Mostly BG romance with smart FL and ML. I have read lots of books , but these are the ones I would go back to reread in the future and recommend to anyone. I love complicated plots, dark romance, tortured love with some angst. I lean more towards historical for now till I find a good enough modern to add to this list. Plots may contain uncomfortable scenarios but each book is worth the read. ... more>>

Interesting plots, good writing and smooth translations are very important to me.  <<less

I've seen way more petty reviews than mine, stuff that is straight against the guidelines like comments about the translator, foul language, BIG spoilers, and even one-sentence... more>> reviews.... They stay on this site unlike these three...  :'s  If any mod sees this, please tell me what's wrong with them so we can solve the problem. I reported them multiple times but there was no feedback.  <<less

Just reads of self-diagnosed '100% steel straight' men taking u-turns, like it's their day job.

This is a curation of quality and cute storylines (if not perfectly translated) in the romance genre that I’ve personally read and liked on NU. BG only. The ranks are just for listing and do not indicate my preference. I like overpowered but also practical protagonists, tropes where the love interest falls in love first, and a rags to riches tagline. Exceptions are made for really good comedy and heartwarming slice of life. Thanks for reading! 

**Sometimes the site adds links to stories for different/newer translations so if you notice quality issues please let me know. It is not my intention to make you read second rate MTL.  <<less

List of modern romances worth your time.

(Updated: 4/19/24) Works that I enjoy in spite of shoddy writing &/or red flags. OR they can just be really great in general lol. Can’t believe I’ve read enough to make a part 2 of this list... more>>

My preferred taste is FLUFFY, but I also sport for the occasional angst & tearjerker novel. Modern stories are personally easier to digest. Historical or xianxia/cultivation stories are loaded with Chinese references & I can easily get lost. However, they can be very poetic & beautiful, which is why I bear the pain of treading carefully. Unlimited flow is a fun pastime at the cost of my brain cells.  <<less
