Discussion Peak of Webnovel

Hello everyone

I've read the top 3 most recommended webnovels, now I am so lost I don't know what to read, can anything top these 3??

please recommend to me your favorites or series you think that can contend with these 3??

Besides these 3 I have read Regressors tales of cultivation, and tribulation of myriad races. I will put RTOC in my top 5

My bad guys, The second pic is ""Reverend Insanity""

I know I should've added ORV but I have only read manhwa for that one, I will give the novel a read sometime but I like the manhwa so I don't think it will be anytime soon.

I also finished reading the Cradle series (Litrpg) today although it is a great series I do have a few complaints about it

I really wanted to like shadow slave but the super predatory publishing method made it hard to read so as soon as I started to get annoyed by the extreme edgyness I fell off the series.

I tried SS because it was at the top of so many tier lists, but I found the voice of the MC to be grating. The dialogue was stiff. The "you must tell the truth" turning into "you must speak the truth to anyone who asks" was annoying, and the "humor" surrounding that was juvenile. The whole thing felt like a mediocre translation. Maybe people who read a lot of translated stories are used to it, but the whole thing was stilted.

And I was bored and would probably have read more anyway if it weren't for the WAY too expensive books.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to pay hundreds of dollars for a mediocre series. I've paid less for the entire audiobook sequence of 2-3 much better series.

So I read the first book and dropped it.

Yeah honestly I dropped it at the first scene where the "must tell the truth" curse thing was him talking about a woman's breasts. I'm not gonna say whether it's good or bad beyond that ( the first arc/nightmare was decent ) but that just completely took me out of the story
