edit: most of the Korean entries are deadlinks since apparently Korean authors are pretty strict (its a whole thing), so im removing them. probably going to be avoiding Korean novels from now on unfortunately :(

short review based off of what I remember liking and disliking from each novel (some I haven’t read in a while so let’s hope I can grasp coherent thoughts)

each will also have a personal enjoyment and objective score rating at the end.  (rankings are based off a combo of these)

NOTE: I made this on a whim at 1am so I’m prob gonna change around some stuff and I know theres only a few novels here right now but I’m going to be re-reading some stuff I know I enjoyed before adding them here to make sure my opinions make sense. also Otonari No Tenshi is overrated af

why is editing text and sorting the list on mobile SO ANNOYING <<less

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>>

RIP 100+ novelpia series, atleast 2000+ chapters were taken down.

(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

Only criteria for inclusion: I read it for whatever reason.

Also pls remember average score for a novel is 2.5/5. That means that anything above 2.5/5 is above average. Above average is good.
Novels are not in any defined order. I am just placing them as I have added them.
Will add more novels with time          (current : 17/3/25) <<less
