Novels I’ve liked

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 (B, A, D) 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 "Ordinary Novels I Enjoyed."

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

Decent novels each with their beauties and defects

Recommendations if you like cliches, overpowered protags, little romance, and mostly good reads!

A short list of novels I clearly remember being a step up. A few of these were game changers and may no longer be in the lead for quality, but they should still be good to know.... more>>

Check the comments for a few titles I couldn't find here.

(Not to scare you purists, but a few of these are Game Elements/System and not VR.
Several of these stories substantially mismatch their chapter count here.) <<less

Imagine a bookshelf filled with tales yet to be told and others that have already left their mark on me—this list captures them all. This list includes novels I’ve devoured and those still awaiting my attention.... more>>

For a long time, I was convinced that only anti-heroes and malevolent main characters could capture my interest. I thought I thrived on the tension they brought, the dance of morality and darkness. But recently, I’ve uncovered a deeper truth: my real issue wasn’t with the nature of these characters, but with the quality of their narrative. Bad writing ruins even the darkest of villains, while a well-crafted character—good or evil—can truly shine. Still, there’s something about a cunning, well-written villain that never fails to captivate me. <<less
