The Best and most Entertaining CN Novels.... more>>

The kind of novels I HATE  :

1. No Romance

2. Slow paced plot

3. Lots of unwanted useless info which ruins reading experience.

4. Bland plot (Novels which fail to stir any emotion. Which feels like reading textbooks instead of Novels. Lol)

5. Lack of character interactions and a lot of forgotten characters.

6. I mostly hate Game settings (except one novel)

So these wont be there in my list

Above 40 will be extras which don't fit in the list <<less

No description.

Soooo many chapters how and why?

you have been looking for this.... more>>

here's a list of op mc Korean novels you have been looking for

(the first few descriptions of the novels are not mine, they are just comments I copied of NU, also please note that while most novels here are Korean not all of them are)

here are some other lists I made: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46420/ and https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/47255/  check them out if you're interested <<less

In this list, there will be a variety of novels that I have read throughout my journey. There are also some novels that I'm planning to read as well. Nevertheless for the ones I have read, I will try add some descriptions. ( may not have enough time, but I'll try my best). I've read about 90% of what is included in this list, so it'll take quite long to review all of them ( I would rather spend time reading novels). ... more>>

Unfortunately, there's a limit to the number of novels I can add to this list. That's why I may trim down the list so I can add other novels.  <<less

As much as I love normal xuanhuan, there comes a point where you get tired of seeing MCs get ridiculed, abused and chased around by arrogant young masters for 500 chapters at a time.... more>>

Do you want an MC who breaks through realms "like chopping vegetables", slaughters any arrogant idiot suicidal enough to choose them as a target, and stumbles across secret treasure stashes while they're sleep-walking? You've come to the right place!

NOTE: Bear in mind that this is specifically for stories with MCs who get stronger REALLY fast, so I'm not going to include a few series where the cultivation is quick but you have to wait 1,000 chapters between breakthroughs. The only exception is Emperor's Domination, due to how satisfying it is to see the MC faceroll all of his enemies. <<less

I’ve read too many novels... more>>

Not sorted yet, currently adding reviews <<less

We all like novels where the protagonist crushes everything with a dominant body full of immense strength, right?... more>>

This list does not have a better or worse novel, judge according to your criteria.

The novels on the list have more than 1000 chapters or are already complete.

I recommend reading the novels on the WuxiaWorld page. <<less

Everyone has their own preferences and picks.
These are novels that I read. Though some of them I have already dropped.... more>>

In order of how great they are in my view. 

Status: 

Read - I have read it to completion

Up to latest chapters - always up to date with the latest chapters

Waiting for chapters - update frequency is slow, tend to stack up chapters to read

Unplanned Dropped - Dropped the novel with no future plan for it. May or may not continue reading

Temporarily Dropped - Dropped due to inconveniences, fully planned on reading again

[Order is relative to this list and not the subsequent lists]

Second List: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/6452/ <<less

I will only include the one's that made me stick through thick and thin. Mostly no romance, if it's harem then you should expect that the MC is just using them for greater benefits. I don't like DUmb characters so you should also expect that most of the Male leads here or Female leads are smart or sharp. half of my list also include survival and teaches you some bitter reality lesson unlike those cliche novels that makes you scared or dream about nonsense fantasy stuffs.... more>>

I JUST RANDOMLY PLACE THE NOVELS AND I WON'T RANK IT. ( for me, they're all the best on their own way and techniques) 

[disclaimer: as I said, ‘mostly’ no romance- what I meant is in the survival stories, and if the protagonist is a man. But if the protagonist is a girl, they’ll be really romance. Book like that (top tier books with Female Mc w/ no romance) are very rare. I myself having some troubles finding them.] <<less

MCs that are already OP from the start, or that become OP in very, very few chapters. They may or may not know about their own capabilities, but are feared and/or respected by those around them. Also, this is a simp-free zone, no NTR, no cucks. Waifus, though, are allowed. ... more>>

Lots of cultivation novels, some have comedic undertones that usually go well with "misunderstanding protagonist clueless about their own power". MC is famous, MC is considered to be the demon king, MC is a sect master, MC has loyal subordinates, overpowered and feared MC, etc, are the kinds of settings here.

They are in no particular order. List updates as I read them. <<less

Check title for date of latest addition Year/Month/Day... more>>

There are some female MCs on here as well. Mind the notes to avoid them.

You can also check the comment section where I will post Chinese novels that do not have a translation yet, and thus cannot be added to this list yet. 

Latest: Genius Warlock #8

I Became the 1st Floor Boss of the Tower #28

Past Life Returner #24

I will not rate, I read novel randomly. I’ll just put how far the chapter I read.  <<less

This list was compiled from a veteran who has read over 50 million words on this website. The goal of the list is to help readers navigate through good and bad books. Generally, anything with the tag R-15 is a terrible novel. ... more>>

Here is some good novel recommendations which is complied on factors such as: how much (percentage) of a novel you will enjoy, how smart is mc at executing plans, how repetitive the book is and how repetitive the book is compared to other novels.  <<less

On most occasions, I tend to read 1/3~ of a novel to get a feel of things. These are [completed] some personal favorites and also some to pass time. A small summary of the novel which may contain spoilers!... more>>

I started out with Wuxia and explored other genre like Xianxia and Xianhuan. Not a ranking list btw ^^;;

Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng... etc, all great. <<less

I've been going on a journey from A to Z due to lack of novels for me to read, as it felt like I read everything. Like I read way too much on this site... I just hit 650 reviews... though most of them were just a few words / sentences... I decided to finally make a reading list of what I think the best novels on this site are for male readers. Some stories were worse off in quality, but they were interesting enough to keep me reading.... more>>

I USUALLY ignore 4 types of novels

1. Romance focused

2. Historical focused

3. Female Leads

4. Dropped novels

Now, before u get mad, I only included ones that I CONTINUED liking. Because many times, the story quality ends up dropping the farther along the story is. I read a lot, so I'm very picky. Like when I first came to this site, I literally loved isekai, vrmmo, cultivation novels so much because everything was new... but now... there are comparisons... Another possible reason your novel isn't here, is that the novel is just new, and I have not read it yet as it was released after I went past that point alphabetically.

Please note the list will change in the future. I only read up the translation at the time of reading, so some of these books may be removed due to later chapters ruining the story.

Although I have read and liked a few FL Romance focused novels, I will not be including them to this list to be non biased, as I have not read enough of those to be picky about them. <<less

No description.

I grew up with the development of Chinese Web Novels. In the beginning of 21st century, I started reading online novels, when Qidian set about... more>> expanding its business. Eastern fantasy was my favorite type. In every summer and winter vacation, I would read dozens of them. It was a great surprise for me when I heard NovelUpdates, which gave me the chance to create this list and share with you many memorable fantasy novels serving as milestones. <<less

Most novels that claim to have op protagonists and/or protagonists that are strong from the start isn't quite so. I believe my list adheres to a more stricter categorization of the aforementioned tags.... more>>

In other words, the protagonists in this list of novels are truly OP AF.

A small caveat: some novels' protagonists on this list may not necessarily be strong RIGHT from the start, but they will certainly ramp up to an OP level, hence they were added onto this list. An example of this would be "The Tutorial is Too Hard". <<less

Top Tier Novels which I have personally read. All of them are worth reading for many reasons. No specific genre, only top quality novels.... more>>

Note: Most focus is given on "fun" element, so even if Translation is bad or novel has some other defects it will still be a quality read. <<less

Esses são meus romances chineses favoritos e resolvi criar essa lista para quem procura romances chineses
