There are so many amazing works that feature regressed MCs that are going through a second chance in management, corporate ladders, sports, cooking, etc. Definitely stronger list than the second chance in fantasy. Wanted to make a list that specifically targets this genre.... more>>

First, some of the best that aren't on NU:
1. Trailer tr*sh - wonderful depiction of a second chance high school life with strongly developed characters
2. Metaworld chronicles - only barely qualifies because it's really a fantasy world, but it's an alternate modern day Earth, with great detail and development of cultures and places and set in a modern society, if magic based
3. Let me make you a star - [have not yet read] but has good ratings, comment if you've had a chance to read it!

In addition, there are a number of great drama/TV shows (JP, CN and KR) of second chances that I highly recommend if you like this genre. I've added them in a comment below the list.

If you enjoy second chances, you can also try my other lists on:
- Second chances in fantasy (https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10749/)
- Time loops (includes movies and webnovels not on NU - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/) <<less

S tier - absolute masterpiece ... more>>

A tier - excellent

B tier - really good

All of the novels have enough chapters, have something special and are my favourites, therefore there are no bad novels here.

Of course this is purely my opinion. <<less

A hundred and three novels starred by male protagonists that you might like with NO HAREM.... more>>

《 Good 'Male-Protagonist-no-harem' novels but unlisted in NU 》

↠The Beginning After The End

↠The Author's POV

↠ Mother of Learning

 

·····

THIS IS NOT ARRANGED BY RANK

·····

p.s.

I haven't read all of these books and only a few of them. I wanted male pov books that didn't have a dozen of females flocking hence after tons of reading genres and tags and a h*ck amount of reviews making sure there ain't no imposter in here I've finally formed a hundred (and two) "MALE PROTAGONIST WITH NO HAREM" READING LIST!!!! TADA ~ ~~

You're welcome ;D

Oh, and If you guys wanna recommend books and found out there's an imposter among us (diz books) please tell me- tell us! and even more so if you wanna recommend a good book ANY GENRE you know about please please please..? *with sparkling eyes*

PS: Mount Tai

if you guys have anything to say, feel free to say it in the comments. This list is more inclined toward romance but it does have some books that are Action only or MC only and have no romance.

There is no order, almost all if not all books are pretty good to most people

this list does include BL but it's only like once or twice! <<less

I really like ✓unique (world building/game rule/setting), ✓logical development, ✓solid plot, ✓all character in the novel have a life of their own that not serve for the purpose of the plot and finally a ✓logical MC. If there are at least two of these qualities, LINNIL APPROVE!!... more>>

I like to read various genre I don't care if it's ✮shoujou, ✮shounen, ✮yaoi or ✮harem, if only there is my require qualities~

This list order by my like, it not depend on the novel quality though. >wOb <<less

I have read more than 500 novels until now. Here’s my List of best 50 novels. No specific genre. Some of them are Original which i read ... more>>

TBATE - my first Reincarnation novel really good but very slow release 1 chapter per week. - S .

Shadow s*ave - Really unique system and story. - S

Mother of Learning - Classic Novel .Time Loop and Magic - S+. One of the Best

The Sinful Life of the Emperor - Great Smut novel with really good story and action , really liked this - S

Along with this i will list about 50 novels from 500 which i liked the best. <<less

Les romans que je considère comme les meilleurs parmi tous ceux que je lis, il y en aura de tous les genres (presque) je n’ai... more>> pas mis d’ordre en particulier et j’ajouterai le reste quand j’aurai le temps <<less

There will be a mix of Bromance, Yaoi, or Romance and I usually don't read harem but sometimes there are exceptions.... more>>

Also, most of the genres in this list are reincarnation, Transmigration, Action, Adventures which I enjoy reading. Rather than reading weak dumb MC, I prefer cunning and calm although I don't mind being lazy lol XD.

I tried to read something new which is not my cup of tea and sometimes I came to like them so there will be mixing various genres in here.

I find these novels worth reading since they are well-built characters, have an interesting storyline, plot twists. At least, that is based on my opinion and taste. 

All of them are Not Ranked just in random order. I might update if I find something that suits my taste, I guess.

Some of the Links are dead so just copy the website link that I commented on and search on google/chrome or somewhere that you like. Anyways, Happy Reading guys!! <<less

Korean novels are usually quality over quantity. I prefer them over Chinese (Betraying my homeland sorry not sorry) so here's the list

Every time I visit the front page of NU and I see a long title for a JP WN, I know its story and characters are going to be shallow and a waste of my time . I've been sick of the infinite number of the "fantasy RPG" Japanese WNs out there and Chinese WNs that drag on for thousands of chapters. Korean novels tend to be better in that respect by having a unique story and being easy to read without seeing half the chapter used up to describe insignificant details. ... more>>

Yeah there's still some isekai novels here but at least it's going to have good progression and character growth. <<less

Brotherhood, sisterhood, familyhood, funnyhood, peoplehood, hood.... more>>

Basically fun stories where MC has a friend or a group of friends who go along the story with him/her. My definition of fun is power fantasy and comedy, but I tried to include exciting books from all genre's and audiences. <<less

You will find quite a diverse list of suggestions here. ... more>>

Recommendations are welcome

List is not in any particular order mainly because it is a bit hard to rank my favourites <<less

IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THIS READING LIST! C= C= C= C= C=┌(;・ω・)┘... more>>

this list has the novels for those who want:

- romance novels (comedic undertone, light reading, lots and lots of FLUFF) 

- no romance novels (where romance doesn't bu*t into an amazing plot and makes you want to dry heave)

- misunderstanding novels (specifically ones that evoke laughter or amus**ent)

warning: all of these novels have (or will have) my opinion and terrible descriptions !! 

i hope you have fun reading 

(*￣▽￣)b <<less

I'd rather read these novels when they update than sleep... more>>

#49 - #57 are short stories/one-shot novels <<less

MY ABSOLUTE ABSOLUTEEEEE FAVORITE!

These novels are hands down the absolute best when it comes to quality in world-building, plot twists, character development, or melodrama.

*3-5 STAR RATINGS ONLY, MOSTLY 4 THO* *ALL GENRES*... more>>

- This list includes novels with these 2 tags, whether the MC is the one in the spotlight or whether they are in the background as long as one of these tags is present I will add them. Recommendations are welcome!
-------------------------------------------------

 KR novels: 1 - 16

CN novels: 17 - 58

-------------------------------------------------

[DESCRIPTION] –The description of the novel.

[ROMANCE] - Indicates if there is romance in the story or not. For me personally, I always base the novels that I read if it has good romance, since in some instances the romance completely ruins the story for me and sadly makes me drop the novel. In addition this helps categorizing what kind of romance genre it is, i.e yaoi, yuri, straight, shounen ai.

 [STATUS IN Country Of Origin] – Indicates the status of the novel whether it is completed or still ongoing, as well as a to compare it to the tl status.

[TL STATUS] - Indicates how far the translation team/person are. I added this in for I was sick and tired of sorting the story status to completed, finding a story that piqued my interest, then finding out it the tl chapters available aren't finished yet, really puts a frown on my face :( #stopthetranslationrickroll

To note I may be a bit late in updating the tl statuses as this list has many novels and I simply can't keep track of all of them. 

Recent update to the tl status was on: 07/9/23 <<less

if you're looking at this list then you're probably tired of seeing the same novels over and over again.... more>>
