I've made this to keep track of those I'm currently reading. You can still use it as a reference though. I guarantee that what I'm reading is currently the cream of the crop of the current translation era. If you don't see your favorite novel, please feel free to comment and please relate it to my current list if possible. I'm also open for suggestions and I'll try to update the list as much as possible. Please be aware that this list composes of those I deem good or in my taste, so you might disagree with the few on the list.... more>>

Note: I remove the things I've completely read, so the list is very short. Also, the order is very relevant, though the top 5 usually swap position most of the time. <<less

Evil and Ruthless Male Protagonists... more>>

More info on what i am searching: (The title may not be entirely accurate.)

Evil mc ( someone who do not care about other people, and can do anything for his goals )

Ruthless mc ( someone who do not hesitate to kill )

Neutral mc ( Neither a good person, nor a bad person, But care more about his own profits, Rational-Pragmatic type of route )

No Romance ( For this one, i also mean, less romance or none maybe, as well. No romance and no female lead are different. )

No Heroine ( i will use this word for those novels where there is no female lead. ) This is a word you find usually in mtl.

P.S: My reviews might be rough sometimes, but they're my honest thoughts. I wouldn't share a novel in here if I didn't think there was something worthwhile. Use them as a guide and decide for yourself. Treat each novel like a Poison Test. Enjoy your reading! <<less

This list is for people, like me, who are tired of romance and just want to read a good story.

Content the following:... more>>

Not your typical dense MC (most of them are level-headed and has actual agency), yandere and messed up but intriguing dynamics (some of them), an actual mature way to portray a relationship, the girls take the lead or initiative, balanced relationships (most of them), Love interests that aren't your typical 'frustating and pushy alpha CEO", spicy moments, fluffs.

The preview I write about the stories will primarily focus on the MC & ML relationship. <<less

KR RoFan's with FLs I love. I'm really into "Jane Austen" level of gentle and kindhearted protagonists who come into their own as the story progresses, finding their strength, finding their voice, and learning lessons along the way (alongside their preferably equally kindhearted MLs)... more>>

*If you have any rec's, please drop them! <<less

I'm a sucker for Protagonists with gorgeous faces. So here are some recommendations for face-cons like me :D... more>>

Edit: Who knew it would be hard finding pretty-faced MCs where their beauty is either heavily related to the plot or frequently mentioned? <<less

These are novels I've read or I'm reading and came to like.... more>>

The following novels are not ordered and doesn't have any specific genre,

Feel free to check them out. I'm sure at least some of them will be of your taste.

I've rated on the scale of 10 and wrote descriptions for some of them or just few lines otherwise. 

[If not, then either it's has too less chapters (below 100) or I've stopped half-way (translation problem, didn't feel like re-reading to catch up to the latest chapters due to long brake or the story started going downhill) and just rated it to what I remember.]

Do comment if there are any corrections to be made.

[Some of the '... more>>' may not work ,I added them to troll those who didn't read this (kufufu), as I'm still editing it (Now at #22)]

Happy Reading! <<less

I will only include the one's that made me stick through thick and thin. Mostly no romance, if it's harem then you should expect that the MC is just using them for greater benefits. I don't like DUmb characters so you should also expect that most of the Male leads here or Female leads are smart or sharp. half of my list also include survival and teaches you some bitter reality lesson unlike those cliche novels that makes you scared or dream about nonsense fantasy stuffs.... more>>

I JUST RANDOMLY PLACE THE NOVELS AND I WON'T RANK IT. ( for me, they're all the best on their own way and techniques) 

[disclaimer: as I said, ‘mostly’ no romance- what I meant is in the survival stories, and if the protagonist is a man. But if the protagonist is a girl, they’ll be really romance. Book like that (top tier books with Female Mc w/ no romance) are very rare. I myself having some troubles finding them.] <<less

No description.

These are the smut novels I've read that I expected to be just smut... But I was pleasantly surprised. The plot is great and it's... more>> very exciting to read  <<less

This is a list for my personal 0.1%. ... more>>

Mainly strong female characters with brains, beautiful leads, power play or intrigue, good plot and world building. I do have soft spots for handsome men... more>> and handsome female leads. Sometimes with a dash of fantasy, but almost all the time historical. Not in any order. <<less

 It's too wide of a range to specify a particular type, just that they are all BL's. Most are completely translated, some aren't.

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. ... more>>

The novels you're gonna be seeing here are of course, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters spent to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

Found out there's a limit on how much you could add on the list so... I'm gonna be making a Recommendation list no. 2!
