Top cultivation/magic/leveling novel WITH NO HAREM
Top cultivation/magic/leveling novel WITH NO HAREM
My favorite cultivation/magic novels. Most (but not all) have some type of well-written romantic subplot (none of them have those crappy romances frequent in this genre.)
The ones with male MC have no harem.
The ones with female MC are ACTUALLY READABLE (i.e., no toxic male lead + no dumb MCs + the MC doesn't turn into a weakling the moment she meets ML)
There are no evil MCs.
--> there is no specific order in the rankings. But I tried to put some general order as much as possible for the top 25 <--

A very unique novel about a sword MC with his catgirl wielder. They have a very fun father-daughter dynamic. They start out relatively strong but not super strong to the point no one could defeat them. They then spend the whole novel traveling all around the world, fighting monsters, and finding various secrets about the world, making friends, etc. Extremely well-written novel with a very fun and unique plot. Definitely one of my all time favorites. 100% recommended... more>>

Definitely THE MOST underrated novel I've ever read in my life. I have no idea what's going on with the NU ratings and comments of this novel. This is a masterpice. That's all I have to say about it. I know my sh*t with webnovels well enough to know peak when I see it, and this IS peak.... more>>

Amazing novel. Probably the best 'weak t strong' apocalypse novel I've ever read. The MCs have a proper, 2 dimensional personality and the romance is slow-burn and amazing. 1000% recommended.... more>>

This is a semi-sequel for Apocalypse Arrival. You don't need to read Apocalypse Arrival before this because they are not that connected, just know that the starting point of this novel has some connection with the story of Apocalypse Arrival (the story here starts from MC dreaming of a 'parallel world'. That parallel world is the world of Apocalypse Arrival). But there are no further connections or spoilers from Apocalypse Arrival mentioned later.... more>>

My top cultivation novel with a female MC. the story starts with a little girl with a sad life who ACTUALLY DOES NOT HAVE A REINCARNATED/TRANSGIMATED/ETC. SOUL IN HER BODY. For around the first 100 chapters, MC is very weak and the novel shows her struggles and hardships. It is only after this that the main story begins. ... more>>

It might seem like other cliché stories at first (and it does have a lot of clice elements. e.g., FMC who is good at a lot of things). But the more you read it, the more you'll like the story, because it weirdly never gets boring.... more>>
