First rate novels

First rate novels
Some novels that I think are quite well written, but not perse masterpieces. How higher the novel on the list, How much closer the novel is to being a masterpiece.
I have added my commentary and reasoning as to why it deserves to be on this list.

If you have any suggestions please leave it in the comments :D

Toika is known for his amazing works, but after 'Everyone Else Is A Returnee', they all missed something. This was the last novel that it happend too, it is quite interesting with a few fun plot twists. Although the writing is good, the plot was missing something. What this is 'something' is, I am not too sure, but I think it has to do with the fact that Toika kept introducing new things in the form of our MC's memory, without ever mentioning it prior, like the best dungeons with the best items etc. It became a bit stale, the characters were there to do things but they didn't seem real at all, and I... more>>

Similar to The Strongest System, but better. Our MC is a transmigrated into a xuanhuan world, called the Master Teacher Continent. He has a library in his head, and every book he reads or lays his eyes upon, get automatically stored in his head. He can also see through all flaws, be it in combat techniques or cultivation's. The whole story follows this set path on how things happen, which get repeated over and over, to the point that you can guess how the story will set out from there-on. There is only 1 plottwist that had me shocked, which was quite ingenious from the author, when you read it you will eventually know which... more>>

#24Ark
32 Chapters Every 244 Day(s) 5489 Readers 43 Reviews 12-10-2014
I am currently on 50% for this one, and up until now, it has been decent. The world-building has been disappointing, but the character progression has been decent. In that sense, it has some elements of Overgeared's main character but Ark is a lot less of a loser from the beginning already. Ark is hardworking and determined, which is fun to read, but the plot of the game is the classic 'fighting against the darkness!' sh*t which is quite boring. The novel would've been a lot better if they explained the game better, because sometimes things just don't add up. It was explained that Ark doesn't have a lot of mana but when push comes... more>>

    Honest list, but you kept that "missing" part of those novels vague. If you just state that there's something missing in those novels, I genuinely don't want to read.
