✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived  my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.... more>>

PS: The others novels I liked, but not enough to be featured here, are in my yearly "New Favorite Historical Romances" lists. <<less

There are so many amazing works that feature regressed MCs that are going through a second chance in management, corporate ladders, sports, cooking, etc. Definitely stronger list than the second chance in fantasy. Wanted to make a list that specifically targets this genre.... more>>

First, some of the best that aren't on NU:
1. Trailer tr*sh - wonderful depiction of a second chance high school life with strongly developed characters
2. Metaworld chronicles - only barely qualifies because it's really a fantasy world, but it's an alternate modern day Earth, with great detail and development of cultures and places and set in a modern society, if magic based
3. Let me make you a star - [have not yet read] but has good ratings, comment if you've had a chance to read it!

In addition, there are a number of great drama/TV shows (JP, CN and KR) of second chances that I highly recommend if you like this genre. I've added them in a comment below the list.

If you enjoy second chances, you can also try my other lists on:
- Second chances in fantasy (https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10749/)
- Time loops (includes movies and webnovels not on NU - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/) <<less

Male Cinderella gets pampered!  Our checklist; huge social gap, huge disparity in wealth and power, domineering gong (usually. watch out for domineering rich shou!), most common occurrence that is FACESLAP. (w/c is my guilty pleasure). Usually the poor or ordinary lover has a sad background that deserves to make him happy and spoiled... more>>

 Our tags: #cinderella shou  #cinderella gong #CEO #male empress #boss x subordinate #poverty #rise to ashes #revenge 

This list has no update schedule. (Funny how I still ended up creating lists similar to my manga account LOL only this time it's webnovels)

mini(c-novel) glossary: 
▪ golden master - sugar daddy basically. 

▪ big tree - strong & capable one can rely on. Usually in the position of a protector. 

▪ golden thigh - The act of relying on the big guy. A mix of golden master and big tree

▪ pendant - commonly used together w/ golden thigh. Sort of like making oneself a little follower to gain benefits.

▪ black-bellied - Looks gentlemanly outside but ruthless deep inside. Has a wide spectrum. From mere Prankster to full-on Yandere. 

▪ crematorium - the painful process of chasing someone after loosing them. In bl, the shou is the "wife"

▪  HE/BE - Short for Happy Ending or Bad Ending <<less

this list contains novels in which the MC is reincarnated into a child. These stories contain lot of fluff.

WARNING!

my notes may include major spoilers cause I've included my overall opinion of the story/ description of the story for myself since I'm lowkey copying the notes I made while reading. <<less

Romance novels that will make you reconsider the pre-established order of things, that shine by their realism, that demand that you acknowledge cannon fodders, that hinder you in condemning villains. <<less

Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/64452/... more>>

Most of the novels I read have complete proper translations so if the red completed tag isn't there, that means there is a quality translation somewhere on the internet, it just isn't linked here in NU for REASONS. 

So just search it up because I'm too lazy to edit every novel description QAQ (maybe I will still eventually do that in the future tho). 

I will also try my best to indicate those I MTLed, but they should all be with many chapters released already (maybe some are even completed now bcs a few of these I read a long time ago), I just google translated the last 15 chapters or so. 

Hope I help some of you find good novels to read. In alphabetical order for now, will sort later~ <<less

This list contains stories on my reading lists where MC or someone else important in the story was switched at birth or the family replaced real child with a fake one later on. In most of these stories the biological family does not treat MC right. In cases where MC is replaced after birth the real child was usually either lost at young age or had a reason for replace the real child with a fake.... more>>

Descriptions may contain spoilers. They help me remember the contents of the novel.

I added a few novels that can't be found on NU in the comments.

My personal ratings:

5 - I really love this novel. Will read this again again.

4 - I really like this novel. Will read this again.

3 - this is a nice novel. I liked it. I might read this again.

2 - this novel was okay, but I wouldn't want to read it again. Usually I find these rather boring, or at least not interesting enough to check out again.

1 - I didn't like this novel. <<less

This list is a compilation of webnovels where the FL and ML are technically family members, but are not biologically related. I want to make this a comprehensive list of fake in*est webnovels, so I will be ignoring the rating and just including a basic summary of what kind of "fake in*est" the plot falls under.... more>>

The summary under each entry is in the following format:

▶ Category - Explanation of category

▶ More details on the relationship (so people know what they're getting into).

Webnovels in this list will fall into one of the following categories:

▶ Switched at Birth (FL or ML was switched with another character at birth)

▶ Pretender (FL or ML is pretending to be a family member)

▶ Adopted (FL or ML was adopted into the family and is not blood related)

▶ Transmigrated (sub-category; FL or ML is a transmigrator/had their soul switched/etc)

▶ Misunderstood (FL and ML are not related, but for some reason outsiders believe they're related)

Webnovels will not be included if: 1. it contains actual blood-related in*est; 2. the webnovel is obviously meant to be in*est and the lack of blood-relation was only added to avoid the censors.

(note: This list is catered to women/shoujo and josei readers, so it will not contain seinen or shounen.

note2: I'm just one person, so I probably won't be able to find all the webnovels that can go under this list. If you have a webnovel you want to suggest, please comment or PM me.) <<less

This list is specifically for second chances/age regression in fantasy, historical or VRMMO settings. 
- Not transmigration stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16246/)
- Not time loop stories (see: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/)
- Not second chances in modern society (see:  https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10745/)... more>>

I'll start with a big recommendation for:
1. Metaworld chronicles - wonderful series with well developed characters, magic, monsters and dragons, all set to a really well explored alternate modern Earth fuelled by magi-tech. It's the best in the genre and you should try it out!
2. Selena's Reign - only around 20 chapters out so far, but they're really well done. Beautiful descriptions (though sometimes a bit verbose) and the best depictions of a late 18th century setting that I've seen in an online fantasy. Read this for the magical second chance messiah in a gritty, Louis XIV->Napoleon type time frame world.
3. The Calamity of a Reborn Witch - more of a shoujo take on things, it's filled with political plots and conspiracies of a cinderella type heroine in a rather dark fantasy world
4. Forgotten Conqueror (this was on hiatus for a long time but restarted on the author's site) <<less

Don't expect many harems with characters who can't think for themselves or fall in love with the MC before page 1. Many might have a slow moving plot... have to invest yourself into the characters to find the tragic, beautiful and poignant!... more>>

First, some English original webnovels that are superb and easily googleable (in order of best characters, not necessarily plot): 
1. Trailer tr*sh
2. Iron Teeth
3. Castle Kingside (rewrite)
4. Metaworld Chronicles
5. The Good Student
6. Worm (Parahumans)
7. AnimeCon Harem (18+)
8. Mother of Learning
9. Selena's Reign
10. Double Blind: A modern litRPG
11. Tidal Lock (unfinished)

Note that I've been recently pruning and updating the list to remove some that were just good stories with average characters and move them over to new lists that are top of their genre. You can see all my rec lists at https://www.novelupdates.com/user/10378/tallrice/ <<less
