5* Novels

5* Novels
Novels that are enjoyable and hold their own, at least for the most part. I try to avoid putting novels that are overly nationalistic or misogynistic here too,  (those are my main two pet peeves in novels that I see all the time) although there are a few exceptions. 

Ordered in what I enjoyed the most

Edit: The tags do not represent all of the novels, although I think they apply to a good number

There isn't any super complicated plots, amazing big brain turnarounds with impeccable strategy, or even deep romances; just pure action and fighting. The plot supports it as well, so it doesn't feel overly forced. As you can imagine with this kind of novel, you'll either like it right off the bat or hate it, it should be clear in the first 5 to 10 chapters.... more>>

Err... probably doesn’t deserve to be on this list. But it kept me occupied enough that I actually hit 1000 chapters reading this (yup, there’s way more than the 28 listed) so I felt maybe I should slip it in at the end? Maybe no one would notice? ... more>>
