Hey, guys! So, I've been looking for new novels to read and I recently came across Plundering the Heavens. I've been putting it off due to the top rated reviews all complaining about overused pinyin, and I honestly didn't see it as much of a problem when I read it. I was surprised to see that such a good novel with great translation quality had such a low power ranking and negative top reviews (despite the decent rating). I'm curious if you guys have any hidden gems that people might've missed because of similar reasons. Would really appreciate it if you could recommend me some!
Hidden Gems
The reason why I ignore that is because of the title. It's kind of a rip-off of ISSTH.
Dominating Sword Immortal for sure. It's a really good cultivation story, but it got bad reviews due to the translation stability.
bachingchung Haha didn't notice how alike the titles were. Don't let that put you off though. It's pretty good.
bachingchung You are missing out. It's one of the most entertaining novels on QI!

Nightfall - Mao Ni - One of the few TransN novels worth reading. (RtW, of course, being another with Meh's help)

The Path Toward Heaven - Mao Ni - Very enjoyable. Different.

The Sacred Ruins - Chen Dong - Translation started out rough but a new TL came along and it improved immensely

Strongest System , Ultimate Scheming System, Overpowered System, The 7 Realms, Throne of Magical Arcana, Tempest of the Stellar , How can you call me cheater? , MMORPG : Martial Gamer, Transcending The Nine Heavens, Lin Journey <-- Recommended!
This are all the Hiddem gems novels! specially Lin Journey <---- Original
checkm8 I found a lot of good novels, but I dropped them due to the unstable release dates. It's a pity, most of those novels were my jam.

I understand consistency was one thing that hurt Plundering the Heavens for several months. (TL had a baby!) That's been resolved since January or so (not the baby but the consistency!) and it's back to a reliable 5ch/wk.
The TL team also revised the first 25 chapters and reposted them back in February.
checkm8 i'm not gonna try that one just yet. Seems like it still have too few chapters. I'm not gonna cliffhung myself to death
Bro I'm going to shamelessly promote my novel...
It is titled "The 7 Realms". Hope you'll give it a read.....
(I'm sorry I did not add a link.... I'm currently using the webnovel app)
Cheers.
I wouldn't say there are 'hidden' gems on this site considering there aren't that many to browse through in the first place. But my favorites right now are Super gene and Shadow hack. These are far from hidden but good none the less. If you want some good novels not from this site id say, "Returning of the immortal world". Pretty good story about a immortal that was betrayed by his lover and ends up reincarnating into a modern earth world and his climb back to power.
PeacockStudios i just started shadow hack. I'm not sure about super gene though. There were lot of complaints about the translation.
For me hidden gems are Pursuing Immortality and Trafford's Trading Club. Mind you, they're very different from most novels recommended here and definitely are not part of the most popular genres.
