• System : This remove most novel here...
  • Reincarnation : Oh God. This remove most female MC novel...
  • Cultivation : This is getting difficult... You even remove cultivation and system... then it is modern. You have removed almost all Chinese webnovel...
  • Video games : Lol. You even removed the big part of modern world. You removed most Korean novel.
  • Transported to another world : OMG. You removed most Japan light novel. You even removed SweetTomato's novel.
  • Romance between the female lead and an overbearing CEO : How about a lady and somehow an overbearing king? This almost made ALL romantic fiction out of the window.
  • Barely any story or plot and mostly just porn : This is fine. Some didn't like porn. However, you just removed the rest of Japan novel that is left in modern world.
  • Incoherent rambling (that I do not care to read) : This is remove this Rabbink novel. Gwahahaha.

In short. Oh God Rabbink! I think you should check Western Fantasy. Harry Potter, LoTR, perhaps watching Game of Throne (It had some many 'porn' scene, but it is not important part and just to get some viewer.)

Perhaps you might be interested in 'Dungeon' story with level and monster positioning.

      Misguided_Rooster doesn't have to be modern day.
      No restrictions on original language or origin.
      It also doesn't have to be from Qidan.

          Water0202020 I'm not particularly looking for something western-oriented but thank you for the suggestion. I will take a look.

              MasterRabbink LOL
              I'm not sure Western Fantasy was what I was going for when I made that list. I think I just wanted to read something really out there so that's why there were so many restrictions. I do enjoy some of the novels that have elements on the list but only in moderation.

                  Lemonfairy :D

                  Try Sweet Tomatoes novel. It might suit you. I also saw a 'harvest moon' like novel.

                  What DarkDelusion said is correct, you can find some a bit western fantasy there. You only save 'catastrophe' and 'dungeon' theme from your black list. Gwahahaha.

                      Lemonfairy if you are searching within webnovel, perhaps 'rebirth of the entertainment giant' and 'little devil, be nice' should fulfill the criteria🤔.

                      There are some other possible choices like 'not a cultivator' as well, which does not have much(any) plot, and is kinda like a gag novel.

                          To walk the mist.... It's basically wuxia. The main character goes on some quest in his world and entered the mist. He fry's a special constitution that makes him one of a kind in that world... His master is basically a shameless old man trying to kill.... Cough.. I mean, train him. Now he must reach the stage of god eater to return to his world. Interested?

                            Silangan this made me laugh. proofread? I doubt the guys in ffn.net even know what the word edit means. They're even more amateurish than the original authors here, and that's saying something.

                            As for ao3, the level of professionalism the is somewhat higher so yes, they do proofread, problem being 99% of content on that site tends to be erotica in one form or another.

                            Of course, this is just me talking about generalities, I don't deny there are some. Very good stuff there, works that are of even better quality than anything webnovel currently bad to offer. No Chinese stuff though, and it's all fandom based, so you'd be hardpressed to find good original novels.

                                I thought that those tags were there to emphasize not recommending total cliches or highly used troupes. Those novels have unique traits.(For eg: 'devil, be nice' may have reincarnation, but it mostly focuses on comedy and is not generic). But, If it meant literally, then that is true

                                  I'm most irked by those generic blurbs found on western novels that go:
                                  [Name] was just an ordinary [guy/girl/other], but one day everything changed...
                                  cringe

                                    bachingchung I just want a breath of fresh air. Something totally out there. I don't really care how prevalent cliches are in writing in general. If an author can make a wonderful story based of a cliche that's great but not really what I'm looking for.
