    Hello guys
    Can you guys recommend me a novel having no or at least less plot holes I like reading action one and I can read novel having a system but you know power system in those novel sometimes doesn't makes sense in Korean novels MC died or reincarnated and now out of nowhere he is genius and cunning and is going to defeat anybody hindering his path like bruh stop exactly how does you become so genius and strong.
    I recently read "Shadow Slave" and it's good and I want something like that
    If not at least recommend me a novel having a realistic MC who has achieve something with hard work not a cheat system. Action with mystery is more than welcome.

    The Great Storyteller Don't know about plot holes, but I liked the story.
    The story is about a protagonist who, rather than being a failure, died due to his immense initial success, which brought him a great deal of trouble. He had written a book that received universal acclaim and was hailed as a genius, but was unable to live up to the expectations and ultimately failed.
    In his second chance, the protagonist is taking things slow and trying not to let his success overwhelm him. He has adopted a pen name to remain anonymous and is now focused on learning what it truly means to be a great writer.

    They're kinda serious novels but written really well. I'm also reading shadow slave but I can't really think of more similar novels than these.

    It's like asking for a colander with no holes. Authors aren't perfect beings, so they can't make perfect stories. There may be stories with no plot holes, but the tradeback is that they have a gaping hole in storytelling value.

    The only LN I can think of with consistently amazing writing, in depth lore, and understandable characters is Overlord.
    Wanna know the best part?
    IT DOESNT ABUSE THE ANNOYING ASS IDIOT PLOT OR THE IDIOT BALL WRITING TOOL!

    I don't think that you'll be able to find any Korean or Chinese webnovel without any plot holes. Even in the real literature some authors forget about some plot strings or intentionally chop them. Just try to find novels with more or less reasonable plot like people had recommended above

    https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/14167/metaworld-chronicles - based on the author's qualifications, plot holes are less likely. From his replies to comments (which I haven't read all of), I've learned that the author has a degree in Literature, deals with Shakespeare all day, works at the University of New South Wales, had to constantly attend Zoom calls about managing the student body during COVID, sooooooo...I think he's a professor.

    If you want even more surety, then I suggest you read the Kindle or print versions of this novel instead of directly from RoyalRoad. I recall the author mention while telling Readers that he was preparing the chapters for his first book, the professional Editor gave him a list of 15,000 things to fix.

    This is one of my favorite novels because of how complicated it is. It is obvious to me that the author has major portions of the story planned out because he sprinkles clues over several chapters and you won't realize that they were clues until a dozen chapters later when some of them come together, and then another dozen chapters later, several of those previously revealed events come together to a mind blowing result. For example, the author was able to turn a horrible, mostly incurable plague into a good thing for those infected where by staying infected, it was their salvation.

    There's no such things like "qualifications" when it comes to the plot holes. Every person can be lazy or forgetful, regardless of their job or education

    And that's why I included the suggestion to read the Kindle or printed versions if one is especially picky because the story had been vetted by RR readers and a professional editor.

    It definitely helps but only to some extent. It's not like trashy printed literature doesn't exist
