Disclaimer: Some of these novels are extremely cliche, loved, and hated on. Aka, you DON'T have to like all of them, or even any of them really. These are just some of the more well-know novels that, I believe, are all worth checking out (lol mainly because of the amount of reads and reviews they have ;P). And walp, that's kinda the whole point of this list >.>... more>>

This list introduces the various popular/common/cliche tropes and genres of the translated novels community. I just want to point out the fact that this list is supposed to cover a wide range of genres and audiences. It doesn't cover everything, but I think most of them are here. I enjoyed these, and I think it's a good place to start reading from. (I tried to have novels for both male/female preferences). While some of these novels may be long, that does not mean you have to finish the entire thing -_- , if you enjoy it, good, keep on reading! If you don't enjoy it, then stop, no one's forcing you to continue.

The list is in no particular order, although I did try to put them into categories ... that kinda worked, ish. Some of these novels are officially licensed, so you may have to get the rest of the chapters from other sources (Google and *cough* aggregate websites *cough*).

Pls don't hate Orz. When I was first introduced to translated novels, everything seemed pretty good to me T^T.  <<less

Small amount of kawaism/slifeoflism is tolerated, begrudgingly.... more>>

List will be expanded slowly as I  find out where this LN rabbit hole goes. <<less

My favorite ML/MC <3

Ranking and giving ratins from 0-10

Good stories of all kinds that I'm reading or have read. I'm sure you'll find something you like and are interested in.

Well after reading novel in novelupdates.com for about 3 years. Here what i think the best novels that could be found here are:

List of favourites based mainly on:... more>>

isekai in any form (reincarnation etc.),  game elements, overpowered protagonist, country building and management, army building, modern knowledge in fantasy world and technological gap, crafting .

MC is pretty much always in control, always has a plan and always ends up on top. Or just has plot armor.

I don't exclude harems (even bad ones), if novel is good by itself. 

No yaoi. No pure wuxia or xianxia.

I don't include novels that are too short (less than 20-100 chapters depending on chapter length).

Some of novels may not be available on NU or be incomplete, but they are somewhere in web.

Novels are mainly Korean or Japanese. There are some Chinese novels included but they are either heavily west-influenced or not cultivation oriented. Basically, they are not Chinese-heavy if You know what I mean. The World Online is the only exception, as I simply skipped most of boring chapters.

Novels are kind of sorted best to "worst", though last novels on list my be unsorted at all. <<less

All the novels that I have read (or reading at the moment) that I like very much, almost all of them are isekai though.

These novels at least have an history (Even if it happens in the background) and also have a level of quality.... more>>

It will be a mixed list with what can be called my recomendations. <<less

The best of best isekais, IMO

personel favorites in one list, thats all.

Likes and dislikes together in one place.

A list containing novels with zero harem[love triangles in some] and good stories to my preference. Not tags as there is no central themes. But... more>> I can promise you that there is no filler stuff in my recommendations.I will be updating the details and why you should read them often enough. And don't go with the way they are queued, as things may vary from person to person, just take them as a list.If you want to use MTL for novels... use comrademao.. its the closest with OG quality I have come across, they use some good software. <<less

Just a list of recommendations that I think is worth looking into. List is not sorted to any ranks of any sort. Its added only when I remember to add a novel into the list.... more>>

CONTRIBUTOR/S:

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

Novels that I have completed. Not in any particular order.

The best novels <personal preference> available at novelupdates.

A diverse list that isn't organized by genre, in fact I'll try to include as many different types of novels as I can, but they... more>> are all ones I highly recommend <<less

list of novel what make me still loving Light Novel 

Stories where the protagonist's first super-power is the knowledge they had prior to reincarnation. (Time travel reincarnation, is included.)... more>>

The protagonist may gain other super-powers, but the story must moderately to heavily involve using the knowledge. <<less

Novels that for one reason or another I really enjoyed. Not in any particular order.
