    What's the first novel you've read in NU?

    Hm~ for me it was 2 years ago and the name of the novel was
    Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody

    this is opened the world of novels for me well before i started reading SAO now i've probably read atleast a few dozen of works in NU and im still looking forward to reading more!

    Edit: My bad i meant the links for the novels that are posted here in the NU (god how many times do i have to edit this post desu~)

    Uff.... been so long. It should be mushoku tensei as i was one of the freelance editors of it in bakatsuki. And then added the novel to NU about 5? Years ago. I still remember NU when it only had about 4 pages of novels lol.

    I dont particularly remember since it’s been almost 4 or so years that I got into reading webnovels, but I think one of my firsts was Death March too, I had just read a bit of the translated manga and wanted more content of it but couldn’t find anymore trnaslated manga chapters

    Hmm... good question. I started reading translated novels from google searches and blog posts originally so I'm not sure I can say which was the first one I found on NU was. I do remember a feverish period where I was in constant euphoria shortly after I found this place though.

    I don't think we can read anything on NU.............:blobcheeky:

    I think it was I Shall Seal the Heavens for me. I read Coiling Dragon and Stellar Transformations before finding NU.

    ^ Same. I would assume something from Baka-tsuki, wxw or moonlight sculptor though.
    I dont think it was cd or lms as I remember reading them before finding out about nu. It could have been Blade Dance or Leviathian or Baka to test probably? I think it is most likely to be tdg or issth though.

    It's not at Novel update that make me read novel at first, it's from website Baka-tsuki. The novel that I read first is Baka to Test because at that time I want to find that novel manga. Find that site and then I been hooked.
    Ps: the novel Baka to Test is 100x more funny then animation. I laugh until my stomach hurt from it.

    Well... if you're talking literally about on Novel Updates, specifically the forums.... I have only read one novel so far.
    https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/have-you-fallen-for-me-yet-complete-version.20446/
    If you're talking about novels that are hosted, maybe Yomigaeri no Maou, Shield Hero, or some sort of chinese novel about cultivation......the one with face, jade-skinned beauties, and Mt. Tai..... yeah.... oh and don't forget courting death.
    I know my first novels were Spice and Wolf and SAO but those were on Bakatsuki

    Uh the first novel I think I read was only sense online lmaoooo because I got into the manga and wanted to read more. Someone in the comments section back then had also brought up a site where I had first read the manga Novelupdates was less famous too back then and novels in general weren't really updated much unless you read in webnovel or some other random site like Wattpad lmao.

    I was reading novels before I found NUF so this wasn't my first actual novel. but one of the first if not the first novel that I started reading after finding this site was Tales of Demons and Gods by one accursed 'Mad Snail'

    suffice to say, I now hold a terrible grudge against the entirety of the snail race because of this one bad apple of theirs. :blobdevil:

    Wattpad was very famous back then, though i don't have a good impression of the site desu~ (more on a the people who use it gave a bad impression)

    I've read the manga of that and stopped, did the novel turn out pretty bad desu~?
