I’ve picked out what I consider high-quality books in each category, based on my impressions. Since some time has passed, I’ve probably left out quite a few. But I just write down whatever comes to mind. The order is based on memory, so some older books may not measure up to today’s standards, but they made a strong impression on me at the time. The ranking also reflects my personal tastes, so take it with a grain of salt. Logical, coherent storytelling is my most basic requirement. My other preferences are more complicated. Later on, I generally lean toward books with a brighter, happier overall tone, but in the end it mostly comes down to a feeling. Books of the same type are generally ordered by quality: A ≥ B ≥ C, and so on. A line break indicates a lower tier, so the books below can serve as alternatives. In order, I’ve divided them into several categories: cultivation fantasy, farming stories, hot-blooded chuunibyou, invincible protagonists, slice of life, sweet romance, historical fiction, supernatural fiction, and books I don’t know how to classify. Use this as a guide to find books in order. Still updating...
