    I have so many books on my reading list that are quite nice but it just doesn’t energize mo to read them. I just wanna read a novel that motivates me to binge read them.
    There are books that I likes and did binge them, they are:
    Trash of the Count’s Family
    Perfect Destiny
    The Earth is Online
    Back to the Age of Dinosaurs
    Legendary Master’s Wife


    There were books that I also binge read but didn’t satisfy me in the end.
    I’m fine with:
    BL
    No romance
    No harem
    Mild angst Or none at all
    Fluff or found family
    Action
    Comedy or comedic undertone
    Engaging characters that isn’t purely evil nor saint
    Actually good side characters that aren’t cannon fodders or used as a stepping stone

    Suggestions mean much to me!

    Also thanks for the people reminding me to put this thread here!

    I feel your ennui can't be dissolved by ordinary recommendations. What you need is to treat the root of the problem... like reading Invisible Dragon to gain a new appreciation for all those that failed to excite you before! :blobpeek:

    These are all no-romance/friendship-centred, with a comedic undertone in the writing style and unique supporting characters that all play important roles.

    Completed:
    Legend of Sun Knight (fantasy)
    Yu Brothers’ Case Book (supernatural murder mystery/crime, minor horror)

    Ongoing:
    Residence of Monsters (demon academy)
    Unique Legend (magic academy)
    Fu Xing Dong Lai (demon academy)
    Chen Yue Zhi Yao (fantasy, transmigration/rebirth)

    As for BL, if you liked Earth is Online, try Card Room and Trial Game of Life. Global University Entrance Examination is a good one too.

    Also, this should be moved to “Looking For” section.

    Actually, Dungeon defence is completed, but as web novel (there was an issue with light novel, so the first draft of the story, web novel, is the only one that got to be finished). Anyways, LN is sooo much better, but unfortunately, will not be continued.

    Really liked ‘Unique Legend’. Tried to find the raws but couldn’t find one for volume 16. Chu Ming Yang is my type of mc XD

    Ahhhh if you liked the MC in Unique Legend, you will seriously love the MCs in Chen Yue Zhi Yao and Fu Xing Dong Lai! Also The Yu Brothers' Case Book is by the same author as UL. There are similarities in the MC there too, but he's a bit more jaded because he's older, and the story is a completely different tone/setting.

    I'm always recommending this to people but I really love The Lazy King. It's got a very interesting and unique magic system and the story is unique in that it doesn't focus on the main character, but rather the supporting cast that revolve around him.
