Finally had some more time to read, picked up books mostly on Kindle Unlimited with some exceptions on Novel Updates.
Stuff in bold is stuff I really like and can recommend, stuff italicized is stuff I'm not sure about but you should probably read anyway.
Picked up
Arcane Ascension: (Kindle)
LitRPG, School, Dungeon/tower
Story had a pretty decent hook in the beginning, characters are decently fleshed out although I do hope book 2 has more character development.
The MC is a recovering loner with interesting family dynamics due to an unfortunate grandfather, militant father, and a missing brother.
I would have enjoyed this story more if I read it in chunks as the author is trying to create something new with depth and that ruined a bit of the immersion for me.
After reading 2/3 of the story I took a break and read other stuff before coming back to it and the last 1/3 was very enjoyable; then again the last bit was mostly plot development instead of world building.
Completionist Chronicles: (Kindle)
LitRPG, cleric?, puns?
Same author as the Divine Dungeon series linked below.
Compared to the Divine Dungeon series this story is much more enjoyable since the MC is human and already has a personality.
Divine Dungeon: (Kindle)
Dungeon core, cultivation, puns?
Pretty interesting premise but it is my first dungeon core story; story is pretty good and told in the POV of two MC's, a dungeon (Cal) and some shepherd who learns to cultivate.
In book 1 Cal is still developing as he was just Born which made it slightly more difficult to get into due to not much character development but the different POV's makes things easier to read. If you're okay with book 1 which was enjoyable but focused more on setting the foundation of the story then you should like books 2 and 3 much more.
Awaken Online: (Kindle)
LitRPG, Anti-hero?, Necromancy, glass cannon
A bit of an aside but this really made me feel nostalgic for Legendary Moonlight Sculptor even though there isn't much in common.
The prologue set the tone for the the story and while it could be too soon to tell I'd say he's only mostly anti-hero.
Story is a bit cliched and there isn't much tension but it's pretty well written and does a nice job overall differentiating itself.
Fields of Gold
Mild Mary Sue, hunting, isekai, reverse harem?
Phew, finally have something to fill the void that is Volare. (Even though I have 3 other novels I'm bulking up to binge later)
Just when I think I'm free of all food porn from previous completed novels they ambush me with this. y u do dis /u/Etvolare (and Myst), some of y'all have gotta be foodies and I'm concerned it's a criteria in novel selection.
Another Mary Sue story with hints of a reverse harem but that's probably unlikely. Her immediate family loves her but everyone else.. fuck 'em, except for maybe that one gentle aunt.
The S-Classes That I Raised
Time rewind, yandere, taming
Weak asshole MC turns over a new leaf with his time travel and patches things up with his younger more OP brother.
Ascend Online (Kindle)
LitRPG, Crafting, taming
Solid story but it's a bit average, pretty good read overall but character development is kinda weak.
I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire
Mecha, "anti-hero", ^^^ha! futuristic, isekai, misunderstandings, long life span
MC gets betrayed pretty badly by his wife due to the involvement of a third party who gets off on the grief and misery of others. MC reincarnates to another world and is mistrustful of women, gets abandoned by his parents and ends up doing some territory management in the pursuit of being evil later.
Demon King, Retry!
Overpowered, loli, misunderstandings, territory management?
Think of this as a more lighthearted, shallower take on Overlord for a younger audience, maybe.
A Demon Lord’s Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss
Non-harem harem?, Wish fulfillment
Strong MC with a soft spot for ladies.
***
Still reading
Trash of the Count’s Family
Restaurant seems to be going well, some more of Cale's background is being very slowly teased through the story which makes it all the more understandable he wants to chill.
Ascending, Do Not Disturb
Apparently another story where cuteness is justice regardless of gender; two justices have been unlocked so far: cuteness and deliciousness.
The Beloved Imperial Consort
Strict mother and chill father? That'll be a fun baby, smart little monkey.
Lucia
Lucia is hangry and the damn grapes aren't in season yet.
The hubby is gonna have some serious blue balls if he doesn't find something to busy himself with.
Assassin Farmer
The assassin organization has changed hands with the death of the idiot boss.
MC has plenty of people waiting on her now (much to her distaste) and new house(s) are being built for her and her hubby's brothers.
*
Edit**: forgot to add the Arcane Ascension series and labeled the ones on Kindle Unlimited.
The Dao of Magic is a more westernized type cultivation story. The Dao of Magic has some pretty interesting ideas, and for the most part is a great read. It is not without its flaws though, but they give the story character in their own way.
Unsouled is the first book in an ongoing series of wuxia/xianxia inspired books that is released on Amazon. I feel it is really well written, though I got bored halfway through the released books. It's still great, it's just hard for books to keep my interest, and is nothing against the author/story.
I haven't really read many English stories that are purely wuxia/xianxia though, but I have noticed wuxia influence in all manner of fantasy webnovels nowadays. I know there are many more wuxia/xianxia original English stories though; I just can't think of them off the top of my head.
