novels that just reels me in like a fish
I don't read much harem though I will insert some of it in here. I will only add novels that I truly truly like and the ones that makes me insomniac because I keep thinking about them. You know, novels that always lingers in your head and makes you laugh creepily all by yourself. Please note that this is just a list based on my preferences. And don't evaluate them by their numbers.

One of my favorite novel. The ghost stories were chilling! It was very well-detailed and every sentence holds great importance to the story. If you miss out even one word while reading, you might have to backtrack a little to understand the story. Encounters with: ghosts (of course), serial killers, doctors, mental patients and unidentifiable beings. No harem. Romance was very clear and no complicated love stories! Must read! 5/5!... more>>

At first I thought it was a cheesy novel because I don't trust novels with multiple S's in its title but this one really exceeds my expectation. Before I knew it, I already read through the latest chapter and currently fidgeting for more. Highly recommended. 5/5.... more>>

Ooh, this one is really good. I remember reading it until 600-ish chapter because I caught up with the latest translation. Definitely have to read. The relationship between the characters are gold and makes you wish you have a family like them. I'm not complaining about mine though. No romance. Definitely 5/5.... more>>

This one is a definite must read. If you are one of those people who's easily attached to characters you have no choice but to love this one. The world setting is great and the characters are very human (fleshed out). The MC has a very unique way of handling problems that others can't even dream of. A definite must read. No romance only familial feelings. 5/5.... more>>

It's a very rare couple growth kind of story and has lots of puns. It's quite good and both of them are very OP. One thing that irks me though: the amount of girls in this. At first I was convinced that this is a comfortable romance novel with no love triangles (i hate love triangles) but maybe it's because the author usually writes harem novels but as the chapter goes on, the amount of females in this increased. f*cking hate it. Maybe the author intended to make the ML the guy "who is loyal to her only even with lots of beautiful females around", but nah, I don't like it. But if you're okay... more>>

This novel is so underrated. Just look at the amount of readers above! 800+ only? It deserves more than that! Though it has some loopholes and it does have some flaws, but what novel doesn't have any problem anyway? This novel has serious character development. From a coward do-anything-to-survive MC to an extremely smart MC that knows how to solve serious problems! It's a little frustrating at first with MC whining like a baby (his nickname is dogballs), but then it gets better. The kingdom building is top-notch and makes you feel like a proud  mother hen when you see how much growth he has. 4/5! READ IT!... more>>

I remember it be one of my main novel. You know, the only novel you read at certain time. I read this novel when my harem detector is not fully developed yet so I thought it was a pure adventurous novel only. I shipped the MC so hard with this one female character and you know how horrified I am when I saw the harem tag there? I was so pissed that I dropped it. Don't know, I might read it again but not now. ... more>>

Ah, I also read this one when my harem detector is still in construction. And like before, I shipped the MC hard with a female character *sad noises*. The only difference though, I read this one until the end because only when all of the female characters get together that I had a premonition that he will end up with all of them. Since there was only a few chapters left I thought that I might as well finish it. One thing about this novel though, the MC is the OPiest MC I'd ever seen. The level of OPness is top high in the sky and the harem is bigg. 4/5.... more>>

I'm currently reading this one and it's great. The MC was cold and ruthless but he's not exactly inhumane either. He has a bottom line that cannot be crossed so you won't find the feeling of frustration from having save-every-single-life MC here. He's not cunning (a bit, I guess?) but he's super smart. It has great translation and story progress. 5/5 must read.... more>>

Good story with unique setting. It doesn't exactly get me hooked but seeing the other reader's comment about how it was slow-paced at first but it'll be great later got me motivated. Many of the reviewers said that it was one of their favorite novels and that's something to be taken seriously of because not any novels can be a favorite. I definitely enjoy reading this one! 5/5!... more>>

I don't remember much about this novel, but I do remember enjoying it. It's a tower-climbing type of story. Kind hero MC but very ruthless to his enemies. Not sure if it has romance, but it's very clear that it has no harem. 5/5!... more>>

The world-setting is unique and the plot was very good. Last time I checked the chapter reached 2000+. it might've already reached 3000+ already. Overall it was a very entertaining read, though most of the characters aside from the MC are just fillers to either recite some information or to make the MC looks great. If you like OP MC and everything-goes-right story, I definitely recommend this one. A must read! 5/5!... more>>

This used to be one of my favorite novels but as usual, I caught up to the translations, then, trying to heal my addiction, I went in search for a new novel to feed on. Naturally, as I'm not a genius, I can't remember much of it in detail. BUT I still do recommend this one because the story was really interesting! There's a lot of mysteries yet to be solved and to be uncovered. Once you start on this novel, you won't be able to stop, I tell you. 5/5!!... more>>

One of my favorite slice of life novels! The MC was hard working and passionate in cooking. I really love this kind of MC because we can see all of his efforts bore fruit at the end of the day. You can't help rooting for him whenever he encounters any problems in life. No harem, just fluffy romance. 5/5!!!... more>>

I respect the MC so much in this novel. He was very upright and has excellent leadership qualities. All of his subordinates trusted and rely on him. The brotherhood in this one was admirable and the love interest was very strong and charismatic. MC is basically someone you can't help but admire even through a book! Excellent kingdom building and lots of strategies. Reading this will make your blood boil with excitement. Totally enjoy this one. 5/5!!... more>>

R.I.P to the author. The novel discontinued as the author is already deceased. Still gonna put this here, though. The MC is cunning and smart. This a weak to strong type of novel and the MC has a very strategic mind. Love it! 5/5!... more>>

This is one of the best novels I've read. It exceeded all of my expectations. But guess what? It's going on an indefinite hiatus. You don't know how much this breaks me. This novel has a TV drama but they flipped the genders and they changed the storyline so much they might as well just make a whole different story. Anyways, love the MC. He's a cold-looking MC with a warm heart. His dynamics with the girl group under his charge is just pure gold and I love all of the characters. ...well except for the female actress I guess. Might have romance, I don't know since I stopped reading as soon as I found... more>>

I picked up this novel just for a light read. The plot's kinda meh but I like it nonetheless. Though I had to power through the last couple chapters because I was getting increasingly bored. The MC is smart and OP and not much of a talker. The MC has no personality besides being OP. It's quite fun as he went through challenges in the tower. Read this if you want. 3/5.... more>>

Yes, of course I'm going to include this classic right here. Afraid to get a backlash otherwise. This is the novel that got me into reading online novels. And it was an unforgettable experience as I've never read anything like it before. The plot may sound ordinary to veteran readers, but this novel was insanely popular when it first came out because it was the first novel to introduce the concept of dungeons and hunters. So it was very fascinating. MC is hardworking and OP. There's a little romance but author just kinda stick it up at the end, so I find it quite unnecessary. Overall, good novel. 4/5!... more>>
