warning: this list is dead, I've dropped some novels here and I'm lazy to add other novels so.... yeah, this was a failure of a list.... more>>

It's hard to read and not regret it, I've read hundreds of LNs but I can say I remember about a couple of dozens lol (And some are bad memories that I regret reading). Here are some novels I don't regret reading and I'd like finishing them if I haven't yet, sadly my brain can't deal with MTL. My memory sucks and I've been reading LNs since like 2016 so I've forgotten about most, I can't even remember what I read last month, so I guess if something makes it to the list it's because it was memorable enough or because I read it recently. 

Also, it's mostly comedy, I love comedy, I just want a good laugh. <<less

These are stories I really enjoyed reading, and the list features a variety of genres. I’ll only be including the ones I liked the most. ... more>>

P.S. The list is not in order.  <<less

These are Novels I'm reading at the moment, or I will soon begin reading

people reincarnated or turned into animals/inanimate object

No romance or harems

Webnovels that I liked quite a bit

Not so much drama goin through life with some excitement easy enjoyable read

Novels that have no lasting romance or love interests. There will be no smut, harem (if MC attracts some people, I don't mind until it becomes a major part of the story or MC becomes interested in them), or ecchi, and BL/GL also count as romance. The list includes a personal rating and (often rambling) review/description.... more>>

Of course, it's also about my tastes, so this list will be mostly fantasy and action novels (op mc will be a common feature). I am a wordy person so I also don’t mind wordier books, too... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The list is in no particular order, but novels with <100 chapters and on hiatus/slow updating (less/around as often as 1 chap/month) will go in the back, starting at #33. This is because I assume people are looking for binge reads like me.

DISCLAIMER: The list is subject to change and revision - my impression changes as I think about them/read more. I cannot guarantee a novel has no romance later. I'll try to update this rec list as I read. No promises though, so my descriptions may be outdated.

My all time favorites, absolutely no romance. Listed in order of personal enjoyment. Near the end of the list, it becomes something more like "yeah this was pretty good," but nevertheless, I did enjoy it. ... more>>

Sidenote: I find it hard to read novels where MCs are too brutal/ruthless, so don't expect many recs on those novels. 

Recommendation: I highly recommend Mother of Learning. Originally an english webnovel, so it's not on novel updates (It's on royalroad and fictionpress). No romance, and the time travel/time loop is well done. It's completed at 800k words. The writing has it's flaws, but I personally found it incredibly enjoyable. 

Summary: Zorian, a mage in training, only wanted to finish his education in peace. Now he struggles to find answers as he finds himself repeatedly reliving the same month. 'Groundhog Day' style setup in a fantasy world.

Another english webnovel that's really good is Never Die Twice. Completed. No romance. Villain MC. LitRPG.  <<less

Happy ending stories, typically fluffy relationships with no misunderstandings or quickly resolved misunderstandings. Also counterattacks/redo life stories with satisfying results. Not listed in any particular... more>> order. <<less

Relaxing reads that sooth the mind.
Rainy mood - classical music in the background - late night - bum days

Top ten novels I love the most. Currently not complete. Novels where I laugh the whole time or just got hooked into the story. My all time favorite. Whether they are completed or not, I will also not care about grammar and such if the story is good. But I do like novels with better grammar. If a bad grammar novel is on here I just like it that much then.... more>>

Included but not on novelupdates, pokemon: a mythical journey (bad grammar but interesting story) <<less

No description.

So you're reborn, transmigrated, reincarnated, shapeshifted, only to become a pet??

I’ve been using this cite for a while without an account so I’ve never made a reading list but I thought people might be interested... more>> in the books I’ve curated over the years. TBH I have a pretty high literary standard but at the same time I like to indulge in tr*sh taste, so the quality of these books might be mixed but they should at least leave an impression. Be prepared for a lot of isekai. Also I'm a bit*h for completed novels, proper conclusions are great. <<less

Here some of my favorite novels, i tend to like novel without romance, harem, ecchi, or tragedy tags. I also like stories with great side characters rather than just focusing solely on MC. So if you look for those harem seeking protag and usual face slapping novel then sorry~ this isn't for ya...... more>>

P.S (edit 12/21) i removed all novel with romance hints, enjoy~ <<less

A dumping ground for stories i've read that somehow decent. In no particular order

If you guys are looking to have a 'swell' time, then just look at my list. It mostly has Japanese and Korean light novels as you can see from the list. But, don't let that discourage you. I add any books i have read personally or just books that have good ratings and what not. But, do not rely on the ratings alone. I hope you find something that piques your interest while going through my list and hope you have a happy time! Good day :3... more>>

(BTW the ones with the comments are the ones I've read and I will always be objective with the actual rating! :D) <<less

So these have very interesting premises and are occasionally well written, but these humble and hopeful beginnings will sometimes become the sermon of what not... more>> to do, for example, use a Mary Sue that must be Asian guy or a over powered woman  or a protagonist who is dull in many regards and is either supposedly weak or overpowered. However I will throw some gunine good ones in the mix and it is up to you to see the quality <<less

Novels to read that I really enjoyed.... more>>

Will be updated when possible.

Note, I almost always enjoy any COMPLETED novels. Because waiting for a novel is terrible unless its worth it. Any non completed novels on this list I enjoy a lot. Any completed novels I also enjoy but might not end up on top of the list. Manga as well. I will try to upload a manga and anime list too maybe. <<less
