My top novels. Low-key mainstream with generic rinse and repeat plot points but w/e. Still love the genre and writing style. 
Start date: April 2019

Loved all of them tbh

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

>>> Feel free to recommend me novels in the comment section below, so after I'm back I know what to binge read and give my thoughts on it.... more>>

One of the easiest to tell a novel is a 'Game Elements' is if it has a GAME SYSTEM included - most notable of it being part of the MC. Another one is that the Protagonist got transported INTO a Game World/Fantasy World - most notable are ISEKAI's.

HUGE DISCLAIMER: I only include novels that have Game Elements as mentioned BUT ALSO that I have already read from a quite decent amount of chapters to finished reading. Though do not fret for I would accept and feel feel to recommend novels to me and If possible tell me about it.

NOTES: I have tried my best to rank them based on the depth of the world/lore of the novel and it's writing. Every tier (namely Great -> Amazing -> Excellent) have a sub-tier with 1 (+) being the lowest and (+++) being the highest. I would like to say that it is inevitable that there would be a novel being in the same tier and sub-tier - that you would think isn't even on par in terms of quality. Hence why If you could tell why that specific novel about why it deserves to either to go up or down at the ranking - then I would thank you for your time telling me your point. Novels with no tiers can be only one thing - They could have been good.

PS: I seem to have underestimated the sheer amount of Novels with Game Elements... also I'm not expert in identifying Alignments <<less

Game, Unlimited flow, MMORPG & VRMMORPG, and Esports related novels, be it solo, BG, or Yaoi. Some are completed and some are ongoing.

Stuff i've read ages ago that i want to be able to easly look back on, appreciate and reflect on the passing of the time, whenever i go back here.... more>>

This list is based on my sentimentality, memories of time well-spent, of things close to my heart. Not on the novels' quality (you should still check them all out). I will try to sort them somewhat reasonably, at least.

If you think this list is missing some novels, you should cry about it in your closet. If they aren't here, I haven't read them (or liked them enough). Prolly because they got buried in my 'to read' list. (Yuusha, Aruiwa Bakemono to Yobareta Shoujo; tr*sh of the Count's Family; M E M O R I Z E, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint; Sevens; Monster Paradise; Pivot of the Sky; Release that Witch; Reverend Insanity; The Dark King; etc.)
Don't read anything below 50th place on this list, it's not worth it.

Also, this won't ever be updated, I think. <<less

Novelas com masmorras, sistemas de jogos, protagonistas masculinos.

1 to 24: Novels I read completely (if not ongoing), sorted in order of personal preference.... more>>

25 to ?: Novels I plan on reading in the future, not sorted.

Male centric (male protagonist) novels in both modern and ancient settings, no BL unless it's a little bromance (meaning, author may have added a dash of bromance for fan service, but no actual shounen ai or yaoi included in this list). Shounen, seinen, xuanhuan, no-CP (no romance) or novels featuring a little straight romance but mostly focused on action/adventure (ie, romantic subplot). One novel is harem with a sis con, but I enjoyed the MC and plot enough that it didn't bother me too much. Another novel is harem but only depicted in the extras, which I skipped!

Majority of these had fan translations completed at some point, so you can find them on various novel aggregator websites if the chapter links are gone from NU. <<less

You want a main character that summons a lot? Well this list is for you!... more>>

Note: NO BL, NO SHOUJO. There is generally romance, could be 1 to 1, could also be harem. No particular order. <<less

The ones that I think do not focus on romance but in self-improvement or just ruling the world.

Just a list I've randomly found weather I'll read them or not is up to my whim also gonna put novels I've finished reading but... more>> wasn't that mind blowing for me or my taste  <<less

So first of all there are going to be only JAPANESE and KOREAN novels.
Absolutely loves these and never got bored.... more>>

Hope you like em as well.

I'll keep adding novels as I read them, if I like em. <<less

Some novels for those new readers to tried out... more>>

Some novels are now licensed and are thus unavailable, therefore my recommendation would be either to buy from the source or read from another source, Aka google it. <<less

A compilation of some of the completely translated novels with Male Protagonists. Not ranked...yet. I'll see :thonk:
Mostly CN - KR - JP... more>>

If you're looking for completed novels with male protagonists, then this one's for you. <<less

Most Japanese novels have either a Beta MC or an ending that rips open your heart with tragedy. Koreans have a problem with their moral compass and Chinese think that the only way to live is through DOMINANCE... There are very few novels where the MC is not a typical douche-bag...... more>>

In the middle of all these distortions, there are a few novels that stand out and can be named as great enough to keep in memory...

In my list, I recommend my favourites... Any discontent with the list can be discussed after you show me a better list... <<less

Although i m not the person who has read all the novels i most certainly consider my self as one the crazy novel readers.... more>>

One of my favorite types are where you get to see the reactions of other people based of the mc's action and i thats the really fun part and probably the sole reason why "underestimated tag" is famous.

My list belongs to the type of novel I read and Let me tell you what you won't/will Find here

1. Bull sh*t about Friendship Spirit and love which makes me puke out of cringe.

2. Novels which people disregard based on things like "this doesn't make sense how can there be magic and modern day" 

3. Novels which people disregard saying" the explanations are too much" which you can skip with enough intelligence and some other dumb shit. 

4. Novels where the MC gets lucky at every single step one after another like a who*e who succu....*chough* *cough*..... You get it.

5. Novels which are worth read and you will be spending time on them and the novel with too few chapters wont be there or if they are then you can be sure that the mtl is readable and its available on lnmtl

5 Make sure to know the novels won't have all the tags but most probably atleast one.

6. Looking for Male protagonist novels doesn't mean im a sexist

Enjoy

<And oh yeah if you have read all the novels on the list then congratulations mine and yours tastes match woooo!.. so now you can suck my d**k.(you know i m kidding right ;p. ) <<less

Some of the novels here are randomized since most of these are the ones that I already finished reading.

These are web novels that I have read and where the MC is overpowered. Most of the novels are Korean. While not every story has... more>> a good plot, most of them do. The highest rating I would give is 9.5/10. And I will not post any novel which I rated less than 6/10. <<less

Hunter and dungeon stuff primarily but might have other things I’m waiting for updates for.

Korean novels I found enjoyable to read. ... more>>

*guys don't solely rely on NU links. I found out that they don't really update some chapter links. And some of the novels have completed chapters already. Just dig deep on the web and you might find some translations for some novels here. <<less
