This is a collection of Novels I have read that truly stands out among the floating pile of garbage on the internet. Quality may vary... more>> from novel to novel and enjoyment is up to taste but no matter the novel here, I always thought to myself while reading, I am reading something worth my time.  <<less

[Apocalypse] + [Management]. No shounen harems, very few BL, a mix of male and female MCs. Some have romance, some don't. Focus is on resource/business... more>> management and infrastructure building in apocalyptic settings. Call me an idealist, but I love stories where MCs do logistics stuff to pull everyone else up with them. <<less

No description.

ie no BL... more>>

male mc only, all qidian novels

I would appreciate further recommendations <<less

Novels I have read to the end

Personal favorites that i think are well crafted from beginning to end.

This list is a large part of who I am. ... more>>

Every read here is peak in some way, be world-building, concept, characters, power systems, and more. For instance, if it is garbage and completely braindead overpowered, it is one of the best in the genre at being so (you need some diversity in life in order for you to not get bored and feel apathetic about reading...it's terrible).

Take some ratings (especially outside the top 10-15) with a grain of salt, because it is hard to justify which one is better for the most part especially because some of the genres are so different. Some stories are not on novelupdates, like Mother of Learning and The Perfect Run to name a few. Also I'm lazy so it's not ordered the best lol

It's been almost a decade since I've started reading webnovels and I decided to make a novel updates account...I also love how every single translation site in existence is js disappearing :( <<less

This isn’t a ranked, just a list of novels I personally like. Whether they’re good or bad depends on your own taste. They’re all either Korean or Chinese, and most of them don’t include romance. ... more>>

࣪ ִֶָ☾.Respecting other people’s opinions is important, so please keep things kind when commenting. And if you have any novel recommendations of your own, feel free to share! <<less

No ranking, No romance or romance is an extremely minor subplot

okay making this list destroyed me internally but I had to pick some out—and I indeed have some biases due to time commitments made, but regardless, if you couldn’t tell I love BL, but I also love a good villainess novel, as well as a fantasy-action novel as well, etc.... more>>

honestly I am not very picky at all, in retrospect, so just take this list as it is most likely if you are a NU native you’ll know these, but if not, I truly hope you give some of these a shot <<less

Tags are not related to all novels but more like this genre of novels are in list

Stuff worth giving a try. Browse through it and you might find something to read. They're not in any particular order or ranking. Some of... more>> the Korean stories have manhwa which you can give a try before reading the novel <<less

Pt.3 because the first list ran out of space. I hate reading an amazing story and then finding out right when it's getting good that... more>> I have to wait weeks, months, or even years to get access to what happens next... So I made a list of novels with high ratings that have a guaranteed ending I don't have to wait on! Anything interesting to me that's marked as completed or has only a few ch to go before being completed. I might eventually copy paste descriptions to make it easier to see what each one is about but rn I'm just sorting em. Theme is misc although I do lean towards romance and fantasy ^^  <<less

Tag:... more>>

Horror, Supernatural, Mystery. <<less

Until the end this time…

From the most popular to the hidden gems. There's no particular order. Just peak. ... more>>

Focus on novels where nothing is what it seems with truly unique and spectacular protagonists.

I'll update it every time I discover a hidden gem to share.

A word of advice: There's no perfect novel that everyone will love. Read it and judge for yourself. 

This list is a selection of novels that guarantee an amazing level of quality, NOT the typical OP protagonist with a harem of 100 women and brainless secondary characters. 

Peak novels that are not in novel updates: Shadow s*ave                                                    The Warrior's Ballad <<less

whenever I want to dive into a wonderful world of white light and words... more>>

ALSO here’s some novels not on NU 

-the perfect run ; shadow s*ave ; mother of learning; the authors pov  <<less

Who knows, maybe i will change my mind someday.

A personal list of novels I’ve read or am currently reading and liked. No particular order.
