P.S. There's no first or last. Meaning, this list is not ranked. <<less

Mostly has light novels with minimum or zero romance with an MC that either transmigrates or regresses, or finds themselves possessing a body. 

The reading list consists of Korean and Chinese novels about people rising to stardom, making a name for themselves as behind-the-scene contributers, or talented traditional painting artists who strive for pure beauty of art.... more>>

Some chinese novels are yaoi and BL so it might not suit your taste, korean novels are either out of romance aspect or depict love between a man and a woman after great challenges.

The list is not a place where I put all the alike novels in. I have chosen novels with good to excellent plot, writing and translation, in other words, they the novels I love and have praised the most out of hundreds of art-related novels out there.

Hope you enjoy it! ～\（≧▽≦）/～ <<less

most are 4+ stars; ordered by my read completion date (books without reviews are to-be-read)

commentary includes: fml and ml's jobs + rating of how well career plays into the story + general book review 

my career-and-plot-integration (CPI) rating scale:

1- career is a feature of the fml's backstory and/or character setup; there's no function other than a way to meet other characters or start a plotline; barely any mention of fml putting in meaningful work; the readers would have forgotten what her job was if the author didn’t bring it up once or twice

2- career is just a hobby or a means to fund other activities; sporadic mentions of working; main focus is on fml's personal life but her job is not entirely forgotten; work responsibilities are occasionally factored into her plans 

3- career is mostly present in fml's daily life; it’s mentioned consistently throughout the story but can be easily placed aside for personal events; think slice of life with romance as the priority

4- career is very important to the fml and she dedicated time and effort towards it; at times, it takes precedence over love and personal wellbeing; real professional knowledge may be referenced; passably realistic depictions of said career <<less

Happy Reading.

PS. the following novels are listed in-no particular order.  <<less

Where the FL has talent(s) or skill(s) that sets them apart from the others, and was built through experience, not shortcuts. This list also includes the ones I haven't read so some wrong ones might be included.... more>>

In the description, "talented" means the FL has natural talent in it and can cultivate the skill quickly. "good at" means FL achieved the skill mainly through through long training period, even when the FL does have talent in it. Excludes Quick Transmigration stories as those are technically cheating ~_~"
