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

The fluffy romance that gives you butterflies! Easy to digest, simple, and short. But not plotless. Some are deep, some are a bit complicated (but... more>> not in a soap opera kind of way, more like crime cases, psychological and gore, but still high on romance). Modern troupe. Can be transmigrated, rebirth, or just normal. <<less

It's just as the name says. Always open for recommendations! The Rating is based on the Female Lead. Check out my other lists here!... more>>

Note: This list is still underconstruction. Some may be added in, some may be taken out. For the later case, it's usually because suddenly I don't like the direction the stories are heading to. The sorting can sometimes also change, because at the front page, I want to present the underrated stories rather than the already famous stories.  <<less

My favorite novels out of all the novels i've read. 

As a man, I am not interested in shoujo novels in general... However, there are some that I've dared to try out that I've quite enjoyed. Here's a list!... more>>

Some I've admittedly not yet tried but soon intend to do so since they look like they would appeal, so my confidence level in the appeal is high for the first 15 titles, and... more experimental for the following...

Also, check out:
- The calamity of a reborn witch on RRL, it's a really great novel

I welcome thoughts and comments, particularly on ranking, additions and unsuitable novels for this list. <<less

I might add some specially memorable ones even if I didn't enjoy them

Edit: I have stopped most of my activities in reading web novels as of late, so there may be very few updates to this list

Additional recommendations not found on Novel updates:

This is my newest list in the beginning of October. I want to separate some novels in my simple stories list and put them here.... more>> This list contains the stories involving prince/princess, noble, knight, etc. Why bother separate them? Because my simple love stories list is getting huge and also I want to keep it more organized. So if you love a story with aristocracy vibe, not in modern era, you come to the right place. <<less

Novels that have interesting plots.

Reading list for novels with female mc's that aren't annoying or have an idiotic personality.
