Smart, strategic, and selfless mc's make these novels a treat.

I knew novels are source of great manhwas but I didn't realize they are 1000x better than adaptations... more>>

These are personal list of webnovels that got me hooked in this medium. It all have serious plot from bl romance to no romance at all. Overall mostly male mc that are relatable in my point of view 

I think the most common thing about these guys r their unintentional self sacrificing tendencies it's kinda laughable <<less

my fav trope, just homies fighting together, protecting each other, and sometimes, ahem, almost kissing each other (they're married trust me i was the table)... more>>

Will not be including the three legendary novels {aka tr*sh count family, omniscient reader, and my S rank hunters, cuz at this point you should have read all of those already ( ☞˙ᵕ˙)☞}

Am i promoting my beloved novels to have more friends to fangirl about? yes. Am i ashamed of it? no. <<less

If I get a penny, every time I read a novel with MC named "Kim", who supposedly selfish but ends up sacrificing himself over and... more>> over again, then I would have a dozen. <<less

Mostly just “scum” or “tr*sh” labeled characters doing really good things (especially the self-sacrificing type)... more>>

Or just directly good characters being pure goodness with protective and supportive friends <<less

self-sacrificing & desperate main characters who most definitely have anxiety (aka my fav kind of light novel protagonists)!

I will add small reviews based off my very poor memory in the future.

Heavy yuri, angst, fluff, and OP protagonists. It is mostly tops when it comes to relationship dynamics. 

1-50: pretty much only Yuri 

50-78: mixed bag of fantasy, tragedy, action and some villain MC’s 

78-100: things I didn't sort, am currently reading or just found memorable for various reasons. <<less

 I'm a mentally ill person, and i kinda enjoy reading stories in which the characters are injured, torn, pulverized, bleed, suffocation, have close to death experience (or maybe really die), all kinds of tortures, sacrifices, physical, psychological and emotional damaged , and has a past full of trauma; and they find a family and a home ; Maybe I just enjoy torturin myself, who knows?  Anyway if you're looking for those kind of stories then this list may help:>... more>>

Compilation of Novels with MC that have Self Sacrificing Tendency, one of my most favorite trope.  LOVES it when MC is also an unreliable narrator

feel free to recommend other similar novels as well!  <<less

ah yes, the misunderstandings and cognitive dissonance... more>>

The list is ranked from most like Cale's personality to the least like Cale's personality.

I'll use the following criteria (doesn't have to meet them all):

1. Found Family (FF) = Collects friends and allies like it's the easiest job in the world (BONUS [FF+]: if said friends/allies care about MC so much that they are MC's family truly)

2. Self-Sacrificial (SS) = coughing up blood/dying/getting hurt gang (BONUS [SS+]: if friends/allies heavily disapprove of MC's self-sacrificing habits)

3. Self-Deception (SD) = the Cognitive Dissonance that makes us stan cale (BONUS [SD+]: if MC is an unreliable narrator/undermines themself)

cale: I'm so selfish...i just wanna be lazy and slack off. 

cale: *saves the world*

cale: hold on....where did my slacker life go?! 

4. Slightly Tsundere, but mostly Calm (TC) = in other words, that Warm Heart

5. Strategic Type (ST) = plans out things to better their situation

6. Crazy Bastard (CB) = would do things (BONUS PTS [CB+]: if those "things" benefit others) that only someone with almost no self-preservation would do

7. No romance at all (No Rom) = not looking for no one, just friendships, anything is allowed, as long as it is PLATONIC THROUGHOUT the story

BONUS: Comedy (C), GAP MOE (GP) = yes you don't know how much i love this trope so much, System Administrator (SA) is involved <<less

This one is limited to my favorites. Not all tags apply to each but there are patterns in what i like. If you got something for me write it in the comments. I am always looking for stuff (((o(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)o)))... more>>
