Hidden gems for me.  Searching needles in the haystack means trying to find very rare thing that you want under harsh circumstances and usually its very hard to find that. No yaoi and related stuffs. No adolescence, ecchi and harem. I have been reading light novels for 8 years or more and I will add whenever I come into something cool. I am up for your recommendations whether its ln or not.... more>>

My takes after reading 100+ webnovels.... more>>

Male MCs only. No BL. I tend to like fantasy/sci-fi with a slice of life or romance focus the most rather than pure action. I find novels that have nothing but fight scenes very boring. <<less

Completely Translated Stories that set in the past with reincarnation of a Female Lead and is set as a slice of life with farming involved.

These are my fav novel recommendations of Ancient China. Imo, these novels are good and rather satisfying both story and MC personality. In these lists, none of novels have any naive and s*upid MC. And every novel has satisfying face slapping drama that relief lung and heart.... more>>

TITLES I WOULD ADD BUT FOR SOME REASON CAN'T FIND:

1) The Lady and The Beast <<less

My personal list for this niche genre of novels - will be adding as I read. Charisma and leadership do not come easy, but they sure as hell come naturally for these protagonists. Charismatic MCs with significant focus on character and ability growth, kingdom / army / career development & management, and/or wholesome friendships / brotherhood. Romance (if any) will only be subplots, not the main focus. I've put short descriptions and summaries of every novel, plus my thoughts on them.... more>>

Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience. I change my ratings often. Feel free to recommend more or point out any mistakes in my sorting of this list. Cheers!

*[CC] - Collecting Companions, aka collecting and raising loyal companions. Brotherhood, friendship, blablabla. [CC] focuses more on picking up and raising companions without necessarily having to develop a full kingdom/empire.

*[KB] - Kingdom Building. I'll use this abbreviation as a general umbrella term for anything to do with (insert noun)-building and management. [KB] by association would also include raising the people in that empire/kingdom, but the novels focus more on the development/management part. <<less

Historical novels with a female protagonist living in the period between 1960-1990 . Who doesn't like to get rich and improve their living conditions?

Just novels that I've liked. Mostly story driven with minimal romance.

Stories set in China in the 1960’s to 1990’s that are worth reading. List contains comedy + slice of life with cute buns and heartwarming... more>> family relationships. <<less

Farming - Nurturing - Raising
