The Good Stuff*

The Good Stuff*
*in my opinion

Kinda but not really in order. If you've got similar taste, rec me stuff in the comments! 

I read a pretty wide range of genres, but in general I avoid harem, bad-end/tragedies (real life is depressing enough lol), and yandere (they creep me out). You might find some of the above on this list, but they'd have to be really good.

Updates whenever I read something good (fairly often bc I read an insane amount), but I'm pretty selective about what goes onto this list specifically. Check my reading list for the others that aren't quite at the this level.

    Hi hi~ Love your list~ 

    I’m here to recommend some more haha

    - Running Away From the Hero (both version is amazing XD)

    - Everyone Else is a Returnee (harem but real good tho)

    - Arifureta (yes harem but worth a try, somehow I like the afterstories more)

    -Revolution of the 8th class mage (for some reason translation is getting worse TT)

    - Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter 

    - The Laid-back Life in another world of the Ex-Hero Candidate who Turned out to be a Cheat from Level 2

    - Two Saints Wander off into a Different World

    -Unmotivated Hero’s tale (slow... like really slow...)

    Hope you like them!!!! Tell me if you’ve others recommendation~

    Edit: here’s another one that I just caught up 

    - How to Live as the Enemy Prince

      Ohh nice! I'm following "How to Live as the Enemy Prince" already. It's not long enough for me to add to this list specifically. Usually I want to get past at least 3 major arcs before deciding if something's good enough for the rec, which is why most of the novels here are completed. "Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter" I'm following through the manga (which I think is ahead of the novel translation?). "Everyone Else is a Returnee" is on my To Read list. I've read Arifureta's manga, but dropped it recently--it was getting a bit too edgy and the harem just wasn't my taste. 

      Thanks for the recs tho! "Revolution of the 8th class mage" and "Running Away From the Hero" especially sound interesting. 

      Based on your rec list, have you read "To Be a Power in the Shadows"? It's hilarious and a fun read, tho I mostly follow the manga version. "Murabito Desu Ga Nani Ka?" is pretty similar to Arifureta. My biggest rec would probably be "Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?" It's got an interesting premise.

      @Polarminty 

      niceeeeeeee~

      I think the WN of "Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter" is so much further than the manga... (havent been really keeping up with the manga but im pretty sure its still quite far behind). Ya, Arifureta is quite edgy. Now that I think about it, how did I finish it??? but the afterstory is so funny (like i said i like it more than the main story which is a weird thing)

      Thanks for the recommendation too. I've heard many things about "Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?" but the spider part always puts me off but ill will give it a try. Never heard of the other two but I will add them into my list.

    I know and love the first 5 novels of your list! So i'll read the ones i don't know about.


    I'd recommend

          -"the experimental log of a crazy lich".  There's a concrete story behind and it's crazily funny. I found it while searching for stories resembling to the sun knight. However it takes 10 long chapters before really understanding. still ongoing

          -"my hero" too. it's a wonderful oneshot (https://www.novelupdates.com/series/my-hero/)

         -"in the future it's difficult to be a man". Quite good even thought we only see the MC POV as (s)he and his followers gets stronger. still ongoing (1000 chapters)

          - "the rebirth of the thief who roamed the world" is not bad either. and it finally ended. (around 1000 chapters)

      Thanks for the recs, I'll try them out! I've read "In the future it's difficult to be a man," but it got a bit long, so I had to give it up for a later .(There're a lot of novels like that on my TBC reading list lmao)
