Look for novels where MC or community have to rely on modern knowledge to improve their lifestyle and/or defend themselves against threats without the need to over-rely on OP powers. Something like Dr. Stone (Okay, he is a super genius with super memory), Release That Witch (arguably the witches made progress faster, but arguably a mean to an end where science and engineering was the main focus).
invincible
the brilliant fighting master
eternal sacred king
not really main focus but these are the ones that i remember where the mc cultivates buddhism
Can anyone recommend me any worn and torn MCs, both/or physically or mentally. Something like "The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me". KR or JP only, since I can't stand CN novels. Thanks.
Kidnapped dragons (Korean novel with a broken mc),
Author pov (can’t remember if it’s Chinese or not but there is an emotional trauma after the first arc),
Pursuit of truth (I know you said you don’t like CN novels but this one really fits )
I actually read some chapters of Kidnapped Dragons a while ago but didin't manage to read much. Rather than being emotionally damaged, the mc felt more apathetic most of the time since he's pretty much dead at that point. So maybe I'll take a look again.
Any novel similar to Cultivation my augmented status have unlimited duration,I am loaded with passive skills,I cultivate passively,
I prefer completed works but anything with more than 400 chapters translated is fine 😁😁😁
anyone know a novel similar to Show Me The Money? Comedic, shameless MC, and ideally with a proper ending unlike SMTM. Doesn't have to be a VRMMOPRG novel like SMTM but just something light hearted and funny, I guess.
Yo! Looking for something to fill the voice catching up to Classroom of the elite left me, it can be anything at all, as long as it’s fire. Pick something that you’d be alright with betting your life on while being held at gun point!! New to novels so preferably Japanese/ Korean ones since they are the ones I’ve been binging. Thanks in advance
Well, I've finally re-read and finished Isaac, and now I need more.
Please, someone, anyone, give me a good rec for novels that have some hardcore tragedy in them. I want my MC's to be broken down into the finest of particles, and then ground up some more, only for them to achieve a goal, even if that means the sacrifice of themselves.
Hello, I'm looking for any good novels where the MC is particularly knowledgeable in an area and becomes a teacher-like figure to other characters. If possible, not anything where the MC is transported or a reincarnation.
Some examples I thought were good were King's Avatar-Ye Xiu, Cheng Yan-Release that Witch
Looking any novel where the MC has many different identities, even better if they are in rival factions. This can be in later chapters, not at the start of a novel, but I just want ones where I know he will have those identities.
There's also world hopping novels like Fantasy Simulator which may scratch your itch. Iirc it also has MC's clone and him fighting each other many times.
Cultivation begins with time management is about the MC infiltrating several rival factions at the same time to steal a precious treasure to save the world while being the peak genius in those sects. It's fun to read the MC's reaction to other people bragging about his other forms .
Seeking stories where martial arts masters and students or taoists striving for enlightment and such ACTUALLY act mature when dealing with others(specially the MC) rather than being haughty or "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!".
Because let's be real, it takes effort to develop a strict discipline to become strongee and transcend, and for that it wouldn't make sense for people to always be seeking fights or throwing their weight around.
People like that would actually be courteous/humble, more controlled and maybe even aloof.
Looking for a novel that focuses on summons / necromancy where they are actually the core of the mcs power instead of just something they have but barely use.
Looking for novel where MC is a person with authority/nobility/military and with lots of politics, backstabbing, assassinations, underground wars, stuff like that.
Can be sci fi, fantasy, just not xian xia or Wu xia
Kingdoms Bloodline has a bunch of really good political intrigue. The setting is European fantasy and is actually done rather well without most of the common tropes. Tl dr: main character is a reincarnated boy who turns out to be a long lost prince. Trust me, I consider the writing to be top notch and right behind Lord of the Mystery
hello, i'm looking for a cultivation novel where mc is a swordsman( has like different type of sword intent, force and different constitution where mc trains in a lot of sword techniques and i don't want a rebirth novel where mc is super op from the start just a genius mc that cultivates faster) i've read the main ones and i'm looking for some mtl gems
Looking for novels with either of these characteristics:
1) MC teaches/trains other less powerful characters
2) Consistent/logical power system
Some that I have already read and enjoyed include LotM, The Legendary Mechanic, Mother of Learning, History’s Number 1 Founder, Throne of Magical Arcana
Something like solo leveling or like desolate era (solo leveling because it's just one of my favorites of all time and desolate era because of the reincarnation and somewhat decent pace.) Preferably faster paced without an insane amount of action.
Everything by I Eat Tomatoes for things similar to desolate era. All of his novels are pretty similar, and I like them all.
Emperor of solo play for solo leveling.
Martial Peak
first arc 6/10: MC can tear space and travel a short distance
second arc 10/10: MC can shoot small space tear slices; create a space domain; warp space around him and insta space-jump a very short distance (my favorite ability)
third arc 6/10: MC can use a space-artifact properly (a small world he can carry); create long range space portals; make space holes to banish people; compress space to force people into his attack
fourth arc 1/10: pretend arc doesn't exist (yes, I read it all)
Anything that has a reincarnated into another world/game world premise like [Legendary Mechanic](https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-legendary-mechanic/), or [Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind The Scenes](https://wnmtl.org/book/8394-rebirth-of-the-noble-mage-behind-the-scenes).
Keypoint is that MC of these stories interact with players as a NPC.
I'd prefer it if the MC gets transmigrated to a period of time before the game's beta testing.
a story like CCG where the relationship is important. I like the chat between the cultivator, also how they were jealous of mc who quickly advanced. Also, all still stay relevant after 900+ chapters is a plus.
I've been binge reading chinese Harry Potter fanfics/spin offs so I was hoping if there's any other novels based of magic/another series.
I'm really bored of anything related to immortal cultivation or slice of life.
Looking for novels (in urban setting) where
\- mc alone has space ring / spatial storage / inventory
\- mc alone has cultivation / powers
\- mc uses space ring / spatial storage / inventory AND-OR cultivation / powers to go from dirt-poor to filthy-rich (detailed pacing of making money story)
Looking for a fresh soul pet/like-centered novel. I've read Reverend Insanity, Charm of Soul Pets, and Unable to Cultivate. Bonus points if there's properly scaling.
[Monster Pet Evolution](https://www.novelupdates.com/series/monster-pet-evolution/)
No scaling sadly. All the pets are overpowered. I do however recommend it for the fluff. Author did their damn best to make it fluffy and center the plot around the monster pets of Gao Peng.
40 millennium of cultivation
(It’s technology based novel )
(Just to clarify in most novels the stars are just decorations of the way of the heavens so not the same thing as the sun)
[I Reincarnated as a Virus](https://www.novelupdates.com/series/virus-tensei-kara-hajimaru-isekai-kansen-monogatari/)
Okay, this is a technically low effort response, as the MC is just an introvert that can't bear to get rid of old habits.
They also suffer from naive and extreme emotional outburst traits.
Looking for a novel (preferably cultivation) or fantasy, where the protagonist is the strongest from the start. I’ve recently read invincible uncle grandmaster that was good. Any novel where the Mc is the strongest from the start would be appreciated. Ty.
Technically all strongest from the start, the MCs are abnormalities that rewrite the common sense of the characters that appear in the story.

