Most of them are romance themes though.  <<less

Books that are perfect to read when you feel naughty and don't have anyone to be naughty with!!! The books are all smut, some with... more>> good plots and characters. <<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>>

So, let's get crazy, shall we? <<less

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>>

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>>

If you guys have any titles you'd like to add or ones you disagree with just let me know in the comments ;) <<less

(No Ranks) #Kneel Before The Queens! <<less

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

✅ Completed

⭕ Started - not completed. <<less

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

Romance novels that will make you reconsider the pre-established order of things, that shine by their realism, that demand that you acknowledge cannon fodders, that hinder you in condemning villains. <<less

All novels are at least 4 stars or higher

Comment if you have any suggestions to add to it :) <<less

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

BL - 4.4 star rating and above.... more>>

I wanted to make this list consist solely of novels rated 4.5 stars and above but tbh, there were a few exceptions rated 4.4 stars that I personally believed deserved a much higher rating, so these also made it to the list.   

Various genres, the only common theme is that they are all BL.  <<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)

Rational MC, Knows when to sacrifice. Ruthless and decisive.
