    Hi all,
    I think the must read novel is Dragon-Marked War God
    Because it is on the run with 5 regular chapters per week. The best part of it is there will be two chapters bonus for this coming two weeks. Every enthusiastic readers are welcome to enjoy the novel and relax your mind. Action-packed, jokes and many more...
    Below is the novel site you can go to.

    I suggest "Praise The Orc", a Korean webnovel.

    In this novel the main character is an interesting ex soldier. While I heard one or two people calling him weak or annoying, in a way they have a point, he isn't someone who rapes innocent girls. He is rightous and manly. I love this character.

    The side characters are criticized to be bland as I have read in a review. Maybe yes, but I find them manly and funny. The humor is light. Blood flows and the scenery is descripted very vividly and beautifully.

    I don't know why, but I love the 135 chapters so far. Bul'tar!

    Within 135 chapters I can at least point out 5 major or minor arcs. It focuses on the ingame events but doesn't neglect the real life of the protagonist. Additionally little beautiful short stories are included.(what I mean is for example the rehabilitation of thugs, I felt like it was perfect)

    The author uses quotes from other novels and other languages which is interesting. The story feels fast paced and well developed

    Also, the author uses a way of narration that makes some moments mysterious. In the beginning for example a orc talks with somebody and the reader has no clue what's going on only to find the truth out later.

    Such mysteries keep the reading experience exciting and refreshing. It makes you want to pay attention to all the little details. And when you in the end find out why the characters did what they did, it is so rewarding

    Two English novel recommendations here, which are a good starting point because they're WNs while still being fluent and written in the native language:

    The Wandering Inn - an isekai story (but more like being summoned from another world rather than being reincarnated) about a young woman, an inn, and a world fuil of levels. LitRPG elements, duh. Decently lengthy chapters and updates twice a week.

    Mother of Learning - a high fantasy story about a young man who mysteriously gains the power to live through the same month of his life over and over again. Groundhogs Day in a fantasy world. Magic elements, very plot-heavy. Long chapters, but it only updates once a month...

    Don't know if anyone will see this, but still:
    To Be A Virtuous Wife is a good introductory c-novel. Although there isn't a ton of character development, it is a good introduction to Ancient China, especially with all of the footnotes and supplements by the translator. If you're don't like reading dialogue that always has hidden meanings behind it, the scheming in this novel is relatively light compared to others. There are a few "adult" scenes, though.
    If that's too adult, then A Smile Is Very Alluring is a good modern c-novel: very sweet but still with some plot development, with game-elements as well. How the game chats work might be slightly confusing, but even that should not be too much of a deterrent.
    Also, I'm surprised Destruction Flag Otome isn't on here. It's a lovely and humorous work, and a great novel to read if you've never read an otome game novel before. A lot of people reference it when talking about otome game novels, so it's always funnier if you already know who Bakarina is when you read a comment about her...
