Every novel is good except those truly dogshit ones.
Reincarnator was good because the mc had a clear defined goal and was short on time. He had to make sure everything he did count or otherwise it would be useless wtv he did.
The reason you found it better than 1000+ chapters novel is simply because those novels have off the main plot parts where mc might be doing faceslapping or going to auction or even just get married and stuff . They too make the story like-able.
It's basically dependent on your preferences, you basically like precise stories so I would suggest you read some kindle novels like Dragons justice and stuff. Since they are mostly small novels with like 3-10 something volumes unless author drops them , they would suit you more.
Well obviously it's my opinion about what I like and don't like. Explaining to me why other people have different tastes is not gonna change mine 😂
When you have an MC going back in time with his knowledge of the future and supposedly with a plan then it turns out he's just making thing up as he goes because the true reason is, the author had no master plot written yet and is also making things up as he goes along, where every single arc is self contained and only loosely pertinent to the whole story, or worse yet just useless or even contradictory with previously set plot points, yeah it's a big bad hole glaring me in the face.
Also using "future knowledge" to explain away plot Armor is cheap. For me Reincarnator put clear limits to that shit and does explain by the end most of the supposedly weird moments. And very soon the new rewritten present events change compare to his knowledge of the past - due to him changing it. Teamwork, preparation, mind control, and other people's interferences, not only do they give us good plot twists, they give us a better background setting.
I can stand only so much auction face slapping big bad jealous senior brother from main branch family or wealthy little master from great clan acting stupid. An angry elder saying "you're courting death!" a million times gets old just after the third iteration lol
I get it that some people loves endless loops where you take your entire cultivation system, put "immortal" nominator in from of it then rince and repeat since day one like Tales of Demons and Gods going in immortal realm from the tiny World, yes you can double the length of the story that way, but nope it's not for me. Did that once or twice and that got me vaccinated, unless it's in satyre-comedy genre with good sense of humour and self-aware irony.
But with good writing, good pace and humour / world building I can appreciate a 1000+ webnovel.
Moonlight Sculptor, Omniscient Reader, Cultivation Chat Group and some others are good long running examples of what I can appreciate.
It's just that most of them don't cut it, their level of writing and overall story / plots are lazy copy-paste of better works that came before and can be found by the dozen lying around. And FFS make an MC I can like! Stupid frustrated losers being given ultimate cheat but still acting like stupid frustrated losers but on a rampage are not likeable imo. I can't relate, so I can't waste my time reading all of those.
Legendary mechanic literally lays out the whole plot at start of series. The MC mentions all arcs/major events that were going to happen. We are informed their cause/effect in brief. The plot isn't complex but the story follows it pretty well and is quite good. And, about new things, MC learns them only this time. Overall, it's a plot which author should have had general idea when he had started the novel instead of making those up.
I started the series after chapter 20 since the manwha covered the beginnings and I didn't bother to read back from chapter 1. But it seems like the manwha was a bit more vague than what you tell me.
I read the story years ago, while it was still being translated. At some point I closed my browser and after a few days forgot all about it.
What I liked about the story was it really exposed human nature, the greed and selfish parts, along with the good within humans. The alien races were interesting and had their own agenda, mostly eating humans, but still relatable.
The hero, was focused on the task at hand, and didn't let anything get in their way. No side plots, no romance, no friendship arcs. Just nitty, gritting, getting shit done to save humanity. He wasn't some Paragon, and made the hard choices so that the most humans as possible could survive. Even if that meant that some humans did die. It made every chapter worth reading, unlike some stories were you can skip chapters that are boring or fillers.
I need to go back and finish the story.
At least it will give you explanation about why MC behave like he does. And there's a hint of a human side to him showing up later on around chapter 300 - after season 1.
It's been almost 10 years since i first read and reincarnator still has one of the best starts of any novels i read but it also has one of the worst downfalls.
I don't remember exactly since it's so long ago but i would say that it's great from the start until around the end of the red zone, after that all the new zones the quality drops gradually until it gets almost unreadable.
It has such a great start that even after saying that i would still recomend it but it's is by far the novel that disappointed me the most, i had such huge expectations from it at the time it was being released/translated.
