[World-Class Below the Neck] A Tiered Guide to the Best Web Novels
Welcome, fellow readers! Here's the information I can share for now: "World-class below the neck" is a joke describing athletes with strong bodies but simple minds. Since this list mainly introduces works that aren't "top-tier," they're also "below the neck." The idea of recommending excellent books is also close to the meaning of "world-class," hence the title. This list focuses on high-quality works with content and standout features but relatively little name recognition, introducing hidden
Interesting Books with Distinctive Takes and No System
Books I'm currently reading that I find interesting, aren't dumbed down, and don't have a System. All kinds of genres. Updated regularly!
Tales of the Strange
Mostly supernatural fiction, like fantasy and dark fairy tales. There are quite a few obscure novels here. I have pretty particular tastes, but I'll recommend books I think are well-written and better than average. I can be picky, so don't be surprised if I drop a book. The list has limited space, so I'll add and remove books as needed.
