All modern Novel I have Read & Drop 

Relationships that focus heavily on couple bickering, going from enemies to loves, and overall have a lot of s*xual chemistry even if it takes a... more>> while to act on it for some. There will be stories where ML forces himself on MC or coerce her into stuff. Even if they get together later and the ML is kinder there is usually some type of pain to reach happiness. Not for ppl who want only fluff. <<less

Normal ancient setting, mostly with some royalty trope or wuxia elements. No immortality included. ... more>>

Everything is 1v1, HE <<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.

I'm slowly working through these recs.... more>>

Please leave any recommendations if you have any :)

PS. These aren't arranged in any particular order

PPS. check trigger warnings as some are a bit heavy <<less

Only novels I actually loved and have re-read (or I’m planning to re-read). I also included xianxia here!... more>>

They are all Chinese novels and the romance is BG, there are a lot of rebirth/transmigration novels. No instant love here!

The female leads in all these novels is quite badass but not OP. They are smart and can be more or less scheming but they are all resilient in the face of adversities. 

⭐️ Since the novels here are already a selection of all the ones I’ve read, I’m giving a star to the absolute top 3! <<less

My KR BL list is still growing since its a new domain of interest for me.

LOVERS REUNITED.... more>>

I do like to bawl my eyes out on some angst but ABSOLUTELY no-no to tragedy or bad endings, I read novels to escape reality and reading HAPPY ENDINGS is the only right way to do so.

CW: my comments aren't hundred percent accurate but I wasn't the type to point out shitty things frequently. Give me a HE and I'm all good. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌ <<less
