For the novels that don't just expose endless descriptors, but also have a clever and well thought out story to tell. Whether it be tragic grinds that test your limits or joyful romps that celebrate life, these novels are things that I consider fulfilling reads from cover to cover. The novels that I unironically think are well written.... more>>

I have a bit of a hard on for Korean Novels in particular. It's just because of the stylistic choices these authors make. If Chinese Novels are about blood-thirsty, cruel, never-ending, arrogant, one-sided and shallow stories; and Japanese Novels are about weak-willed, nonsensical, piddling constantly hesitant stories; then Korean Novels are a different beast all together.

There are also novels that I REALLY loved reading but have no entries on this site. These novels are *legally* hosted on WebNovel and elsewhere. I will list the novels that struck me as abnormally good here in the description.

No description.

Stories centered around female leads that are charming and competent and able to get stuff done. Satisfying reads about smart women who find love.

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

Here's a list of novels you might enjoy if you, like me, want to read some good stories that don't force an unnecessary & underdeveloped romance subplot where it isn't needed.... more>>

So these stories will have minimal to no romance, and I despise the harem trope in general. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for good bromance/brotherhood/friendship/found family stories. I also won't add any series to the list that I haven't personally read.

I decided to create this list because I've seen many similar 'no romance' lists on the site from which I've gotten many great recommendations to the point they have now become my go-to sources for new novels.

- - - - - - - - - - -

I'll be trying to organize the list based on how good I personally think the books are, but I'm only really certain about the first 4 being my favorites, the list then gets quite ambiguous, but I personally really like everything on the first page.

In the descriptions, I'll include how many chapters of the series I have read as well as how much romance there has been up until where I've read, as well as additional thoughts/opinions/warnings that I might have about the series.

I'll try to update the list whenever I find another good series to add. If you know of any series you think I'd like based on my list I'm more than open to suggestions! 

UPDATED JUN 14TH Added "Nightmare's Call" to the list. <<less

looking for novels with a strong (either mentally or physically) female mc

This list includes some of the unlimited flow BL novels that I have read. It is ranked from my favorite to my least favorite (that does not mean I don't like it, it's just not as good as the others).... more>>

I have included my personal opinion, a small (inaccurate) summary and a skit to display the protagonists dynamic, at least the way I think they are (just to say this outright I have, tried to make them a bit funnier).

[Descriptions in progress!] <<less

In all of these, the female lead isn't weak-willed and dependent on the male lead. I enjoyed every book on this list, and hope you will too)
I also add links when I'm reading something in a different language(because it has more chapters), or in the case of reading the manga adaptation, the link to the manga.... more>>
