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 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.
