Male MC. fantasy/adventure/action/isekai/game/novel elements, can be reincarnation/transmigration/2nd chance/dystopian,  some modern setting and less/no action, some might originally from that world, some might be more psychological, some might be harem as well. 

in no particular order

Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/57754/?ft=yes <<less

Series where the protagonist uses magic as their main weapon.

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!

If they get completed, they'll be taken out. The date is when I last updated.

Ongoing novels, most of them are updated regularly, though it may not reflect on novelupdates status. You can find them on other sites (eg.webnovel). Please... more>> read on the translators' site to support them. <<less

Novels that have no lasting romance or love interests. There will be no smut, harem (if MC attracts some people, I don't mind until it becomes a major part of the story or MC becomes interested in them), or ecchi, and BL/GL also count as romance. The list includes a personal rating and (often rambling) review/description.... more>>

Of course, it's also about my tastes, so this list will be mostly fantasy and action novels (op mc will be a common feature). I am a wordy person so I also don’t mind wordier books, too... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The list is in no particular order, but novels with <100 chapters and on hiatus/slow updating (less/around as often as 1 chap/month) will go in the back, starting at #33. This is because I assume people are looking for binge reads like me.

DISCLAIMER: The list is subject to change and revision - my impression changes as I think about them/read more. I cannot guarantee a novel has no romance later. I'll try to update this rec list as I read. No promises though, so my descriptions may be outdated.

I really enjoy the way Korean Action/Adventure novels are written, so this will be the focus of the list (there are some non-action novels here though). I used to read a lot of transmigration novels when I started out, so that's why there's a lot of them. Just a disclaimer, not many novels on this list have romance in them. Anyway, here are some Korean novels I found worth reading.... more>>

Edit: The list is somewhat ordered, but I wouldn't really pay much attention to it. It's hard not to be biased towards more recent reads. <<less
