this list contains some the BG novels i liked, all of them have a female protagonist and action elements, though it differs in what kind,... more>> some are cultivation based, some are modern etc. <<less

This list includes those FL that have calm & collected or cold & strong personalities (or both). ... more>>

They know how to deal with people and situations. They think before they act and are really straightforward. 

Sometimes it's hard for them to express their feelings that's why we have our ML to dote on them. Some of them have low EQ high IQ, or the way they cultivate feelings is really slow-paced. 

Most FL are OP, and they vary from students, to actresses, CEOs, etc. 

Lots of fluff and face-slapping.  <<less

Stories that I absolutely love and some are that amazing and adapted to drama and some are good to read and kinda sweet and have good endings.... more>>

These stories are made if people don't like dog blood drama in their novels like me. Some people may find loopholes in these stories if you don't like it just shut up. This list is mixed and you may find some stories that vary genre.

As long as I find good novels that are translated, I will add it here. Some people may find this childish but I actually enjoyed this so please don't bash me. <<less

Going back in time, travelling in another world, yada yada. 

Interesting novels with assassin٫thief or rouge protagonist.

Novels with Badass٫cold female protagonist from really good to readable quality 

Fav romances! Completed ones like my all time n.1 “Lucia”, to new promising stories like “To help you understand!”.

There won't be many novels on this list (maybe). I'm very selective. Being a cool MC is not enough. They need to be full of swag. Pure S W A G. ... more>>

So charismatic they can bend people. 

Those are the standards.  <<less

Not your typical FL/plot (mostly tragic undertone)... more>>

Order of novels matters (for the first 15 smth, then I won't bother sorting them anymore) PS: Order greatly influenced by the time I read them, how well I remember them and by the uniqueness of the FL ( once I get infatuated with her nothing else matters)

The tags are for all novels, but not all novels have all tags. The tags represent the things that I look for in novels. It's hard to find all of them in a single novel, if you find 5 in one it's really good, but to find it in 10 it's sadly only a dream.  So if you love one of this novels, you'll probably love the other too even if it's different. Each novel has at least 4 of those tags and other thrilling ones (manipulative FL, aloof FL, genius protagonist, charming FL, sharp-tongued FL, stubborn protagonist, murder and crimes, tough past plays an important role, reincarnation, revenge, second chance, mature feeling, mature FL, calm FL, doting love interest, power couple, devoted love interest, seduction)

The similarity between all: 

- not a fragile, submissive, prude and weak-willed FL

- not an a**hole, abusive ML

- not a dumb and repetitive vocabulary and sentences, such as: "obedient", "good girl", "nooo" (saying it just to have smth to say), a lot of s*upid unnecessary exaggerations of curses from antagonists etc

- honest, unconditional love

- good plot/ really good plot/ super unique

- from good to really good translations <<less

I like BL with a happy ending and 1 vs 1 couple, with side couple, and mix genre to fantasy, modern, transmigrations, gaming and apocalypse. Mostly with completed translations or finish in the mtl novel web.... more>>

The sequence is random, just look at the stars in description. <<less

This is a list of novels that, I have read and believe it shows most of the traits ,I have given in title.

I have decided to makes this list in order to celebrate reaching 150 completed and 400 read novels marks. ... more>>

I don't read/like yaoi, yuri, female protagonist or shoujo novels, so there won't be any on this list. 

In order for a novel to appear here, it must meet the following requirements:

1 - At the very least, I must be up to date with translations. However, in most cases I am up to date with raws or have completed it.

2 - List will only include those novels with an actual plot, MCs who actually work hard and power systems which have something unique about them, because  I am not a fan of novels with dumb MCs with massive luck, who don't have to struggle, collects girls like pokemon, absolutely generic power systems and 0 plot.

For those novels, which came close but did not manage to enter the list, I made another list :)

NOTICE: Recently, I've been reading less because I can't spend as much time online. Be warned that any comments you see in this list may be outdated if the novel has been updated a lot in the past few weeks.... more>>

When the protagonist is an unfaithful loser, do you have the urge to transmigrate into the novel to give him a good beating? If so, I present to you a list of novels I enjoyed with an overpowered male protagonist and no harem. Featuring:

- overpowered protagonist
- no harem, preferably no romance
- loner, antihero, or evil protagonist (not a guarantee)
- no slice of life (you know, the kind that seems to plague 99% of JP novels)

Numbers 52~60 are novels that don't have that many chapters or that I'm too lazy to read... 

LMAO have you guys read the top review on Tomb Raider King? It's so funny and true, hahaha...If you've actually read the novel or the manhwa, that review will leave you rolling on the floor in laughter. It makes me wonder why the manhwa is rated so high.

Huh? The harem tag for The Strongest System was removed??? Time to read it again. The protagonist may have two wives according to the wiki, but it's okay if he was just reverse r*ped by one of them... <<less

mc can use his brain ,not like other mc who being controlled by its own "novel"

"The repentance of scum*!"" The repair of scum*!"" The redemption of scum*!"... more>>

It is a theme in many novels. In almost every novel, ML starts out as a Scum*! But there are different types of scum* ... some more acceptable (in context), others intolerable and unforgivable!

They are described as handsome, cold, dominating, powerful, intelligent, ambitious, arrogant, proud, heartless ... However, ironically, they can be easily deceived by misunderstandings, evil suspicions and "the pitiful white lotus" (the b*tch) and end up mistreating , harming, hurting, abusing, poisoning or torturing FL unfairly. ლಠ益ಠ)ლ

Later, when the truth is revealed, they regret everything they have done, discover that they love FL and cannot live without her! They change to be the best male for FL! Humpf! But it is so late ... hahaha a joke! t(=n=)

We like to see them suffering, begging, crawling ... but it is never enough! Or, unfortunately, they don't even suffer from anything, they don't beg for anything but they keep the girl in the end! (ಠ ∩ಠ)

The Scumbag ... So hateful and ruthless in ancient times! So merciless and assh * le in modern days. ¬¬

The Scumbag also really changes to a better person and turns cold love into kind of sticky, sweet and obsessive love. 

>>Ok! Not everything is so bad! There are some novels that are good readings when they have a good plot and a strong and capable FL!  <<less

Forgotten Conqueror Series by Za1d3

King's Dark Tidings Series by Kel Kade

Eat-Man by Akihito Yoshitomi <<less

Female protagonist with successful love life.

Novels about MC's who only care about themselves. To them, everyone else is a side character who they don't care if they live or die. ... more>>

*Note: Some novels on this list will have the MC care about literally one person, if they care about more than one it's not going to be added* <<less

Good novels, but have a lot violence and are generally more mature
