Completed sci-fi matters because speculative concepts need resolution. Unfinished sci-fi leaves worldbuilding investment stranded. The entries here reached their planned conclusions, letting you experience full narrative arcs.

Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil
4.5(3.4K ratings)Genre: action, adult, adventure
A top hacker was chosen by the Lord God to be reborn into countless worlds, always as an expendable villain. With no free will, every world became a dead end.
First Impressions
"Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil" is quite the ride, a whirlwind of different worlds and romantic entanglements that kept me thoroughly entertained, even if it wasn't always perfect. It's a novel that seems to inspire both fervent devotion and some equally strong reservations, and I can see where both sides are coming from. Jumping into this novel, I was immediately struck by the sheer variety. The premise of a protagonist transmigrating through multiple worlds, each with its own unique genre and storyline, is undeniably appealing. There's something for everyone here, from ancient China set...

The Earth is Online
4.6(2.1K ratings)Genre: action, adventure, mature
Six months ago, tens of thousands of black phantom towers appeared all over the world, floating above the cities. Chemists, physicists, religious people… all of them could do nothing.
First Impressions
"The Earth is Online" promised a thrilling blend of action, mystery, and survival with a BL twist, and after diving in, I can confidently say it delivered an engaging, albeit sometimes challenging, experience. The premise is immediately captivating: a sudden apocalypse forces humanity into deadly games orchestrated by the enigmatic Black Tower. I was initially drawn in by the unique concept and the promise of a clever protagonist navigating a world turned into a perilous game. The early chapters successfully establish the stakes and introduce Tang Mo, our resourceful and observant MC. I found ...

Little Mushroom
4.8(1.8K ratings)Genre: drama, psychological, romance
“Until the day humanity falls. ” In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation.
First Impressions
"Little Mushroom." Don't let the cute title fool you. This isn't a fluffy, lighthearted story; it's a poignant journey through a post-apocalyptic world, seen through the eyes of a naive, yet incredibly endearing, little mushroom. I went in expecting one thing and got something far more complex and emotionally resonant. Initially, I was drawn in by the unique premise: a mushroom that takes on a human form and embarks on a quest. But it quickly became clear that this was more than just a quirky adventure. The world-building is intricate and immersive, painting a vivid picture of a dying planet a...

Global Examination
4.7(1.5K ratings)Genre: action, comedy, horror
The whole world is subjected to a highly dangerous standardised exam called the Global Examination. Answering questions by putting their lives at stake, they would live if they passed the test.
First Impressions
"Global Examination" is a wild ride of a novel, and I can definitely see why it has such a devoted following. From the very first chapter, I was thrown into a bizarre world of deadly exams, quirky characters, and an overarching mystery that kept me hooked. It blends elements of action, comedy, horror, and romance (shounen ai/yaoi) into a surprisingly cohesive whole. Initially, the premise of a life-or-death exam system felt a little chaotic. The early chapters are heavy on the examination aspects, which I didn't mind, but I can see why some readers might find it a bit confusing or dry until th...

Mist
4.7(1.4K ratings)Genre: action, adventure, mature
Hyperthymesia. Those with this condition can remember every detail of their lives from something as significant as the world’s turning point to something as small and as insignificant as a minor fleeting thought.
First Impressions
"Mist" is a web novel that really took me on a ride. Blending action, adventure, sci-fi, and romance with a dash of mystery, it's a story that demands your attention. While it has its quirks, the overall experience was definitely memorable. Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of time travel interwoven with complex sci-fi elements. The beginning felt a bit slow as the characters were being introduced, and I wondered if the romance would feel rushed. However, as the story progressed, the initial setup proved essential for understanding the intricate plot and the characters' motivations. I q...

Don’t Pick Up Boyfriends From the T*ash Bin
4.7(1.0K ratings)Genre: adventure, comedy, drama

First Impressions
"Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Tash Bin" is a web novel that grabbed my attention with its intriguing premise and overwhelmingly positive reviews. I dove in, ready for a unique ride through multiple worlds, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a story that lingers in your mind long after you've finished reading. The initial hook of a 'sum gong reconditioning' system is what drew me in, and the first few chapters definitely set the stage for a darkly comedic adventure. I was immediately impressed by the writing style, which felt both grounded and subtly lyrical, creating a captivating atmosphere...

