A hodge-podge of novels that I've enjoyed and am up-to-date on. Minimal R-18 or brain-dead content!

Not masterpieces but easy everyday reads, feels like passing day by day with the characters. No particular order or ranking.

* for guilty pleasure re-reads. <<less

The ranking does not matter , haven't read them all, some of them are randomly picked, scroll and select. 

This contains the bottom of the main list, All Novels I've Read Sorted
By Rating! It was reaching the max limit so I've moved the stories rated
3.7 Stars here.... more>>

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on
novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of
sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by
best/enjoyed the most to least. The ranking within the same number of
stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too
different to compare with each other haha. 

The other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it
can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank. The reason I
want to put my rating and reviews straight in the list is because you
can't search for a specific user's review in the novel page if there are
too many reviews. You will have to search one by one. Its easier to
straight up  see why I put the novel in a particular list plus my review
in the list itself. Sigh, novelupdates is really not user friendly. <<less
