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

Male MC KR novels, I'm here for the fun, the thrill, and for the MC's awesome plot story. Romance? Not a clue! Harem? GET OUT... more>> OF HERE!!! <<less

◼ The MCs are aware/noticed/remembers that the world they live in is fictional; either it'd be a comic, game, novel, or a show. Along the lines of interacting with the real world—like knowing the comments from the readers, forums and comics updating.... more>>

◼ Now, I really don't know what this genre is usually called becuz in jjwxc it's called Forum, but in some of the novels I added here had a little bit of infinite flow, isekai, hunter verse. But I guess majority of it is META where they can 'see' and know about the world they live in and get to have knowledge while they're at it. There's more on jjwxc but most of it are vip chapters. 

Anyways, if you guys have any suggestions or recommendations, be sure to comment down since I wanted to more of it!! <<less

My all time favorites!!

From romance to mystery to comedy to horror, this list contains my favorites. 

I get bored easily so it’s pretty rare for me to finish reading something.

Misc.

Light Novel: 

S++  That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. (I read the entire light novel and finished it multiple times. Ugh the battles still give me chills. I read that ages ago but there hasn’t been a novel that I reread THAT much.)

WEBTOON: 

S    Noblese (Can’t exactly remember the plot but I remember how fond of it I was. And I completed it, and how many hundreds of webtoons have I left incomplete? That’s not an exaggeration. Don’t underestimate how fickle I am and how easily I get bored. I don’t even know why I drop things sometimes.)

S   True Blood (The ending was a bit optimistic for the overall mood but hey I was a bit satisfied with it.) <<less

Mix of everything i have found good, no romance cause that sh*t sucks

If anyone knows anything similar to these please let me know! <<less

No romance or harem 

This is a collection of underrated/lesser-known novels that shine with solid writing and captivating stories. They may not be very popular, but they’ve got that special something that makes them worth your time. If you’re tired of the same overhyped novels and want to discover hidden treasures, this list is for you. (I might make a part 2 or something, idk)... more>>

(Mostly action novels) (2020-2025)

Personally, this is very subjective (I don't judge a novel by it's translation quality)

Honorable Mentions :

• Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table (JP) - Honestly, pretty decent. It's a survival game focused story where the FL repeatedly challenge it to complete an unachievable milestone of beating it 100 times, without dying of course. It's non-linear story.

• A Story About Becoming A Really Cheerful Girl (JP) - If you want to see a protagonist endure SUFFERING, this one is for you. Caution : it's really messed up (Search for KatTL, they are TL'ing it, not sure why they didn't make an NU page for it tho)

• Terminate The Other World! (RR) - Book 1-4 is pretty good. A female cyborg getting isekai'd—she's originally from a superhero world—then gradually regaining emotions after being treated as a killing machine. It's progressive fantasy btw.

• Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act (Scribblehub) - One of the best 'simulations' novels I've read <<less

Past 30 will be novels of all genres that I enjoy.
