Gold Among Copper

Not Reliable, I don't know why I made this

Long story short, these are some underrated or hard-to-find novels I've read that you might find really interesting. Most is in the "Action" genre. Most of the novels here are from (2018-present)

These are some novels that stands out as exceptional and rare among more ordinary, less impressive ones. It highlights how one great story can shine brightly in a sea of mediocrity.

PS. I know you're wondering why there's quite a bit of "popular" LN in this list, the answer is that these series aren't really that popular in NU, if that makes sense, idk myself.

Check out @cbboss list "Peak Hidden Gems", he has better list than this one. This list only include the novels I've read.

Some RoyalRoad novels :

•Terminate The Other World! (Book 1-4 is great)

•Mother of Learning (This is so damn peak)

Honorable mention :
[Mesgaki Tanker Doesn't Get Properly Educated] or [메스가키탱커 신표지]

It's in the academy genre and is quite cliché but the writing is peak and the execution is very good

  Honorable Mention :
  [Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table] or [死亡遊戯で飯を食う。]
  It's featured in Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! 2024, I saw this around half a year ago, pretty good, the illustrations are just peak, also character designs looks dope, quite brutal as well, like really REALLY BRUTAL.It's not gory though.
  
  Currently V1 has been officially released by Yen Press, and it's the only translated volume so far. There is currently 6 volumes by the time I'm writing this. Good stuff, I recommend giving it a try, I'm a sucker for this type of novels.

I'm not a big fan of Wuxia, Xianxia, or Xuanhuan so this list will probably have minimal CN novels

My lad, I definitely recommend "Genius Warlock" if you havent tried that and "The Hardcore Tyrant Raises the Favourability Too Much" seems certainly promising from the first few chaps I read. There's also Memoirs of the Returnee. Dungeon Defense is nice too, if you can get past the chaps of MC trolling even the audience
