A list of Novels I personally like and enjoyed. Potential rereads. Not in order.... more>>

Also please understand that these are my views/opinions so feel free to disagree but don’t send hate ~

Novels chosen based on something unique that they each have that differs from the rest within the same genre.

That is : World Building, Characters, Plot, Writing or just straight up Humour.

I’ve read much more but these are the few that stood out to me. Hope you enjoy! <<less

Misunderstanding novels where the Protag is trying to reach one goal but everyone misinterprets them and thinks they are doing something else.

List of stories that portray realistic romance set in modern time. The main leads are adults and mostly have career - which varies from actor, lawyer, doctor, professional athlete, office worker, etc.... more>>

I don't include stories that have mystery/crime as their main or sub genre; there is another list dedicated for it. I also don't include tragedy with bad ending since my heart can't handle too much sadness.

NB: In the list below, you can read the bracket as [Female Lead x Male Lead]. <<less

These novels have overpowered main characters that use their abilities without regarding the common sense of the world. Some are completely oblivious to the fact... more>> that there're overpowered; and others know their overpowered, but tend to forget that fact or (fail to) hide it. Either way, other characters generally can tell that the main character is overpowered.  <<less

basically novels that are funny/ interesting due to misunderstandings of the protagonist power or their character.... more>>

Angel Densetsu is japanese manga that uses the same trope give it a go if you have time <<less

I just lump what I like here, do see if you found anything you liked, and comment for recommendations. (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧... more>>

(This list has no consistency, I just throw in what I like.) ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭ <<less

Mcs that are misunderstood by everyone. ... more>>

Everyone believes that the mc is the most kind and pure person, when in fact they are not. <<less

Because sometimes we need bitter tea.... more>>

Novels I literally shed tears for. <<less

Novels that I would pay to forget! These are not recommendations but a warning

what it says on the tin. ... more>>

personal thoughts do not correspond with the ranking. 

feel free to recommend other similar novels as well!  <<less

ah yes, the misunderstandings and cognitive dissonance... more>>

The list is ranked from most like Cale's personality to the least like Cale's personality.

I'll use the following criteria (doesn't have to meet them all):

1. Found Family (FF) = Collects friends and allies like it's the easiest job in the world (BONUS [FF+]: if said friends/allies care about MC so much that they are MC's family truly)

2. Self-Sacrificial (SS) = coughing up blood/dying/getting hurt gang (BONUS [SS+]: if friends/allies heavily disapprove of MC's self-sacrificing habits)

3. Self-Deception (SD) = the Cognitive Dissonance that makes us stan cale (BONUS [SD+]: if MC is an unreliable narrator/undermines themself)

cale: I'm so selfish...i just wanna be lazy and slack off. 

cale: *saves the world*

cale: hold on....where did my slacker life go?! 

4. Slightly Tsundere, but mostly Calm (TC) = in other words, that Warm Heart

5. Strategic Type (ST) = plans out things to better their situation

6. Crazy Bastard (CB) = would do things (BONUS PTS [CB+]: if those "things" benefit others) that only someone with almost no self-preservation would do

7. No romance at all (No Rom) = not looking for no one, just friendships, anything is allowed, as long as it is PLATONIC THROUGHOUT the story

BONUS: Comedy (C), GAP MOE (GP) = yes you don't know how much i love this trope so much, System Administrator (SA) is involved <<less

Read these to raise your stress levels. You're welcome.... more>>

Character settings be crazy good that you'll need a time-out to catch your breath. [CATEGORY 1]

Or so frustrating that'll make you choke on air. [CATEGORY 2]

 CN, KR <<less

This list is about the genre I enjoy and can't get enough of; I'm also looking for stories in the same genre, but I don't... more>> like BL, Yuri, or gender benders. <<less

i don't know if it's worth reading only you'll know it's worth your time

This is a minor list, so will not get much updates as another list.... more>>

Not every of them had comedy though <<less

No just ML and FL and antagonists only, who are painfully dependent on each other to build the plot. No BG, no CP, no BL,... more>> no Harem, no Ecci. Captivating plot, idea and interesting, lively characters who want to empathize and whose life you feel. Look at top-list because I don't know how to describe novel properly to interest anyone enough to read what I recommend, but the numbering was meant as it is. Check for genres too please. <<less

Strong calculative Mc & ML.... more>>

Mc X ML with solid chemistry. 

List may contain spoilers~~ <<less

This list includes ... more>>

1- Female MC transmigrate/reincarnate/isekai'd into a BL setting [ BL novel, game, or a world in which the original main male characters or most lads over there are not interested in ladies] and are troubled in search of a straight Male lover.

2- "I thought you were gay troop" Girls who are s**ked into BL novels and think they can have a fake relationship with no problems but the guy turns out bis**ual, pansexual, demisexual, or their sexuality is never really a matter of discussion because they were written to be loved starved, and just going to grab onto the first person who gave them affection. I will admit while I think this situational trope is funny it can feel problematic when you think about it. I know this isn't for everyone and your feelings about that are valid.

**It all started with: She is the female partner of pure love [Quick wear] 她是纯爱文女配[快穿]

Dancing beauty match refuses blackening [Quick wear] 耽美女配拒绝黑化[快穿]

There is no particular order. I only read (and thus include) completed novels. I'm an impatient person and I can't wait for ages to get... more>> a new chapter. <<less

To keep track and reminisce. Putting here only those that left a good taste and lasting impression, except the ones not read yet(its so I can read em later). If we have the same taste, please reco me some (≧▽≦). Hard to find good chinese novels, but when you do its quite addicting to read. I'm a sucker for respectful, polite, and elegant mc's who are misunderstood to be amazingly good or amazingly evil or just pure op.( I do mass cleansing from time to time, cause some are not as good as i thought)... more>>

These are random but usually have emotionally and mentally strong mc's. It's also arranged randomly(rank doesn't matter).

Random:#Op mc#Strong mc mentally&emotionally#Transmigration#Sickly mc#Funny misunderstandings#I dunna like scenes#No dumb romance, just smart and simple ones#Wholesome#Fun fun fun <<less

Completely translated. Yay.

BL in this genre that I have rated 4 or 5 out of 5. Really memorable plots, great characters and books I'd read again or compare against. ... more>>
