Stories with a base in Western fairytale lore, but with their own twist

Sometimes you just want to read a fluffy, happy ending story where all parties involved are consenting and the angst is minimal or even non-existant. The kind that you finish in a better mood than when you started.... more>>

A lot of the romance-based stories out there have r*pe in them and that is a major turn off for me. Since it's hard to find r*pe-free stories (especially with minimal angst), I am curating a list with the intention of adding more titles as I find them.

Some of these stories are smutty. Some are not. Some are same s*x pairings. Some are not. Tags are pretty clear on which are which, but I will comment as needed. <<less

Stories that have warmed my heart, lifted my soul, and given an all around happy feeling.

Japanese Otome+Shoujo+Jousei Oneshots/Short Stories: https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/22225/Japanese Otome+Shoujo+Jousei Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/24471/?ft=yes

Part 1 has finally finished and it will be a 99 list to not be repetitive in my PART 2 that has been created. ^^ So... see you around? ♥♥♥ <<less

Part 3, it’s a continuation of my previous list. Link: https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/8369/ Honestly just a cluster of different stories that fall under this title that I enjoyed. I... more>> love humorous stories, so you will notice that is a theme. I also like mu*der mysteries, transmigration, some otome/villainess, and gaming themes that incorporate romance. I left comments on a few directly relating them to others. Note that some of these stories start out fairly serious and do not become fluffy or comedic till much later in the reading. Feel free to comment any recommendations you may have for me after seeing my preferences! It is greatly appreciated. During my free time, I’ll add scores between 1-5 on how worthwhile they are to read. 1) Only read if you’re bored to absolute tears; 2) it’s an okay read, some dissatisfying parts, not a priority at all; 3) Not particularly bad or good, just something to pass the time when you have a long trip (it won’t feel like an absolute waste of time or make you feel particularly dissatisfied after reading); 4) Good read that you should read; 5) Excellent/MUST read. If the score contains a .5, then it could go in either direction of the whole numbers it’s closest to. Keep in mind, none of the novels listed here are awful. Some are definitely better than others, but all of them have their own merits.  <<less
