I wish there was a tag just for MCs who seem really weird or suspicious to other characters (and sometimes to us too), so I'm making a list for it. Mysterious MCs will also count, but this is mainly for those who have personalities and/or abilities that are the cause of question to others.... more>>

Type 1 is the genuinely crazy/scary, Type 2 is suspicious background/abilities, Type 3 is personality quirk, Type 4 is environment misalignment, and Type 5 is misleading demeanor. Type A is oblivious and/or in-denial, Type B is begrudgingly aware, and Type C is in the middle ground. What I categorize them as will change once I get to know the MC better.

If it’s not here, I have not read it or hadn't thought of it. Recommend anything if you know one.

Edit: Also do give me a moment to personally read your recs so I can put them on there! I have many things on my reading list, so I will get around to it eventually! <<less

No description.

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:

A list of my favorite novels! 

Idc just read them when ya want it. 

Not your typical FL/plot (mostly tragic undertone)... more>>

Order of novels matters (for the first 15 smth, then I won't bother sorting them anymore) PS: Order greatly influenced by the time I read them, how well I remember them and by the uniqueness of the FL.

The tags are for all novels, but not all novels have all tags. The tags represent the things that I look for in novels. It's hard to find all of them in a single novel, if you find 5 in one it's really good, but to find it in 10 it's sadly only a dream.  So if you love one of this novels, you'll probably love the other too even if it's different. Each novel has at least 4 of those tags and other thrilling ones (manipulative FL, aloof FL, genius protagonist, charming FL, sharp-tongued FL, stubborn protagonist, mu*der and crimes, tough past plays an important role, reincarnation, revenge, second chance, mature feeling, mature FL, calm FL, doting love interest, power couple, devoted love interest, seduction)

The similarity between all: 

- not a fragile, submissive, prude and weak-willed FL

- not an a**hole, abusive ML

- not a dumb and repetitive vocabulary and sentences, such as: "obedient", "good girl", "nooo" (saying it just to have smth to say), a lot of s*upid unnecessary exaggerations of curses from antagonists etc

- honest, unconditional love

- good plot/ really good plot/ super unique

- from good to really good translations <<less

The MC is OP and the subordinates aswell.The organization may be evil or friendly, but it's always quite hidden and secretive.
