Recommendations What's the BEST (asian) novel you've ever read?

Hi

I was wondering which novel you like the most... Just for curiosity. Please tell me

 

In my case, don't have one. Sure, there are novels that I think are Really Good, but can't become Best.

 

Do you think you'll ever have one?

 

Invisible Dragon

 

My favorite is "Coiling Dragon" , i think it's because i discovered the light novel throught it

 

You misspelled invisble dragon

 

I'm Really A Superstar

 

the first Asian book i ever read was Kafka on the Shore but that's an actual book, rather than an online novel (it's still one of my favorites).
did you mean on this site?
i have favorites on this site but they're divided into genres and country; top 3 cultivation, games, show biz, modern, horror, quick wear, etc. there's no single story that stands head and shoulders over the rest.

 

Nope, as at least for me, my “most amazing novel ever” changes as soon as I found a new best one. However some novels/ mangas etc stay in my memories for a very long time and I may feel like that work was the best one, just because at the point in time when I read it if affected my mood in a certain way. Eg if I was sad and read something funny- then that novel is the best. In that particular moment. If I re-read that particular chapter when I’m in an angry mood it would most likely annoy me more than anything else, instead of calming me down or cheering me up. Probably if this thread was about movies it might have been easier to answer. I would have said that the best movie is some sports related inspirational type story. Or one with great acting, eg Meryl Streep. The best author (English speaking one) would probably be Stephen King, but I would not touch another fictional book he wrote ever again. Unless it was by accident. The writing is so great, too great in fact, that I still have goosebumps remembering a couple of stories that I did read. Yeah, so instead of saying the best novel ever, perhaps you could split the question up into:
-the most memorable
-the funniest /saddest/mysterious
-characters you liked the most
-the most consistent plot
-the best intro or ending
-the novel you wished there was a sequel to (Strange Life of a Cat, for me)
-the novel you cant wait for updates of
-the novel you specifically bought in paperback because you love them so much (and/or wish to support the author)
(I asked for a couple of mangas as birthday presents... for example, only one was in official English translation at the time though and still ongoing)

 

Joker Game is the only novel I've read on this site that doesn't need the qualifier at the end i.e., it's good for an Asian novel. Surprisingly, the anime is even better.

 

I started with anime. Bunch of oldies growing up. Gundam Wing, Yu Yu Hakusho, Tenchi Muyo and others. I didn't get into the novels until only a few years ago. Lol.

 

Devil's Cage and Release that Witch

 

I like Dungeon Defense the most: out of every chinese, japanese, korean, indian and every other asian country's novel/novel series that I've read.

 

Quick character transmigration: final boss is no joke, Joy of Life, Way of the Devil, and gourment of another world.
These are the beat stories I've read.

 

Reverend Insanity

 

Release that Witch is a good one, like LeakLeaf said
For something more realistic, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto
Also currently liking Bone Painting Coroner, but I don't know if it will stay good or not.

 

Death March and Death Mage.
There's also Realist Hero, Infinite Dendrogram and Clockwork Planet.
I can't decide which one is my favorite.

Also, maybe No Game No Life and Arifureta. but I haven't read some chapters and volumes, so they might not be my favorite.
