Some people rate based on the publisher, I rate through the lies.

This is based on my personal taste. 

All of these novels are fluffy romance so gear up to feel the sweetness.

I enjoy novels for two main reasons. First, when they have well-written characters, couples, and their interactions, along with touching relationship development. Second, when they... more>> feature a well-thought-out and well-written plot. This list focuses on the first aspect. Novels are listed in descending order from most favorite. <<less

Perhaps it is only a good person during a time of chaos, but there is nothing more wonderful than to save a life. List of novels motivated by a great benevolence towards the suffering of the common people who usually go unnoticed during eras of great change. <<less

I'm pretty selective when it comes to picking novels. I need either a compelling summary or some solid reviews and ratings to catch my interest. But even then, sometimes that's not enough. If a book doesn't hook me within a couple of chapters, it's out. There are too many great ones waiting for my attention.... more>>

Right now, I'm all about modern settings. It's my go-to genre, though I'm open to exploring different genres within that backdrop. Slice of Life is my absolute favorite, so you'll probably see more recommendations in that vein.

For now here's the list of those high rated novels with good reviews that did not disappoint me. I will also try to find some hidden gems.  <<less

This list is subjective, based on my preferences in analyzing novels as a whole, such as aspects: characterization of characters, world building, plot and other... more>> aspects. <<less

No rankings! All random order... more>>

Just a list consisting of characters who apply to at least one of the following tags as stated in list. Some characters will have all 5 of the applied tags, others only would have 1 tag at most. Some might only be ‘slightly’ cold or calm but still will be on this list, alas falling under the category. 

The story will consist of all types of novels like the typical Korean transmigration stories to the angsty danmei. All types, infinite flow, a deep slice of life I keep my word…
Currently updating so more stories will come on here, will try to find some hidden gems, I have been on this site for a while and have only just made an account so you will have to bare with me, as I try to find those stories I have read a long time back

Also would be very nice if anybody reading this recommended anymore stories to add onto this list as I have been desperately searching for actual decent stories with this tag. Surprisingly not many stories actually fulfil this tag successfully and I rather not add some derelict dull 2000+ novel with op mc, rather stories that will captivate your interest <<less

Read Lord of the Mysteries and fell absolutely head over heels for it. these are some novels i think have similar elements: lovecraftian/occult horror, steampunk/victorian vibes, themes of humanity fighting against fate, etc.  A mix of read and TBR, as well as BL/GL/gen.... more>>

Recs from outside of Novelupdates:

- Mother of Learning on RoyalRoad, TBR. time loop f*ckery babeyyy. apparently there’s a good magic system and some character development. I’ve heard nothing of good things about this one!

- The Forsaken Sovereign on Webnovel, TBR. LOVECRAFTIAN THEMES AND ELDRITCH GODS I AM SO EXCITED. 

(feel free to forum message me to gush about any of these novels!) <<less

Though a lot of it is fiction, it's still great reading about doctors and medical treatments.... more>>

These novels are a great Read whether you're a doctor, wannabe doctor or simply interested in Reading about medicine.  <<less
