Excellent Novels (10+ years of reading)
Excellent Novels (10+ years of reading)
I've been faithfully reading webnovels (Chinese, Korean, and English) for 10+ years. The list is based on my taste mainly neutral evil to neutral good personality MC and decently paced novel with less fillers than the standard webnovel. Most of these novels are written by well-experienced authors.
"Well-experienced" meaning he/she has written over 2000+ chapters of webnovel before the novel was created!
I don't like romance, especially harem in my action/adventure novels but I make an exception if the novel is really good.
Starting from tier Decent-, they are not in order because these novels are just "decent enough" to kill your time.
I would not recommend rank 1-10 if you are a newbie reader because it's gonna spike up your standards in webnovels.
If you think that the novel is worthy enough to be put in this list, then comment below. I'll check whether I've read it or not.

My house of horrors? Martial arts master?
Well if you havent read them try them absolute gem.
I think Overgeared is better than
The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor
It's a Classic yeah but i can't see it as Excellent now
it's undoubtedly a Pioneer of the genre tho
I see that you read TCF oho
Did you catch up with the latest chapter yet?
Hmm btw i'm hesitant about starting
Lord Xue Ying
Coz there is a saying that every new IET book is the same as its predecessor but plainer!
I already read the Coiling Dragon and Desolate Era
It was boring at times but i really liked the imagination ideas of the enlightenment system there!
But if i read a super duplication of it againt probably i won't appreciate it hmm
What do you think bro how is it compared to it?
i have read Desolate era but not read CD so i was having same question as you ??
IF u have read LXY now what do u think ???
Should i read it ??
Very interesting list of novels. I have the same tastes as you in novels and MC character and agree with most of your ratings of novels (of which I've read at least) though I think 'A will eternal' was boring and barely decent in my opinion. I have also read many reviews of 'Lord of the mysteries' so I've been saving it up for sometime later, as they say 'save best for last'.
Some novels that should fit this list :
1. Overlord (excellent; many characters with their own well defined personalities, and funny scenarios and occasionally gory plot twists)
2. Solo leveling (excellent; lone wolf kinda MC with great character and no clingy females, amazing story unraveling with interesting plot)
3. Stop, friendly fire!! (Excellent; very pragmatic MC with an innate will to improve and get stronger and decent story. This novel is excellent (imo) because of its MC and funny movie references)
Have a great read
Wow, first of all, thanks for the response.
I have read Renegade Immortal and Transcending the Nine Heavens but it was still ongoing back then and they release like 3-7chapters per week. Just like you've experienced I just forgot about it entirely and too tired to read the book from the start again but I'll definitely try them out now because I got so much free time due to the pandemic.
I'll try tr*sh of the Count's Family again and see if it manages to catch my attention.
I haven't read Zhu Xian. I've noticed that the reviews in the novel seem good. It also has been adapted to a game. I think it would be a good novel. I'll definitely try it.
