1 to 24: Novels I read completely (if not ongoing), sorted in order of personal preference.... more>>

25 to ?: Novels I plan on reading in the future, not sorted.

Male centric (male protagonist) novels in both modern and ancient settings, no BL unless it's a little bromance (meaning, author may have added a dash of bromance for fan service, but no actual shounen ai or yaoi included in this list). Shounen, seinen, xuanhuan, no-CP (no romance) or novels featuring a little straight romance but mostly focused on action/adventure (ie, romantic subplot). One novel is harem with a sis con, but I enjoyed the MC and plot enough that it didn't bother me too much. Another novel is harem but only depicted in the extras, which I skipped!

Majority of these had fan translations completed at some point, so you can find them on various novel aggregator websites if the chapter links are gone from NU. <<less

Webnovels: f*ck WEBNOVEL, sh*t ASS SITE, PIRACY W

Shadow s*ave: "I can't believe I am still finding good novels to read. This is one of the best novels I've ever read and is incredibly well written. Deep plot, good apocalypse setting, characters are incredibly lifelike, real emotion. Solo leveling but done so much better in a sense. Enough said." #1.5

Paragon of Sin: "Very very very very good. MC is cool, not very generic, a different feeling all together while still being a cultivation ln. Enough said." #0.5

Birth of the Demonic Sword: "Falls off at the end but rly cool, dark, and powerful mc. Enough said." #10.5

Divine Emperor of Death: "Man has cheats but somehow it doesn't take away from the overall story. Harem as well. Enough said."   #18.5

Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner in the Apocalypse: "Very similar to God and Devil in the beginning but then changes for the worst, it feels like a self-insert type thing. Also the mc is brainless and s*upidly op. Enough Said." #26.5

Chao's Heir: "From the same author of BotDS and it greatly dissapoints. There's so much things wrong with this one that it would take me a day to get into the details. Do not read. Only s*upid ass webnovel ppl would read this, the reviews were probably botted too. I can't believe its the same author, dude must've been going threw something idk. Enough said." #40.5 <<less

Sharing several years of my reading experience.... more>>

I was slowly creating this list for about a year. When I've got nothing else to do I was gradually expanding it and that's the result.

***

To make it more descriptive and clarify some things I've put what I consider the main focus of the story under the 'Main Tags' line.

I've also added some comments to express what I thought about most novels that I've read.
As a bonus I've thrown out here some things that people look for or try to avoid like romance and mentioned similar titles that I've read myself.

***

Tags' explanation:

Mature:
FL - foul language, G - gore, E - ero elements.

Romance:

'No Romance' - nothing worth mentioning/mc is a loner, No Romance(?) - I haven't seen any, 'Romance' - only 1 heroine, Yanderes - self-explanatory, Harem - if MC is in CONFIRMED relationships with
several love interests, not a japanese useless one.

***

'My reading progress' line is a show of my 'sincerity'. At least I know what I'm talking about cause I've read it till cXXX.

***

Rating:

10/10 - Perfection (for me).

9/10 - Not 10/10 but pretty close.

8/10 - Something good/worth reading

7/10 - Readable

6/10 - Read with caution / Only 'Readable' under specific circumstances

***

P.s I've read a lot of novels (more than 200), so I've chosen more popular titles, or at least novels that I've liked more than others. So very few novels here can be considered questionable or 'hidden gems'. <<less

Book that I'm planning to read 

My library 

Not all novels are masterpieces. And not all novels need to be one. There are many marvelous novels to read even if they don't reach the peak. This list will be a list of all those novels that made me feel full and satiated.... more>>

Many of these novels have obvious negatives. Some of them aren't even finished in their original language. But they are worth reading anyhow. 

**Some of the novels on this list are on my masterpiece list as well.   <<less

Novels that have interesting plots.

To be honest, I'm a pretty weak-hearted reader and can't stand extended prolonged tension but still loves a good action-packed, on-the-edge-of-your-seat moment so here we are.... more>>

These are the novels that I completed without having to take any breaks. The ones I couldn't bear to put down even in the slow or suspenseful moments.

Ordered from most to least favorite. <<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.

Since i have used all these tags, then the novel i will recommend can be any one them or maybe mix of a few or all. I will leave some info in most of em, so you can know which one it is. If i just go to search books that are no romance or such tags, i can get too many books, but in this list i will recommend only what i know or what i have read or think is unique.

Book lists order might be messed up as i continue adding book, and even then order will be based on my personal liking, so treat it as non-existent and read the one you like more.
