I read chinese and korean webnovels usually, mainly because every time i read japanese novels i get frustrated by the lack of direction or plot. For some reason though i can read tons of manga without these problems... (Essentially i dislike the cute girls doing cute stuff type of slice of life) What i want in order of importance: Actual Arc's with plot. Story first, characters second (though if i can have the cake and eat it i will). Readable consitent translation, trying to avoid multiple translators or edited MTL's. More seinen than shonen if possible. Finally Slice of Life is fine in smaller dosages, such as the classic beach event right after an arc. I also really liked the Persona games, but even though those games are slice of life heavy there is a good balance between the slice of life stuff, the story stuff and the gamplay stuff.
