Strike while it is Hot
These are the novels that I personally enjoyed, though some of them might not be my favorites, they still had enough influence stay in my heart as a decent novel at the very least... well, most of them. (Also I'm actually back now 2022, got burnt out after reading too much reincarnation paradise)[2023 here, uhhh, oops]
*Rest of description is for when you enter the list*
{I'm back and ready to fix my younger self's s*upid tastes, some are pretty good though}
(My reviews will not be consistent with the list because I go into the read deeper rather than just a overview, make sure to check my oldest comment, it is also the most liked one, it has the unpublished reads)
[S tier is a 5 star read, A is a 4.5 star read, B tier is a 4 star read, C tier is a 3.5 star read, D tier is a 3 star read, E tier is a 2 star read, F tier is a 1 star read]
[SS and X tier are special. SS is consistency and intrigue, and X is the top 3 with the SS tier also being applied]
(exaggerated tier which is a new special tier has been added, this is when I give reads that just started a good tier even when there isn't enough chapters to properly review it, the tier of the read will most probably change someday)
(The special tiers will now be accompanied by a regular tier, Exagg. tier will be accompanied with a Z)

Comments (13)
I'll remove dropped novels, the ones I have dropped are:
[D] Garbage Brave: "It was good at first, but gradually became a typical Japanese Harem Novel."
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[E] Game of Divine Thrones: "It had a good start and seemed like it would be another one of those second chance novels that would be pretty good, but it failed miserably. Once it hit the Demon God Arc which is only like 30 chapters in, The author rushed the hell out of it and the rest of the novel after that, which ruined it."
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[F] Boy Who Has Been Reincarnated Twice Spends Peacefully as an S-Rank Adventurer, ~ I who was a Sage and a Hero of Previous World, Will Live in Peacefulness in the Next World~: "Ignoring the long title, this novel is just pure garbage"
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[E] To Deprive a Deprived Person: "Really, how the f*ck isn't the world destroyed by now with all these op non-human characters. weird harem and god damn this novel is confusing as f*ck, I barely remember anything. One of those novels that look really good at the start, but start slacking after a little fame. I think the author realized they were slacking and tried to add many elements to it and make them all come together, but instead it just became a sh*t show and you can't find out what the f*ck is going on."
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[B] God of Soul System: "I dropped this because it is a world travel novel, I like world travel, but the problem is that it is a One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach fanfic, I dropped it at the end of the One Piece arc, I'm just not interested and the One Piece arc was just full of inconsistencies and didn't make sense compared with the original series, so I'm not so keen on reading the next parts which are based on stories I haven't read yet(read Naruto, same thoughts, too inconsistant for me to keep reading)."
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[C] Shinka no Mi: "Couldn't go further than chapter 73 due to an embarrassing scene, curse my easily embarrassed self! It is an interesting read, my opinions about it change occasionally though."
...
Now for the unpublished reads, here they are:
[D] Reincarnated as an OP Loli[Scribble Hub/Royal Road] "Utter chaos, the start seemed normal, but this novel is just about spreading chaos."
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[A] The Oscillation[Scribble Hub] "A nice Earth based litrpg world with a unique twist, fun and insightful" (Book 2, Chapter 1)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[C] Cursed Reincarnation[Scribble Hub] "A guilty pleasure among the reads, feeding off misfortune like no tomorrow"
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[S] Lolified ~ Restarting Back to Ten Years Old[Scribble Hub] "A nice second chance type story, I love it and it helps me remember there are stories outside of action that I can enjoy"
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[D] The Scarlet Champion[Royal Road] "This is the story that actually got me to begin taking reviewing seriously and think hard about making a list, it holds a special place in my heart for helping in my decision, but it just is really plain, in a good way, but still really plain and simple" (Chapter 8)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[C] A Demon's Tale of Wonders[Scribble Hub] "Fun, but the writing just doesn't hit the mark, the beginning is great, but when they exit the dungeon it becomes just pretty decent" (Arc 2, Chapter 30)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[E] The Man Who Killed The First Monster[Scribble Hub] "Another one where the beginning is a little eh and will get tr*shed for being too boring and long, once we get into the story it is a below average, I haven't read that far, but seeing the MC become more unlikable by the chapter is a serious hit this early on." (Chapter 30)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[B] Core .001[Royal Road] "A fantastic fiction that is one of the more entertaining reads. The MC is actually a little, well...ret*rded...and doesn't make full use of her abilities which is sure to be irritating, currently on a hiatus too, bummer." (Volume 3, Chapter (5) Heart and Soul)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[C] The extra refuses to remain an insignificant character[Scribble Hub] "I liked the old name better, but what evs, a wild ride that is fun and great. Still can't just keep repeating that ride you idiot author, thankfully it will probably change into a different ride after a few more chapters, that is what you gotta love about these fictions, they can easily change." (Chapter 4-6)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[SS(A)] I’m an Idiot in Another World[Scribble Hub] "The MC is a f*cking lunatic and the story is complete chaos, 10/10 would read again. I reread it and it was exactly as I remembered, a great journey of laughs and chaos that will have trouble leaving your mind due to its insanity." (Chapter 29)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[D] My concealing abilities are too effective![Scribble Hub] "Something I read during my gender bender phase, just another one of those, still pretty decent."
