Anyone else read Chinese Light Novels?

I just stumbled into the world recently and have been hooked - following some really interesting ones right now (english translated)

Battle Through the Heavens and Against the Gods @ Wuxiaworld
Quan Zhi Gao Shou @ GravityTales
and Shen Yin Wang Zuo @ Totobro

Wanna know if there are any other good/better ones out there i binge read all of them and they've joined my manga list in my wait list everyday (my browser tabs grow longer and longer t.t)

I know a lot of these have been adapted into manhua, I read them whenever they update.

Oh yeah I've read the manga adaptations as well , that's actually how i found the light novels hehe
But the light novels generally give more detail - the reason why i got so hooked

I'm more into jap/kr light novels personally
I think I'm probably reading a dozen of them currently, Legendary Moonlight Sculptor, Mushoku Tensei & Overlord are my favourite. Haven't watched the anime for Overlord, but the ln is so freaking good.

So I've been reading some chinese light novels for a while and it seems like the translation scene has really exploded. Maybe we can revive this thread, I'd guess more people read them now than in 2015.

If anybody has some must read recommendations it would be much appreciated.

Here some some I am reading:

Monarch of the Evernight: This one has everything, noble houses like GoT, dark Fantasy with Vampires and Werwolfs, guns being useful, multiple societies, mercenary groups/armies/hunter guilds and most importantly a lot of cool, important side character/friends who are actually useful and deep. I look forward to every new chapter.

Two more postapocalyptic novels are: Demon Hunter and Godsfall Chronicles.

Demon Hunter features a mysterious lone wolf MC who tries to survive in world full of mutants where a weak person is worth nothing.

The Godsfall Chronicles has only around 50 chapters translated so far, but the translation speed will increase now. So far it seems really good and actually reads more like a normal novel instead of light novel that has been translated from Chinese. The translator and author work closely together I think.

Then there is the Douluo Dalu series which has some of the coolest written fights ever and also does the team battle thing really well. Lots of strategy, a cool world and one of the more interesting cultivation/power up systems imo.

Part 2 and 3 are on Wuxiaworld but the translations aren't that far yet.

Reading Against the Gods is my guilty pleasure, but I'm not sure I can actually recommend it, although at least the beginning was quite brilliant. Let's hear what others are reading!
