1 to 28: Novels I read completely (if not ongoing), sorted in order of personal preference.... more>>

29 to ?: Novels I plan on reading in the future, not sorted.

Male centric (male protagonist) novels in both modern and ancient settings, no BL unless it's a little bromance (meaning, author may have added a dash of bromance for fan service, but no actual shounen ai or yaoi included in this list). Shounen, seinen, xuanhuan, no-CP (no romance) or novels featuring a little straight romance but mostly focused on action/adventure (ie, romantic subplot). A few of these have romantic relationships detailed in extras only, such as Chronicles of Primordial Wars and Everyone Else is a Returnee. Thus, if you dislike romance or harem you can simply skip the epliogue/extras portion altogether.

Majority of these had fan translations completed at some point, so you can find them on various novel aggregator websites if the chapter links are gone from NU. Otherwise it's not bad to MTL them for yourself. <<less

Chinese BL set in ancient times, whether an alternate history on Earth or in a different world. These can be fantasy, mystery/case solving, xuanhuan, xianxia,... more>> wuxia, mpreg, ger, or just ordinary historical. Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Sorted in order of writing quality/personal preference. Many of the stories listed are geared towards drama, but there are a few included that are more lighthearted romance. Note: many of these have official English versions (sold in a series of volumes usually), hope that everyone can help support the official publications! <<less

NOT RANKED BY NUMBER. Lots of diversity in the novels. Different kinds like zombie apocalypse, horror, or light-hearted reads like comedy and romance. They all have their own quirks and differences, but one thing that they all have in common is that they are strong in their own way, and they are all female leads. Mentally, physically, talent-wise, etcetera. Some have romance and some don't.  If that's your cup of tea, go right ahead! I don't put bad novels on this list. So read them all. 3/5+ stars only!... more>>

This list is what I've read in Novel Updates that I like, so far. Hope you enjoy this too.

(If you know any other novel with the below, pls comment)... more>>

Novels where the MC knows he's not alone in the world. Another person transmigrated with him! (Or reborn).

Criteria:

1. This person who also transmigrated CANNOT be the ML. MC needs some support from other people too.

2. Must have memories of the modern world.

3. Must acknowledge that the other person is also a transmigrator. (SPIDERMAN MEME)

4. This person can be of any gender!

5. Must not be from a QT genre (multiple world-hopping). <<less

Currently obsessed with reading these kinda stuff. No harem. No romance. <<less

Danmei novels in modern/contemporary settings. No transmigration, no cultivation, just slice of life.

A list of novels that i have read but mostly dropped because of boredom or because i read many novels at once, not being able to focus on one novel, mostly because of slow updates or because i have lost my interest to read it. ... more>>

There is so many tabs of dropped novels that i have read so I'm ganna make a list of it, maybe i will continue reading it

 (there is no based ranking, all are randomly added.)

**will add more later. <<less

Just a list of novels that have manhwa adaptations, just making a couple of lists (cause there’s a lot not that I’m complaining) so I... more>> can keep track of all the ever increasing list of adaptations  not ranked in any order. <<less

This contains the dropped parts of the main list, All Novels I've Read Sorted By Rating! It was reaching the max limit so I've moved the stories l dropped here.... more>>

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by best/enjoyed the most to least.  I didn't bother to ranked the dropped stories because I don't want to waste brainpower on that. So if I didn't give a rating, I won't sort it.

The other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank. The reason I want to put my rating and reviews straight in the list is because you can't search for a specific user's review in the novel page if there are too many reviews. You will have to search one by one. Its easier to straight up  see why I put the novel in a particular list plus my review in the list itself. Sigh, novelupdates is really not user friendly. <<less

List of novels in my To Read list for my favourite trope, rags to riches! To my best guess anyway since I haven't read them XD. Also usually slice of life. I also put in some untranslated novels from some favourite poor to rich authors from the jjwxc website that I desperately hope someone would translate in the comments T.T... more>>

I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. And the incompleted ones at the back.  Recommendations are very welcome! <<less

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by best/enjoyed the most to least. The ranking within the same number of stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too different to compare with each other haha. All in one spot. ... more>>

The bottom of the list that are my lower rated and unranked/dropped novels, I have moved to a new list "All Novels I've Read Sorted By Rating (3.7 Stars & Below + Dropped)" due to a list only having a max of 100. In the future, this will be basically my Top 100 list. The others will be from ranked 101 onwards. The other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank. 

The reason I want to put my rating and reviews straight in the list is because you can't search for a specific user's review in the novel page if there are too many reviews. You will have to search one by one. Its easier to straight up  see why I put the novel in a particular list plus my review in the list itself. Sigh, novelupdates is really not user friendly.

PS: Sorry that some reviews aren't as detailed. The ones with no Date Read and only an overall rating, I hadn't used my new system yet. So they may be at not the precise order but what can you do -.-' <<less

Any recommendations are very welcome! All the family/village/kingdom building poor to rich, wealth making business type of stories I've read because this is one of... more>> my favourite tropes of all time! Including any business management! (Just discovered there is a tag for it haha) Its just that usually its not done very well or only the kingdom building is good and the characters and scaling is so bad its not enjoyable to read anymore. The stories included will have things like improving the quality of life of the village/kingdom, introducing modern advancements into an ancient/medieval culture type of place. And with likeable characters to keep you going. I'll only include the novels where I read 100% of it or most of it. Probably won't include any dropped novels. <<less
