Spice and Wolf - Excellent world building, excellent characters and romance. Really, no webnovel/LN I read ever comes close to how characters interact in spice and wolf.
Reborn as my Love Rival's Wife - It's the most hilarious novel I've read on this site. It's also my favorite love story. And its a male-to-female gender bender with straight romance, which is my favorite genre!(It basically hits all the right spots for me.) The plot is literally like a household soap opera(the MC says that herself, what kind of soap opera he has fallen into), but that's not important cause the charm lies within the characters, specially the main character who is so funny and her interaction with the male lead which is so cute and fluffy. I found this novel when it wasn't yet completely translated, had about half the novel left to be translated. Couldn't wait a single second so I read the whole thing using google translate. The first one I ever went through the struggle of machine translating. I have tried google translating with other novels later too, but I never last even 1 chapter. This novel was just that good for me. And it still became my favorite novel even after a lot of things got lost trying to decipher the horrible mess google made. And after it got completely translated, it became the first and only novel (even among mangas and animes) that I have re-read in my life. I have never read the same story twice in my life before. I don't even watch animes of mangas I've read that's how bad it is!
Favourite? I don't think I know how to answer that as I have many favourites and not one, like: Dominating Sword Immortal Sage Monarch Cultivation Chat Group And many more...
Coiling Dragon has a special spot for me, it was the first ever LN/WN I read. A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality is probably what I'd recommend if someone asked me for a good novel tho, I'm simply too uncertain how much of the greatness from CD is because of nostalgia
ISSTH, because it was persistent good quality from beginning to end, I'd have gone with CD but it has a shitty end.
Trash of the counts family Doomed to be cannon fodder I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess With Only Destruction Flags… My death flags show no sign of ending Quickly wear the face of the devil Aside from the fact that their all to another world books the best part is theres lots of fluff which I wish was a genre I can search here.
Top management The author is on hiatus so sad to say that this novel will not be finished any time soon.
favorite novel or favorite web novel on this site? my favorite Asian novel is Kafka on the Shore. my favorite novel on this site seems to change with whatever genre i'm interested in at the moment so i have favorites for each genre but not one over all. for example, I've been reading horror/ supernatural lately so at the moment my favorite is My House of Horrors. when i move on to a different genre i'll have a different set of favorites (cultivation, end of the world, quick wear, etc).
I can't pick my favourite but I can tell you I came here because of japanese and I stayed because of chinese but I like the korean.
I like Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator...for its food porn..however, I love the hilarity of Beloved Empress..
hm. Hard. CD is pretty darn good. Mostly original system, world, mechanics, interesting characters, places, events. One of the few novels on this site i've re-read, similarly ST. PTO and SSN are pretty good, too. oddly enough, although I initially came to this site for the LN, none of them have really stood out that much for me. among those, though, maybe tate no yuusha and overlord? In terms of physical books, the inheritance cycle is pretty good. Funnily enough, I just had a look, and it almost looks like he's taking a page out of my book! Honestly, though, I don't have a favourite. For, like, anything. You ask me what's my favorite of something, all I can give you is a list.
Why is Coiling Dragon like the first for everyone!? Even me! It's just too much of a coincidence how everyone says Coiling Dragon was their first web novel or light novel.
For me it's https://www.novelupdates.com/series/passion-heaven/ The story is somewhat sad, the characters have a lot of flaws and weaknesses (no perfect MCs and heroes) but still when you read it, you get engrossed in it for some reason. And I read it totally not because the movie adaptation cast includes EXO Kris and SuJu Hangeng After reading the comments here, I'm going to give Coiling Dragon a try though. Thanks for creating this thread. ^.^
From this site? Probably Coiling Dragon or possibly Martial World. Other novels/books? I'd probably have to say the Codex Alera series, but I'm not sure if that counts for the question posed.
Womanizing Mage is amazing and my favourite novel. Pretty much what I want. Huge harem with interesting women with some variety - Check Overpowered main character who is a sweet talker but also lecherous - Check Main character who shows off a lot and doesnt try to hide all of his abilities - Check A simple story thats just there without any drama - Ckeck Cute and sweet interactions between the MC and the love itnerests without long separations - Check And a lot of more Checks. Over the past 3 weeks or so I have been reading hundreds of chapters of different novels just to see if i like them. And from that I can say that a few novels might also become my favourite like : 108 Maidens of Destiny - MC is kinda of pathetic at the start but grows a back bone very fast. The harem makes this novel shine and although they dont do anything at the start, things escalate after ~200 chapters .I like a lot of things about this one Long Live Summons - This novel has without a doubt the pinnacle of alpha male MC. Not at the start but you can feel the progress as you read, its very subtle. AS far as I have read, there are no separations between the MC and the harem. His brings them around within his own space wherever he goes. And a lot of mroe things Urban Banished Immortal - as far as I have read this is like Womanizing Mage but in a modern day setting. Sadly its not being translated Very Pure and Ambiguous : The Prequel - everything in the novel is perfect .... except how the MC hides everything. MC hides that he is the CEO behind the scenes and hides his abilities. Its very sad ... but everything else is amazing And I want to throw some honorable mentions of novels that I absolutly love but hate some parts of them so they will never be my favourite ones. Endless Path Infinite Cosmos - Its a fanfic of Danmachi (for now). I hate how MC makes stupid decisions based on his ability to see the aura of people. Sometimes acts super lame too. I hate how much bias he has towards Hestia. And I hate a lot of minor stuff too.But I love it for the GODLIKE interactions between the MC and the girls. Thats what keeps me going. Hahah i also love the NETWORK that the girls have too keep tabs on the MC and share info on him. Rebirth of the Legendary Guardian - amazing novel overall. But the thing I hate about it the details of the fights and equipment. THere are full blown chapters of fights, which are easily skippable. Harem takes a lot of time to form, thats another thing i hate about it. Harem forms after the MC has sex with the 2 best girls at chapter 508. Commanding Wind and Cloud - super boring chapters early on. I hate almost everything in the first 300 chapters. But after chapter 326 everything takes a turn for the better and it becomes amazing. Harem also fors in the later 300ish chapters. But the MC lacks a spine when it comes to women, sadly. Overall very good Just as a side note here : Man Huang Feng Bao - I have not read it but from the reviews this seems like a perverted version of Emperors Domination. If that is true then this novel might be GODLIKE
