This list includes the few gems in the heap of ashes and dirt.

This is a list of novels that have mature characters, smooth progression and a solid plot. Little to no fan service. 

No description.

*Note: Some novels on this list will have the MC care about literally one person, if they care about more than one it's not going to be added* <<less

Raise a hand if you recognize: A sweet/wild/sexy/dangerous/smart/lively/pure Chinese girl meets an overbearing boss/actor/CEO/prince/cultivator/general/demon/'god' of any field, and he falls in love with her.

However, the few stories with harem tags listed actually have characters with at least 2D/3D personalities. almost all of these have a rating of 4+ as the quality(rating) is more important than the quantity(popularity). Incomplete stories can be pirated using nyaa.si, vn miedo, ect. <<less
