    Well for Japanese, their titles do all the explaining, but still, which novels do you think here have the best synopsis? Which have the best sales pitch?

    Legendary Moonlight Sculptor's synopsis is pretty good.

    All the novels I read have shitty synopsis... which makes me not want to read at all... I Shall Steal the Heaven for example... I tried to read it at least 3-4 times before actually going through with it. Glad I did xD

    I think probably this one:

    Mercs are causing trouble in my city. They are hunting someone, whatever the cost. It’s not like I care that some lowly humans died, but if I don’t act now it would set a bad example. So what would the hero do? Probably he would save the victims and protect them while the enemies keep coming…

    Yeah, as if I would ever do something so troublesome! They aren’t calling me the demon lord for no reason. I suppose I’ll just shoot the victim and be done with it.

    There's also Everybody Loves Large Chests.

    Large chests are said to encompass all manner of hopes and dreams. Men covet them. Women envy them. But one fact holds true - everyone wants to get their hands on some big ones.

    The same holds true for one intrepid adventurer - a strapping young lad by the name of Himmel. Armed with his grandfather’s trusty longsword and the dream of being the strongest, he sets out on the journey of a lifetime! It is sure to be a long and dangerous road, fraught with danger! And it all starts with a simple test - reach Level 5 in the dungeon called the ‘newbie zone’ and earn the right to become a full-fledged adventurer!

    However, such things get hopelessly derailed when his adolescent mind beholds an exposed chest for the first time. A fateful meeting that would inevitably lead his life in a direction he never even dreamed of!

    The sinopses from from Otherworldly Evil Monarch and MGA really like those arrogant lines.

    I remember a novel about potatoes having a pretty extensive synopsis.

    Will never forgive the author for turning this novel into what it is today.

    Well, I'm not sure which ones are the best, but at least the following two made me want to start reading immediately:

    My Disciple Died Yet Again:

    Look at that, a summary with a plot twist!

    Running Away from the Hero:

    Short but funny.

    Bonus - Invisible Dragon:
    It says everything right there.

    The Legend of Sun Knight
    The synopsis is pretty funny the first time around.
    Gate of Revelation was also pretty interesting.
    We attend school, find love, work, buy a house, pay our housing loans, insert weird faces in WeChat, watch movies… do any of you find anything amiss? One day, a group of strange people entered this world, equipped in strange clothing and possessing extraordinary powers, cold-blooded killers! They call themselves [Players].

    Wait! Wait! You people want to kill me? You say I am NPC (Non Playable Character)? Stop joking around! You crazy bastards! I will fight you to the death! I will survive!

    NPC beating up Players! Original residents beating up Transmigrants!

    My world, my rules! What makes you think you bastards can come over and boss us around?

    Treading the path of the strongest saviour in history, one destined to be filled with excitement!

    …

    Chen Xiaolian: From today onwards, an organization whose sole purpose is to oppose those bastards is established! Our guild shall be named… Player Thwarting Alliance!

    Guild Member: Leader, this name, if we are to say it out, I fear we will be beaten up…
