love clever scheming FLs who are strong and not damsels in distress. Most are Ancient Chinese but once in a while I'll read one thats... more>> not. Mostly read completed novels <<less

Cunning, calculative, clever female leads with top tier sharp barb dialogues.

After reading on NovelUpdates for 7+ years, this is my ongoing list of novels that were actually worth my time. I will mark which novels are for casual reading or not worth re-reading.... more>>

- No specific genre or plot types. 

- Mix of het, BL, and novels with no romance for the protagonist.

- Some healthy and some not-so-healthy relationships, but this is fiction!

- Some are more plot-heavy with lots of feelings, while others are for casual reading or a break from tragedy. 

- Novels by MXTX and any novels with official English localization not included on the list. <<less

Novels that are worth every moment

This hasn't been sorted out, rankings are the first novels I've read till its the most recent novel I was reading..(you can see how much my taste have changed hehe)... more>>

I also want to mention that due to some completed novels that looks like it has no chapters... is because of the translators locking the chapters and sites. You either have two or three options. ✿(P.S. I put a sign to distinguish at the end of each novel's bio to distinguish if its a password needed novel.....)✿

[ 1.)You can ask permission from the translators to read them but it doesn't really happen often ..

2.) or I recommend this method more which is, you can go to their website and read their explanation or bio on how to read the locked chapters, it varies. ***But in most cases, you can either DM their used social media like twitter to get the password. Or either get an invite from their discord; get verified; and get the password; and there you can finally read....(If you still can't find info or anything then the translator might have really deleted their translations, in worse cases you might never read those masterpieces...) ;-;

3.) There is also translators here who ban some countries due to bots ripping off their hard work. The only thing you could do is just use VPN. But if not, you are very very lucky..... cause my country is banned so I have to use VPN. *sobbing* ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д`ﾟ)ﾟ｡  ] <<less

As always they are 1v1 with HE
