Manga series that have not had a new release in 3 years, but don't yet have the "On Hiatus" status on MAL. (WIP)

Are you tired of the usual light novel experience full of generic tropes and unispired writing? Here are some books that are entertaining to read through and through.

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)

Little to no romance between them, and if there is it has prior friendship development beforehand

Some non-binary/x-gender manga I've read or heard about.