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[C] I Didn’t Even Want to Live, But God Forced Me to Reincarnate![Scribble Hub/Convallaria's Library] "A nice little slice of life type of read, it is a age progression fiction though, so grab your popcorn ladies and gentlemen and get ready for a long read"
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[A] A Former Hero's Journey[Scribble Hub] "the type of read that is just perfect, the story fit my tastes throughout the entire read,. It has little errors and mistakes, a really great read." (Chapter 17)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[C] Reincarnated Hero Kills the Summoner[Scribble Hub] "The start was a little "interesting" and honestly a little garbage and then for the rest of volume 1 it was decent, volume 2 seems to be pretty good right now, so this read is definitely really enjoyable." (Chapter 37)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[E] REBORN AS A CANNON FODDER ZOMBIE IN A APOCALYPTIC NOVEL[Scribble Hub] "Pretty eh, suffers from too many mistakes. I rated higher on scribble hub since this is the author's first serious story and a lot of stories just suck way more than it, but since I want to keep ratings accurate here, i'll rate it a E tier.
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[C] Reborn into a world of mechs! nah i’d rather use magic?[Scribble Hub] "Chaos done right. The time skips were a little annoying and the story is a little all over the place, but it is still a really fun read."
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[D] I’m a Bat?[Scribble Hub] "Mmmmm, yes. Another read by the same author as the read just above this one that is all about letting loose. Just got to make everything chaotic and have the MC let out their insanity."
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[C] Crystal Down[Scribble Hub/Author's Home Page] "The start was interesting, the part after that was a little boring, then it became pretty good after the MC met other people. I enjoy the story, I also quite like the foreshadowing of some things, the characters, and the numbering system, which is a nice touch even if it is pretty confusing. Some of the obvious problems would be the minor grammar issues and of course the numbering system being a little confusing, and also the potential BL element coming into play which will probably make me just drop the story. The focus on food is a small annoyance also, but no biggie. I forgot to mention the perspective switches, yeah, this novel has that, and I don't get why the authors who do this don't warn you beforehand even if it is obvious, it was easy to identify, but still a little annoying." (Chapter 44)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[A] The Gilded Hero[Royal Road] " Why refuse a nice little story when it is right in front of you? This story is a psychological/emotion inducing twist on the summoned to another world genre. It gave me horror vibes a few times and really pulls you in enough to actually have the same emotion and feel as the MC. Has a couple problems, namely the writing spoiling itself and grammar errors that need tons of fixing by the readers. The fragments at the top are what get me, absolutely beautiful add-on. (Chapter 52)
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
[C] That Time I got Isekai'd to another world with my truck[Webnovel] Kill me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)(( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)(( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
...
These stories and the novels as well are definitely lingering in my mind for many different reasons which I will not name here, but it at least gave them a right to enter the list. This list has become more of a rating-esque/review-esque thing for my newer reads and just a overview for my older reads, but whatever, gives me things to do.
I'm going to change some things around and add details to make the stories more appealing a lot of the time, I'm most probably not going to touch the unpublished story details much though because...um...I'm lazy man, leave me alone.
I made a mini-guide for currency while rereading "Kill the Hero" and I have decided to put it here too, this list will teach you how to convert without wasting time using your search bar and accidentally hitting enter sometimes*cough cough*.
This is how I deal with currency:
Yuan is pretty average difficulty, this type of currency is probably the easiest for people without good mental math skills followed by yen then won.
this is why using periods instead of commas is very annoying, leads to many inconsistencies.
It also seems easier to convert when there are no commas, but it really isn't, instead of using your mind to ignore the commas and get the conversion right, you now have to use your mind to pin point where to put the commas back, so you don't get the amount wrong by accident.
As a person who doesn’t have oriental roots it’s not very convenient to see all expenses written in foreign currency such as mentioned. Exchange rate might be not precise but very convenient nonetheless to get a basic understanding of what’s happening. Thanks for adding it.
I can’t agree with provided ranking of some novels but it seems that we’re sensitive to different things
thanks for the suggestion, I'm not into Romance or Harem, but I'll trust in the fact that you say that it is worth looking into. I need to get through some other reads first though since this read doesn't really catch my eye.
that was a good list

@Valven Ragereader's list looks very interesting now that you have actually said that it is pretty good, I wasn't able to get too into their list.
I treat my list as a rating list mostly, so my list is a little more shabby. I remove some of the worse reads on it and put them in the dropped category instead though, so there is no staining the readers' eyes with garbage.
A good list, you should try these and say your thoughts (if you can, please)
The Devil's Cage
The Legendary Mechanic
The Novel's Extra

By the way, you seem more interested in the action genre...
I see the action genre as more entertaining, I'm not into drama and romance much, soils my mood most of the time and also are genres that have high chances of triggering my easy embarrassment problem.
I'll make sure to try those, allow me to add a little something like I did with the other guy's list:
The Devil's Cage
The Legendary Mechanic
T̶h̶e̶ ̶N̶o̶v̶e̶l̶'̶s̶ ̶E̶x̶t̶r̶a (I dropped this long ago, it was pretty good, but I just couldn't stand the drama)
