Bias towards showbiz/ creative industry (except for idol) & kingdom-building

Various genre and types, this is like my main list for every enjoyable novel I've read.... more>>

I'll also make list with certain genre or types. The source for those list are from here.

Note: The number doesn't represent the ranking <<less

Stuff i've read ages ago that i want to be able to easly look back on, appreciate and reflect on the passing of the time, whenever i go back here.... more>>

This list is based on my sentimentality, memories of time well-spent, of things close to my heart. Not on the novels' quality (you should still check them all out). I will try to sort them somewhat reasonably, at least.

If you think this list is missing some novels, you should cry about it in your closet. If they aren't here, I haven't read them (or liked them enough). Prolly because they got buried in my 'to read' list. (Yuusha, Aruiwa Bakemono to Yobareta Shoujo; tr*sh of the Count's Family; M E M O R I Z E, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint; Sevens; Monster Paradise; Pivot of the Sky; Release that Witch; Reverend Insanity; The Dark King; etc.)
Don't read anything below 50th place on this list, it's not worth it.

Also, this won't ever be updated, I think. <<less

For all my poor citizens of harem society who try very hard to find good harem novels.... more>>

But i can guarantee u i have read all good novels. <<less

A mix of old, new, JPN, CHN, KR novels. ... more>>

List of novel that have good plot, especially novel that give different perspectives than your usual trope. Not in particular order. Mostly not romance focused, might contain bl/gl. Does bl/gl even matter when it almost didn't exist?

No self insert, no useless harem, no narcissistic young master, no assasin reincarnated into young lady of some family.

They are all translated at some point, so you should be able to find them somewhere on the internet. <<less

Another story is: "Tyranny of Steel" The story progress something like Release That Witch. MC makes Austria become a power house by introducing gun technology... more>> in an era of cold weapon. Some reader says its unacceptable since MC does not have super power like the witches in Release That Witch but the author keep mentioning the MC have an almost photographic memory and he is an engineering soldier who focus on technology knowledge. Warning: MC is grooming his teenage fiancé to be his wife. There are s*x scenes too. (Recommended but with warning: Adult/Mature tag.)  <<less

The ranking is irrelevant.

This is not in order...

To-reads? ... more>>

ALSO, DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR REREADS AND IN PROGRESSES (E.G. REVEREND INSANITY, OMNISCIENT READER, TR*SH OF COUNT'S FAMILY, THE EARTH IS ONLINE, MISTAKENLY SAVING THE VILLAIN (?), LORD OF THE MYSTERIES, SURPRISE! THE SUPPOSED TALENT SHOW WAS ACTUALLY-?!, AND IF YOU FEEL UP TO IT, HOUSE OF HORRORS ++MORE) <<less

So this is most of the novels I have read or am about to read :)... more>>

This list is a bit of a mix of series that I could recommend without hesitation to anyone to try and those that may not... more>> be sensational, but for some reason interested me. As soon as I find some time I will split it into several other lists. <<less

Random novels that I have read, am reading, or plan to read. Will update over time as I remember and find them all. 

How would you bring technology into a fantasy world? Make sense of the magics? Feed people and get rid of the corrupt nobles? This is specifically on developing a city or territory, not:
- Developing a dungeon/core (see my other list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10742/)... more>>

First, a few worthy mentions that aren't on NU:
1. Castle Kingside (rewrite) - a lot of inspiration from Release that Witch, imo improved! Warning: it's slow. Kingdom only begins around c60ish.
2. The iron teeth - although territory development comes late in the story, it's well done and exotic, being based on a goblin kingdom
3. 1632 (published book) - an American village goes back to the 30 years war. It's much less fantastical, but has a lot of similar elements to other kingdom building novels.
4. The Eagle's Flight - highly intricate fantasy webnovel
5. Defiance of the fall
6. Randidly Ghosthound - neither Randidly nor Defiance of the Fall focus on kingdom building, but they both have elements related to setting up a post-apocalypse system city - complete the quest to get the village crystal/coin!
7. The Expansion (Legend of the Arch Magus) - [have not yet read] - recommendation from Hitexh in the comments
8. Enlightened Empire - weaker than the others <<less

Thrash novels are too prevalent, that's why I made it easier for everyone and just made a list of in mea sentetia novels that actually do have great plot or those that stand out from their peers. These are the must reads. ... more>>

PS: Honestly just read Brandon Sanderson, George RR Martin, Robert Jordan, Patrick Rothfuss, etc. for actual good fantasy novels.

Recommendations are welcome

List is not in any particular order mainly because it is a bit hard to rank my favourites <<less

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

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