I hate harem. Why? Because most of the time it leads the story to a direction that's not pleasing. And most of all I don't... more>> fantasize about having thousands of girl on my lap.  Hell I'm not even interested in romance . Anyway this list contains novels that have zero harem and maybe it will have novels that have romance, but almost all of them are not focused on romance
So enjoy (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ <<less

Les romans que je considère comme les meilleurs parmi tous ceux que je lis, il y en aura de tous les genres (presque) je n’ai... more>> pas mis d’ordre en particulier et j’ajouterai le reste quand j’aurai le temps <<less

I'd rather read these novels when they update than sleep... more>>

#49 - #57 are short stories/one-shot novels <<less

I'm a sucker for Protagonists with gorgeous faces. So here are some recommendations for face-cons like me :D... more>>

Edit: Who knew it would be hard finding pretty-faced MCs where their beauty is either heavily related to the plot or frequently mentioned? <<less

(just for organization)... more>>

stories that mainly follow an MC who's 'too busy for romance'- zero romance plot (almost)- majority of them are reincarnation stories, and I found more male-leading stories that fit the requirements. <<less

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. ... more>>

The novels you're gonna be seeing here are of course, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters spent to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

Found out there's a limit on how much you could add on the list so... I'm gonna be making a Recommendation list no. 2!

These are the novels that I highly recommend you all to read due to the great plot, character development, and sometimes just the plain joy... more>> it will bring to you to feel a part of the novel your are reading. It's got plenty of antihero and exciting plot that just keeps on giving. Synopsis near the bottom... usually, no promises.  <<less

settings: ranker system, fantasy world, and urban fantasy... more>>

focus: protagonists that are super overpowered and may be hiding their true identities/abilities for different reasons

note: i'm adding novels as i read them, so not all novels fitting the criteria will be here. pls give me recs! i love lazy overpowered protagonists the most (ง・▽・)ว

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. 

The novels you're gonna be seeing here is still the same, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.
