Some good ol' replacement lovers! May or may not be a result of misunderstandings, misidentification, or general tomfoolery (and some mental manipulation and other dark means). Not in any particular order. Genuinely surprised there weren't more on my reading list, though. **(only what I've read so far). ... more>>

A wide variety of crematorium/wife-chasing, entertainment, paycheques, and messy contractual situationships. Happy reading! Or not, lmao. Also, various occasions of the "white moonlight" actually turning out to be MC/ML themselves. Aka either massive comedic or angst value! <<less

These  novels  have heavy angsty events which will never be solved, it won't give you closure and will definitely scar you for life, some will interpret the ending differently  but it surely isn't a happy hopeful interpretation.  <<less

No description.

I’m just gonna toss all the novels (mainly danmei) I’ve ever read in my life here. Expect lots of yapping. I may go into unnecessary detail sometimes if I feel the nostalgia kickin' in... more>>

Expect from this list what you would see a sophisticated 12 year old would read (interpret that as you will). If that’s not helpful enough, I’m into slow burns (holding hands in the 10th chapter? HELL NO!), am a permanent passenger on the angst train, and require all or some of my characters to have some moral ambiguity (so I can toy with my own)! On the opposite end of the spectrum, I’m not into omegaverses, infinite flow, harems, and whatever the hell mpreg has to offer (seriously, get that sh*t away from me).

I also have the attention span of a goldfish so if you see a review that looks incomplete then <<less

No description.

Commence the wife/partner chasing. get to grovelling and beg for forgiveness! May or may not have sufficient retribution. 

BG romance with capable female protagonist, or female protagonist stories with no romance. I really dislike ditzy romance heroines who are more interested in their outfits than beating up scumbags (you know, those kind of dodder flower heroines who need to wait for their hero to come save them). So this is a list exclusively for just strong female leads. Mostly Korean rofan, rebirth/return, action, transmigration, isekai or transported into book type genres. ... more>>

You can try checking out this forum post, where other people listed a bunch of Chinese strong FL recs that I didn't read yet (I also listed a few with only webtoon or manhua versions): https://www.novelupdatesforum.com/threads/have-you-read.181735/ <<less

Contain selected novel from hundreds of title in my reading list

I haven't read the novels (maybe just dipped in or out of a chapter or spoiler), so my impression of the manhwa is ≈unbiased. The exception is The Villainess Lives Twice: I've read the novel, and found it better.... more>>

In a rough order. 

Encompasses a lot of different genres. I mostly steer clear of horror though.  <<less

All the heart-wreaching, painful story I read for no apparent good reason. Only my masochist heart love to read it, knowing its painfu and pitiful.
