Worldbuilding - "the process of constructing a world, originally an imaginary one, sometimes associated with a fictional universe." These kinds of manga are usually set in a fantasy and/or sci-fi world, and excel at establishing & showcasing the rules/history/economy of their fictional universe. List was created through collective data from multiple websites of people's answers as to what manga are considered to have great world building.

Number of sales and date that number was acquired from in notes for each. Some of them I have personally estimated a higher figure than the date says.

No. 98 is Gaki Deka, but I couldn't find it. It has sold 30 million (November 16th, 2017), and was made by Tatsuhiko Yamagami and the publisher is Akita Shoten.

No. 99 says Jingi, but it seems to be Tachihara Ayumi's other work Maji! due to the dates and amount of volumes.

Manga/LNs with intertwining plots. They feature large casts/many different groups of people moving independently but simultaneously to form one larger plot, and actions taken by characters/groups influence others (Narita Ryohgo is a master at this; a lot of the titles on this list are written by him). May involve frequent POV shifts and may have a non-linear plot.

I asked ChatGPT for the top 50 best light novels, here is what I got (couldnt write "top 50 light novel" in title as it wouldnt let me post it public)