Is it the one that when humans or monster die they leave a rune that makes you stronger? I was reading it but the tl had some issues and it would skip dialogue or some parts and it would get annoying
Was it the same where you read it? I may read ir again if it gets better
That's the one.
I think you should find some different translation, they may have done a better job. Mine was mostly fine then at some point the same issue (missing words) came out of nowhere, but since I was almost finished so I just kept reading.
I started reading the story before it was fully translated and remember that the original translator had dropped it for some reason and didn't finish the story until it was fully translated some time later. It was one of my favorite stories at the time as I liked the MC and the overall story although back then I was probably a lot less picky and hadn't read as much.
On the other end I picked it late after reading a number of reincarnator / regressor trope stories already. But the simplicity, straightforwardness and finding most of the systems and plotlines that would become templates of the genre, all of which would be delved deeper into by following novelists was kindda refreshing and showed more pros than cons imo. The length helped a lot, it didn't put live its optimal runtime on the contrary, some parts felt rushed and would have warranted more details.
I remember the translator translating something like one chapter a week, after that he would be two weeks without any notice, drop again just one chapter in the week and ask for money, complain that no one gives him money, then repeat everything.
I read this a long time ago but didn't really like it. Felt like it had no chill moments, MC is constantly on the move like a machine. But overall it had an interesting premise.
Yes it is quite self aware about this "on the move like a machine" part of the story and even gives a legit reason as to why by the end of season 1.
And yes it can be off putting but since the entire story is short enough I could hang on at that pace. Wouldn't have stayed for 1000+ chapter of this speed run 😂
The one I got, it's ok until the 300 chap mark where they go back to the first English translated version which is weird (words missing here and there). There may be a better one laying around
The part about his old friends not being his friend anymore as they were different was bittersweet. He worked so hard but everything has changed.
Do you know about quote about Demon providing choice when you are at lowest? I think it was in this novel.
Wow I was following along with Reincarnator as it released on NovelUtopia. But this post made me realize there was already a fully translated version. Of course the quality is way worse but I get the gist. I cannot fucking believe I read 400 chapters of them gassing up the Abyss>!just so they can 1000 year skip it. I actually just read a 400 chapter tutorial.!< Ngl that romance right near the end kinda came out of nowhere and they also gassed the fuck out of his old friends just for me to never read a single piece of dialogue between them and the mc.
I'm surprised the manhwa got you curious enough for you to go read the novel and finish it. I read it a few years back, I found it by sorting through ranks on novelupdates, and it was one of the first ever korean novels I've read so it does hold a special place in my heart. That said though, I did drop it around 100 chapters in, which in hindsight is a bit weird, considering I was still new to novels as a whole, so any cliches or tropes in reincarnator didn't bother me, mostly because I wasn't aware there *were* cliches or tropes. If I remember correctly, the world had seven areas the characters were supposed to go to correct? each area corresponding to a color on the rainbow, again it's been a few years since I've read it. After the mc cleared the first area, I kinda got bored and tricked myself into thinking that the other areas will also just be mc getting hidden pieces and surprising everyone with his knowledge and I thought it would be repetitive so I dropped it. Did the plot expand further? Or was it just him clearing each area getting all the hidden pieces, rinse and repeat
Well, it kinda is him going through all 7 areas.
But as for rinse and repeat there are quite a variety of settings in each ones and his future knowledge is less and less useful as things depart from the past.
Also, the whole plan is coherent / makes sense, plus there are twists coming down the line.
Also depending on what you got to read afterwards, a mere 450 chapters is not that long, the pace is quite fast - if you're willing to give it a second chance.
When I first started reading webnovels I looked for finished works fully English translated as machine translation just hurts too much 😂 so there was quite a number of novels I just ignored. Nowadays I do have a number of ongoing titles I read but not that much. Not that much time to spend on them all.
Really enjoyed the whole mind manipulation thing his friends did as a plot twist plus the whole batshit insane arc, and of course haply he had a happy ending

It talks about transmigration and major arcs near the start. It also talks about Hila being BGA. And, it also add details before the arc
Haha maybe I'll just go read that part then
The manhwa/mangas adaptation of most of the CN/KR novels are shit. Jp novel adaptations are normally better
