    Basically looking for a site like NU, but for stuff written in English. Not rrl though, there's not much left there that I haven't read that can make it past my search filters.

    Must have advanced search features, especially the ability to exclude tags. I hardly ever know what I want to read, so I tend to focus on what I don't want to read.

    No sites that only contain fan fiction. I don't like trying to keep two separate sets of cannon straight, so I tend to avoid fan fiction.

    Top Web Fiction or RRL
    those are the closest site you can find...

    Edit: most of the works on this sites are originals, but i reccomend you to read the novels listed on the first link....since the second are most of the times incomplete works

    i know there might be some, but the chances of finding one with good ui design (as in they paid money to make their s*** looks nice) is very low.

    its kinda of a grey area. if they try to get big name book on there ,they will probably get shutdown by publisher. it's harder for chinese publishers to shut translated novels down as the're probably trying to shutdown the ones in their home country instead of a country millions of miles away

    Thanks, I'll check them out.
    Edit:
    WLN Novels: Everything I click on seems to be an rrl story that I never saw because it couldn't manage a rating above 3, even in the very generous environment that is rrl. The ones rated above that, I recognize and don't bother clicking on. This is after checking the box to not include royal road titles. Honestly, I might as well just use rrl's own search engine. Its more in-depth and more direct.

    Aho-Updates: site is currently down.
    I'll check out the first one, thanks. Edit: Its not searchable...
    I hadn't. I'll read through it. Edit: not really what I was looking for.
    I'm looking for legally available, online works anyway.

    NU is probably the only site where they don't care about advertising another similar site.

    Its probably because they know they're the best site for this kind of thing. That, and the stories I'm looking for are banned on this site.

    This isn't an immediate solution, but... If you wait enough, you will be able to use NU for that, as stated by this post from Tony.

    Don't expect it anytime soon though.

    Here's hoping it comes sooner rather than later though.

    AFAIK, only the first one allows you to add original works. Though bakatsuki also allows some works like "Mother of Learning" to be updated there
