    Mushoku Tensei, what got me into this whole novels thing in the first place. Although the writing may not be the best, it is completed and the character development is something to read for.

    HighSchool DxD, another one that got me into the whole novels thing. One might think that it's just ecchi, and yes there are a lot, and it may be just another power trip novel, but it was an enjoyable read.... For the most part.

    No the title of the show was "Eternity". I remember it airing around the same time as a Korean/Chinese/Japanese show called "Westside Story", which was about some guys in bikes and skateboards doing some tricks and shit.

    The Legend of Sun Knight
    Fate/Zero
    Mushoku Tensei (WN)
    Those are the three completed novels I can personally recommend. Coiling Dragon is also good and might be worth reading but not sure...

    Sadly no completely translated Korean ones I have read and can recommend yet, will be multiple ones once the translations finish.

    Stellar transformation and douluo Dalu were the two main novels that I started off with. From there I got into other novels. And I checked out IET's and TJSS's other novels and started reading them too~

    Mushoku Tensei (Reincarnation) - Well, I have to say it is a really good overall novel to read with good pacing. On top of that, the translation is completed and it is a very good example of harems done perfectly.

    Shieldbro (Isekai) - A good introduction to isekai novels with game elements.

    Toaru Majutsu no Index - It's a good read, and is a different kind of JP novel from the ones a lot of people read.

    Death March - Although it is another isekai novel, it goes off in a completely different direction with it being a slice of life comedy novel and all.

    Overlord - Err... duh, it's Overlord.

    Dungeon Defense
    -If you're into psychological and dark theme that has no over exaggerating talks which conveys too much gore(but will still show some gore in the end)
    -more into an adult thinking ways.
    Volume one is good and easy to understand cuz it's funny talk about the MC's family

    I would argue that To Be a Virtuous Wife is not for newbies to the CN romance historical genre. It uses quite a bit of pinyin, terminology, and just general customs that would be best picked up by reading others in the genre first, perhaps the Mistaken Marriage Match series, I'm not sure. But I would not consider To Be a Virtuous Wife or World of Cultivation to be novels for newbies (despite being truly excellent).

    The Legendary Master's Wife could probably serve as an introduction to yaoi themed novels as isn't solely focused on the smut even if it is present.
    Probably one of the better xuanhuans I've read so far too...
