Peak Action Novels
Best action webnovels I’ve ever read.
Here are some American web serials that aren't on this site:
“Practical Guide to Evil” is equal to LOTM imo. It's an epic fantasy with very developed characters, a unique and sprawling setting, and a very simple but well-thought-out power system. The beginning is rough but it does improve. The MC's change from a naive and stubborn girl to a warmonger and cunning faction leader is very worth the wait. She's probably the sickest MC of any novel on this list. 10/10.
"Perfect Run" is another good American serial. It's a sci-fi story about a witty and somewhat deranged MC who can reset the timeline and does so until he creates a perfect sequence of events. 9.5/10.
"Worm" by Wildbow as well. It's a classic American web serial. It's set in a world with superheros and follows the MC who can control bugs. Most fights take place in an urban setting and the author builds an intricate world with a wide variety of powers. It's also interesting to see how the MC's power doesn't get stronger over the course of the book but she instead just becomes more adept at using it, as well as becomes more cunning. 8/10
"Mother of Learning" is also quite popular. Is a time loop magic academy story. Slow pace, unraveling mystery. 8/10
"Shadow s*ave" as well. Witty assassin MC. 9/10 (MC's flaw is annoying but not debilitating.)
(For previous viewers, I've separated the BL into another list)

- Saving Little Mushroom for last, heard that it has loads of angst. Overall, the list is accurate. LOTM is the best literary work out there.Reply · 1 Like · 1 · 0

- Thanks! I’ve never cried over a book as much as Little Mushroom, but it was still a fun read thoughReply · 1 · 0