Originally they were free to read but now only the 4th year of the story is free. I hadn't found the first three years for free anymore you might have a better chance but here is the link any way
And then here is the free fourth year
I quite enjoyed the highly derivative but original English language story The Slime Dungeon available on Amazon for 4 bucks or so. People usually post free unauthorized translations on this subreddit but this story is a definite fit for what you're asking and well worth a couple bucks if you have them to spend on a book.
If you're willing to spend $8 and have an Amazon account, I may have something you will like. I made a post about it recently giving some of my opinions as well as the synopsis and link to it here.
I'll also link you to the first 2 boxsets, which individually cost $4, however I highly recommend you try them out before judging the series as the initial episodes contained in them give a lot of information on where the series is going and a good idea of what to expect from it.
Star Force: Origin Series Box Set (1-4)
Star Force: Origin Series Box Set (5-8)
If you do try the series out, please do let me know what you think at some point. I'm quite interested, as I am a huge fan of the series and own all the episodes for it individually. Same goes for anyone else reading this :D
Seeing as how I basically spent my free time throughout the majority of my middle and high school years on this website (just reading, I assure you), I figured I could add a few not-too-shabby recommendations. Keep in mind these are rather old since I stopped trying to find NEW authors some time in high school. These are the ones I've bookmarked, but I've gone through so many in Sci-Fi/Fantasy that I'm almost certainly missing many other stories worth reading.
I can't really see any translated novels that I read and someone else hasn't already recommended, but here are a few English ones:
Worm, it's a completed web novel with a lot of chapters. Although I dropped it halfway through, I think it's a really good read (and has tons of good fanfics as well).
Daniel Black (book)
Contractor (book)
https://www.amazon.com/Planetoid-One-Forest-D-P-Markowitz-ebook/dp/B07PZ8ZPJX/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=planetoid+volume+1&qid=1568093153&s=gateway&sr=8-4 This was my first published light novel and with it I aimed to combine my favorite influences, the epic fantasy of Mononoke and the colorful characters, wholesome fun and humor of Avatar the Last Airbender. Hope I did my job but it's up to readers to decide that :)
I am back, and I intend to stay that way, all the way until the completion of the third book and beyond! Sorry about my 4 month disappearance, to cut a long story short I have something called bipolar disorder and can be rather erratic because of it. I know it doesn't excuse me from disappearing but it is an explanation.
Either way, I'm back now and with some pretty massive news! First, you can now buy an edited and fully compiled version of the first book on amazon! I know it's rather late, but it was something I could actually focus on doing while I was dead to the world. I've also got a MASSIVE present for you, that of 9 chapters tonight and another one tomorrow! WOW RIGHT?
Also if you feel like chilling with me and chatting with me while I write, I'm going to be streaming my writing during the mornings my time. I know it's not the best time for all of you, but if you feel like popping in and saying hello I would much appreciate your feedback! You can find me on twitch here. Anyway, here's the chapter dump!
Just remembered Fimbulwinter: Daniel Black Book 1. No Qi but the MC's goal is simply to survive the end of the world. Collects a merry band of follwers along the way. It is a good read and somewhat fits.
The Daniel Black books are pretty good. Unfortunately there are only three at the moment.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Fimbulwinter-Daniel-Black-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00KZ41LHM
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22500562-fimbulwinter
It's about a man who has a string of bad luck and at his bedside at the hospital a goddess from another world appears and offers him a new life if he will become the guardian for her last priestess and keep her alive in the apocalypse.
I like how he uses magic in the universe, always experimenting and coming up with new inventions.
Try some LitRpg? The Way of the Shaman is pretty good. I'm waiting for the 3rd book to finish being translated.
Daniel Black series has some similarities. 1, 2, 3. That MC is using magic to re-create modern marvels, during an apocalypse, after being brought to another world, oh and he is protecting witches... There are a lot of similarities and the story is very interesting so I would suggest reading it.
Lol true that.
For everyone on this thread looking for LitRPG, my first book just came out: ttps://www.amazon.com/Delvers-LLC-Welcome-Blaise-Corvin-ebook/dp/B01M0U4B3S/
You can also find a list of LitRPG stories in my group on RRL: http://royalroadl.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=83267
A few things things.
One, the wuxia novels translated (such as Little Li's Dagger) are NOT webnovels, these are published print novels.
Two, as far as I am aware the earliest OFFICIAL modern wuxia translation is the John Minford translation of 鹿鼎记, 'The Deer and the Cauldron' by Jinyong in 1997. Again, however, this is a published NOVEL, not a webnovel, albeit all of Jinyong's classic wuxia novels are very long.
Three, it is incredibly hard to date the earliest 'fan' translation, and there were actually 'revisions' of spcnet that resulted in old translations coming down, as well as forums before SPC as well.
If we're talking "officially" translated rather than fan-translated, then there are older works.
The Deer and the Cauldron and Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain are two wuxia novels that were published in the 90s, for example.
***
And you could also consider classics like Journey to the West (xianxia-esque, first published in abridged form in the 40s), Water Margin (wuxia, first published in the 30s apparently), and Romance of the Three Kingdoms (wuxia-esque, a single chapter was first translated all the way back in 1907 apparently).
