Noice Novels...they are not in order

This is a list of the best translated cultivation style novels I've found. Stories from genres like Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuahuan/LitRPG are all qualified as long as they have some sort of constant power progression that characters deal with throughout the story.... more>>

Overall Considerations:

For a story to be included they must have a great prose, excellent translation, superior worldbuilding, and three dimensional side characters.

Personal Considerations:

I personally abhor evil/edgy/"anti-hero" mcs and so those will not be featured on this list. It's very easy to be selfish, immoral and evil. It's much more difficult to be kind, just and principled when the going gets tough so I find stories with main characters who have a code and stand by it the most interesting. MCs don't need to be paragon's of justice, but when confronted with difficult choices they must display some semblance of empathy and kindness in their actions.

I also love discussions of philosophy and morality and find their inclusion in the context of wuxia and xanxia worlds to be extremely interesting.

I like romance. I dislike harems, but if I have to make a choice I prefer harems to no romance.

I have a personal preference to reading male main characters.

Organization:

I've tried my best to order the list in by considering both general quality of the novel itself and the personal preference concepts I've listed above. I hope this list can help. <<less

My reading list.

The cream of the crop of novels in no particular order. I'll add in more novels as I find them.

Some great translator-Sama, I beseech thee, please!

i got so bored cause i couldn't find any more well known wuxia novels that interests me anymore so i'm making this list to sort... more>> out some of the lesser known novels that interests me to read. keep in mind i haven't read any of these novels yet and i might never read some of them i'm only throwing them on this list because something piques my curiosity. if i read any of these i will leave a comment on it and maybe write a review. (and fyi i did sort out these with a certain criteria, which were novels were martial arts genre had cultivation and excluded harems)  <<less

Over the years of reading I've developed a lot of pet peeves in regards to Chinese, Korean, and Japanese novels. From Japanese comedy, Japanese character archetypes, never-ending arrogant young masters, to harems in general; I've grown completely sick of many things. These are the ones that have managed to avoid (or managed to use well) the large amount of things I've grown to despise and are what I believe are among the best. They may not remain good for the whole novel but what matters is that I enjoyed them immensely for any portion of the story. They are in no particular order.... more>>

So this is a list of the novels that I think are the greatest on this site at least according to my own tastes  as... more>> of 8.08.2019. I will try to rank them according to how good I think they are but only to the best of my abilities as many of them are equally good or incomparable or it depends on your mood. <<less
