Looking for people's recommendations on their must reads. I prefer fully translated complete novels but I don't mind if they are still being translated. Open to all genres except yaoi. Also if the MC builds his own army/sect that's a plus in my book. [Edit] Someone brought up a good point on recommending things based on what I liked in other formats. I've read a ton of manga and watched a lot of anime so just I'll just give an idea of what I really enjoyed in those formats. Manga/Manwha/Manhua Kingdom - 10/10 so hype Berserk - OP badass MC tragedy redemption journey All Isekai manga The Breaker Mismarca Koukoku Monogatari - smart/cunning MC Anime SAO - action packed isekai. Code Geass - love the MC and his hero/anti-hero role Steins Gate No Game No Life Toradora! - love me some rom/com Books Kingkiller Chronicle Night Angel trilogy Inheritance Cycle Percy Jackson & the Olympians Inkheart trilogy
I recommend using the series finder feature and scrolling through the best rated ones that fit what you wanna read. As for completed novels id say legend of the shieldhero is a good one
We have this thing http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/suggestions-for-must-read-novels.19119/unread Save that masterpiece for last.
a little romance/comedy: A Slight Smile is Very Charming Husband, Be A Gentleman (dead links) Just Blame Me For Being Blind in the Beginning a little more action: Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World Release that Witch Seoul Station’s Necromancer Taming Master
I have other novels I like more, but what come to mind for an enjoyable novel where MC build his own faction that has a lot of chapters translated is WoC (World of Cultivation) Note though that this might be annoying to read at first, because the TL doesn't translate some of the words. e.g. jingshi/spirit stones. Warlock of the Magus World happen to also be a novel I would recommend for anyone to give a shot. It might be more entertaining if you've already read a bunch of other novels first though, as the author like to make fun of how reckless the main characters of other novels are. (Unlike Leylin.)

Release that Witch Smart Protagonist. Kingdom building. War. Transmigration The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage Rebirth. Smart MC. Revenge.
Coiling Dragon obviously, then Stellar Transformation are two nice beginner novels, then you can go for Martial World maybe ?
