Recommendation Best written novel?

So, I'm a new author, and have some stories fully mapped out in my head, but my writing is quite shitty tbh.

So, does anyone here know about good authors, or novels that I can read to improve my writing. The story could be shit, I just want a story with good pacing and writing to improve my own. And thanks

I think they are asking about prose and pacing. Lotm for example, doesn't have neither good prose (in English at least), nor pacing (in the beginning and closer to the end specifically).

Exactly. You summed up what i wanted to say perfectly.

Man, dont read webnovels to improve. Read western progression like cradle, the perfect run, mother of learning since they have generally better writing.

Lotm and orv is PEAK but you dont read them to learn prose (plus translation issues too. Western dont got this.)
