    Well that was about 4 years ago already, there were a few manga's that i enjoyed reading at the time but got tired of waiting and then found their light novels on baka-tsuki then started going to aho-updates and then NU, it was quite a journey, i only started by reading jpn novels and then my first chinese one was coiling dragon ring, it was great, still one of my favorite novels.

    Lets see, I started with anime first for maybe 2 years?, then I realized that Rosario + Vampire (teenager years where harem was interesting) had more finished in the manga plus I hated the second season. So getting into manga I realized that the light novel for Scarlet Aria was way ahead of the manga so I transferred there. Once I got done with almost literally every light novel on Baka Tsuki (most of them still being harem.......... I blame myself), I started on Coiling dragon for CN because it was recommended and now here I am.

    Arifureta ftw. Too eager to wait for the manga, thus I went to the novels for more

    I think it was back in 2015 or 2016, i got so triggered with the latest chapter of shield hero that i just have to know how will the MC get back at bitch & co. I did a little research and found yoraikon site with the complete WN chapters. After that, i felt that reading wasn’t so bad afterall and started reading the LN or WN source of those damned monthly mangas (Mushuko tensei, Tsuki ga michibiku, death march, etc). I only limited myself to jp novels at first but,started branching out to kr novels after a while. I love Everyone else is a returnee. It was my first kr novel. After i ran out of kr novels to read, i moved on to ch novel. I started with Warlock of the Magus World which ofc i absolutely love.

    For me, it started out when I was young. Then, I stopped reading novel for two years when I was 16. I continued reading novel again when I was reading the webtoon Who Made Me A Princess and The Daughter of the Emperor.

    It was Coiling Dragons that kept me in the CN zone.

    But honestly, it was Martial God Asura that brought me into the scene. First of all it's the name, it sounded so bad-ass way back when, and everything was so fresh, I had never read any cultivation stuff before that. It was all shouty-skills stuff from Jap manga. It's all cookie-cutter now, but it was a revelation back then. Cheers!
