Peak Fiction

Peak Fiction
The best books I have ever stumbled across [in no particular order].
You can comment books you believe are the best you have seen yet (although this is only relative) for others to also read.
The books you should comment should fulfill at least one of these criteria:
— The best of their genre.
— A diamond in the rough.
— So unique that they are a breath of fresh air.
— They are one of the most fascinating read on the internet.

Unfortunately, this list only includes CN, JP, KR that have been translated. Because of this, it won't include other extremely good webnovels that are written outside the three category (CN,JP,KR).

Some books like that are: Chrysalis, Tyranny of Steel and so on. They are worthy of being on this list but they don't fall under the three categories.

Those added to this list or commented must be truly worthy of being called, Peak Fiction.

(I will continue to add more peak Fiction as I find them over the years.)

    Can't believe so many people miss out on reverend insanity, if only i could erase my memory and read it again. 

    Nice list, i love lotm as well, stacking chapters for lotm 2. 

    Mediterranean hegemon of ancient greece is my favourite kingdom building novel.

    My house of horrors is amazing as well. 

    But among all Reverend insanity is the novel that is the best, maybe because its like unrequited love for me as author didn't got to finish the story.

      Still sitting in my library, I hear it went a bit downhill in the later chapters.

      @Excelsior that’s definitely true, but i feel the majority of the novel is really good. you should give it a read, you’ll probably really enjoy it judging from your list

    Peak fiction ain't a term that should exist cause harem is inheritely tr*sh. Not to mention that some of these got crappy het romance shoved in or overdone Grey/black protag.

    The Sage Who Transcended Samsara is good but the translator is bad man
