If you had to recommend one novel out of all the ones you've read which would you recommend? I'm not a big fan of harem
An absolute read recommendation - Everyone Else is Returnee. The action, comedy, pacing of the story, meta jokes. Everything is absolutely brilliant. It has always been on the top of my list. Close contenders at 2nd place would be Irregular at magic high school, Mushoku no tensei, Zero no Maria and Coiling Dragon. Third place goes to Stop! Friendly fire, Lonely attack on a different world, Evil Overlord of a intergalactic empire, Never die extra, Sevens. As you might notice, not many Chinese novels here, because I have never read another Chinese novel completely except Coiling Dragon. They are usually too long and quality suffers towards the end, to varying degree.
Well there is no combat and not really action like with the others, but Marriage Concerto (Small Thing Called Love) is nice for a romance novel with no big drama factors and such. Tbh anything by this author is nice and heartwarming, so if you liked it there are plenty of others to read.
Ah...so hard to choose! I'll do by genre (these are all either no-romance or minimal BL - no harem!). I’ve finished (and reread) all of these, whether by raws or by tls. Western Fantasy: Legend of Sun Knight (best MC ever - witty, scheming, righteous, and OP) Transmigration/Rebirth: Chen Yue Zhi Yao (hilariously unique MC with insane plot twists) Mystery/Crime: The Yu Brothers’ Case Book (has a light supernatural/horror twist and every single character gets a chance to be under the spotlight) Survival Game: Earth is Online (literally cannot stop reading once you start) Psychological/Thriller: The Real Awakening (showcases the dark/twisted side of human nature and its tragic consequences, with a supernatural twist) Magic Academy: Fu Xing Dong Lai (comedic fluff that highlights true friendship)
Depends, are we talking webnovels or books in general? My top 3 webnovels #1: Tarrin Kael's Sennadar Universe (Firestaff and Pyrosian Chronicles) #2: A Step into the Past #3: Ancient Godly Monarch But if we're talking books in general then Homer's the Iliad is a no brainer.
I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak Tomorrow Series by John Marsden 1. Tomorrow, When the War Began 2. The Dead of Night 3. A Killing Frost
ERHA (The Dumb Husky and His White Cat Shizun)!!! YUWU! (Stains of Filth) Both are by the same author (Meatbun) and both are Yaoi... the best books I have read so far! Apart from HOB.
My fav novels are Reverend Insanity Kill the hero The great mage returns after 4000 years (gets eh later on) My Disciples Are All Villains Way of the Devil Lord of the Mysteries A Will Eternal Emperor Has Returned (woopread, it deserves more recognition) Chen Yue Zhi Yao (comedy) Coiling Dragon (good beginner cultivation novel) Legend of the Sun Knight There are a few more but I can't remember them all My all time favourites are kill the hero and Reverend Insanity along with Lord of the Mysteries
So hard too choose! If you want hilarious storytelling with interesting plot - key of the sunken moon is right up your valley If you want deep character development with well-thought out plot and romance - taming of the yandere Power fantasy with good writing all around - Overlord Good world-building and some mystery - Doomsday Wonderland (actually umineko koro chiru ni but it's a vn so Doomsday Wonderland)
