Translated novels from any language that I've read and enjoyed. Most will likely be webnovels that can be found on novel updates, but some also have physical novels. (Most of these-if not all- will be fiction) I will also only add the first novel of any series I am reading, but only series I have finished. Also, key note- I said I enjoyed them, not that I thought they were all good.
