I really like stories with multiple POVs from the MC and the side characters. Somehow, I just find it boring to read a story based... more>> only on the MC's POV. We can understand how the world looks from both the MC’s and the side characters' perspectives. We can also see how the side characters think about the MC.Sometimes, they will have funny misunderstandings about the MC or show passionate admiration for them. It just seems interesting to watch the MC's progression from the side characters' POV. Many MCs from this list are OP characters, such as gods or mysterious entities. But many of them are also just normal human beings. The genres of the novels vary. Oh also some of the novel will have only two POVs or more.  <<less

Reading that has a status of ongoing COO

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

No romantic drama, no yaoi, no villainess, no nonsense. Pretty much only action, adventure, and progression fantasy here. <<less

Primarily Career/Shop/Kingdom Development, but there also could be some novels that I like. Most of these novels do not have romance or harem tag as I am not a big fan of these in novels that aren't primarily written as romance.... more>>
