Quality Novels (Min +500 translated chapters)
Rankings are totally random. It's gonna be updated. Min +500 chapters translated (although there will be rare cases of some novels having a little bit less chapters). I've been reading Chinese & Korean novels for 9+ years. If you don't see the chapters don't worry, novelupdates don't upload unofficial or unaffiliated translations. Use novelfull/novelbin or noveltop for full chapters.
Neutral/Antihero male MCs only. No cheap faceslapping and arrogant youngmasters. This is a forbidden territory for IET lovers.. go away. Chinese & Korean novels only. As everyone knows, there are two different perspectives for a review. The true, detailed analysis that is based on the "facts" and the one that is based on personal opinions. The novels on this list, are all selected after detailed analyses, not personal opinions. They all quality works but you might not like them. It depends on your taste. Nothing is perfect.

Evil/Purely benefit oriented MC. Its one of the best cultivation novels. Is it cliche? Kind of. The reason why put this novel on this list is because he doesn't act like a cliche chinese MC. He doesn't give a sh*t and kills people for benefit. He is cold and scheming instead of being shameless and overly "social". If you can skip pass the "cliches" and read for the MC's actions, decisions and personality its worth reading.... more>>

Now, I don't like fast-paced stories. They usually aren't that detailed and "detail" is what makes a novel good quality in my opinion. If there is a story that its potential could be seen in +500 chapters, don't make it shorter then. Unfortunately though, most of the Korean novels aren't like that. This is one of the rare Korean novels that uses its potential fully. It's not the best, but definitely on the top 5 Korean novels list. It has enough details and interactions although it's not as deep as Chinese ones. Writing is pretty good. If we only count Korean novels, it is Top tier.... more>>
