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 (A, B, C) 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 "Novels I Enjoyed."

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

mystery, fantasy, supranatural, god/evil god/religion/organization, Lovecraftian horror, etc and mostly with a good world building that caught my attention.

Completed novel that I drop, but for only simple reason. You can try and see if it fit your taste. 

I put what I like and the reason I drop it

Sort by rating, 4.4 to 3.2

Not in NU:
Author's POV - Propably should give it a try. The theme is close to novel's extra but the plot isn't . Reason drop: The novel pace is mix between fast and slow. <<less

These are all novels that I enjoy, some of them may not suit your taste.... more>>

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>>
