What I think are pretty good novels to read.

I compiled a list of novels that are different from the usual ones we read since I got bored with the same pattern all over... more>> again. <<less

Here is some novels that I didn't regret reading them... (Note: they are all my personal taste you might like or don't like them).

Novels with a great detail to their world building and history. Also great stories.

I refuse to read a lot of novels for many reasons such as it being to cliche, harem, etc.
Here are those few that are... more>> fun to read. <<less

100 novels about Cultivation with male female protagonists, whether they are Xianxia, ​​Wuxia or Xuanhuan.... more>>

All the novels have more than 1000 chapters or complete.

There is no better or worse, judge according to your criteria. <<less

The best novels out of 144 I've read based on my personal opinion, and in the order of how much satisfaction or enjoyment i had while reading them. This list mostly consists of relatively new novels so old classics like CD,DE,RI,ISSTH are not included.... more>>

Enjoy! <<less

Well first off these are my masterpiece novels and you can be rest assured each of novel here are quality novels that has something for everyone on each of them. But it will heavily depend on your taste whether you will like them or not. I will leave out description for what to expect so even though they are my masterpiece you might not enjoy. Pick carefully.... more>>

And Please ignore the ranking i love each and every novel here equally they cannot be ranked as  each one of them excels in their own genre. And another advise dont trust NU ratings blindly. Who knows you might enjoy the novel very much even though ratings are low. Low-ratings doesnt mean bad novel. I have found myself there and sometimes even though NU ratings were low i really enjoyed the story.

Another thing is there are very less JP/Kr novels here cause good CN novels are wholesome while KR novels are short and sweet but not wholesome. About jap novels though,i have lot of grievance with them, None of Jap novel MC feel humane except the 1% jp novel Mc. Yes i feel sociopathic, Hypocritical, Genocidal, Arrogant, Racist, hotblooded CN mc more humane then jap beta c*ck pu*sy Gary stu mc.  <<less

This is a list of the best translated cultivation style novels I've found. Stories from genres like Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuahuan/LitRPG are all qualified as long as they have some sort of constant power progression that characters deal with throughout the story.... more>>

Overall Considerations:

For a story to be included they must have a great prose, excellent translation, superior worldbuilding, and three dimensional side characters.

Personal Considerations:

I personally abhor evil/edgy/"anti-hero" mcs and so those will not be featured on this list. It's very easy to be selfish, immoral and evil. It's much more difficult to be kind, just and principled when the going gets tough so I find stories with main characters who have a code and stand by it the most interesting. MCs don't need to be paragon's of justice, but when confronted with difficult choices they must display some semblance of empathy and kindness in their actions.

I also love discussions of philosophy and morality and find their inclusion in the context of wuxia and xanxia worlds to be extremely interesting.

I like romance. I dislike harems, but if I have to make a choice I prefer harems to no romance.

I have a personal preference to reading male main characters.

Organization:

I've tried my best to order the list in by considering both general quality of the novel itself and the personal preference concepts I've listed above. I hope this list can help. <<less

Novels that actually are decent to good. Not the usual harem where the MC forget about them, or the face-slapping, restaurant fighting, no brain characters,... more>> and the like. These ones actually have a good plot, magic system (or cultivation), character development, interesting arts/techniques, and side characters. <<less

A list of novels I like so I don't forget. Not in order. I try to not make this similar to FIEND's and other people's list but there aren't that many decent ones with no romance y'know. ... more>>

Some novels : Since The Red Moon Appeared, The Damned, Supreme Grandpa, Is That A Wisp?, Spending My Retirement In A Game.

P.S. I still haven't differentiated quick transmigration and world hopping so I could be mistaken about some. Thank you for understanding. <<less

Chinese novels with MLs that are well-received in the Chinese community, meets at least one:... more>>

1. Rank highly on novels websites like Qidian and Zongheng (mostly QI)

2. Are strongly recommended on novel recommendation websites (eg at least 1k recommendation upvotes or at least 7.8/10 or 4/5 ratings with 1k reviews)

3. Commonly recommended on forums, search engines and blog posts (eg zhihu, sohu)

Notes:

There are novels that meet the criteria but not included like Lord of the Mysteries and Perfect World. May add them in later.

I picked the novels according to what caught my eyes (mostly comedy) or have more well known donghua adaptations (eg soul land, btth) so there may be many novels not mentioned

*Well received may not always mean good or well written, they may just be wish-fulfilment, OP-MC novels that generally cater to many, therefore, highly ranked. (eg popular 'junk food' novels).

This list is used as a compilation for me to ‘try out’. I will update my reviews if I’ve read something here. While I may not have read the novels, I may have read/ watched the dongman adaptations. <<less

Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists... more>>

More info on what i am searching: (The title may not be entirely accurate.)

Evil mc ( someone who do not care about other people, and can do anything for his goals )

Ruthless mc ( someone who do not hesitate to kill )

Neutral mc ( Neither a good person, nor a bad person, But care more about his own profits, Rational-Pragmatic type of route )

No Romance ( For this one, i also mean, less romance or none maybe, as well. No romance and no female lead are different. )

No Heroine ( i will use this word for those novels where there is no female lead. ) This is a word you find usually in mtl.

Sharing a Discord Invite Code, For Evil mc novels, But only MTL. Discord invite: ywyGwvK5ns. 

P.S: My reviews might be rough sometimes, but they're my honest thoughts. I wouldn't share a novel in here if I didn't think there was something worthwhile. Use them as a guide and decide for yourself. Treat each novel like a Poison Test. Enjoy your reading! <<less

The best books I have ever stumbled across [in no particular order].
You can comment books you believe are the best you have seen yet (although this is only relative) for others to also read.
The books you should comment should fulfill at least one of these criteria:
— The best of their genre.
— A diamond in the rough.
— So unique that they are a breath of fresh air.
— They are one of the most fascinating read on the internet.... more>>

Unfortunately, this list only includes CN, JP, KR that have been translated. Because of this, it won't include other extremely good webnovels that are written outside the three category (CN,JP,KR).

Some books like that are: Chrysalis, Tyranny of Steel and so on. They are worthy of being on this list but they don't fall under the three categories.

Those added to this list or commented must be truly worthy of being called, Peak Fiction.

(I will continue to add more peak Fiction as I find them over the years.) <<less
