Some 10 out of 10 novels that I am currently obsessed with.  Funny, romantic, and all with great female leads!

Thousands of chapters or just over a hundred, Historical, Supernatural or Slice of Life, face-slapping and heartwarming stories, dramatic and comedic — this collection will have them all.

I’ve read so many, that these are the ones I will re read anytime because of how good they are in no particular order 

No description.

Historicals, wuxia, and xianxia that were a decent read. Some gems in here too, and nothing below what I'd personally rate 7.5. I might delete... more>> some of the ones in this list that were meh. <<less

My WTR and CR in 2025. There's some other list for the first half of 2024 and 2nd half of 2024 (List name: WTR / CURRENT READ 2024 & WTR /CURRENT READ 2nd Half of 2024). ... more>>

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 1/2/3". <<less

No description.

Maybe read these bc I like the author or translator or the plot summary looks interesting.... more>>

As the title said, no Male leads who are abusive, aggressive, overly possessive, or rapists. The quality of the novels will vary, but you can be sure that none of the novels here will have creeps MLS. 

-Fights between ML and FL may be present, even physical ones, only because sometimes they start as enemies, but never in the context of domestic violence, r*pe, ab*se, and torture. Because after that kind of thing, she is a victim, not a wife. 

-r*pe as a punishment sometimes will appear in the list, because some are in gray areas. (I will only consider it as a gray area if wasn't a plan made originally by the protagonist, so think like "the villain planned but the protagonist defended herself kind of thing). And I'll warn you in the comments so if you don't like this, you can avoid it.

 - I will update this list as I find more novels that fit here. If you find that some novels here developed in bad ways regarding the ML, please let me know in the comments, and I will update it, the novels in the list are safe ones until the last chapter I've read. But I can't always follow all of them, so I'd appreciate recommendations and advice.  <<less
