The book said, I will take 99 steps towards you and you only need to take the remaining one step. But no need. I will run all one hundred steps and you don't have to do anything, just stand there and wait for me. ... more>>

I guess with age, our taste turns weirder. I no longer dream of the prince charming on a white horse, but rather, I've set my target on the cold and indifferent villain. So here is the list of my favorite, flawed yet amazing MLs. 

This is purely subjective and please follow the list if you have the same weird taste as mine and do tell if you have other recommendations.

 The list contains:

Him/her with his/her unrequited love;

Couples who were separated for a very long time and unsure of the other person's feeling, but stayed true and loyal to his woman;

Or an ML who caused misery/grievance to his woman at first but turned st*pidly sweet after the redemption arc.

With that being said, Im into MLs with emotional issues and social barriers so you may not like them at first. I dont like perfect and very good mannered MLs, I like them flawed!

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem.

Recommended novels not linked to NU. Most are less than 100 chapters including extras.. (titles and synopsis in the comment section, mtl'ed but decipherable) <<less

A man in full combat uniform especially a good looking one, is a must-see combination. And if the man is smoking so badassly, then that's deadly. If the FL can fight and save her own a** then that's even deadlier.... more>>

I remember a novel I once read. FL said, "How fun would it be to slowly unbutton a man's military uniform?". Well, in my dictionary, that's gonna be f*cking hot. Especially, if what I'll uncover are well defined muscles and sexy mermaid lines.

Please follow the list if you also love military theme or has the same weird taste as mine and do tell if you have other recommendations.

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem.

"Fate is really wonderful, it never waits for anyone. If you had turned back, maybe we would have started something; but if you missed an intersecting road, we would have drifted away."... more>>

Second chances/lovers reunited is my chocolate. 

They said, "love is sweeter the second time around". And I agree (just in novels tho). I love how they change/correct each mistake and better themselves for him/her so this time, the happy ending they dreamed of will come true.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste and do tell if you have other recommendations.

Secret love. For some people, it is war and chaos; for others, it is a warm spring with flowers blooming.... more>>

list of novels with either MLs/FLs having a onesided love who were given a second chance by meeting again after a few years or through rebirth.

MLs with unrequited love is what I preferred. Esp when they do have cold and indifferent demeanor yet they become patient and considerate with anything that has to do with her.
 

If it's meant to be, then its meant to be. Afterall, none can steal the love one is born to find.

please do tell if you have recommendation.

Another story is: "Tyranny of Steel" The story progress something like Release That Witch. MC makes Austria become a power house by introducing gun technology... more>> in an era of cold weapon. Some reader says its unacceptable since MC does not have super power like the witches in Release That Witch but the author keep mentioning the MC have an almost photographic memory and he is an engineering soldier who focus on technology knowledge. Warning: MC is grooming his teenage fiancé to be his wife. There are s*x scenes too. (Recommended but with warning: Adult/Mature tag.)  <<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

My favourite novels that I can't seem to get enough of.

It’s only normal for reincarnation nd transmigration novel to have a long chapter. So here, I found a few LONG ASS CHAPTERS novel with a... more>> GOOD PLOT! Truly gem! <<less

✿ A refined collection of the most illustrious novels to date. Most, if not all, include a series of the precursor elements below:... more>>

- A primarily homos*xual theme. 

- Fully translated, or at least semi-translated. (MTL perhaps)

- Takes place in a xianxia, wuxia, or similar fantasy-esque settings. Historical and militaristic settings are quite abundant as well. Modern--maybe only a select few.

- Good relationships and even better drama. 

- The more dark, problematic themes, the better.

(I also want to make it clear that although I do rank the novels on this list based on how much I liked them, even if I give a book a low rating they still made it to this list so they're still worth reading! i have only come across ONE novel that was so unbearable to read that It couldn't even be listed here lol)

a WIP list. I will succumb to jjxwc sooner rather than later.  <<less

Good Military novels - with a female protagonist! ^ - ^

From military training to sports, this list contains novels with athletes. With mentions of training and competition, it has novels with arcs containing rigorous practices, stamina, and endurance. ... more>>

- does not contain e-sports  <<less

none isekai plots

i have been exposed to much and now i am obsessed with bl. let me show you some which really stuck to me and i still reread it whenever i haven't found anything new.... more>>

edit: in the process of adding tags and a short review of each novel 

edit 1: me dumb only know how to say "AHHHH" when novel full of fluff

edit 2: the first 5 novels are my absolute favorite and to die for novels. not ranked because they're all number 1 for me <<less

for the people who are tired of face-slapping actresses, miracle medical geniuses, and gamer girls, aka the typical "novel" occupations 
most are 4+ stars; ordered by my read completion date (some are to-reads)... more>>

includes: fml and ml's occupations + my rating of how well career plays into the story + my review (if I've read it) 

My career-and-plot-integration rating criteria:

1- career is a feature of the fml's backstory and/or character setup; there's no function other than a way to meet other characters or cause drama; no actual work seems to be put into it; miscomprehension of the concept of a career

2- career is said to be important/life-long passion but is not delved upon beyond the surface level; may be prominent in an arc or two but is forgotten in most other chapters; instead of a romantic subplot, it's a work subplot; unrealistic depictions of career

3- career is somewhat important in fml's daily life; is mentioned consistently throughout the story but other things hold precedence; fml occasionally puts in some hard effort; partially realistic depictions of career

4- career is very important to the fml and she works hard on it; it may at times surpass the importance of other things like romance or personal wellbeing; obvious professional knowledge is referenced; mostly accurate depictions of career <<less

Female Lead novels, where the plot normally revolves around being reincarnated or reborn in the modern world.  This list also includes transformation or someone who changes who they used to be a better person.... more>>

This list normally revolves around modern day or empires and not ancient china kind of novels.
