Stories with a close friendship/relationship between two male characters that is not romantic in nature.

Read the title, unless you can't read, but if you can't read then why are you here in the first place?... more>>

Books not ranked <<less

A list of novels that I've read or am keeping up with. The list is mostly compromised of novels that contain any sort of future knowledge, as I like smart mcs that use that knowledge to their advantage. I try to find novels with no romance and no harem as they usually either make the protagonists make dumb decisions or make fill the plot with blander plots (in my opinion). The list is mostly filled with Korean novels as I find that Japanese and Chinese novels make the mcs too strong too fast. Some Korean ones do that too but it usually has a more unique storyline, such as "The main character hides his strength"... more>> (yes the title does suck though).There's also a small splash of GL and BL.

Rankings constantly changing~ <<less

*please recommended more like this to me*

Korean Novels about men who have either reincarnated, got a second chance, or transmigrated, woke up in another body, into noble sons, side-characters, villains, or extras. They sometimes have animal companions, and definitely have loyal followers.  <<less

Novels I have read or am reading, which include skills, level/game system and/or reincarnation, basically isekai, or just some kind of similar fantasy setting. The list also includes my score for them and what I thought about them which might include slight spoilers (sorry), some novel 'reviews' are shorter either because I've forgotten about them or just didn't have a lot to say about them. Mostly Korean and a few Japanese novels, I haven't and don't plan on reading any Chinese novels, i honestly can't understand the cultivation and divinity thing most of their novels have so i tend to avoid them, and I avoid slice of life novels like the plague. The list isn't... more>> in any particular order, the ones near the end are the ones I've read most recently. I will update this list and add novels I like and find worth reading every time I discover one. Unfortunately, there is a limit of a hundred novels per list on this site so if you want more recommendations, you can go to part 1 of my journey through isekai-esque novels!

NO idea if any of these will be good....I'll just read them first~... more>>

if some of them disappear, it just means that they are either good enough to make it into one of my other lists. or they aren't my type! 

sorry for my grammar~ English is my second language. <<less

MC turns/transmigrates/reincarnated into a villain

This list contains novels where the MC is: REINCARNATED/TRANSMIGRATED/REGRESSED/TRANSPORTED IN ANOTHER WORLD (Dating Sim/Novel/Game world).

i loved these and hope u do too ~

Novels where the MC is reincarnated/ transmigrated/possessed/transported into a Dating Sim/Novel/Game world as a character or something similar to that.... more>>

I said that, but some of the MCs can actually be the original inhabitant of that world (not reincarnated/transmigrated/possessed).

Tell me if i put the wrong novels in this list, since i don't remember all of the details of these novels/ i haven't read some of them. You can also suggest other novels that might fit this list too.

Sorry for the bad English.
This is a non-harem and non-BL list, since i'm not really interested in those genres. <<less

List of transmigration stories (BL [Boy Love] / BG [Boy x Girl]) that I find interesting.... more>>

Interesting Transmigration Stories #1 is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/12031/

Interesting Transmigration Stories #3 is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/86227/ <<less

Novels that I particularly like! Most of them are male mc.

To keep track and reminisce. Putting here only those that left a good taste and lasting impression, except the ones not read yet(its so I can read em later). If we have the same taste, please reco me some (≧▽≦). Hard to find good chinese novels, but when you do its quite addicting to read. I'm a sucker for respectful, polite, and elegant mc's who are misunderstood to be amazingly good or amazingly evil or just pure op.( I do mass cleansing from time to time, cause some are not as good as i thought)... more>>

These are random but usually have emotionally and mentally strong mc's. It's also arranged randomly(rank doesn't matter).

Random:#Op mc#Strong mc mentally&emotionally#Transmigration#Sickly mc#Funny misunderstandings#I dunna like scenes#No dumb romance, just smart and simple ones#Wholesome#Fun fun fun <<less

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