CN. I'm a big supporter of happy ending. Romance or Reverse Harem. No Yaoi/Yuri. COMPLETED.I will warn if there is no romance element but I still feel it is a great female protagonist novel to read <<less

Mostly with Female protagonists, I can't really find any good ones with a male protagonist....... more>>

There will be a variety of genres here, so I am putting whatever I read, and think is good here. 

I suggest you give these a try without reading the reviews, and then after read them, you might like them

Don't mind the low ratings here, its because people don't read the tags, and then complain about it in the reviews <<less

My WTR and CR from June 2024 to end of 2024.... more>>

There's another list for the first half of 2024 (List name: WTR / CURRENT READ 2024).
There's new version for the 2025 (List name: WTR / CURRENT READ 2025).

I've reviewed all the novels' reviews. So basically, all the novels here passed my very own "Screening Standards" (no sad ending, mostly romance always part of the story, mostly Female Protagonist, a little bit to almost none bloodbath, etc). A must read for myself and maybe for you who have the same "type" as me!This list is being updated continuously so you better check it every few weeks (the ones that I've read would be removed from this list and moved to my other list, "Novel That I've Read Part 2". <<less

Thank you again to everyone who made my previous recommendations such a success! They are a testament to the depth and beauty of the CN novels I hold dear. This compilation is not merely a collection but a living tapestry, each thread spun from the loom of exquisite storytelling, intricately woven into the fabric of my literary journey. Some novels will make you think deeply, while others are perfect for just kicking back and getting lost in pure enjoyment~... more>>

THIS LIST WILL SLOWLY INCREASE WITH TIME; there are hundreds of good books that I've read and forgot to save them, now I'm going on a journey of finding them just to share it with you.... more>>

no harem, a finished man, calm and composed protag, female protagonist having the man wrapped round their fingers, beautiful people, vague and enticing lust-love, enemies to lovers, slow burn romance that'd have you wanting it to go faster, quick transmigration with no cliche dramatic plot and overused troupe, unique plots.✨

this list contains my emotions, thoughts, desires and the urge to read over and over again.  <<less

Rating is based on my opinion and it can change anytime.... more>>

6 → 6.9 = Readable

7 → 7.9 = Ok

8 → 8.9 = Good

9 → 9.4 = Very Good

9.5 → 10 = My Most Favorite/ Wow! Incredible <<less

Continued from BG Recs, Non-QT 1 list.... more>>

Various genres. I prefer smart, calm, or easy going characters. Not much dog blood found here. All the novels where the translation is incomplete, I finished reading via MTL and found the MTL very understandable. The quality of the novels in this list ranges from 3-stars to 5-stars, but I found them all enjoyable reads and would re-read them again. <<less

I've read a lot of novels from this sites. As more and more novel entered my mind, the old ones will eventually be forgotten. But, theres always some special ones that left lasting impression in my mind. Whether its because of Its strong plot, enjoyable character interaction, emotional attachment towards the character, intriguing world building or simply because its theme is my delicacy. ... more>>

Note: My delicacy is God/Immortal protagonist (not shounen-kind-of god protagonist). Watching the fleeting life of mortals from their perspective always makes me feel melancholy that somehow addicting. Their life reminded me death is also a kind of blessing for us, being the only one left behind is miserable feeling. And that made me cherish every moment in my life, regardless in joy or sorrow. So, if you happen to know novel with said premise but not included in this list, hope you can leave a comment and let me know, thanks! 

No particular order.  <<less

The setting of all the stories under this reading list, regardless of their genres, is Modern China (at least after the empires and dynasties).> The... more>> genres/themes of the stories in this reading list can be about showbiz, multiple identities(not DID, I mean, the MC can be a hacker, medical genius, celebrity, etc. at the same time), martial arts, business, childcare, transmigration/reincarnation(most but not all), etc. > The female leads here are usually overpowered(but not all) and of course, the male leads have a common denominator— wife s*ave. >Almost of all them do not have a major misunderstandings that break the couple apart, however maybe 1 or 2 stories have. And some of them actually has some misunderstandings but it's a funny misunderstanding that'll just make you laugh. > All of the stories here are completed. So if it isn't completed in this site, then it means that I've read it somewhere so just search for it. Or I might have read the MTL version. Enjoy reading ^_^ <<less

My personal favorite reads. I made this for myself but I hope you enjoy them too!... more>>

Ps. I love yanderes ;) <<less

Most of these are physically strong and some are mentally and are very determined

This romance may seem your typical novel, but hold on tight – it’s got some unexpected twists that’ll have you rethinking your views! . All... more>> types of flavours and settings  ( non BL, BL ; modern, SF, fantasy …) . Each story has one relevant characteristic: hope is not unattainable.  <<less

No description.

All the stories here are related to romance with minimal drama. There's lots of dog food and fluff. In some of the stories, the main characters either lost their memories, had a rebirth, or had an epiphany. ... more>>

NO TRANSMIGRATION. That's in my other list for transmigration romance.  <<less

These are the stories that were easy to start but GODDAMN did they have substance and expressed real ideas that could touch beyond dead text.... more>> I may have re-read a few of these a few times already. MmmMMMMm nomnomnom. <<less

Quirky characters that melt your heart or make you laugh with their antics. A lot of these weren't humans or have been transmigrated from different times which adds to their quirks. ... more>>

I'll add more details on why they are quirky and lovely later, first I want to make this list before I forget more characters, but most of these novels are novels I've read over a year ago and the characters still left a deep impression, so if I forget anyone it's because they just weren't as memorable.

I will also rate them from 1-10 on how much I like them. <<less
