    Well my situation is extremely similar but now carrying around a book to read just seems hard to do after being used to reading all these on my phone anytime anywhere. Mereb

    Mark del Franco, if you can find him, writes urban fantasy with a male MC. I could only ever find a few of his novels.

    Robin Hobb's Solder Son Trilogy is good. I've read it a couple of times.

    I don't know where you are, but check to see if your local library has an app you can use to check out ebooks. You may not be able to get all of the specific books you're looking for but you just may find something new.

    The Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin: a simple yet so good series.
    The entire Realm of the Elderlings series by Robin Hobb, start with Assassin's Apprentice.
    Dune and its sequels by Frank Hebert, dont try the books by his son.
    The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie, one of the best dark fantasy series.

    If you want the peak of Fantasy books, go read Malazan Books of the Fallen By Steven Erickson, start with Gardens of the Moon.
    You are warned, this is no easy read, but if you can keep on reading this, you will be blown away.
    This is my personal favorite series out of everything i have ever read.

    Mostly only read fantasy stuffs...
    As many people has mentioned... definitely Brandon Sanderson works.
    Then there is A Song of Ice and Fire that is still waiting to be completed
    Other would be Runelords series by David Farland, and I also like Jennifer Fallon's works (these ones geared more towards female readers). If you want easy to digest fantasy... I guess Harry Potter or David Edding's novels.

    I have a wide array of published novels I will mention as recommendations, while I will also mention some English Original Webnovels not on RRL. I honestly don't pay attention to how long it has been since I have read things, so I'm going to ignore that part of the request.

    Published Novel Recommendations:
    - Terry Pratchett's Diskworld Series
    - Brent Week's Night Angel Trilogy
    - Jim Butcher's Dresden Files & Codex Alera (haven't really read his third series)
    - David Gemmell's Drenai series.
    - Rick Riordan's series (they're converging together, so there's not much point in
    separating them)
    - Tamora Pierce's Books

    Online Novels:
    - Origional Published works at Honyaku. Specifically, Wizard with the Flower Blades, Origin Story the VRMMO: Advent of Axebear, Kousei Ishikawa is Cursed(?), and Fluvia Dellarose.
    -
    Reject Hero. It's a story about a nice guy who gets a power that simultaneously makes him immortal and everyone wanting to kill him when it activates. Which it does on a hair trigger. Completed.
