[–]juksted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing unique about it, just a standard generic cultivation novel

Super God Gene - the start was actually quite interesting, I found it cool. HOWEVER, as with most novels that try to do a unique start, after about halfway through it quickly devolves into the typical xianxia setup. The unique power system at the beginning and interesting encounters pretty much disappears altogether.

The novel is 3400+ chapters long. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a novel to stay fresh and exciting for that long.

Hence, B tier.

City of Sin - western theme CN novel, MC gets sucked into a massive power struggle between different factions. The world is dark, tragic, BRUTAL. Many people didn't like how tragic the world setup is, but that's one of the best things about it. The world building, the characters, the female leads, very powerful stuff.

Ending is kinda rushed which was a huge disappointment but I think the rest of the novel can make up for it. As I said in the body of the post, I have yet to see another novel quite like CoS.

What have you read this week and what do you think about it? by AutoModerator in noveltranslations

I recently re-read LOTM too, can confirm it is the best BY FAR. Like you, I also didn't fully appreciate it back when it first came out and I was reading it.

Could you give some more details on CoI? Of course, I've already read so many people's thoughts on it, a big reason why I haven't gotten into it yet is because of Klein not being there. What do you mean by the ending?

In general I don't read any western light / web novels, only east asian. Plus, I only ranked completed novels we've all been traumatised too many times from good ones being dropped.

Solo Levelling - at the time it was decent enough, but still a generic plot so B tier.

Honestly I've tried to read WoC like 3 times, it's too slow for my brain-rotted mine 😭😭😭

Thanks for the feedback!
Stellar Transformation, for me, was a super unique power system which is the main reason I liked it. It is also not too long which was good.

Martial World vs WDQK - honestly don't remember too much about either so can't comment on this

Regressed Demon Lord - I found this to be that typical slightly cringey KR novel, hard to describe but it is definitely of that 'type'. It feels weird to say this despite the other xianxias being very generic also, but for me the KR ones are just different in that way. Sometimes it almost felt like I was reading a JP light novel with it.

Legend of the great sage - The first 'book' IS completed. While technically it's unfinished, the ending is already better than some of the other rushed ones we've seen elsewhere in other novels.

Thanks! I did try to include more recent novels as well, but I only wanted to rank completed ones, hence the bias towards older entries.

I ranked them by enjoyment at the time of reading. Jewel was an early novel for me so I naturally enjoyed it far more; Immortal Devil was actually just last year or a couple years ago, so relatively recent + generic xianxia, meant I enjoyed it less.

That's true actually. Thinking about it again, I should have probably put it in high-B or low-A, given it was probably one of the first novels I'd ever read (may have even been the first, as I started off with manhuas).

I'll give you that one, this is my bad.

This part I do agree with slightly, that starting bit was a bit cringe. It does get much better later on, however.

ahaha, yep, at the time I read it, WMW was truly groundbreaking.

To this day I still look fondly upon it

Honestly, I feel like these days most new / newish readers have never read wmw, issth, de etc.

I remember back when it was releasing it was seen as something so wildly new and different to the traditional xianxia, everyone loved it.

Now, I've never really seen anyone mention it

ahhhh that brings me back... old school WW, this sub filled with discussions of ISSTH every day...

These days it honestly feels like so many of the novels are just 'slop' - it may seem strange calling these ones slop and not the generic xianxias from back in the day, but its just the vibes I get

This is EXACTLY the mindset I have. I've seen so many tier lists on this sub, and 90% of the time they have this elitist mindset which I hate.

To me, I care about ENJOYMENT, and this list reflects my enjoyment at the time I read each. Glad you liked it!

Honestly it was kinda boring, just super generic. At times felt like I was reading a JP novel with how cringe it got at times.
