I have avoided harem tags like the plague, due to many cardboard cutout supporting characters. However, the few stories with harem tags listed actually have characters with at least 2D/3D personalities. almost all of these have a rating of 4+ as the quality(rating) is more important than the quantity(popularity). Incomplete stories can be pirated using nyaa.si, vn miedo, ect. <<less

A personal recommendation list that I've made to recommend to my friends. This list covers a lot of genres and some might not be your... more>> cup of tea. I avoid novels that has/have netorare or cheating or a love triangle. I'm also a sucker for novels with game elements, isekai (depends on the novel), magic, kingdom building and yandere(female) novels. I'm a person that experiences mood swings time to time which changes the preference of the novel I like to read. Enjoy browsing this list and I hope you find a novel that you will like to read. <<less

Mostly LNs on this list, since I don't tend to read much Japanese WNs. Most of the stuff on here are pretty much what you'd expect a person who got into anime/manga back in the early 00's would like. Nothing super shocking or unknown, I think.... more>>

Also, just want to add that Otherside Picnic would 100% be on this list if it was actually listed on NU. It's just a really fantastically written little spooky horror with some very interesting characters. Would recommend. <<less
