Shadow's Gems

A few hidden gems ... others not so much but all of them totally worth the read. List spans quite a few genre such as Fantasy, sci-fi, cultivation, management, mystery.

Not all novels in the list will have top ratings. In my opinion the best novels are rated around 3.2 - 4.5. Anything over is mostly BL or FL with some exceptions. Anything below is mostly tr*sh with minor exceptions of novels for people with very specific taste.

PS: All my recommendations are based on MTL. I rarely read human translated versions ..

Nice list there with very creative comments!!. Would recommend you to read Kingdom's Bloodline

  Thanks ! but I would never really recommend Kingdom's bloodline to anyone. It's a tragedy on repeat novel and mostly due to a very weak willed and s*upid MC with Hero complex. He and every one of his loyal subordinates survive 90% of fights/schemes purely due to plot armor, it's just not as straightforward due to nonsense philosophy garbage. I agree it has some good world building and scheming plots but the downside is far far worse.

  Are you going off the tags ? 'I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World' is one of the rare modern world sci-fi novels without too blatant nationalism. The MC moves out of China (gets his own sovereign nation) and never shares any technology.
