Good novels you've dropped.

The novels that are so horrible butchered with MTL that even 'he' and 'she' are mixed up.
Also if it's a long novel and I've forgotten too much about it that I can't go on and I need to reread it, but it's not enjoyable because I still remember the most interesting twists or it only gets good later on 

Stories that are so amazing, and then they devolve into a harem for the sake of having a harem. I was reading one, can't remember the name, but the guy was Chinese and went back in time. He started selling bank notes and cars (etc), but after discovering he was going to be in a harem, I just tapped out. Even though the romance only occurred every 50 chapters.

Another is where this woman gets kicked out of her husband's house and divorced. Yada yada they get back together, and then she switches bodies randomly. Something about switching bodies annoys me. It was getting interesting, but I hate that trope of random, out of nowhere, supernatural elements that destroys a slice of life-esque story. 

Not exactly "good stories I dropped", but a lot of times I find yet another power fantasy (and possibly Isekai) trash to burn time on, the premise seems interesting enough to draw my attention, it goes fine for a few chapters, then BOOM! I get slapped with the multi-whammy of harem, protagonist turns out to be generic light novel guy, the author uses the opposition to describe his view of every bully to ever torment him and gets back at them via the story... And I drop yet another disappointment.

On the other hand, I was a single chapter away from dropping Mushoku Tensei when I started it. Got to a point where I was mentally predicting cliche developments, then the author sidelined me with a development I didn't expect and I ended up reading on. Definitely not sorry I did. 

my death flags show no sign of ending
the author is a retarded person who couldn't put an end to his work and doesn't want to put a happy end cause that would be like rushing and trying to shut up the readers i truly loved the story and all but the author is just a retarded person who couldnt put the novel on hiatus or discontinue it but left it like that for more than a year at least try to be like
Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu
where the author put it on indefinite hiatus which means not gonna be continued 

I also dropped the Randidly Ghosthound for the same reason 

Renegade immortal
This is one of favorite but... romance is really cringey 

I totally loved those food porn parts and how the people all turned into gluttons  It would've been great if the FL stayed independent and indifferent to the ML, but that's how most novels work I guess.
I realized that many of those high-rated novels are like that when they're too long. Pretty good in the beginning but later on it's all about love interests, mary-sue-ing and so on...
I just droppped "Doomed to be a Cannon Fodder" because of this....  

As the translator, allow me to say that the author is probably doing that because of some kind of legal binding with his publisher lol
