Definitive Best Novels
Having read many novels over the years, I present to you the best of the best novels. Novels will be ranked by tiers (S > A > B), but even B tier novels are worth a read compared to the countless tr*sh novels out there.
Novels not on this site:
1. Perfect Run (S-tier, protagonist is crazy and the story is tons of fun.)
2. Shadow s*ave (S-tier, quite possibly one of the best novels ever written.)
Do give this list a follow as it will be regularly maintained, and leave a comment if you think I missed out on any novels!

So happy to see Forty Mils of Cultivation get a mention. I’m super sad the translation collapsed at like 2k+ chapters. Was really looking forward to how they wrote the Divinity Branching Stage.
I’d like to recommend:
Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich
Mother of Learning
Absolute regression
The Legend of Sun Knight
Great list. I would add a few novels to the list:
Losing Money to be a Tycoon
Top Management
The Legendary Mechanic
Pet King
SSS-Class su*cide Hunter
