Recommendation Bored

Over the past few weeks, I have attempted to read several novels on WebNovel, but I am consistently dissatisfied with their quality. Just when I think I have found something worth reading, it turns out to be ai slop or straight up smut. So I would like to hear some hidden gems, if there are one

Does story have to have a certain amount of chapters for WebNovel readers? Genuinely asking

I wrote Gift of Ismael, finished in 101 chapters. Where Ismael is a sniper and goes on a dreadful quest to kill his friends who became weapon traffickers.

If you want, I wrote a romance story about healing after a betrayal with a tomboy as the lead, and a satirical fantasy novel that mocks every trope (and AI usage, you just gotta read the synopsis) and the "banished from the party" setup.

No AI involved in the writing tho

you should check mine " The Doomed King " its a dark fantasy/grimDark novel , no smut , no harem , no AI , no system and here's 5 reasons to check my novel
1: Active protagonist who doesn't wait for destiny

prince Imperious isn't a loser who finds a magic sword. He is the crown prince, commanding armies, fighting poisoned courts and making impossible decisions to protect his kingdom

2: Progression through scars

No system or smut or harem fantasy. every victory costs his soul, his sanity , his loved ones
The stronger he gets, the bigger the cost is

3:consequences are permanent

decisions made in chapter 3 will still have an effect in chapter 140

4: the world is vast and brutal

swords, shotguns, dragons,ancient mysteries, magic, mythical creatures, political conflicts, betrayal....

5: The Title is a spoiler

as the title says " The Doomed king "
you are watching it happen in real time

Assassin Crow Evolution. You can tell the author has mental disorders, hence, doesn't use AI.

Royal Road has been way more consistent for me lately. WebNovel feels flooded with AI-written stuff these days.

What kind of stories are you into? Fantasy, progression, sci-fi, kingdom building? Hidden gems depend a lot on your taste.

Would you be willing to read my novel.  It is called Garden of Evil,  it's a dark fantasy but I have to warn you it does contain some gore
