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.

      Not yet! But seeing you recommend it and looking at the authors, I'll start reading it. Currently, I'm reading My Longevity Simulation.

    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

      Yeah, i think my rating is highly influence based on my experience at that time. Let's say for example if ISSTH was to be released now, it would be a generic novel.

    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?

    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 clear.png

    Your raring is pretty decent 

    and your taste is pretty good 1f44c.svg

    Btw have you not read Renegade Immortal from Er Gen(even tho romance sucks, very profound and peaceful at times especially the in-between "mortal" arc hands down best profound arcs i've ever read in any novel, so unique nothing similar to it in all other novels.. even tho Romance sucks, MC not memorable in his character says new recent readers and first 200 chapters are slow and looking typical-like, Renegade Immortal totally stands out after, it is a great ride, give it a try or a second try if you already did or had a prejudice )

    Transcending the nine Heavens (first half is way better than later parts tho, still the pretty clever characters, the political plotting, and the profound quotes, they are totally worth it, one of the best experiences)

    tr*sh of the Count's Family: read this Kr novel last year till aroumd chap200~ when i catched up at the time, it was a pretty decent one Transmigration isekai from what i've seen in those 200 chapters, i really enjoyed it but it was still not at the level of my top of the top.. 

     I stopped reading it for more than 1 year untill getting back to it last month after catching up to the Second coming of Gluttony, i had not much to do so i said yeah i'll burn some free time reading this now meanwhile it stacks some chapters , i had some hesitation before deciding to getting back into it, coz i forgot many of the plot's details after that and as ot may happened to you before, sometimes we tend to forget how much we enjoyed a decent read in the past, for some reason i felt like it was just a substitute/nearly as good as SCOG

    But dude how i was wrong! After quickly rereading most relevant old chapters, i continued it and now i'm at chap510, while latest chap is 537 

    I've been stuck at 510 since weeks now actually, guess what? I hate the fact that i'm so close to catching up so much that i postponed it even now Lmao 1f602.svg

    It was this good of a read :') 

    Those chapters 300s and 400s had so many twists and turns and the novel plot is quite consistent in details and logic never contradicts itself 

    It's rare to find a story that not only not lose its quality at the start, but even get better and better continuously far more exciting and moving than what i ever expected at first

    I'm praising it as much coz it's still fresh in my mind

    Hmm btw also have you read Zhu Xian? I'm intending to start it soon

      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.
