After ten years of reading web novels, I’ve found some pleasant surprises and some real stinkers. I hope to sample the wild variety for fellow readers, separate the unusual gems from the rest, and share what I find.
This list evaluates books I’ve actually read across five dimensions: writing, plot, setting, characters, and ideas. Each is scored out of 10. These ratings are based entirely on my personal impressions and may not reflect the views of most readers. If you disagree...
Sure, sure. You’re right about everything.
Books marked “Invited to Review” all receive a provisional score of 30 and a cautious recommendation. Please keep that in mind.
Update log: 20250609 I found out the list description has a character limit, so there’s no room for more update logs. I’ll have to stop adding them, but that won’t affect updates to the list itself 😂
20260414 I found that negative reviews tend to draw negative reviews, since not many people want to admit they just ate shit. I’ve removed all instances of “not recommended.” A low score may still have its merits, so use your own judgment.

The gloomy house is filled with unknown weirdness, and criminals who are good at hiding are active.
Yu Xing held a dagger and looked like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of the bosses.
There was a tugging sound in the attic, as if something was crawling. The temporary teammates said, "Go and explore the attic."
Yu Xing: "Okay..."
The way out is blocked by monsters. Temporary teammates: "Go and attract the monsters. Go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to survive now."
Yu Xing: "I'm going, I'm going, don't kill me."
At the end of the deduction game...
[The deduction is over, the truth of the case is restored to 100%, the MVP deduction is this time - Yu Xing]

A regular teammate who knows everything: "What did the captain do outside again!"
Weirdness is growing, madness is whispering, and we are constantly traveling through unknown places.
Danger lurks in the world like a shadow.
Some people persevere, some are desperate, some are crazy, and some...
"What, the pancakes I ate in the morning had the blood of a crazy beast in it?"
"This book hides twisted knowledge?"
"Were those things at night real, not dreams?"
"That's what, it's not that I don't believe it, it's that I want to open my eyes. Can you perform those again?" Xia Yanzhen thought for a moment and felt that he had read a lot and others couldn't deceive him.
This is an extremely dark world.
The Emperor walked the earth, trying to restore the glory of the Empire.
But the fate of mankind has long been toyed with by evil gods.
In the precarious future, there is only endless darkness and war.
Until——
The Death Guard named Hades appears.
The threads of fate are intertwined. Can the existence from the outside world reverse the tragedy destined for thousands of sentient beings?
The gods placed their bets.
But Hades doesn't know this at the moment. He is crying like a fart whose toes have been stepped on.
"Help!!! Why is this the world of Warhammer?!"
"Also, why am I a Death Guard?!!"
"Is it too late to kill yourself and start again?!"
It's a funny novel, and the nerdy male protagonist travels to the world of grimdark, where he wanders around with his legs broken and crying like a bastard.

Hao Ren, as his name suggests, is a good man. His ideal is to live a peaceful life and be a small landlord who is not very poor but cannot make a fortune - at least until a bunch of crazy creatures live in his house.
A remote and old house, a bunch of abnormal alien creatures, and a labor contract from "gods". The three elements combined made Hao Ren the busiest landlord and the most capable nanny in the world. The story of the most chaotic, strange and abnormal room landlord begins here.
"From the day I pressed my thumbprint on the labor contract, I knew I was on a pirate ship..."
A smart and handsome boy accidentally traveled to Hokkaido and met a calm, intelligent black-length reasoning girl. In this world where the Japanese police is known as the "salary-only gang", they joined forces with clever deductions and deductions to solve countless suspenseful problems...

By chance, he accidentally met a stupid reasoning girl who was known as the "Intelligence Manager of Higashi Tamamachi" and the "Future Detective Detective", and then he squeezed the fool out of her with a kind face.
When you wake up, you find yourself in the end of the tower, where humans live in the tower and there are monsters outside the tower. And you can see strange notes in your eyes:
[There are two villains hidden 1,600 meters away. When you are extremely angry, you can feed them with a shovel.
[Before you think about steaming, cooking or frying, it's best to touch its left pocket. Don't get into the bad habit of killing monsters without licking the bag.
[There are actually people staring at your face. I admit that your face is very interesting. If I were a human being, I would give you a 9. Of course, I would give you a 97.
[The other party is a big boss who is much higher than you. Let me give you three suggestions: kneel down and lick, kneel down and lick, or kneel down and lick. Weakness? No, I am just a small remark with limited abilities.
The tower that symbolizes the pearl of the apocalypse, the deformed monster outside the tower attracted by evil thoughts, the gamble of the superior, the danger of the explorer, and the traps in the apocalypse are all presented in a naughty style under your eyes.

[You are fearful, and fear is the food of all strange things, and attracts them.
Xu Le:?
Are you even allowed to shrink your legs?
In a slightly flustered mood, Xu Le quickly lit a fire.
Light emerges.
[The light intensity inside the house is 4, it is currently bright and safe.
Xu Le just breathed a sigh of relief and realized that this was just the beginning.
Twisted flames form new words!
[There is a corpse in the house. It has been dead for more than 4 hours. The corpse will become level 1 weird in 10 minutes.
[The house is currently in a dilapidated state, and a level 1 weirdness will appear in 14 minutes and 56 seconds at 0:00 midnight.

On that day, thick fog blocked everything.
On that day, he became the captain of a ghost ship.
On that day, he stepped through the thick fog and faced a world that had been completely overturned and fragmented - the order of the past was gone. Weird phenomena dominated the endless sea areas outside of civilized society.
