A toika novel XD,Maybe a bit of personal bias mixed in as its the first novel i read as well.... more>>

The plot line is kinda simple with mc being left on earth alone for a 1000years to while other at most spent 5 years in the places they went to train.The things I liked most on this is how the MC goes out of his way to find clinche story troupes and avoid them.The depiction of higher level beings is amazing and so is mc's development route ,although the harem is forced in (as usual with toika) and at the end a certain character is forgiven even though no reader wanted it .

The best part if i had to say is the ending, a proper ending with some proper extra chaps  and no major plot holes left open.After reading so many novels i realized such a good novel with a good ending are extremely rare. <<less

One of the few Korean novels that i feel is a cut above the rest.There is no complex explanations,confusing theories and ideas used.The language of the whole novel itself is simple (in English translation) even slightly kiddish . The plot is straight forward too. What truly gets you is the way the story is created and the characters developed.... more>>

The battle arcs are epic ,both the buildups and the actual fights. MC's ideas and thoughts are simple yet really like able,one thing i am kinda unsatisfied with is the lack of others perspectives which I wanted to see. Some of the messages and ideas they convey through the story are powerfully passed on to the readers.The twists that come later in the novel are definitely ones readers don't see coming and amazingly interweave a huge plotline and interconnection of many pieces .

MC's scams and the way mc's group act in different cases fills up perfect comedy in the novel as well.

What the Japanese shonen novels try to show with all that 'NAKAMAAAAA' ,'Unity' etc. is conveyed here without any of those exaggerations. <<less

ONE LINE TO DEFINE THE STORY: ALL HAIL THE METAL BAT ARU... more>>

A better version of the previous one with some changes and better aspects

The point about the story I like the most is : CHAOS.... PURE and UTTER CHAOS. One of the ultra rare stories where everything is in chaos and ends up building an amazing comedy around it.The story revolves around  the MC( and his partner in crime who am not gonna name) going overboard in teaching who ever he is teaching completely creating pychos. Stockholm's syndrome, PTSD ...etc you name it ,throw every possible mental issue they can face as they survive his teaching hell and become strong with completely broken personalities.

And that's not even the main plotline in yet, the main plot is the classic demon king slaying story's chosen hero happens to be a student trained by him,this student comes back to mc to ask him to teach him to be strong enough to kill said demon king.And MC being aware of what state each of his students are in after his teaching,is always ready to betray and escape at the drop of a hat. <<less

How OP can an OP MC go? This is one such kinda novel.Its a gag story through and through ,the mc is strong to the point that his status always questions his humanity.The mc plays a straight man retorting to to the various situations that keep happening and desperately trying to rationalize that he is still human through total sophistry.... more>>

SPOILERS(practically every line after this is a spoiler)

whenever mc isn't around to retort Al takes over XD.The world itself obeys and tries to set things up in a good way for mc as its scared of him.His parents make you realize he is practically normal in some ways.The best strike is when his  status can't take it anymore and runs away on a journey of training and self improvement. <<less

The unforgettable  harem blackhole who comes to mind when you think of otome novels ,bakarina. The novel itself is silly and pointless.The main point of... more>> the novel is MC's denseness and s*upidity that cross infinity.There will definitely be at least one point of time when you read the novel where you'll bang your head or facepalm at her.Overall from childhood to the end ,she creates a harmonious harem pulling in and connecting everyone  regardless of good,bad ,male or female. <<less

Its a fluffy kinda feel good novel.The ML is an emotionless machine like living THING that is too good at everything and can not find anything interesting at all.Enter the FL who's reincarnated as the villainess and for the sake of ML's happiness declares she'll perfectly play her part.Her s*upidity is as bad as it can get and the screws loose in her head lead her to act as she pleases and doing amazing kinds of random stuff.Overall her actions slowly but surely deal with national problems,remove many hardships and issues her friends face in their lives and eventually (how clinche) turn the ML human.... more>>

oh yeah there's the gag character actual otome game heroine who wishes to forcefully go down the reverse harem route (she gets a bit of redemption at the end ,after all this is a happy-happy feel good novel) <<less

Stop ,before you bash me for it you gotta admit the novel was amazing before the harem ecchi aspect went overboard.Overall if you skip the harem scenes that come later and read only the action bits its still amazingly good.... more>>

I'll say it rn the mc at the start was badass at the start,as one of the earliest in isekai type of 'thrown away hero after summoning ,start as tr*sh and become strong  ' it was really good to read <<less

One of the few Chinese cultivation novels i liked ,i do binge them but this is by far the one i liked most.One of the rare things in this is how well formed the cultivation stages and path is (and comically opposite of its prequel,btw the prequel isn't needed to read this one)... more>>

The initial plotline of the story starts with mc being a cliche stepping stone to a cultivation world protagonist.The mc has the biggest cheat in the novel ,he meets other cheat protagonists who have their own cheats eg, a mysterious ring holding the inheritance of a strong being, a reincarnation of a famous person from the past,a returner on his second life etc.

the next plotline dives more in the normal conventional chinese cultivation novel plotlines. If there is a difference then here the mc is calculating,smart and evaluates his actions well.The FL too is interesting and different from the usual 'save me after being taken away' category . <<less

(Note: TLed chapters are beyond 600+ which are not on NU)... more>>

A DnD style game world with mc having a system.The world and environment itself is cruel and survival of the fittest. The mc as well is equally cold and merciless.

