    Hello. So I've just started reading novels like 4 months ago, a total newbie. I've read maybe 10 up to now most are long.
    All the novels I'Ve read are Chinese. So I ask for rec for Japanese or maybe Korean.
    You experienced people which ones are the best ? CN, KR or JP ?
    Ps. I'm into romance~

    Master Hunter K (a bit cliche but since you're still new to Korean novel why don't give it a go ;))

    A tip from veteran: Chinese novels are alpha arrogant bitches that like to rape, Korean novels are about betrayal and greed, Japan are about being beta, slice of life with no story and haremfest.

    Why dont you start off with a more modern romance novel?

    I recommend <A Slight Smile is Very Charming>. It even has a drama that's really popular, so it'll be easier to relate to.

    Another modern one would be <Good Morning, Miss Ghost>. It's really cute and the other novels by the same author are really great too! ^^

    A fun and absolute favorite of mine is <Half Prince>. It's comedic and the MC is really funny. It's set in a more futuristic time and most id the MC's adventures are in this Virtual Reality Mass Player Mode Game where she meets new friends. Basic storyline is that she's a girl but because of a bet with her brother, she requests to become a super hot elf boy, and so begins her journey! The ratings are 3.9 but I can absolutely assure you that it's worth it! Other books by the same author are famous too.

    Other modern novels:
    I Am A Killer
    Hidden Marriage
    Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet
    Reborn as My Love Rival’s Wife
    Side Character Transmigrations: The Final Boss is No Joke
    Supernatural Girlfriend
    The Military Female Soldier With Unwavering Stubbornness
    The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage
    This MC is Kickass
    When A Snail Loves


    Or if you're into the wuxia, xianxia or ancient periods type, here are a few that are good and popular to start off with:

    Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort
    A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor
    A Mistaken Marriage Match: Mysteries in the Imperial Harem
    A Mistaken Marriage Match: Pursuit of Murderer in Liao Yue
    A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances
    A Mistaken Marriage Match: The Pirate’s Daughter
    Across the Stunning Beast Princess: Phoenix Against the World
    Descent of the Phoenix – 13 Years Old Princess Consort
    Doomed to be Cannon Fodder
    Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss
    I am a Big Villlain (Quick Transmigration Male MC! But it's really good!)
    Quick Transmigration The Prodigal Son (Also Male MC)
    The Star Light Shines When He Came(Male MC and quick transmigration)
    Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss
    Meow Meow Meow
    Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor
    Miracle Doctor, Abandoned Daughter: The Sly Emperor’s Wild Beast-Tamer Empress
    Poison Genius Consort
    Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith
    The Demonic King Chases His Wife: The Rebellious Good-for-Nothing Miss
    The Eunuch is Pregnant
    The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady
    Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
    Unruly Xiaoyao
    Unprecedented Pill Refiner: Entitled Ninth Young Lady

    Hmm cliche ? I'm afraid of those lol . Because I'm not new to this type of entertainment like manga anime and even Korean entertainment as a whole. But I'll keep a note

    Depends on what genre of novel you want to read:
    - JP are kind of like the all rounder type with no exception in the genre thought if you want things like Isekai (mc 'traveled' from their original world to another of sword and magic where he/she but mostly he plans to enjoy the new life and build a harem) then JP are your target of novel (works that you might know within this section include, Overlord, Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken, Konosuba,
    Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e, etc...)
    - CN mostly and not all focuse on cultivation and world travel, special powers, cool martial arts and sword battles are within this section (works that you might know include, Ze Tian Ji, Quanzhi Fashi, etc...)
    - KR include many good works, but if you are into romance with female MC then you might like KR novels (works that you might know but with Male MC, I Alone Level-up, Volcanic Age, etc...)

    If starting to recommend, it's huge list to be honest. I think it's best if you use list function with those specific tags you are into. At least this how i find most of mine first novels.

    Best romance with fighting - Martial Arts Master
