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

These are list of novels I’ve read for the past 3 years of discovering novel updates. These are gems and, and novels I love to read. ... more>>

Some of them are completely translated though the remaining are still under translation you can easily understand the MTLed version. 

The novels listed below are not particularly in order. I’ll add more once I found those novels I forgot to save 2 years ago. 

Hope this list will help you choose great novels to read.

You can also comment your novel suggestions so that others can enjoy it too!  HAPPY READING!! <<less
