    Wishing a good moment:
    My username is rialm but please call me Ria.

    What are my hobbies/interests?
    I am an indecisive person. I love most things: reading books, nature (hiking, roaming, meandering, running, lying in,...), knowledge, learning, discussions, music, movies, art, technology, biology, history (especially the 4th-3rd millenium BC), philosophy,...
    Sports betting, weak MCs without strong SCs, senseless hatred, memorizing things

    What genres do I read often/tags am I looking for?
    - I love overpowered MCs or OP characters in general. I respect characters that have the power to do everything but do not.
    - Unless the novel has a focus on comedy, the MC should be intelligent. This includes the ability to forsee the actions of others or at least attempting to do so. I love comedy though.
    - I do not mind violence and gore, but I feel most horror stories are boring.
    - Reading The Daily Life of the Immortal King has given me an interest in cultivation novels.
    - I do not mind harem. Recently I have been avoiding them because they often seem to make MCs act in an erratic manner and lose their intelligence.
    - I do like romance. Solely romance is boring, however, mixed with some power and action it is great! BL is welcome as well!
    - Not a fan of gender bender so far, but I have not read much gender bender yet.

    What is my favourite novel/read and WHY?
    This is a difficult question. My favorite LNs at the moment are Classroom of the Elite and Irregular At Magic High School. I like the former (CotE) because of the psychological elements involved as well as the interesting, unscrupulous-seeming? main character with considerable hidden power. The highschool setting is a bonus. My highschool life was super ordinary so reading this is fun. That's one of the reasons I like IMH. Yet again a strong MC that hides his powers and experiences high school live.
    That is the segue to my favorite WN at the moment The Daily Life of the Immortal King. It features the same two elements, although the writing feels less artful (cannot complain as I am reading the translation). I enjoy the many references and modern metaphors. In general, I love references to other works ancient and modern, as well as myths, and culture.
    I have a list of favorites for WN and LN on my profile. Here I'll mention Everyone Else is a Returnee as well as Evil God Average. Enjoyed them both. For LN mentions, right now Ascendance of a Bookworm 2 Volume 3 arrived in my ebook library, therefore, I'll stop writing this post. Death March, Arifureta, how not to summon a demon lord,... <- too lazy to write explanation, I enjoyed them.

    Thank you for welcoming me! I hope to find many great web novels and meet interesting people as well as YOU. I think you are probably pretty interesting. I mean you have been reading this (partially?). Haha, thank you for your time and have a wonderful moment :)

    This thread is really long but I don't have anything to do because I can't go out of the house so I think I will read the whole thread.
    (If there is anyone that knows a good novel with an emotionless mc please save me from this thread.)

    Unfortunately maybe this thread and several others here are perhaps equal or greater than most good to great webnovels. And also i dont know of any novel that meets that criteria

    Hey there! I'm pretty new. Just signed on to keep track of the thigns I read, but it couldn't hurt to participate in the forums as well.
    Name: Chikka
    Hobbies & Interests: I enjoy reading LNs and manga, sometimes WNs. Sometimes, I try to write my own stories, but it's more difficult that I expected! I'm a graphic designer by trade, so I mostly work on layouting and branding, while occasionally streaming about game design.
    Genres: My favourite genres are josei, romance, comedy, and fantasy.
    Favourite Novel: That's gotta be JK Haru is a Sex Worker in Another World. I found the focus on sex work immediately fascinating while being very respectful, and Haru's inner thoughts were enjoyable to read. It's nice to see an isekai about sex that's also aimed at female readers. I recommend it to anyone looking for a change of pace.

    I’ve been a hardcore manga reader and anime watcher for years and I finally think that I should get into light novels, but I’m not sure if I can transition into light novels, got any advice?

    pay CLOSE attention to the ratings on NU, i find that they're pretty accurate. it's easier to get dragged into bad quality LN than bad quality anime/manga in my opinion. honestly, just try to find light novels that are already in genres that you like. you can even see if you can find the light novels for your favorite anime/manga as jump-off points!

    Same!! Before I just read manga and watch anime. But nowadays, I addicted to read novel lol.

    For you, I suggested LN/WN from your favorites series. For example: Overlord, or whatever isekai series (most of them from novel), then Rimuru-sama of course! Then that spider isekai, bunch of otome game troupe if you read the manga, etc etc

    Oh well, I don't know what kind of series your liking are. So I just named that random series.
