The Greatest Novels of All Time. Supreme. Unquestioned. Divine. 

Novels that will strengthen your Dao Heart. Novels that will enlighten you. Novels that will light your way to godhood!

*Not in order. (For now) <<less

This is a list of books I like

Reincarnation or transmigration into a parallel fantasy world (except some novels), some involving more than one world, (wuxia fantasy world).

Ever since i started reading fictions i have been in an illusion of a human being that is neither in real world nor in fiction. Unfortunetly it seems there is a limit of 100 novels per list so i won't be able to showcase a near fraction of my power. ... more>>

My Rating classifications:

World Building: World building is the most essential part in my opinion for a fiction, this classification will be determined by how vivid the world of fiction is, fiction's own logical foundation and the idea the world is centered around.

Plot: Plot is the grand purpose , the main and minor events that is leading the story to the next phase of it's journey till the end of it.

Characters: A fiction without realistic characters is not sustainable from a readers viewpoint. Characters makes readers to dive deeper to the fictious world.

Writing: Some authors have a talent for writing some don't, some respects the work they do and some don't, some have experience some don't.

Translation: This can be an absolute deal breaker for some mid to adept  ranking novels.
Levels:

Begginer: You will only like the aspect if you are begginer in fictional works.

Mid: Depending on the mood you will like this level.

Adept: You will most likely like this level even if you are an adept reader unless there is a specific no go for you.

Supreme: No matter what, if there is a supreme ranking in any of the classifications, you should read it unless there is something going on with your life. <<less

These are list of novels, i plan to read.... more>>

I will copy paste comment or info that i know about these, so when i come back, i can see that info and then decide which one to read first. These comments and info are not mine.But i will also add info on them, as i read the novels, and may even remove the original comment that i copy pasted, completely, if i started enjoying the novel.

As once i read a book, if i dislike it, i will leave a review directly and if i like it, same i will leave review. But will remove from my, To read List.

I enjoy ruthless mc with less romance/harem. <<less

The list contains the best novels that I read in terms of pleasure, not quality. The novels may be okay, but I prefer them... more>>

After the first place, the order is considered random

I will start documenting my observations about it. They may not be accurate due to the long time that has passed since I read novels years ago. Nevertheless, they serve as a summary of my experience with them. I might attempt to organize them from best to least preferred as well.

Excuse my pickiness 

Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists... more>>

More info on what I am searching: (The title may not be entirely accurate.)

Evil mc ( someone who does not care about other people, and can do anything for his goals )

Ruthless MC ( someone who does not hesitate to kill )

Neutral mc ( Neither a good person, nor a bad person, But cares more about his profits, Rational-Pragmatic type of route )

No Romance ( For this one, I also mean, less romance or none maybe, as well. No romance and no female lead are different. )

No Heroine (I will use this word for those novels where there is no female lead. ) This is a word you find usually in mtl.

Sharing a Discord Invite Code, For Evil MC novels, But only MTL. Discord invite: cjzakPE7Nd

P.S.: My reviews might be rough sometimes, but they're my honest thoughts. I wouldn't share a novel here if I didn't think there was something worthwhile. Use them as a guide and decide for yourself. Treat each novel like a Poison Test. Enjoy your reading!

P.S: I also added some novels which I enjoyed a long time back, Still I will not write in them that this novel is neutral or rational-pragmatic or so on. So if you see a novel without any review, you can expect it to be poison. Ofc poison means, Veterans may not like them. As for newbies, no idea. You gotta try to know. <<less

Just a list to help me keep track of novels I’ve read and have been reading and my thoughts on them (could be really detailed, could be just a sentence, it really just depends). Not in order.... more>>

*Spoiler warning*

What I’ve finished: 17/100 <<less

Honestly, are there any webnovels that are objectively good? ... more>>

Flawless? Without dragging on endlessly, trailing off into a nothing ending or meandering on with a directionless plot? 

I haven't found many and I sure have read a lot.

A lot.

Many that I'm not proud of. The type of novel that if my friends and family found me reading might cause another Isekai.

But also, in the filth and garbage that I often see festering on NU there are plenty of gems to look out for. 

And plenty to avoid.

Keep In mind all these reviews are just my opinions.

Ps. Check the comments for novel recommendations that aren't on NU

PPs: although they are my opinions, you are objectively wrong if you disagree. <<less

That are all novels that I read till the last chapter at that point. The higher ranked the better, at least in my opinion...... more>>

>>> Feel free to recommend me novels in the comment section below, so after I'm back I know what to binge read and give my thoughts on it.... more>>

One of the easiest to tell a novel is a 'Game Elements' is if it has a GAME SYSTEM included - most notable of it being part of the MC. Another one is that the Protagonist got transported INTO a Game World/Fantasy World - most notable are ISEKAI's.

HUGE DISCLAIMER: I only include novels that have Game Elements as mentioned BUT ALSO that I have already read from a quite decent amount of chapters to finished reading. Though do not fret for I would accept and feel feel to recommend novels to me and If possible tell me about it.

NOTES: I have tried my best to rank them based on the depth of the world/lore of the novel and it's writing. Every tier (namely Great -> Amazing -> Excellent) have a sub-tier with 1 (+) being the lowest and (+++) being the highest. I would like to say that it is inevitable that there would be a novel being in the same tier and sub-tier - that you would think isn't even on par in terms of quality. Hence why If you could tell why that specific novel about why it deserves to either to go up or down at the ranking - then I would thank you for your time telling me your point. Novels with no tiers can be only one thing - They could have been good.

PS: I seem to have underestimated the sheer amount of Novels with Game Elements... also I'm not expert in identifying Alignments <<less

Honorable mentions not on the site Birth of the Demonic Sword (8), The beginning after the end (7)... more>>

The ranking order is not entirely accurate <<less

These are novels that i have read and enjoyed, I dont know if you will enjoy them but they are very good in this genre
