    I do not think there is any novel which is a definite "must not read".

    There are plenty of genres and novels I dislike, but that doesn't mean they are bad, just that they don't please me, it would be preposterous for me to try and judge which novel is so terrible that nobody should read.

    Huh. Reading Invisible Dragon is actually an interesting experience. It reveals to you your mind's ability to:
    - comprehend bad grammar
    - fill in the blanks with the flimsiest of descriptions
    - feel satisfaction at the slightest of things (finally, 'continue' is spelled correctly! Let's celebrate)

    The only side-effect is brain cancer.

    I remember your review about ID. It's what made me decide to read it in future.

    I love my brain cells though, so maybe when I'm truly depressed and need that final push to go kill myself.

    Reincarnator is something to stay away from if you don't like poor grammar and boring plot. Although it starts pretty strong and is kind of legible the plot gets boring fast, the grammar does improve somewhat though.

    Must not read novels are harder to define as it is largely influenced by your personal likes and dislikes. For instance, I am the biggest hater of Kyuuketsu Hime (because I think volume 2 was the worst thing I have read) and would put it immediately into any list of "avoid this" easily, but many people disagree and say it's a good read. I do not understand why they think it is, but they do.
    Personally, I avoid tragedy stories. I rarely enjoy them - especially when it is something easily avoidable or could have been fixed by wasn't because stupidity is a thing.

    IET novels, "I comprehended Dao of water, now i can do 20% more DPS with my water sword, im now "Enlightened" being." - fuck this shit.
    And i won't ever forgive that asshole plot move that i witnessed in every of his novel when MC just goes full yolo against antagonist(/s) and his family/sex doll suffer as a result, with DE being on peak of this shit pile where MC has multiple ways to both take fortress and warm bed for general, yet plays Japanese-slice-of-life-MC/Dumb with us.

    Any work that's unfinished I think. Didn't the author of HTL drop his novel? I feel like same goes for TDG almost. The author is giving all his readers hives.

    I have the same opinion as Fairy-chan.
    To add to that, I think that even bad novels can have one or two good points that could make it worth a read for some people.

    I agree to that, there are some people in this site that genuinely like Invisible Dragon after all, so even the worst works out there have some value.
