Idk what this says about my taste in men, but if you want a strong/caring female lead to rescue her man or are looking for... more>> a devoted ML who’s world revolves around his lover, you’re in the right place  <<less

Stories that remind me that the world is beautiful and people are what make life worth living

New FL: (buffs up, screws original plotline, bridal carries 2nd ML to his well-deserved happiness) 

This list is mix of bunch of adorable straight and gay couples.

Here you can find a collection of different novels where the ML or FL is either disabled, vegetative, paralysed, blind, mute, autistic, mentally ill, suffers from ptsd, is being taken care of by the ML or FL or something similar.... more>>

Ps: BxG only!!!  <<less

This list is subjective, based on my preferences in analyzing novels as a whole, such as aspects: characterization of characters, world building, plot and other... more>> aspects. <<less

No rankings! All random order... more>>

Just a list consisting of characters who apply to at least one of the following tags as stated in list. Some characters will have all 5 of the applied tags, others only would have 1 tag at most. Some might only be ‘slightly’ cold or calm but still will be on this list, alas falling under the category. 

The story will consist of all types of novels like the typical Korean transmigration stories to the angsty danmei. All types, infinite flow, a deep slice of life I keep my word…
Currently updating so more stories will come on here, will try to find some hidden gems, I have been on this site for a while and have only just made an account so you will have to bare with me, as I try to find those stories I have read a long time back

Also would be very nice if anybody reading this recommended anymore stories to add onto this list as I have been desperately searching for actual decent stories with this tag. Surprisingly not many stories actually fulfil this tag successfully and I rather not add some derelict dull 2000+ novel with op mc, rather stories that will captivate your interest <<less

Read Lord of the Mysteries and fell absolutely head over heels for it. these are some novels i think have similar elements: lovecraftian/occult horror, steampunk/victorian vibes, themes of humanity fighting against fate, etc.  A mix of read and TBR, as well as BL/GL/gen.... more>>

Recs from outside of Novelupdates:

- Mother of Learning on RoyalRoad, TBR. time loop f*ckery babeyyy. apparently there’s a good magic system and some character development. I’ve heard nothing of good things about this one!

- The Forsaken Sovereign on Webnovel, TBR. LOVECRAFTIAN THEMES AND ELDRITCH GODS I AM SO EXCITED. 

(feel free to forum message me to gush about any of these novels!) <<less

Though a lot of it is fiction, it's still great reading about doctors and medical treatments.... more>>

These novels are a great Read whether you're a doctor, wannabe doctor or simply interested in Reading about medicine.  <<less

All those cute and fluffy novels with the mc and her child/children just make you feel happy and healed, whether it's cultivation or slice of life. ... more>>

These are a collection of novels with strong-willed or developing mc's with their adorable buns!

Note: If you don't mind mtl 'Top ten best moms' is another Qt novel, super read!  <<less

FL who is not a damsel in distress, smart, strong, and independent woman

Romance with PLOT and romance with COMMUNICATION

Listing novels where MC has a ticking time on their life. It starts with an MC having 'sickly constitution' premise, resulting in sweet-fluffy romance. Mostly... more>> our MCs overcome this limit, but a few times it results in tragedy... <<less

Mostly calm and rational mcs who are smart enough to know how to play their cards right if they want to turn the situation into... more>> their favor  <<less

List is ranked by romance that made me feel it the most to least! Here are stories where the romance was portrayed is such a way that I was very invested and can really feel the love the two characters feel for each other. Usually in web novels, I just go with the flow for the romance. Half the reason why is because if the ML really love someone will the ML disregard their lover's opinions during sex? And keep doing it until the lover is "sick/injured/sore/tired/need to lie in bed" the next day? The other half is just that the romance isn't written in any way to convince me lol. But these in this... more>> list definitely made me fans of their love! There may be some of that s*x until sore trope but if the romance still convinced me of their feelings, I'll still include it!

Honourary mentions:

- I’ll Have My Seatmate Beat You

It was a little too short to really feel the  feels. But the developmwnt of the romance was very good and when they did show their love, the MC was super straightforward and eager! A refreshing turn. The ML too made me feel for him. It was just a little too short and the MC made me feel like he should be taken care off a bit too much. He's alrd younger than his yearmates lol.  <<less

Some stories are gentle while others are sad, but the theme of a heartwarming relationship won't change!... more>>

longish descriptions (in progress) because i have memory loss apparently <<less

mermaid / nightinggales / guide / AO and the like; usually fixing mental riots, pheromone disorder and other mental and/or power problems. Not literal physical illness but may be connected. Mostly exclusive between the couples/partners but some can do it for  other people. there's no specific novel tag for this so I just created a list to collate titles the time I got addicted with these kinds. I've read a lot over the years but forgotten some LOL. ... more>>

This list will have sporadic update as I try to I recall old titles or read something new.

My little reviews might possible have spoilers bcos of me telling why it matched this list. Or just skip over them over.

❗Readers: if you reckon a story you've read is a good match for this list's theme, pls recommend and I'll review it! :) <<less

Yes, "no drama" is in quotes because some of these have the drama tag but upon reading them, I don't think they're really as dramatic... more>> as other works which have the same tag. 
"Completely translated arcs" means that the series could be still on-going but you can finish reading it up to the end of an arc, so you can avoid getting blue-balled. (If you still continue reading, then that's on you!) <<less

KR RoFan's with FLs I love. I'm really into "Jane Austen" level of gentle and kindhearted protagonists who come into their own as the story progresses, finding their strength, finding their voice, and learning lessons along the way (alongside their preferably equally kindhearted MLs)... more>>

*If you have any rec's, please drop them! <<less

You're at the right place if... more>>

↬You're tired of: Non-con | Major power imbalance | Romanticisation of toxic, manipulative, and controlling behaviour. 

↬And you want: Novels that put emphasis on consent | Mutual respect, trust, and understanding between the main cp | Forehead pecks | Character development | Couple growth | Misunderstandings that get resolved through proper communication.

Please make sure to first check the tags on these novels before starting them though, as some of them talk about sensitive matters (Mistakenly Saving the Villain for example) 

Also, aside from Saye — which holds a special place in my heart, rest of the list isn't arranged by my personal preferences but rather the covers, as I like to keep my lists colour-coordinated.

Please let me know if there's more novels with healthy relationships or if I accidentally added a novel which doesn't have one ( ˊᵕˋ ; ) <<less
