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.

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, mu*der 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

Genres included - Mystery, Romance, Thriller, Psychological, Mature, Action... more>>

Books aren’t heavily focused on romance or have a side plot which doesn’t make you too overwhelmed with romance. <<less

danmei novels in ancient settings with historical elements with themes of empire building and/or political schemes, conpiracies, palace intrigues, war strategies, etc. 

The reading list consists of Korean and Chinese novels about people rising to stardom, making a name for themselves as behind-the-scene contributers, or talented traditional painting artists who strive for pure beauty of art.... more>>

Some chinese novels are yaoi and BL so it might not suit your taste, korean novels are either out of romance aspect or depict love between a man and a woman after great challenges.

The list is not a place where I put all the alike novels in. I have chosen novels with good to excellent plot, writing and translation, in other words, they the novels I love and have praised the most out of hundreds of art-related novels out there.

Hope you enjoy it! ～\（≧▽≦）/～ <<less

Mostly includes, xaunhaun,xianxia and wuxia (fav genres of mine). 

1 to 24: Novels I read completely (if not ongoing), sorted in order of personal preference.... more>>

25 to ?: Novels I plan on reading in the future, not sorted.

Male centric (male protagonist) novels in both modern and ancient settings, no BL unless it's a little bromance (meaning, author may have added a dash of bromance for fan service, but no actual shounen ai or yaoi included in this list). Shounen, seinen, xuanhuan, no-CP (no romance) or novels featuring a little straight romance but mostly focused on action/adventure (ie, romantic subplot). One novel is harem with a sis con, but I enjoyed the MC and plot enough that it didn't bother me too much. Another novel is harem but only depicted in the extras, which I skipped!

Majority of these had fan translations completed at some point, so you can find them on various novel aggregator websites if the chapter links are gone from NU. <<less

Esses são meus romances chineses favoritos e resolvi criar essa lista para quem procura romances chineses

BL novel where I am in love with the protagonists. ... more>>

Few traits of MC that I really like are listed as tags. Though I don’t like stereotype where the MC is an idiot or dense throughout the entire novel and mostly I am into cunning & clever protagonist. 

P.S this is my personal preference!  <<less

Ever got tired of the same old sh!t of questionably problematic relationships? Or of some stup!d characters and world building? ... more>>

If so, here lies a humble list of my favorites, in which the MC's are likable and the ML's aren't ªssholes in plot disguise... 

(Will include themes like reincarnation, transmigration, Isekai, time travel, revenge/strategic plots, xianxia, fantasy/medieval/sci-fi/game worlds, romance, friendship, badªssery, humor, drama, action, adventure and, more)