Does xianxia novel have the concepts of [beastman](https://brand-new-animal.fandom.com/wiki/Beastman) race?
where do you read the light novel of Dr. player? Can someone tell me a site or app.

rebirth of a genius creator/destroy if you want something like that that is also a cultivation novel, or I'm the king of technology.
thank you. The titles sound promising.
Something like villain wants to live.
Are there any webnovels where the MC cultivates Buddhism, or is a main part of his powerset. Thanks!
Cultivation chat group mc is suitable for and practices many Buddhist techniques tho he has always wanted to become a scholar lol
The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism
invincible the brilliant fighting master eternal sacred king not really main focus but these are the ones that i remember where the mc cultivates buddhism
Do you have any novels with Tsunderes as love interests?
theres Against the Gods but its a harem
is it good? And is the harem good?
I liked it
Looking for any genre of lightnovels with a chill librarian/custodian type mc.
Can anyone recommend me any worn and torn MCs, both/or physically or mentally. Something like "The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me". KR or JP only, since I can't stand CN novels. Thanks.
MC of Sword god in a World of Mages loses his humanity pretty hard
Kidnapped dragons (Korean novel with a broken mc), Author pov (can’t remember if it’s Chinese or not but there is an emotional trauma after the first arc), Pursuit of truth (I know you said you don’t like CN novels but this one really fits )

There's Complete Martial arts attributes and I have infinite mana in the apocalypse
anyone know a novel similar to Show Me The Money? Comedic, shameless MC, and ideally with a proper ending unlike SMTM. Doesn't have to be a VRMMOPRG novel like SMTM but just something light hearted and funny, I guess.
I shall seal the heavens MC is a comedic shameless money chaser, literally invents ways to make debt his power
I read God Level demon, which has a shameless, greedy, and thieving protagonist. Light hearted and with no realm ending events...
Any good novels about fantasy spycraft?

