Light Novel Rankings — Most Read, Top Rated & Rising

Every board on this page is built from one thing: how many chapters readers actually opened. We count a read when a chapter page is served, aggregate those counts per novel per day, then rank over a window — the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or the entire history we have on record. Nothing here is sponsored, and no editor can move a title up.

Top Rated is the one board that does not use reads. It uses a Bayesian average rather than a raw score, which pulls thinly-rated novels toward the site mean — that is why a perfect 5.0 from three readers will not outrank a 4.8 backed by three hundred. Ratings are normalised to a 0–5 scale first, because our sources publish on two different scales.

Rising compares each novel against its own rank in the previous period, so it surfaces momentum rather than size. A novel that has never charted before is not counted as rising — there is nothing to compare it against yet. That same comparison drives the ▲▼ arrows throughout the page.

Snapshots are recomputed daily at 03:00 UTC. This page reflects the run from Aug 30, 2026, 8:12 PM UTC. Adult-only titles are excluded from every board.