A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy
4.5(889 ratings)Genre: adventure, comedy, mecha
As long as hamster spirit Shu Shu can survive the lightning tribulation, then his cultivation will be able to turn him into a human. In the end, the lightning tribulation strikes him and he arrives in the… future?
First Impressions
"A Guide to Raising Your Natural Enemy" promised a fluffy, comedic adventure, and for the most part, it delivered! I went in expecting a lighthearted read, and while it had some minor issues, I found myself charmed by the characters and the overall premise. The initial hook of a hamster-turned-human raising a dragon (or, well, his son who turns into a dragon) was definitely unique. I was immediately drawn in by the promise of a slightly skewed perspective from the MC, Shu Shu, given his past life as a hamster. The early chapters were particularly strong, setting up the world and the unusual dy...
- 8#8 PICK
Cub Raising Association
4.5(672 ratings)Genre: fantasy, romance, sci-fi
Xie Luan had always believed in science until one day, a meteorite smashed into his yard, forcing him to bind to a heroic world saving script. The worst thing was that the script didn’t even follow common sense.
First Impressions
"Cub Raising Association" promised a fluffy, heartwarming story about raising adorable alien cubs, and for the most part, it delivered. I dove in expecting a light read, and while it mostly met that expectation, I found myself with mixed feelings by the end. The initial chapters were undeniably charming. The premise of a protagonist suddenly thrust into a childcare role for alien cubs in a futuristic setting is unique, and the early interactions between the MC and the cubs were undeniably cute. I was immediately drawn in by the promise of a feel-good story with minimal drama....
- 9#9 PICK
I’m Not Human
4.5(689 ratings)Genre: comedy, fantasy, romance
After suddenly dying while trying to meet a deadline, Gu Huai transmigrated and became a non-human race. This race is cruel and cold, making them feared and shunned by everyone in the interstellar world.
First Impressions
"I’m Not Human" is a novel that took me by surprise. Going in, I expected a typical interstellar story with vicious Zergs, but what I found was a heartwarming and fluffy tale about family, acceptance, and an unlikely king. It's the kind of story that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside, even if it's not the most complex narrative out there. Initially, the premise seemed a bit odd. A screenwriter transmigrates into the body of a Zerg King? And everyone treats him like a baby? It sounded… unusual. However, the overwhelmingly positive reviews, particularly those emphasizing the "fluff," piqu...

First Impressions
This novel, "Surprise! The Supposed Talent Show Was Actually–?!", has been quite the ride! It's a blend of genres I didn't expect to enjoy so much, and I found myself completely engrossed in the story. While it has some quirks, the overall experience was definitely worth it. Initially, I was drawn in by the unique premise: an idol trainee entering what he thinks is a talent show, only to find himself in a futuristic battle royale. The story throws you right into the action, and I was immediately curious about how the protagonist, Wu Jin, would navigate this bizarre new world. The early chapter...

Home of the Zerg
4.5(623 ratings)Genre: adult, fantasy, mature
Huan Xiu transmigrated to the Zerg planet and decided to start his new life. He happened to hear that a cub near the college had been bullied.
First Impressions
"Home of the Zerg" promised a fluffy, sweet escape, and for the most part, it delivered. I went in expecting a lighthearted read, and I definitely got that, though with a few caveats that are worth mentioning. This isn't a story that's going to challenge you intellectually, but if you're looking for something warm and comforting, you might find it here. The initial setup is definitely unique. We have a transmigrated MC waking up in a Zerg society with a twist on gender roles. It's a world where "female" Zergs are the stronger ones, and "males" are rarer and considered more delicate. The MC fin...

Worship Me, I Can Make You Rich
4.6(706 ratings)Genre: action, comedy, fantasy
On the first day of work for the little intern God of Wealth, Zhuang Zhou was filled with confidence and complacency. He looked at the man collecting junk from a pile of garbage and said: “Worship me, I can make you rich.
First Impressions
"Worship Me, I Can Make You Rich" had me hooked from the quirky premise. It's a blend of interstellar adventure and sweet romance that proved to be a delightful surprise. I went in expecting lighthearted fun, and while it delivered on that, it also offered unexpected depth and emotional resonance. The initial chapters are undeniably cute. The dynamic between Zhuang Zhou, the little god of wealth, and Wen Xiaoyun, the admiral, is instantly endearing. I chuckled at the absurdity of their first meeting and how the ML patiently helps the MC learn the language. The comedy is well-timed and never fe...

I Became a God in a Horror Game
4.5(513 ratings)Genre: action, adventure, horror
After losing his job Bai Liu became involved with an unstoppable horror live streaming game full of various monsters and players with killer intent. Initially, everyone thought Bai Liu was just an ordinary person who strayed into the game.
First Impressions
"I Became a God in a Horror Game" is a wild ride, to say the least. It's a novel that messes with your expectations, throwing you into a world of horror games, complex characters, and a plot that's more tangled than a plate of spaghetti. After diving in, here's what I think. Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a cunning, money-loving protagonist navigating deadly horror scenarios. Bai Liu, the MC, isn't your typical hero. He's assertive, deranged, and calculating, willing to risk everything for his own gain. This amoral approach was refreshing, and I quickly became invested in seeing how...

