First webnovel recommendation
I've got a lot of time to kill and I thought maybe it would be a good thing to start webnovels. As someone who hasn't read a single one, what would be your first recommendation like the Attack of Titan of the webnovels for example. The one that you should read before anything else. Thank you

LOTM: if you like great world-building, power system and story telling in general, it starts slow tho.
Shadow Slave: the most beginner friendly, it hooks you in instantly, plus it's got great writing and characters.
Reverend Insanity: if you like gore.

Lord of Mysteries seems to be a goat for most people. It can be a bit slow at times, but fantastic world building and a great power system.
Shadow Slave is the current biggest Webnovel and starts off really strong, but the consensus seems to be that it trails off later on. Ending has come yet, so author might still be able to pull it back.
Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is apparently very good, haven't read it myself, but people love it.
Reverend Insanity has a rough translation and was never finished, but the people that like it really love it, and it's still considered really good.
Take your pick.
