Sturgeon's law: 99% of everything is terrible.... more>>

I know many people say that there are no good novels on this site, and it oftens feels like the top lists are filled with overpowered MC's, undeveloped harems, 2D characters, and lacking plots.

There are some novels that stand out, however, whether that be for their plots, characters, or translations.

This is a list for my personal 1%. It is ranked in order. <<less

If you want good novels, then you've come to the right place.... more>>

Though if you are searching for harem novels and cliche titles, then i am afraid that you've come to the wrong place and should probably find another list. I dislike harems, repetitive novels and just bad novels in general. I made this list to invalidate the claims that NU doesn't contain any good novels anymore. I know the vast majority of translated works caters to the harem/anti-hero loving part of the community, but i quite frankly dislike the vast majority of titles in those genres due to how bad they are. As a result, i have created this list to include novels that IMO stand out due the excellent execution in story beats, excellent translations/localization (English primarily) and just have good characters. That's all. <<less

Many kinds of Novels ranging from Sci-Fi to (Dark) Fantasy, Comedy, Romance but mainly Action and Adventure, trying to avoid excessive Harem, Ecchi, Smut, no Yaoi/BL either.... more>>

Roughly sorted from best to weaker Novels (in my opinion). I also try to add descriptions to every Novel I can, if I can think of something to say that isn't already in the synopsis, they might contain minor spoilers though.

I'd like to add two more Novels here that I am reading but aren't listed here because they are Original Works from "Webnovel . com": "World Domination System" and "The Mech Touch". Both are pretty decent and are worth a look. <<less

More often than not, stories I included had some grim parts to them. Where I find it necessary, I'll put a warning. 

Some stories are simply positive. Not everything needs to be dark. <<less
