So as of lately, I've gotten quite bored of the endless repetitive translated novels and started reading more and more Originals, but trying to find gems under that huge pile proved to be more difficult than I thought.

Any suggestions that would make my day?
I read about every genre and shameless self-plugging is also welcome as long as the novel is good!

    cover
    Power Up, Artist Yang!
    SYNOPSIS: At 24 years old, Yang Yujia is an unemployed art major, living off heavy debt and instant noodles, both of her irresponsible parents refusing to support her. During a high-school reunion, Yujia gets drunk, does stupid things, and when she wakes up again, Yujia is no longer in the correct world, time-period, or body.

    Unfortunately, as a transmigrator, Yujia does not seem to have much luck either— instead of transmigrating with a set of stunning martial arts skills, knowledge that would aid her in troubling situations, or a position of royalty that would make her life much easier, Yujia is the fourth (illegitimate) daughter of a small merchant. And what skills does she have to help her survive this world?

    A pretty face, witty mouth, and useless artistic talent?

    Good enough.

    cover
    Blossoms of Red
    SYNOPSIS: Su Xueying, princess of Danyan, has been lucky for her entire life. However, after a marriage arrangement was created between her and Emperor Yang from the opposite country, Yeming, Xueying is determined that her good luck has come to an end. From then on, everyone and everything seems to be out there to ruin her life, and upon one of those incidents, she meets a handsome mountain bandit, Mo Ruchen, who appears to be much more than what he looks like on the outside.

      Dream Stage

      Synopsis

      After all the things he had sacrificed for his passion for music, all that was left in the end were desolation and loneliness.
      He cast away his family, friends and his love. He did not mind living a destitute life if this meant creating and sharing his love for music with others.
      But his voice went unnoticed, his figure kept neglected on stage and his music gathered no admirers.
      Now given another chance to pursue his dream, how will he hurdle across the obstacles and reach the pinnacle of the music industry?

          Smashing dragons, gods and transmigrators into meat patties!
          Still, she has a dream - "When will I have a boyfriend...?"

          Sam is an orphan with a dream: a simple life and happy family. Nearly talent-less (and ahem, a little slow witted...), she has only her two (overpowered) fists to rely on in a world that seems determined to make her forever-alone.

          Follow Sam as she falls in love and learns what it means to experience loss;
          Shares thick and thin with the most unexpected companions;
          Faces betrayal by the ones she thought were the closest;
          And learns to open her heart again to trust.

          Note: Romance will take time - and chapters :)

              wether it's a bad or good idea is disputable, it depends on the thread makers opinion I believe, if something sucks or not, you can't generalize. To you maybe only the ones with top power stone rankings may be worth a glance, to others they can overlook these and try to find something that pleases them individually.

                Thanks for the recommendations! I'll check them all out.

                whe And yeah I guessed that a lot of people would link their own novels, but that fine by me as I said in my first post.

                  The Expandables - A Post-Apocalypse Cyberpunk Adventure

                  Synopsis:
                  The year is 2257. The Final War had rendered most of the Earth's surface uninhabitable. Twisted by chemical, biological and nuclear attacks, horrifying monstrosities now roam the land.

                  Enter Arcology-1, humanity's last sanctuary. Sheltering nearly 100 million people, the megacity is the bastion of civilization, a testament to the ingenuity and persistence of mankind.

                  Arcology-1 is governed by Noah, an Artificial Intelligence construct. Each citizen is assigned roles from farming to developing alternative fuels. They can expand their physical and mental capabilities, taking advantage of countless technological advancement from muscle mass injection, cybernetic augmentation to knowledge transmission. For the last 70 years, Noah has been coordinating the human efforts to maintain and expand the megacity.

                  Seventeen-year-old Riley Romero wants little more than to be able to live out his life in peace. Well, as peaceful as possible. However, when his family's safety is threatened, Riley will be drawn into a century-old plot that will expose Arcology-1's true nature and determine its fate.

                      What in this world! Oh... Wait a minute. It's another world.- My novel; a novel that tells of the daily life of an MC after being transported to another world, honestly more of a slice of life fantasy, than an Isekai.No harem, guaranteed by author
                      Finding My Freedom In Another World- It is a fun novel to read, however, sadly, the true author of this novel has either dropped it or left it on hiatus without warning to anyone, even to the one publishing it on this site for her (with permission), I hope she is okay, and really hope she comes back to us.;,;. No harem, guaranteed by author
                      I Didn't Even Want to Live, But God Forced Me to Reincarnate!- this one is hilarious, I really enjoy the unique re-incarnation plot (the title tells it) and the way that this is simply a fantasy slice of life that stems from a reincarnation.;,;. I just can't get enough.;,;.
                      Rebirth: The New Game of Life- This one may be listed last, but to me, the latter two books are equal in quality, though very different. Of the three I show you, this one is the only one I give the Harem Warning in... this one is Harem + OPMC, so if you don't like such things, don't read... Now this MC earns the right to most of his OP-ness though.

                        I have confidence in the quality of my writing, check out: Godking Ascending the Heavens
                        It is an Eastern Fantasy novel in terms of cultivation but written with many Western elements. I have also got a strong plot for it, so it shouldn't read like one of those rambling eastern fantasies where the MC has no real motivations. Humour and drama involved.
