    My name is pretty simple, you can just call me Bob. Skully works too I suppose. Or Bob the skull.
    Hobbies: I have a few. I tend to rotate between reading books, playing games (video, board, or card games!), or reading novels/manga. I also go backpack camping and hiking. I would love to write or be artistic but both require this "creativity" stuff I seem to lack....
    I dont know if I have a favorite tag, just a list of non-favorite tags. I pretty much ban dense protagonist and harem from my list of reads. I probably read mostly Seinen followed by Josei. I like every book to have at least a romantic subplot though.

    My favorite manga is "All you need is Kill". This is because It has one of my two absolute favorite things in any written media. It is a major spoiler but
    I love novels that have a circular ending. The MC kills or eliminates someone then realizes that they have to take their place and do the same things as the person they just eliminated. Bonus points if it ends with the possibility of the someone else eventually killing the MC and taking their place having to fill the same role that the MC took for some else. Extra bonus points if the character resented the person they killed for doing that same thing they will now have to do. This need not always be caused by death, but can be caused by imprisoning, exiling, or ruining social standing
    Not sure I'd there is a tag for that.
    Anyway that's me in a nutshell. If you read that spoiler let me know if you have anything similar.

    Welcome to NUF, Bob.

    Hiking's really fun if you have a good group to go with. Don't know if you visited/live in the States, but Grand Canyon and that area is always a classic.

    Hmm, usually this is the part where I always recommend Praise the Orc, but it doesn't really have a romantic subplot, still a great novel with a great MC and plot regardless. Worth checking out.

    If you haven't already, check out The Novel's Extra if you want to hop aboard the recent bandwagon and desire some magic realism + LitRPG. There's also TAS if you want your LitRPG to have an extra heaping of high fantasy haha.

    I would also usually recommend The Earth is Online at this time if you're into apocalypse + puzzle/mystery and willing to go out of your comfort zone.

    Welp. All I got. Anyway, welcome again to NUF. See ya around.

    Name: Kimmy Chim Cham (or just K)
    Hobbies/interests: Reading (Duh), cardio, kpop, anything thrilling or new, roasting people, being savage, other people's business, and etc. (AKA literally anything)
    Favorite Genres: I'm a sucker for sappy romances and super tragic tragedies. In other words, I either wanna feel super fluffy inside or I want to feel down in the deepest pits of hell. I don't mind drama too much but excessive amounts of it is irritating. I also used to read harem but I'm sick and tired of it. I prefer stories with quality relationships in them. Quality beats quantity in that respect. (Totally recommend a manga called Horimiya btw)
    Favorite Novel: Omniscient Reader; I just love the side characters and their interaction with the main character. Its really rich and you get to see so much of the personalities.
    Gender: I sexually identify myself as a couch.

    Hello, I'm Nox! I enjoy reading, creating art, listening to music, and being a lowkey weeb.
    I'm cool beans with most mainstream genres like action, romance, and mystery. Don't mind some good cultivation and danmei novels also.
    I'm really enjoying Lady Cultivator right now because it's fun and satisfying reading about the heroine's path to immortality. (I also really like MXTX novels and Thousand Autumns!)

    Hello, Resonance here.
    I enjoy watching Anime and reading Manga and novels.
    Genres/tags I enjoy are Drama, Romance, Transmigration, Reincarnation etc, though I will read any story if it interest me.
    My favourite novel would be Face of the Devil, I really like it that they are always together and also the concept of the story.
