Novels that I believe are the best or one of the best in their respective genre

My personal list of GOATs, sorted, notably all without romance

no particular order.

My holy grail of novels. La creme de la creme. My top 30 novels in term of enjoyment not writing. A lot of these will... more>> be hard carried by nostalgia. A minimum of 8.0 on a personal enjoyment scale to be on the list. <<less

List is for overpowered protagonists, typically from the start of the novel. 

I’m someone who dislikes romance and harem—it's not because I'm forever single xD, but because WOMEN ARE SO DAMN HARD TO KILL!!! OMG come on....!!!... more>>

I know this clashes with reality since most readers love female characters, but that’s exactly why I avoid romance. At
the very least, if killing women is too difficult, then keep them far away from the MC!

That’s why this list only includes manhwa/manhua with ZERO romance by the final chapter. How do I know? By using AI, of course :V—you think I’ve got no life to read every novel? :V The criteria? The criteria? CHECK AROUND THE NOVEL'S ENDING CHAPTERS!. Why? Because if there’s a girl close to the MC (romance), IT SHOULD SHOW UP BY THE
END RIGHT ??!!!! DUH :))))))**

If not, are women really this lowly :( ? Why do so many of them always
need to be saved or helped?, etc. :(

Zero romance = no wives, no marriage, MC has zero interest in anyone. List may not be perfect, but close enough!

OH AND LET'S DO MANHWA FIRST IN THIS LIST, MANHUA CAN COME LATER :) Because at least manhwa somewhat respects female characters, unlike manhua :)

AND I'M ALSO OPEN TO CRITICISM OR COMMENTS ABOUT THIS LIST, OKAY :) <<less

I will list manhwa manga that is not romance or harem, if there is a possibility of it being romance I will delete it!Sorry, I will review with my bad English

Not great, but not a complete waste of time either. This is the absolute lowest bar for a novel to still be considered worth reading.... more>>

I usually dropped novels on this list for various reasons—be it the story, characters, or glaring plot holes—but I still consider giving them a second chance.

Order is random. <<less

no comment

Novels where the main character hides their real personality, and/or their real personality is misunderstood somehow! Comedic undertone, rife with other misunderstandings too. (The scope of this list is a little broad.) No particular order!... more>>

Please drop recs in comments if you have any :) <<less

Various series I've read or am reading and would recommend to others. 
Bias towards likable well-written main characters, assertive/charismatic male protagonists, harems especially with polygamy.... more>>

Ignore the order, not going to sort them.

Series not on Novel Updates;
- Sasaki to Pii-chan; Fun. A clusterf*ck of cliches and genres (aliens, demons, magical girls, espers, isekai, monsters, secret organizations), similar to 'A Certain Magical Index'. Technically a harem, but sadly unlikely to ever have any romance (Protagonist treats them like daughters).

- Otherside Picnic; It's 'Roadside Picnic'/'STALKER' with a side of yuri. The main characters venture into another world full dangerous supernatural anomalies, searching for a missing person and to make some cash by selling supernatural artifacts. The main characters are well written and there's slow yuri romance. Also has manga adaptation
