My personal favorite smut with a good plot

Don't ruin your day. It's not your obligation, but the roller coaster story :)

ML of these novels is mainly sweet and loveable. Their devotion to MC's is very heartwarming. These novels are an absolute must-read!! Highly recommended :) Most of them are completed. I will keep this list updated so a new novel will be added at the bottom if I do find one.  ... more>>

Tired of naive female protagonists? Close to losing it because you can't stand another clumsy MC that doesn't consider the consequences of her actions and somehow gets everything to work out either due to her OP male suitors or just dumb luck?... more>>

Well good news! 

Here is a compilation of mature female protagonists who are calm, level-headed, and rational. All hail these practical queens that can stand on their own, against all odds, with or without the male lead. 

PS: My queen ratings have nothing to do with how much I liked the novel. I rated all of these novels 4 or 5 stars and I think they're all really good. <<less

Slice of life type of stories with very straight no bull*hit romance. ... more>>

Sometimes you need to take a break and just enjoy breezy love with maturity and understanding.

I can assure you that you won't be triggered to throw your phone across the room.

Most of them are romance themes though.  <<less

I'm honestly tired of runaway FLs and groveling MLs trope that overpowers 90% of rofan K-novels. Yes, I might get canceled for this, but what can I say? That trope isn't my cup of tea, even after reading tons of similar stories.... more>>

I really like when the protagonist has high EQ and IQ. Most of these protagonists are mature, cold, pragmatic and smart.

Older working adults dealing with older working adult problems. Protagonists must be dealing with realistic issues, be mentors, have a competent outlook on life, or... more>> just generally act like old people :P <<less

Nicely written novels (in my opinion compare to the usual quality of mtled webnovels). These stories are the ones who caught my attention from the first chapter and got me reading til dawn. Definitely not for everyone. My love for a book depends on the writing style of the author and the translation so don't expect stories with flashy plot. ... more>>

Obsessed with rofan, and sometines tr*shy mls too. Expect a lot of isekai and age regression. They're all tolerable plotwise imo. I'm a josei fan so most, if not all, have mature themes. Some have smuts. Also a sucker for arrange marriage trope which is why marriage is a common factor among the novels. I'll continue to add more as long as rofan exists  <<less

As the title says Intelligent MC.... more>>

I dislike hot blooded, overly emotional and dumb MCs, so this list won't contain any such novels. 

On the other hand i like scheming MCs, so expect such novels.

P. S- This is another list from my previous account (which i lost)

Well-written, enjoyable plots with really good ML's and smart MC's. I have reviews on each one. Enjoy! :)

Serious/Seinen themes with as less cliché elements as possible. Preferably clever and calm MCs. No harems, maybe one odd love interest but nothing frivolous. Negligible... more>> comedy tropes.  <<less

I feel like the title " spicy but with at least a little bit of a plot" is pretty none explanatory. I'll do my best to make sure that the novels I include all tread that line between an innocent romance story and outright p*rn.  I just want it to be known though that these choices were hard to make.....where is the line between no plot and a sliver of a plot *sigh*... more>>