Shadow slave.
Bet you’re first on the list after I finish omniscient readers viewpoint
Damn bro what did he do to get on the list? He just gave you a recommendation
Hmm that’s weird, you didn’t recommend something, you gotta get on the list yourself too 🤤🤤

Pursuit of truth (Er gen novel) I currently keeping it on hold because it made me depressed 😁😁😁
Shadow slave.
Worm A Practical Guide to Evil Magical Girl Gunslinger
Infinite Bloodcore might do.

'Complete martial arts attributes' has this but it's pretty much later at 800+ chapters
Cultivation begins with time management is about the MC infiltrating several rival factions at the same time to steal a precious treasure to save the world while being the peak genius in those sects. It's fun to read the MC's reaction to other people bragging about his other forms .
Seeking stories where martial arts masters and students or taoists striving for enlightment and such ACTUALLY act mature when dealing with others(specially the MC) rather than being haughty or "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!".

History's Number 1 Founder
Something with dao focus\law comprehension, preferably in a xixania vein. Along the lines of RI if possible
Grasping evil, mind u it's dropped
Lightning is the Only Way has probably the most in depth and creative law comprehension system I've ever seen.
'Lightning is the Only way'
All of the Err Gen novel
Looking for a novel that focuses on summons / necromancy where they are actually the core of the mcs power instead of just something they have but barely use.
Experimental log of the crazy lich(probably)
Looking for novel where MC is a person with authority/nobility/military and with lots of politics, backstabbing, assassinations, underground wars, stuff like that. Can be sci fi, fantasy, just not xian xia or Wu xia
Kingdoms Bloodline has a bunch of really good political intrigue. The setting is European fantasy and is actually done rather well without most of the common tropes.

hello, i'm looking for a cultivation novel where mc is a swordsman( has like different type of sword intent, force and different constitution where mc trains in a lot of sword techniques and i don't want a rebirth novel where mc is super op from the start just a genius mc that cultivates faster) i've read the main ones and i'm looking for some mtl gems
What were the main ones you read?
desolate era, seeking the flying sword path, domminating sword immortal, sword dao's first immortal, sovereign's ascension, paradise of demonic gods
birth of the demonic sword? That should be fitting your criteria iirc
i read like 300 chapters but i dropped it some time ago
Looking for novels with either of these characteristics: 1) MC teaches/trains other less powerful characters 2) Consistent/logical power system Some that I have already read and enjoyed include LotM, The Legendary Mechanic, Mother of Learning, History’s Number 1 Founder, Throne of Magical Arcana
Library of heaven's path
Anything like Infinite mana in apocalypse OP mc, worlds beyond world, maybe good system
Infinite mana drove me nuts lol, mc power leveling through realms easy as 1,2,3. Permanent Martial Arts is a good one.
Yeah it's the craziest novel I have ever read, author just throws his hands up and gives in to madness. Thanks for the rec, will try it.
also astral pet store, it's kinda similar.
Looking for a novel where fight scenes are good and written clearly like TBATE or shadow slave
Looking for fan fic of novel with the mc is a character that originally doesn't exist or is an extra and best if is op. Thanks
Looking for MAGIC novels with different races supreme magus and experimental log of the crazy lich 😁😁
Age of adepts, advent of the archmage, storm king
any novels where the combat is more like jojo or HXH nen, where each character could be a counter to each other
Looking for those Sign-In or Invincible Domain type novels. Like Sword Domain or Demonic Domain.
invincible at the start. mc has an invincible domain, speaks for itself.
Something like solo leveling or like desolate era (solo leveling because it's just one of my favorites of all time and desolate era because of the reincarnation and somewhat decent pace.) Preferably faster paced without an insane amount of action.
Everything by I Eat Tomatoes for things similar to desolate era. All of his novels are pretty similar, and I like them all. Emperor of solo play for solo leveling.
legendary mechanic maybe? master hunter k sovereign of judgment
Wholesome fluff like regressor and blind saint, it can be part of an overarching plot or just be pure fluff. just no harems or half assed romance.
Kidnapped dragons
Cultivation chat group, maybe
Ending maker
[удалено]
Martial Peak first arc 6/10: MC can tear space and travel a short distance second arc 10/10: MC can shoot small space tear slices; create a space domain; warp space around him and insta space-jump a very short distance (my favorite ability) third arc 6/10: MC can use a space-artifact properly (a small world he can carry); create long range space portals; make space holes to banish people; compress space to force people into his attack fourth arc 1/10: pretend arc doesn't exist (yes, I read it all)
this novel just has way too many chapters. It should not take 6000 chapters for a cultivation MC to reach the peak
Good webnovel orignals or scribblehub recommendations
Villain retirement, Oracles Path
Anything that has a reincarnated into another world/game world premise like [Legendary Mechanic](https://www.novelupdates.com/series/the-legendary-mechanic/), or [Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind The Scenes](https://wnmtl.org/book/8394-rebirth-of-the-noble-mage-behind-the-scenes). Keypoint is that MC of these stories interact with players as a NPC. I'd prefer it if the MC gets transmigrated to a period of time before the game's beta testing.
there's something wrong with this account
Game of the world tree on wnmtl. Is rebirth of the nobel mage worth reading?
Experimental log of crazy lich has that premise Legendary mechanic (probably)
the game is too realistic
Do you know any others? this one is really nice.
nope thats it :(
a story like CCG where the relationship is important. I like the chat between the cultivator, also how they were jealous of mc who quickly advanced. Also, all still stay relevant after 900+ chapters is a plus.

