A list of memorable stories I read on novelupdates that covers mostly survival stories, reincarnation in non-human beings, second chances in other worlds and novels that felt unique in some way.... more>>

More often than not, stories I included had some grim parts to them. Where I find it necessary, I'll put a warning. 

Some stories are simply positive. Not everything needs to be dark. <<less

After 5 years of reading, wanted to make a list of my favorites novels so far. Not a ranking list but the first ones are the novels that impressed me the most so you can consider that a sort of ranking. Updating as i keep reading.... more>>

edit: years are now 8, adding novels in the next days <<less

Going into 2024, these novels continue to enrapture me due to their exceptional world-building, nuanced character arcs, and compelling plot-lines. Ranks are sorted.

Korean Novels about men who have either reincarnated, got a second chance, transmigrated, woke up in another body; into noble sons, side-characters, villains, extras. They sometimes have animal companions, and definitely have loyal followers. ... more>>

Novels which I've enjoyed or I plan to read. ... more>>

I care a lot about characters, plot and overall translation quality/writing so some of these should look interesting to any picky reader out there like myself.

They're all from a variety of genres.

Not in any order. 
Open to recommendations :) <<less

These are novels amongst the countless KR novels I read, where I wouldn't feel bad for recommending them to someone getting into KR novels. I have ranked these, so you may notice how some of the novels I rated higher are ranked lower than novels I rated lower.(I really hope that sentence made sense. [ranking = #1, #2, #3, etc...] and [rating = 9.1/10, etc...]) ... more>>

This is because I am also factoring an enjoyment factor when I ranked these. I read web novels because it's fun, it doesn't have to be very sophisticated for me. If you're looking for exactly that, I suggest "Pride and Prejudice".  <<less

After reading novels for 6+ years, I finally decided to create a list of novels I recommend reading. Here are my all time favorites. All... more>> of these stories are either extremely well-thought-out and/or left a deep impression on me.  <<less

Sometimes, romance and the many love interests make good novels mediocre or rubbish, so this list has the top novels that either don't have romance at all, just bromance or some romance but no harem.... more>>

All of them are action and adventure novels or both and are at the top of any series ranking list, so happy reading! <<less

list 1: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/65116/... more>>

no romance so far <<less

Good novels that you’ll find on the series ranking and underrated gems.

I've been reading LN since 2017, I initially started with JP and then moved on to KR and CN, especially those with character names that don't appear as random jargon to my eyes (as most of the CN ones), but with a few exceptions (some KN ones).... more>>

I mostly prefer fantasy with a bit of romance on the side, but also don't mind other genres when done well. These are the ones I liked that I hope will keep you entertained.

I will keep adding more as I remember/read others.

Honourable mentions (not on NU):

 The beginning after the End, Mother of Learning, Supreme Magus, Underland <<less

Ongoing novels, most of them are updated regularly, though it may not reflect on novelupdates status. You can find them on other sites (eg.webnovel). Please... more>> read on the translators' site to support them. <<less

I recommend all of the things in this list, though it’s quite varied in genre. I would say the top 60 ish here have been... more>> properly ranked, below that I don’t really care for but would still recommend if you have nothing left to read. <<less

I really enjoy the way Korean Action/Adventure novels are written, so this will be the focus of the list (there are some non-action novels here though). I used to read a lot of transmigration novels when I started out, so that's why there's a lot of them. Just a disclaimer, not many novels on this list have romance in them. Anyway, here are some Korean novels I found worth reading.... more>>

Edit: The list is somewhat ordered, but I wouldn't really pay much attention to it. It's hard not to be biased towards more recent reads. <<less

Ever since i started reading fictions i have been in an illusion of a human being that is neither in real world nor in fiction. Unfortunetly it seems there is a limit of 100 novels per list so i won't be able to showcase a near fraction of my power. ... more>>

My Rating classifications:

World Building: World building is the most essential part in my opinion for a fiction, this classification will be determined by how vivid the world of fiction is, fiction's own logical foundation and the idea the world is centered around.

Plot: Plot is the grand purpose , the main and minor events that is leading the story to the next phase of it's journey till the end of it.

Characters: A fiction without realistic characters is not sustainable from a readers viewpoint. Characters makes readers to dive deeper to the fictious world.

Writing: Some authors have a talent for writing some don't, some respects the work they do and some don't, some have experience some don't.

Translation: This can be an absolute deal breaker for some mid to adept  ranking novels.
Levels:

Begginer: You will only like the aspect if you are begginer in fictional works.

Mid: Depending on the mood you will like this level.

Adept: You will most likely like this level even if you are an adept reader unless there is a specific no go for you.

Supreme: No matter what, if there is a supreme ranking in any of the classifications, you should read it unless there is something going on with your life. <<less
