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.

Novels that I've read, and had the impulse to post a review on .  Selected gems only 

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
