Modern day setting

Regardless of the type of novel, the novels here focus FOCUS various sports. From High-schoolers, College Students, Aspiring Professional & Reborn people with cheat codes. No E-sports here sorry!Top 1 - 5 is ranked according to my own favorites! The rest are divided by where the novel was published and if it was BL... more>>

The genre will be mixed, expect some both Yaoi & Yuri pairing here asides from the usual BG romance.  <<less

This is to help my s*upid brain never regress further due to being addicted in reading novels with lack of common sense and questionable plot holes. And to also prevent myself from always having to lower my standard to the point of being brain dead.... more>>

Most often no romance but with male protagonist. As much as I always read everyday, only some stories really piqued my interest. So here's my list of unforgettable novels I've read here.

Just to mention, I won't add some KR dungeon tropes and CN wuxias, xuanhuans, xianxias since I find it more generic and full of plot holes (and armors). (+I added good ones if it’s worth putting it here)

I've been an avid NU reader since 2018? Yet this is my first time setting an account because I really want to create this list for my fellow comrades.

Ah, please do not hesitate for some recommendations I forgot to add!

SPECIAL MENTIONS: 

• Mother of Learning

• Author's POV (shallow romantic subplot)

• I Became The Pope, Now What?

• Shadow s*ave (shallow romantic subplot) <<less

Not in any order 

Here in this list, you will find my pick of KR, CN & JP novels of various genres with male protagonists. No BL, though. ... more>>

Novels with less than 10 chapters are those I found promising. The list is in no particular order. <<less

[Ranked based on Number of Readers] Included Tags: Royalty/Historical/Adventure/Fantasy

My favorite interesting novel apart from love-related novels as main points, there other theme like war, hero etc (I'll put system-related novels here as well)... more>>

If you want to find other novel besides this category, there are another recommend list : BL or BG novel. (I even made list about father mission novels hahahah) <<less

Non-e-sports, non-yaoi, just male protagonists who live and breathe in their chosen sport to be The Champion. Please add in comment if there's similar sport... more>> novels recently translated. <<less

Primarily Career/Shop/Kingdom Development, but there also could be some novels that I like. Most of these novels do not have romance or harem tag as I am not a big fan of these in novels that aren't primarily written as romance.... more>>

There are so many amazing works that feature regressed MCs that are going through a second chance in management, corporate ladders, sports, cooking, etc. Definitely stronger list than the second chance in fantasy. Wanted to make a list that specifically targets this genre.... more>>

First, some of the best that aren't on NU:
1. Trailer tr*sh - wonderful depiction of a second chance high school life with strongly developed characters
2. Metaworld chronicles - only barely qualifies because it's really a fantasy world, but it's an alternate modern day Earth, with great detail and development of cultures and places and set in a modern society, if magic based
3. Let me make you a star - [have not yet read] but has good ratings, comment if you've had a chance to read it!

In addition, there are a number of great drama/TV shows (JP, CN and KR) of second chances that I highly recommend if you like this genre. I've added them in a comment below the list.

If you enjoy second chances, you can also try my other lists on:
- Second chances in fantasy (https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/10749/)
- Time loops (includes movies and webnovels not on NU - https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/10681/) <<less

These novels don't have too much excitement, but they are fun in their own ways. ... more>>

Note: a lot will have some fantasy elements (being reborn, getting second chances or having systems). 

Note 2: the list is in no particular order.

Note 3: I only add novels that I personally read and enjoyed. If there are sugestions for more novels, do remind me in the comment section. Each novel has to have at least enough chapters to be able to enjoy reading it for one evening. <<less

Mostly action a lot of game elements just stuff I would recommend kinda ordered (will have to put more thought and wait till some have... more>> more chapters) <<less
