These are the novels I've given a try in 2021. I've also only been MTLing for like a couple of weeks so I've only completed some of them. I am of course going to include novels I've dropped and try to say the reason BUT, I have an awful memory so I don't even remember what I read last week, so some reviews might not be too accurate. Also my opinion is sh*t, don't trust me bc I get influenced by emotions, but if I rave about it it shouldn't be too bad, if I dropped it then... that's usually my fault.... more>>

I reached the list's limit so I'm not including certain unremarkable stories... I don't wanna do another list though, I guess I'll just have to stop reading this year. If push comes to shove I'll just replace the novels that I haven't read much of and didn't like.

Also yes..... this is what I read in > 4 months, I need a life and stop reading so much but this was a boring semester and reading was far more interesting than certain classes and just as useful (not useful). I hate myself omg guys don't do this! The way I don't even remember the names of these characters hftguyihio.

This is 96% CN, 3% JP, 1% KR.

Novels in the process of reading

A list of books whose descriptions or reviews interested me. I will read eventually. These are mostly historical/wuxia settings.... more>>

I’ve moved the pure fantasy/xianxia type settings to another To Be Read list. This was getting full.

If you have any suggestions on other novels to put on this list, please drop a comment. <<less

Bunch of various novels that got me hooked. No specific theme/trope. 

warning: this list is dead, I've dropped some novels here and I'm lazy to add other novels so.... yeah, this was a failure of a list.... more>>

It's hard to read and not regret it, I've read hundreds of LNs but I can say I remember about a couple of dozens lol (And some are bad memories that I regret reading). Here are some novels I don't regret reading and I'd like finishing them if I haven't yet, sadly my brain can't deal with MTL. My memory sucks and I've been reading LNs since like 2016 so I've forgotten about most, I can't even remember what I read last month, so I guess if something makes it to the list it's because it was memorable enough or because I read it recently. 

Also, it's mostly comedy, I love comedy, I just want a good laugh. <<less

All of the novels in this list are good in their own ways and random.... more>>

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

As long as it's good stuff, i'll add it here. There are many genres and if there isn't one full translated then it's ok to... more>> MTL it. <<less

The four arts (四藝, siyi), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic accomplishments required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They are qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.

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