Superstars of Tomorrow

First Impressions
"Superstars of Tomorrow" is a web novel that took me on a wild ride. It's a blend of genres – action, comedy, fantasy, and sci-fi all rolled into one. The premise is intriguing: a composer and hardened warrior from an apocalyptic past gets a second chance at life in a futuristic world, inhabiting the body of a young man named Fang Zhao. Initially, I was drawn in by the unique concept of a protagonist who is both musically gifted and combat-ready. The early chapters set the stage well, introducing us to Fang Zhao's new life and the challenges he faces. The idea of him navigating a world vastly ...

Why are the Protagonist Gong and Shou Fighting Because of Me?
4.5(485 ratings)Genre: comedy, drama, mecha
Tang Bai was born into a wealthy family. His body was soft and slender, and he loved to act spoiled.
First Impressions
This novel's title hooked me immediately. It promised a comedic romp, but I quickly discovered it's so much more than just a fluffy misunderstanding. While the humor is definitely present, the story delves into complex themes of gender discrimination, social inequality, and fighting for what you believe in. It's a surprisingly poignant read that left me thinking long after I finished. Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of lighthearted romance and accidental green tea schemes. The premise of an omega MC accidentally captivating two alpha leads sounded hilarious. While those elements are t...

First-Class Lawyer
4.7(471 ratings)Genre: mature, mystery, romance
Yan Suizhi, the young and accomplished dean of the interstellar Maze University’s law school, wakes up in a body that has been gene-modified to resemble that of a twenty-something-year-old. He had supposedly ‘died’ in a premeditated explosion a few months ago but someone had managed to save him.
First Impressions
"First-Class Lawyer" completely subverted my expectations. Initially, the title made me think it would be a dry, legal drama, but I was pleasantly surprised by the engaging blend of mystery, sci-fi, and subtle romance. This novel sucked me in with its clever protagonist and intricate plot. I was immediately drawn to the unique premise: a "dead" lawyer, Yan Suizhi, returns as an intern under his former student, Gu Yan, to uncover the truth behind his supposed demise. This reversal of roles creates a compelling dynamic, filled with witty banter and underlying tension. The futuristic, interstella...

I am an Alpha
4.5(463 ratings)Genre: drama, romance, sci-fi
Also named “I am a vegetable” “President Shen’s Wife Died” “Big Brother has more presence than me” Nothing is more honorable than being an Alpha. Strong, intelligent and handsome.
First Impressions
"I am an Alpha" is a short, complete web novel that really took me for a ride. It's a blend of drama, romance, and a touch of sci-fi, all wrapped up in a unique ABO (Alpha/Beta/Omega) universe. I went in expecting a typical romance, but what I got was something much more complex and emotionally resonant. Initially, I was a bit lost. The first chapter throws you right into the thick of things, and I wasn't entirely sure what was going on. However, I'm glad I stuck with it because, as many readers pointed out, the ending really brings everything together and makes the initial confusion worthwhil...

Beloved Husband
4.5(464 ratings)Genre: adventure, comedy, fantasy
Yan Jing Ze encountered an accident while escaping with his lover, was accidentally parasitized, and was involved in reincarnations. He was lost in reincarnation and almost couldn’t wake up, but if he doesn’t wake up again, his dear will be doomed!
First Impressions
"Beloved Husband" is quite the ride, a web novel that blends multiple genres into a series of interconnected stories. I went in expecting a standard quick transmigration (QT) novel, but what I found was a mixed bag of fluffy sweetness and, at times, repetitive tropes. Still, I ultimately found myself charmed by the devoted love between the main characters. The premise is simple: the MC transmigrates into different worlds, often as a scummy character, falls instantly in love with the ML, and then dedicates himself to making things right. The amnesia element is a core feature, with the MC regain...

Apocalypse Lord
4.6(480 ratings)Genre: action, adventure, fantasy
Yun Ling was invited to attend the public beta test of “Apocalypse Calamity. ” In the end, she successfully survived a hundred days, and obtained the “Lord Token”, “Life Skill Level Retention” and “S Rank Skill” as rewards.
First Impressions
"Apocalypse Lord" is one of those web novels that really surprised me. I went in expecting a grim, action-packed story, but what I found was something far more unique and, dare I say, chill. It's a blend of apocalypse survival, city-building, and a healthy dose of comedic hoarding that kept me thoroughly entertained. The premise is simple enough: apocalypse hits, and our MC, Yun Ling, becomes the lord of a city in a game-like world. What sets it apart is Yun Ling's personality. She's calm, collected, and incredibly pragmatic, more focused on long-term survival than immediate glory. It's a refr...
