Originals are better.

NewCultivator if you're willing to go outside webnovel, go to novelupdates and search for novels which raw publisher is jjwxc. for within webnovel, jiong jiong you yao's books are nice. bizarre and unrealistic but enjoyable. if you want stress, search for ye fei ye.

Veronica8 There are good ones like Secret Warddrobe of the duchess, the laws of webnovel, the beautiful time with you(cliche but tolerable), Our glamorous time(unique ones), Julietta's Dressing Up in the webnovel.

But I do agree that most of the novels in webnovel are trash and cliches following the same pattern.

Reinesse Thanks will do.

SrtaA I dunno about that. Most of the originals novels in the top of power ranking are filled with cliches. While reading those novels, I go with low expectations but still gives me much disappointment. I am too afraid to try.

Yes, it might be true.
A great writer called Nelson Rodrigues once said "Unanimity is always stupid."
So, of course the top ranked novels are filled with cliche. Be it original or translated, if it's top ranked, its cliche. Cliche appeal to the masses, and that's why it's cliche. In fact, there's nothing wrong with cliche, the blockbusters are cliche and light entertainment. Sometimes all you wish is light entertainment.
If you wish to avoid cliche novels, though, perhaps you should try some not too well ranked novels. Some writers out there dared to experiment.
As for me, Chinese novels are completely filled with cliche and mostly very alike to each other. To the point even their titles are hard to tell apart.
Sometimes they even sound like they're being produced in mass by some company that throws random generated cliches to their writers to assemble a story together in 10 days.
I'm not saying every Chinese novel is like this, but recently, thats what it feels like.
