Short and incredibly concise novel about a stone at the river of forgetfulness that gains sentience and immediately falls in love with the god of... more>> war. She follows him on three human trials, affecting them in minor and major ways. Although the story is very well done, the translation elevates this for me. Hamster is always great at having smooth and readable translation and with the wit and dry humor in this novel it just shines.  <<less

A very long and involved novel about a woman who is reborn, but instead of the usual face slapping, she just tries to stay away from trouble and save herself and those few people she cares about and who care for her.... more>>

Written in a way that is much more realistic than most novels I've read on here, because no matter what, she is reborn into a deeply patriarchal society that insulates itself and trying to "outsmart" or "outsass" everyone is going to get her ostracised by her peers. Chen Rong is both an incredibly smart but also proud woman, but the world does not leave her alone. Hamster's incredible translation really makes this work even if it's not translated in its entirety yet.  <<less

A short, powerful novel about a girl from a Mary Sue world who transmigrates into another world. Hijinks await! One of the few novels that has a twist in the middle that works perfectly and serves as so much growth for our main character!... more>>

The romance is more in the background and understated because the main character and her development take precedence, but still an important aspect of the story. <<less

The translation can take some getting used to, because there's lots of pinyin terms, but this author always good at writing female characters that are... more>> cool, calm and collected, and there is some face slapping but the histrionics are usually kept at a minimum and the romance is rock solid.  <<less

Excellently translated story by Tong Hua. The drama is amazing too and sticks really close to the novel, but it's a sweet story about a... more>> girl from the desertsteppe and a general from the Mainland. Also refreshing to see a heroine who seems to enjoy s*x with her man, instead of being tortured at night.  <<less

Another classic, by the same author as Eight Treasures Trousseau and the same translation team, but the focus is slightly different. The female Lead is... more>> once again reborn, but this time already into a marriage with concubines, so there is more back-court shenanigans. As always the female lead is calm and collected though, so the face slapping is once subdued than obvious.  <<less

The translation has tragically been dropped, but the chapters that are out are amazing and some of the best translation I've seen. The novel has... more>> a great drama adaptation out also, so while the novel itself might not be completely translated at least you can watch the drama.  <<less

Very glad this translation has been picked up again, but this is also just worth reading for the translator notes alone. She dissects the novel... more>> and the main male lead impeccably and doesn't let him get away with anything. One might usually be tempted to avoid the novel, because the male lead is an a**hole, especially in the beginning, almost irredeemable. But the translator knows of his faults and still works on this novel, so I trust her and trust this story to give him the turnaround he needs. <<less

By the same author as the very popular Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage. I have to say i prefer this one though,... more>> there is almost no face slapping and while the female lead is OP, I am very much willing to buy it. The romance is slow burn, but you can tell the main couple works amazing together. She gets to be a female general! It's also very well MTL-able, if you get impatient like I did. The translation is good though, so if you have more patience it might be worth it to wait. <<less

I would say this is the most face-slappy title on this list, and thus a bit further down. It is also by far the longest... more>> novel I have on here, although the chapters run on the shorter side. The main character is great though and the romance, while tropey and sometimes questionable does spark joy. I am currently far behind the translation though, so this could fly off the list if I don't like something when i catch up. <<less

The translation on webnovel.com is okay, but this is one of the few female cultivation novels that didn't make me want to spork my own... more>> eyes out and the romance is understated but also shows us why and how they would work. Sadly translation on webnovel.com seems to have stalled, but I do recommend the chapters that are available! <<less

Very well translated, from the same author of Counterattack of the Cannonfodder Chambermaid, which I enjoyed, but thanks to the main characters position she was... more>> only ever on the sidelines of the plot. In this one, for at least the first half the female character is very much the driver of the plot and even after she gets married she keeps her wit and her husband seems to want to let her be herself as much as possible. I've been enjoying this a lot and I hope the last third of the story holds up, but it's well worth to check this out just for the translation. <<less

Amazing translation and a premise I really like. For once it's both husband *and* wife who get reborn and a second chance at a marriage.... more>> They also remark that they are not as (spiritually) young as everyone around them is, something that I always feel novels disregard too lightly. So glad to see this, because that is one thing I hate about face-slapping rebirth novels. This novel is also a breath of fresh air because the two of them, getting to start over, learn to communicate a lot better, which was sth they had missed in their last life. This novel is also startingly well MTL-able! <<less
