These novels have or had potential. It's up to you if the completed ones live up to that potential, but let's study the ongoing novels thoroughly before coming to a conclusion. To read or not to read, that is the question.... more>>

*Listed vaguely from High Potential to Low Potential <<less

This is a list of various novels that I believe should be read by others looking for good works or something new. I have personally read all of them to great extents.... more>>

I will introduce novels with what I thought of it along with info that can easily be found in early chapters. I will give a short summary and will clarify if it is a novel I haven't read as much or have rough memory of. I will also record my highest chapter and how many attempts it took to get there (I like to re-read stories when I forget them).

All novels in this list are based on my tastes. What I typically enjoy is more story/world oriented novels or stories that offer a fun/interesting gimmick that I usually don't see. I enjoy some well-developed world building and development of settings and gimmicks rather than specific moments. I tend to avoid romance, but that doesn't mean I will exclude it. I also don't mind the occasional (A, B, C) tier junk novels and a few will make into this list.

If you want to check out some other novels I liked, check out my other list "Novels I Enjoyed."

I have found all these novels while scraping the site and a few others for a few years. <<less

By Novel Updates rating

This recommendation list will be a list of novels based off my opinion on how much I enioy them, my preferences being particularly obvious within my list.... more>>

(For example, most novels I post will be above 4 stars or have romance elements and I usually avoid harem as well)

Many of these are gems, and if you came looking for something new to read I hope you find something.

1-30 will be romance (mostly rom-com) focused
Past 30 will be novels of all genres that I enjoy.

Honorable Mentions (Rom-Coms): The classmate who is adored by everyone smiles teasingly only at me (NU), The top idol next door can't help but crave my guilty pleasure meals (NU), The goddess needs a break! (Scribblehub), Lazing about in a dating sim (scribblehub)

Honorable Mentions: The Author's POV, Mother of Learning, The Perfect Run, Supremacy Games, Paranoid Mage (Might be a book now), Sylver Seeker, Never Die Twice, Vainqueur the Dragon, Beware of the Chicken, Rock falls, everyone dies.

- Many of these are located on Royal Road. <<less

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

Only Korean and Chinese Novels... more>>

These are the novels I have selected from all the top novels and still neglected some. This list may or may not be like by most but this is my entire reading history of novels.

Here there is no specific genre but I like beast taming and transmigration but this list will be full mixed where good and bad are all there and the books will be from all over.

I haven't read all the books completely there are still some books I have just set it aside so there may be books which are sub par but these are the books I have read so I added here. <<less

"Books I Liked or At Least Managed to Finish

May contain various genres but it will focus on korean novels(I made this list on a whim, will edit it properly when I'm free)

All of the descriptions are allegedly, I haven't read most of them. Mainly focused on completed novels. Only male protagonist. I hate anti-hero or Villain protagonist novels that have no morals so none of them will be in this list! If you have any other recommendations please comment them!... more>>

Novels from other websites:

Worm - Interesting dark fantasy superpower.

One Piece: Reborn as Enel - Hype transmigrates as a character with an amazing devil fruit in One Piece.

The Runesmith - Man with technological knowledge isekais into a fantasy world as the 4th son of a noble family. Cool sounding western written isekai

World Keeper - Isekais as the manager of a world, kingdom-building sounds cool.

Tree of Aeon - Really good kingdom city building western novel, being made into a book.

Life Hunter - Overpowered protagonist isekaied, seems interesting but the accelerated progression tag is worrying.

Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard - Isekai into Harry Potter world, realises that other media must also exist. Wish fulfillment going into the world of various media worlds. Harem story. Could be good, or not.

Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor - Sounds interesting, non-cliche Xianxia progression novel. <<less

Continuation of general things I've read. Again, no particular order.
