From the most popular to the hidden gems. There's no particular order. Just peak. ... more>>

Focus on novels with truly unique and spectacular protagonists.

I'll update it every time I discover a hidden gem to share.

A word of advice: There's no perfect novel that everyone will love. Read it and judge for yourself. 

This list is a selection of novels that guarantee an amazing level of quality, NOT the typical OP protagonist with a harem of 100 women and brainless secondary characters.  <<less

No description.

my favorites in no particular order. mixed genres because i dont discriminate. and expect a certain level of quality but also remember that this list... more>> is curated based on what *i* enjoy. the criteria is me, myself, and i. do note that comedy is very memorable for me so expect a lot of it regardless of the quality. <<less

My personal list of Fantasy's that are otherwise good but with too many flaws to go into list #2

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 contains completed novels only.Some good novels like House Of Mysteries would not be in the list since I have not finished them.

This contains the bottom of the main list, All Novels I've Read Sorted
By Rating! It was reaching the max limit so I've moved the stories rated
3.7 Stars here.... more>>

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on
novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of
sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by
best/enjoyed the most to least. The ranking within the same number of
stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too
different to compare with each other haha. 

The other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it
can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank. The reason I
want to put my rating and reviews straight in the list is because you
can't search for a specific user's review in the novel page if there are
too many reviews. You will have to search one by one. Its easier to
straight up  see why I put the novel in a particular list plus my review
in the list itself. Sigh, novelupdates is really not user friendly. <<less

Figured I would dump everything I’ve read so I know if I read it and in case anyone has similar tastes to me and would like recommendations. ... more>>

I will add small reviews based off my very poor memory in the future.

Heavy yuri, angst, fluff, and OP protagonists. It is mostly tops when it comes to relationship dynamics. 

1-50: pretty much only Yuri 

50-78: mixed bag of fantasy, tragedy, action and some villain MC’s 

78-100: things I didn't sort, am currently reading or just found memorable for various reasons. <<less
