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

美人挑灯看剑 — It's chaotic lmao. MC transmigrated into a beautiful troublemaker who died 800 years later in his life but instead of trying to change it he's just like "why should I behave when I can live freely for 800 years?" 

And here's a few of my similar lists in case you're interested. 

But even if you aren't interested, I'm going to do my shameless self-promo anyways. Want to get rid of these ads? Buy spotify premium or maybe sacrifice that one annoying kid in your neighbourhood who always emits such inhuman noises while playing outside, making it impossible to discern whether it's his gleeful laughter from playing with his friends or anguished cries after witnessing Elmo devour his brother.

Ps: It's 3am. I had too much coffee. And this kind of situation always results in me cackling at the dumbest things possible, so please ignore it if any of my jokes here are weird. I'll either fix them and move on, or keep them and live with the shame.  <<less
