Worth a Read (hidden gems)

4/5 star webnovels that are worth the read. Books I've really liked and bring something unique. I like more slow paced, 'rational' books. No braindead books. No common Martial Memes tropes. List is generally grouped by the one I most recently read first. I recommend once you are done with released translations to continue with AI translations. I'm not going to list 'well known books' like LoTM/Release the Witch/ISSTH/A Will Eternal.
