I love novels with exciting action and a survivalist story especially ones with female leads! That's what this list is. It's ordered from most to least liked novel (I rated them too) and at the end are novels I've yet to read.... more>>

~P.S. Worm is a webnovel that features a dark story centering a girl with certain powers and her dangerous adventures. It's not on NU (cause it's not a translated novel), but you can find it on parahuman's website 

Also, Survive Romance and 7 seeds are good survival manga <<less

mostly powerful fmc and/or near death experiences with intrigue 

A dump of BL/BG/no-CP novels that are survival games/leveling wuxianliu 无限流 novels. Good ones in this genre should either 1) Good world-building (outside the games) 2) Well-developed characters and/or romance 3) Interesting games/concepts for each "level" 4) Well written 5) Decent ending. It's pretty hard to meet all of these but YMMV lol... more>>

For FL-led novels, it's either low-CP or no-CP or even if there's romance, it's more like ML is there to be a power couple/fulfill reader desires so be warned

For BL, sometimes it's heavy on the romance less on plot (if that matters to you)

Classics that are not on NU include:

穿进赛博游戏后干掉BOSS成功上位 author: 桉柏
Get into the cyber game and take out the BOSS Ignore the name, a well-developed FL, side characters

在废土世界扫垃圾 author: 有花在野 - Sweeping up tr*sh in the wasteland (unfinished?) - I haven't tried but highly reccedHorror; world-hopping; unconventional concept/more humour, no-CP

支付宝到账888万元 - Four College Students' Apocalyptic Quest for 8.88 Million YuanHorror, zombie, group of girls, no-CP? - I haven't tried but highly recced

人设不能崩[无限] 条纹花瓶 - Image Can't Collapse

Interesting live-stream concept, FL is a drama queen who takes new personas each game, basically no-CPauthor has several other OGs including 八十一道送命题 (81 Questions) and 无限列车 (Limitless Train) - decent reads if you want strong-FL with good game concepts <<less