Its amazing how easily characters die in it and how overwhelming the difference between gods and mortals is.Mc works step by step to become stronger,there is no things going perfectly as planned or mc getting clinche stronger randomly. Both mc and his sister vivian/wei wei  have their own unique characters and development. <<less

A novel that has been amazing so far and i have high hopes on,action comedy and fluff but be warned there's a lot of dark past.... more>>

MC is a hella OP character who after many regressions to save the world has slowly lost his emotions and color to his life.The ones he must protect to save the world are 4 baby dragons out to explore the world for a 100years . They're practically fragile glass on a speeding missile ,getting killed / su*cide randomly across mc's iterations.The current iteration decides to make them live as a family to have a happy time in these 100years and to take  care of dangers on his own in the background

The story doesn't follow most clinches there's no sudden changes and everything happens gradually over the course of the novel.All 4 baby dragons have their own interesting and likeable personalities.The mc has a lot of philosophy and knowledge which he slowly gives out.His return to a normal living being is slow and gradual but noticable <<less

A fluffy kinda novel,nothing serious no action no plotline just mc building a small harem and doing whatever he pleases with his op magic... more>>

may be a bit offensive for some ppl as he keeps a beastman as his pet (ik some ppl loathe the idea of a human pet) but nothing bad happens,the mc and most of the main cast are kids and it stays the same till the end of the novel,so strictly NO ECCHI,BLOOD or anything of the kind <<less

Was kinda conflicted whether to add this or not as the story is at its starting.... more>>

The best part of the novel is the MC herself,an extremely rare specimen  who is incredibly talented at digging her own grave.She is literally confirmed to goof up even the simplest situation in such a natural way that it doesn't even seem forced.The second is the original reactions of the leads in the troupe scenes (same troupe scenes,insert wrong characters in the roles)

Although its a romance novel,rn its the starting the interaction between ML and MC is hilarious ,the mc is always doing her best not to get in trouble with him (she really is XD) <<less

(note:steam punk fantasy and first volume of the triology)... more>>

An amazing chutulu based horror novel,the perfection of the novel lies in that creeping eerie atmosphere the world building provides.It takes simple powers that a god could have and shows the most terrifying aspects of it.The fights are intense and quite the battle of wits. One of the best parts in the novel is how the protagonist's skills which are weird,difficult to use and terrifying.The novel is pretty dark if you remove the mc's joking ,fooling and other stuff that are used to lighten it up.

tho its been rushed quite a bit at the end its still good.(edit: later came to know this is when censorship laws had been enacted in CN so a lot was cut out. Even the earlier parts were heavily censored so whoever is reading do search for the uncensored version.  A good way to find it would be checking if old neil's ritual actually scares you or not) <<less

(note: extreme cruelty,ab*se , twisted thinking and tragic reality )... more>>

In one line: A insane psychotic batsh*t crazy monster made out of war is isekai'ed to another world where idiots in power refuse to let it sleep peacefully.

The novel's best and most supreme charm is a mc who is really insane,not just those wannabe ones in other novels but truly and completely crazy war expert.The psychological aspect of this novel truly digs deep and on point which ppl tend to avoid.MC is not op but rather a normal weak body person with the mind of a devil,another aspect is that he completely lacks attachment to life,something which no novel will show better.

And just accept the characters as they are ,they exist to bring out the psychological stuff the author wishes to show. <<less

(Note: more chaps on scribd not on NU)... more>>

If the title didn't convey it, MC is a true madman. This novel perfectly follows show don't tell. Unlike other stories where mc acts crazy on purpose or lacks craziness when unsuitable, MC here never drops his stick.

The most comical part is how he genuinely believes from the bottom of his heart that he is normal and acts reasonably.  He even cultivates a technique that will cause memory issues and thinks it's not a problem.

Be it slaughtering enemies as needed and calling them "white moonlight" due to the benefits they give or actually making a star into a golden core since bigger and stronger the better he actually follows even the most illogical thoughts he has.

The highlight is his 'plans' that are just 'kill xyz in 10 days, become stronger in a few more days and repeat" <<less

One of the few modern stories with no supernatural things that got me loving it. Mc is genuinely batsh*t insane, she genuinely thinks her actions are normal and proper. A few times she get caught doing something wrong she self reflects for 2 lines before continuing her usual antics. Most chaps start with a para describing something very philosophically or detail before making it into a reason for her nonsensical actions.... more>>

Despite this comedy filled story the characters do have certain depth and mc herself struggles with her genderswapped identity to a woman then to being the person called 'Lee yena' (which is rare in any transmigration /gender bend stories).

A bit of knowledge on streaming  and team MOBA games like League or Smite will help understand it better. Tho even without that you can easily tell how wrong her actions are. <<less

(Note: It has an emphasis on Christianity but more on Jesus' direct teaching of 'help thy neighbor' and help those in need rather than the modern proselytism and Church focus.)... more>>

I honestly consider it complete at chapter 120, the next 3 is just author being too cowardly to write a polygamy.

Unlike a lot of stories the MC here is extremely clear about him being a plagiarist and more so amazingly admits it openly to all his readers later. I won't say the story has amazing twists or deep characters instead it's more of a fanfic appreciating various masterpieces of our literary world. A lot of famous incidents and reactions to stories here are recreated faithfully. Eg. The final problem incident or Kafkaesque humor. 

Another great point is the world is completeness of world building. From why he reincarnated to everything existing in the world there's no loopholes. Even things like MC's lack of humanness despite his humanity(This sentence makes more sense when you read it).Finally the thing that sealed the deal for me is how it has feel good and do good for everyone feeling. Mc  genuinely tries his best to make the world a better place without losing focus on his main goal of a literature focused culture. They don't turn away from those in need and lend a hand. A dialogue at the end of the series perfectly sums up this intent:

“Senior, do you know what otakus love most?”

“No idea.”

“Destroying predestined tragedies and fated endings, and succeeding in creating ridiculously happy endings that seem like lies!”

Note: It's greatly enjoyed if you've read the books mentioned in the series. Still fun if you at least know the story of those books and even if you don't know MC provides a general overview of it and it's impacts on the readers. <<less