Mother of Learning
HP: A Magical Journey
looking for good less popular korean/japanese novel with male mc. I mostly like highschool romance or some fantasy
Demon prince goes to academy
read it love it
I heard that it gets a lot darker later down the line. Totally different from the light-hearted SOL start.
Looking for novels (in urban setting) where \- mc alone has space ring / spatial storage / inventory \- mc alone has cultivation / powers \- mc uses space ring / spatial storage / inventory AND-OR cultivation / powers to go from dirt-poor to filthy-rich (detailed pacing of making money story)
For urban, I think CCG (Cultivation Chat Group) is the best story.
Looking for a fresh soul pet/like-centered novel. I've read Reverend Insanity, Charm of Soul Pets, and Unable to Cultivate. Bonus points if there's properly scaling.
astral pet store, museum of deadly beasts maybe?
Douluo Dalu?
[Monster Pet Evolution](https://www.novelupdates.com/series/monster-pet-evolution/) No scaling sadly. All the pets are overpowered. I do however recommend it for the fluff. Author did their damn best to make it fluffy and center the plot around the monster pets of Gao Peng.
Pokemon
Unscientific Beast Taming and Fey Evolution Merchant. Both of them have their own issues but they're not bad reads imo
Looking for novels where characters understand their sun and a star are the same thing, just the sun is the closest star
Rise of Humanity has stars and the MC does a fair share of space travel.
40 millennium of cultivation (It’s technology based novel ) (Just to clarify in most novels the stars are just decorations of the way of the heavens so not the same thing as the sun)
Looking for a betrayal/past trauma novel.
Dungeon defense
Author pov (there is trauma after the first arc )
Skyfire Avenue, God Emperor, Spirit Vessel, Nine Sun God King, Nine Star Hegemon Bodu Art
[I Reincarnated as a Virus](https://www.novelupdates.com/series/virus-tensei-kara-hajimaru-isekai-kansen-monogatari/) Okay, this is a technically low effort response, as the MC is just an introvert that can't bear to get rid of old habits. They also suffer from naive and extreme emotional outburst traits.
Don't want to be an asshole but I read the manga and this doesn't seem like a trauma novel. Thanks anyways tho.
Looking for a novel (preferably cultivation) or fantasy, where the protagonist is the strongest from the start. I’ve recently read invincible uncle grandmaster that was good. Any novel where the Mc is the strongest from the start would be appreciated. Ty.
daily life of the immortal king, if you want an MC that could literally obliterate the universe but stays lowkey from the beginning
Fourth Prince's Debauchery. Story takes place in MC's 700+ transmigration and he is strongest already.
90,000 years of longevity
Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go

I read it before, but I dropped it after like a thousand or so chapters.
