    Well, the title says pretty much everything. Right now I'm with a lot of free time and so I was planning on binge reading a new novel. My reading list is public so please take a look at the "To Read" section and tell me what novel should I read first. Thanks a lot guys!

    Similar to what is on your reading list. Weak to strong cultivation tale with lots of world building and action.

    Very funny and action pack (once you get through the beginning). One of the best descriptions of a harem that I have seen.

    More slice of life (but plenty of action) about an OP MC that is vacationing in a game world until he finds a way home. Lots of little girls surrounding the MC but he treats them more like daughters. Expect lots of quests for food ingredients.

    Worm - The greatest web novel ever published, beyond exception.

    It's not on the list, but it should be.

    wow for once somone asks for some series to read and reading isnt private. PRAISE ODIN!
    but yeah all of the above series are damn good i would say get up to date with Shen Yin Wang Zuo if you hadnt as its a good series now for some other series to read i would say these

    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/tsuki-ga-michibiku-isekai-douchuu/
    nice refreshing story with a summoned hero immediatly kicked to the end of the world by the incredibly vain cause of how average he looks.
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/upgrade-specialist-in-another-world/
    a nicely written xianxia with a protag who has a game ability for a cheat makes this refreshing as well as his actually nice personality instead of the standard neutral good they all seem to gravitate towards
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/xian-ni/
    a previous series of er gen the author behind ISSTH, you'll notice some similarites but this one has a more dark undertone
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-empyrean-overlord/
    a xianxia with a former top teir martial god is kicked out of heaven by some assholes and now hes trying to get back there with his new family and friends. its a really nice story so far and something im enjoying
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/goblin-kingdom/
    what re: monster should have been for me. a guy reincarnates into a goblin much to his rage and him slowly carving a name for himself as a goblin king. its a very well told story.
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/heavenly-jewel-change/
    a refreshing MC with a shameless personality like the MC from Long Live Summons but more endearing for me as he still has fundamentally serious goals
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/no-fatigue-24-jikan-tatakaeru-otoko-no-tenseitan/
    a nice reincarnation story with a MC aquiring the interesting cheat to never grow bored or grow tired. nice world and good characters
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/my-pet-is-a-holy-maiden/
    a nice love story like rakudai in there theres the one herione only and there the best girl. though in this case it's his pet parrot that summoned him to another world after he lost all of friends and felt near suicidal from the loneliness of it all before she summoned it. its a nice series
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/kumo-desu-ga-nani-ka/
    this novel does something that makes me love it unconditionally. the MC's personality is brilliantly in that she's short sighted and honestly a bit of a lazy idiot but what i love is that THERE'S A LEGITIMATE EXPLANATION FOR A SKILL SYSTEM. it's a core part of the story which is deep filled with mysteries and will leave you wanting to read more. the chapters are short but loveable .
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/law-of-the-devil/
    an well written story that has the MC be reincarnated, hate it and want to go back and now want to just have some fun. the story is very slow paced which may turn you off it but once you past a point in the story it picks up and becomes brilliant with meaningful side characters and a good MC.
    http://www.novelupdates.com/series/swallowed-star/
    its a xianxia set on a world ravaged by monsters, it changes up the formula while sticking close to it making it a refreshing read
    if you have anymore series you want to see just check my reading list

    First what I prefer is smart xianxia/wuxia or western fantasy (forgot the name lol).
    But not the silly ones like MGA, PMG, ATG and the like (and god there's a lot of them).
    I like smart and good MC's and not stupid arrogant ones. Same for the enemies, I don't like when they want to kill just because MC breath the same air or because of chain-revenge(patent pending) where each foe goes at MC because he killed the previous one.
    I'll group the stories I liked by author as usually each author has pretty much the same qualities in their stories.

    Desolate Era /Coiling Dragon/Stellar Transformation/the 9 Cauldrons/Swallowed Star
    Unlike other Chinese authors, IET's MC's are genuine good guys without the usual overbearing arrogance of the genre (mc and foes). Great plots, world buildings and cultivation methods.

    Duoluo Dalu
    Definitely one of the best story out there with IET's

    True Martial World / Martial World
    Great world building and story.
    Cool cultivation methods and fights and foes not too stupid.

    Ze Tian Ji
    A very good xanxia with very few fights in the beginning but a smart MC and a lot of political plots. Characters are not especially black or white but can be a nuance of grey and that complexity is rare in xianxia nowadays where a friend is a friend and a foe is a foe point.

    The Great Ruler
    A smart xanxia story with great fights and a good setting.

    Tales of Demons and Gods
    I really like that idea of a redo, you come back in time and fix the things you regret the most and save the ones you love.
