Ratings

5 - Really caught my heart and soul and probably will re-read the story

4 - The story was a good read and definitely love it

*NOTE: red flags galore

*[mostly BL], some BG/action/Horror/no-romance

Mentions not in NU: |the authors POV|, |Advent of the three calamities| (both similar to the novels extra in genre/setting) <<less

one of the main characters falls in love with a character who is generally hated by everyone else

Historical Genre. The FLs in this list are all smart, some are kind, most are ruthless. ... more>>

The novels of this list are the typical Transmigration, Reincarnation, and Romance. All novels here are BxG. The top novels in this list are THE BEST OF THE BEST, and I personally have read them more than 3x.

Do not confuse this with my other Rec List “Harem Intrigue / Empresses in the Palace vibes” since that focuses less on true love and more on ruthless, manipulative, intelligent FLs with the ongoing themes: “traditional palace struggle novel” and “The emperor will fall in love with the female lead, but she will not love him” <<less

Conspiracies , plots after plots, rebels, Cool and bright protagonists(Wuxia xianxia not included)

Why not? I’m extremely pleased with love interests that would probably kill you. Not just in the way that they’re scary, they would kill you and are playing with your life. I will be adding the type of ML that leaves you with inner dread because both types of MLs aren’t written enough. I can’t believe how hard it is to find these types that are written like this on purpose.... more>>

Some novels that I will choose not to put on this list might have just made me mad (due to typical romance tropes I don’t like) or the ML, although capable of killing MC, didn’t make me anxious enough or smell of blood. <<less

True enemies. 

These danmei have good plot along with good romance. Especially enemies to lovers, power couple trope. 

Complex novels that are absolutely, mindblowing-ly brilliant — a 100% must read!... more>>

But, also, they're exhausting to read again and again. Just a single-read masterpiece.

Includes Gen, BG, BL, GL, etc.  <<less
