    Sometime back I saw a post on a thread (not initiated by me) that recommended Black Sheep Prince. I thought it was interesting and was pleasantly surprised.

    Granted the english and grammar for this original series did need some proofreading, but if you have the time, I recommend reading it.

    So, for the purpose of this thread. I am looking for more hidden gems.
    [BTW, I do not consider Blue Phoenix a 'hidden' gem - it is quite good but not 'hidden']

    I am currently reading Beyond.

    Also, is there a site like novelupdates that tracks originals ? I wanna know all completed originals (that are not listed in novelupdates) if you can post it.

    Try My Daoist Life. It is well written and shows a lot of promise. However only 18 chapters are released and translation is slow( which will change soon).

    I really like this one, he's evil but still has morals.

    I second that, maybe only 18 chapter but they feel better than about 100 chapters of other novels.

    That's a difficult one, especially original, completed ones. There are hardly ANY completed originals that is worth reading. If you lower your request to something like at least x chapters is released, it would probably be easier to answer you.

    RRL is quite famous (that is a given) and I would say http://royalroadl.com/fictions/completed/ is something I am looking to complete (I have completed some 25% of this list)

    Another one called 'The Arrayist' by Clienz , 'Taint' and 'Earth's core' have been good in their pace till date (I need to catch up on these).

    Go to aho and check the original composition category. They have trackers for original fic there.

    I put 3, but I don't really know if it could be considered totally hidden gem since they have pretty high ratings.
    The Slime Dungeon http://royalroadl.com/fiction/3978

    Forever After
    http://royalroadl.com/fiction/3836

    Those who aspired to become Gods
    http://royalroadl.com/fiction/2058

    And finally, if you don't mind the hiatus later on and the short amount, try it. Because i loved the first book but since the 2nd book it goes downhill.
