I haven't found many non-adult web novels that I've liked recently, but here are my favorite non-adult web novels that I started reading from Sept 1 2020 to April 1 2021. These are the Google Translated titles and the author's headline story summaries:
Mote Mote Harem The childhood friend's silent heroine loved by the main character is fashionable and cute only for me as a mob character.

Author: Yagami Kagami
When I met her, I realized that I was a "mob character". My childhood friend, my best friend, my stepsister, everyone who likes me will like him. To the popular Harem hero, I'm a mob character and I can't stand against him ... But there was only one girl who showed a special face only in front of me. Moreover, she was the main heroine of her childhood friend, which the main character of Harem loves most. She is usually silent, but she becomes fashionable only in front of me. She only smiles at me. She loved me as a mob, even though she was the main heroine-this is my story. It is a romantic comedy of a dull mob character that tells from a meta perspective.
I am enjoying this one. I kind of figured out what the setting of the story was pretty early, but here it is:
It seems to take place in a romantic game-like setting, but with some of the characters being partially or fully self-aware. The romantic game's story gets derailed however. |
I found it pretty interesting and different from the usual stories of its type. This story seems to have become very popular. It has a record number of impressions from readers. I like how it makes fun of and criticizes harem male main characters about them being dense, insensitive and deaf when they need to hear something they should hear.

For some reason, I don't get an engagement consultation because I'm on good terms with the aristocratic decree. (Short Story)
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n2375gw/
This is about a merchant's daughter who as a child becomes very close to a Count's son who is afflicted with an illness that affects his appearance. Later he is cured and a lot of aristocratic girls want to be married to him, but the merchant's daughter can't get close to him like she used to. It was a sweet story and I enjoyed it as a short story.

Until an unhappy man covered in misery meets a goddess and is saved
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n4495gr/
Author: Aono Kitamori
When I was in elementary school, I was deceived by a lie confession and made a fool of my original heart. When he was in junior high school, he confessed to his childhood friend who was close to him, but he was humiliated with a rumor. Attracted by his senpai who healed his rotten heart, he went out with her, but ... he discovered that she was also with her teacher. In high school, he was betrayed and suffered a great deal of trauma. This is a story about an unfortunate man, Taiyou Nichinan, who is covered in such a misfortune and is saved by meeting a goddess.
I thought the main character might meet a real goddess, but he doesn't. The summary is talking about a woman he met. I don't know how long the story will take to get updated again, but even from what was already posted I found it interesting. It is a very good childhood friend backstabbing novel. The mental anguish is quite good.

I've entered the world of romantic comedy manga, so I'll do my best to make the heroine who doesn't stick to the main character happy.
Author: Shiryu
I love one romantic comedy manga. However, my favorite heroine is ... a sub heroine who will never be connected to the main character, a losing heroine. One day I was run over by a truck, and when I woke up, I became a close friend of the main character of a romantic comedy manga. Ah, maybe this is a dream. I'm dreaming of being run over by a truck. In the scene where the hero's best friend is talking alone with my favorite heroine, I possessed that best friend. I have no choice but to say to the classroom alone with my favorite heroine.
"I like you"
"Heh? What suddenly ...!?"
"I'll make you happy, so I want you to go out with me."
"What !?"
Because I thought I was in a dream, I casually conveyed my love to the heroine. Even if I wake up with this, I have no regrets ... ...... Ah, I can't wake up my dream? It's usually the next day, right? Well, maybe I've reincarnated in this character? This is a story that will surely make my favorite kuudere heroine happy.
Pretty fun as expected of a romantic manga world.

[Series version] I wasn't too popular, so I consulted with my childhood friend.
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n4742gr/
Author: Left Ryu
The main character, Yuta Tsukishiro, was worried. I want to be popular, but I'm not popular. He is trying to be popular, but he is not popular at all. Even if he can get to know the girls they will soon leave. Such a sad high school boy starts a chat with his childhood friend, "Excellent grades", "Sports versatility", and "Beautiful appearance", a beautiful girl who has all three beats, Hina Tendou. .. He screams why he isn't popular. "Why! Why am I not popular!" "......... Hey. Do you really understand?" A chat-type romantic comedy woven by two people who seem to be flirting from the side.
It's the usual extremely dense main male character, but I'm still enjoying it. I feel bad for her to be honest.

I [Parry] everything ~ The strongest in the world of misunderstanding wants to be an adventurer ~
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n6537fu/
Author: Nabeshiki
That is the story of the person who mastered [Parry] ────. "In all, there is no talent" A talented boy, Noor, who was judged to be so at the age of twelve, decides to train alone in the mountain where he was born and raised. If you make an effort, one day you will be yourself. He should be able to be like the protagonist of an adventure tan that he heard when he was young. With such hope in his chest, he continued to play the wooden sword in front of him with his only sword technique [Parry]. And more than a dozen years have passed ────. "Parry" Eventually, I think the man who became able to play a thousand wooden swords without swinging his sword. No matter how hard he tried, he didn't get the results he wanted. He may be about to wake up from his dreams. Still, he couldn't abandon his childhood dream and the man headed back to the city. ◇◇◇ This is a hero Tan of a man who unknowingly has the power of the world's strongest class, but defeats a strong enemy without noticing it at all.
This is about guy repeatedly told that he is not strong enough to be an adventurer because of his lack of skills. He has very few skills, but one or two of them are extremely powerful so he's not actually weak. He keeps thinking he's not that strong however. He's incredibly naive, but I'm enjoying the funny events he finds himself pulled into. I just wish the narrative wasn't quite so long winded. I'd be amused if this got turned into an anime someday.
Those are my Favorite Top Six from the past seven months.
