    I was reading some light novels separately, and one time I was googling some Jap LN, this was the first website that popped up. I didn't use it immediately cause I was still on manga/manhwa/manhua and I don't read a lot of novels, but NU definitely got me to start the path of the novel. It's all good from then~

    My Journey to Novel Updates...
    I was reading manga/manwha/manhua on mangafox and I reached the end of the chapter, through the comments at the bottom of the page I learned about light novels which the visual novel was based from.

    I then found a link to Baka-tsuki with a list of light novels.
    From there my addiction began, as I started reading many of the recommended stories and translated works in progress.
    Sadly when projects were being dropped from Baka-tsuki, my craving took me to Bato.to forums and I chased that rabbit to LightNovels subreddit. And for a long while I usually went for my updates there.

    But Good things don't always last as, a change of opinion modified what the subreddit promoted. So I followed the road to Novel Translations Subreddit and I forgot which light novel had the Novel Updates link (Maybe Tales of Demons & Gods), but after clicking that link It brought me Nirvana(Novel Updates ~Taa daa).

    I don't know why it took me months to get here, when a simple Google search would have been easy. But I enjoyed the journey to this awesome place. I'd say I was reading LN for about a year before coming here.

    A certain netizen replied on my comment and suggest me to create NU reading list.
    I sometimes visited NU in the past, and after reading that comment I was like "WHAT?! NU HAS READING LIST?!?!"

    Found aho-updates, liked it for the novel updates, thought if there was an even better site. I then literally typed Novel updates, found this site, and then everything was alright in the world.

    First boredom then goes to manga fox then found TDG then chapters felt to short then searched for the novel foundd wuxia world then bingi red all the novels there then I found translation nations after that gravity tales then I accidentally found NU but shrugged it. Then when the tabs jus to check for updates stock upto 10 sites it felt a bummer. Can you even imagine opening that many tab every time I finish reading an update or every 5 minutes.

    Then I googled NU after a month I discovered you can make your own reading list *$%.

    I cussed for my laziness ignoring unpopular sites :(
