    Jikuu Mahou was good because its villains listened to reason. That's both all it had and all it needed.

    Okay... Bunch of nonsense on this post... Let's break it down in parts.
    Your argument already crumbled with this single word, nothing you say will ever make sense if you generalize like that.

    I do agree that those things are common though, and that is why I don't read them. Refine your inner filter and you'll stop reading them too.
    There are some well-made harems on NU, already, I never bothered with reading anything with Polygamy, but I assume that there are some good ones in it too.
    This is easy, just remove xianxia/xianhuan/wuxia from your list and 95% of the arrogant MCs will be gone.
    I do agree that it is rare to see meaningful character deaths in general, but I do see them every now and then.

    Not being a sacrifice or the like is kinda... Super rare though... Still, it exists.
    Avoid stories that have all those tags together and you should be fine: JP + Male Protagonist + Harem + Isekai

    Do that, and you should avoid most of the super dense MCs.




    Conclusion: There is plenty of good stuff to read on NU, you are looking at the wrong ones.
    Kyaaaa!!!! *gets thrown*

    Throws pitchfork.

    Anyway in all seriousness there's over 3,000 novels here if you can't find anything you like, you should probably either stop reading for enjoyment, or stop reading books from different countries.

    I don't know why you're so obsessed with this word, but it cringes me a little every time i read your post mentioning it.

    Its a running gag of mine where in one of my first posts I was looking for a name to my novel when my mom walked in and told me "Get a fuckin job, you degenerate." So then I named my first novel Tale of A Degenerate (T.O.A.D)

    Well, I kinda disagree with you.

    First of all, I don't really get your post. Do you only want to rant or what?

    Secondly, each to his/her own.. perspective. I think that there are particular point of views and that each writer tries to transmit/show/tell different stories in their own way.

    I can't recommend you any good harem as I'm not really interested in that genre and so I rarely read books written in that genre. Though, I think that you can find some interesting novels if you search for them by using the 'romance' tag.

    What stories did you like from NU?

    From a post RWX made a long time ago, you should know why it's not wise to pay normal translators.

    Do you remember where the post was? Or what was the reasoning for why it's a bad idea?

    Thank you for answering! I was thinking that a professional translator would be able to translate quicker because they're actually fluent in both languages and have a lot of experience converting one language to another.

    I remember when i first got into light novels, and the CN cultivation novels seemed awsome, till i realized how garbage it was... finding a good novel is tough, and my reading list is unfortunately quite short. Too few well written novels, but thats what makes the good ones so special.
