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>>
