cutter novels, this focuses on ones that drag you into the world.

My favorite novels in no particular order

A list of all the things I’ve read since I made a NU account. Most of them ended up being mid. If you want my recommendations, see my other list “The stuff you binge read all night”... more>>

What I tend to like: Strong Characterizations, Character relationships, good world building, excellent writing, great dialogue, realistic romancing (basically mature, not in hs anymore romance)

What I tend to dislike: Shounen (too formulaic and limiting on the stories they’ll tell), Harem (if not for realistic/fit into the story reasons), Romance where the reasons the characters like each other are unrealistic/wish fulfillment/s*upid (I’m looking at you, popular/hot/charismatic girl dates the wet mop of a child cause the plot needs to happen)

Current tropes I have beef with:

1. Girl was protected/saved/impressed once by wet noodle mc in early elementary school, so she’s obsessed with him in high school. Such a lazy plot device and it feels like every damn KOREAN/JP novel has some variation of this. These authors need to talk to real women instead of writing this elementary crap. <<less

Stories with MC's that intentionally or unintentionally cause misunderstandings

Isekai + Harem
