All stuff I've read till the end and ranked by personal preference. The ones at the front are more accurate, the ones at the end are unsorted. ... more>>

My preference: Meandering slow-burn novels like Mao Ni's stuff get extra points. Harem/romance/face-slapping power fantasies get minus points. Completed novels get bonus points, and terrible endings get points knocked off. Also plus points for character building friends/family/enemies and down points for solo yolo.

English ones not included in rankings: Worm, Pact, Mother of Learning, The Perfect Run, Twig, Lightning is the Only Way, Master this Poor Disciple Died Again Today, Unable to Cultivate I can only Raise Soul Pets

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

Small list of the stories I've found to be compelling even if flawed due to at the very least getting the basics right if not excelling in one aspect. (world building, character growth, character development, action, humor, etc.)... more>>

Quoting a user from the discord: 
"The best stories with a super overpowered protagonist don't rely on combat to be the motivating force for plot progression. 
It's interpersonal relationships, it's a time limit on how long they have to reach a goal, it's severely limiting factor on their powers, any number of other things. 
Making a story about a super overpowered protagonist, and then making every single piece of conflict in the story based around fighting severely drags a story down."

I've omitted any stories hosted only on webnovel/Qidian.

Work in progress, in no particular order. <<less
