Genre is mixed, anything that makes me spend days reading it! Any novels that makes me feels intense emotions! The order doesn't matter~... more>>

All kind of pairing might come up(or even no pairing)! For example, while it's not pure BL, the sense of bromance is high so its possible if you want to ship it. Even if BL show up there won't be R-18 stuff in here, I'm more fond of fluff and slow burn than smut. Also healthy relationship only!! 

I also love wholesome relationship development so family / friendship genre will definitely show up! The trope that will show up frequently is Found Family, Misunderstanding(not between the couple but to others lol), Fluff, Slow Burn, Angst, BAMF, etc.  <<less

Pristine's All-time Favorites.... more>>

Either the story is addictive to re-read (category A), has a satisfying end (category B), or both (category C).

There are stories with male protagonist, but many of them are stories with female protagonist.

Update: some books that haven't been categorized yet are mostly the recently added ones, but they are no less amazing than other stories listed earlier in this list. <<less

besties! found family! ride or die! best friend gangs! 

stories of mixed genres that grow on you

i'm very picky with what i read, and throughout my danmei binge, these novels are the ones that stood out to me the most (while... more>> also being criminally underrated). on the technical level, all the novels here are guaranteed high quality translations—great grammar, natural flow, poetic language. hopefully you find a couple hidden gems from this list! <<less

This list is mostly consists of romance novels I've finished and really liked. Most of them are all sweet-fluffy types with some realistic and friendship... more>> building novels. The order is mostly random except for the top 5 which are made of my favorites. <<less

Most fo them idk yet. ... more>>

No smut, ai, yaoi, yuri.

Almost no harem.  <<less

Basically novel I personally love so much I don't want to ever forget them.

Lovers that have known each other since childhood and lovers that are each other’s best friends. 

No description.

"shameless protagonist" tag just for mo ran ;D

Sometimes, the hints of a very deep bromance is more satisfying than
reading an actual BL. These are all novels that are NOT BL and do not
have any gay couples, it just feels that way to the trained fujo eye.... more>>

"Unrated" means that I have not read the novel yet. <<less

it's exactly as the list name says. the bromance/close friends (who are coincidentally pretty strong/good-looking) is prominent in these novels and romance is non-existent or... more>> at a minimum (i'll mention it if otherwise). these are largely strong mc in some manner and action-y (there's always some aim imo) <<less

[ACADEMY LOVE]

these are some korean+chinese novels that i have read in the past and really liked. there are obviously a lot of really famous ones. they are a wide range of genres ranging from action to slice of life (no romance tho). hope you like my list. ... more>>

p.s. im still writing my reviews and thoughts, so the list is not finished lol. it is not exactly reviews, its more like my stream of consciousness... 

i wanted to create a separate list for bromance, but i realized that almost all of the novels here have it. so, i will put them together here, but will specify the status of romance plot and bromance in each novel.

also its so hard finding good no romance novels...

p.s. there might be some novels with romance subplot. mostly it will be really minor and never interfers with the main goal or it is usually written in the extras after hints of romance in the main story. <<less

No just ML and FL and antagonists only, who are painfully dependent on each other to build the plot. No BG, no CP, no BL,... more>> no Harem, no Ecci. Captivating plot, idea and interesting, lively characters who want to empathize and whose life you feel. Look at top-list because I don't know how to describe novel properly to interest anyone enough to read what I recommend, but the numbering was meant as it is. Check for genres too please. <<less

Been a BL fan most of my life....love likeable MCs and hate plots that are too hard to understand. This used to be a list of BL i recommend and i was gonna make a separate list for uncompleted and/or ones that I finished but aren't exactly my fave but im too lazy for that. ... more>>

P.S. it takes a lot of brain power for me to read danmei novels so I only read the ones I really like. 
All of these are my own opinion <<less
