✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived  my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.... more>>

Hey there! Are you in for some novels where fate causes mischief in the face of our various MCs?? Well~  you’re in the right place! =^o^ As I, your ‘one of the many readers’ humbly present to you my selection of novels that left the most impression on me regarding the tags 'transmigration', 'reincarnation', 'world hopping', and 'transported to another world' ^w^=

My favourites are at the forefront of the list whilst the ones at the back are up for you readers to determine~

Happy reading! =>o^ / ~ <<less

If you're trying to find novels which will help you to deal with anxiety and pressure, make you deal with your inferiority complex and boost your confidence level, you're at the right place! These novels will make you believe in yourself as our leads are independent and powerful. So, Be CONFIDENT!... more>>

Because the first and 2nd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 3rd list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on the 1st and 2nd list will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing the 1st and 2nd list, Go See that 1st!}

And here I'll try to add all the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful which couldn't fit on the previous lists. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include korean, chinese, japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o  <<less

No description.

This list includes possessive lovers that weren’t able to together with mc at first, including mls/fls that had unrequited love toward the mc, were neglected... more>> by mc, or misunderstood by mc and thought to be scary and dangerous. This list involves partners who aren’t each others firsts. It involves mls or fls with unconditional or hidden love that get their chance eventually, after the mc gains some clarity.  <<less

Instead of OP CEO or arrogant and domineering ML, these precious MLs need coaxing and feel inferior to the MC (or vice versa in some cases). EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE SO PRECIOUS AND DESERVE THE WORLD!! Most of them are insecure and afraid their partner will leave or no longer like them due to their flaws/illness/background/past/etc. There is a lot of pampering, coaxing, understanding, and healing in these beautiful stories. I've tried to put similar setting/vibe stories together so the list is easier to navigate. BG in the first half and BL in the second half :)... more>>

Recently I've seen more recommendation lists on this trope and I'm SOOO HAPPY that these beautiful stories are finally getting some appreciation!! I'll do my best to also find some less popular gems for you all to read >.< Please also comment any stories you would like me to add!

*also, I know I sorta write more for some novels, less for others. It honestly depends on my mood & memory of the novel. So don't feel discouraged about the ones I write less on, they're all well written books :) I also try to only include novels that are 4 stars and above, unless I REALLY think that the story deserves wayyyy more. <<less

smutty novels that are questionable but because you love smut, you read them anyway. 

Here are some completed bl novels with happy endings! I don't like sad endings so here are my recommended novels with "HAPPILY EVER AFTER". Basically, you can find everything except a tragic end.  *.*... more>>

modern day but the mc is still in school or college, female mc and some romance 

I read a lot of historical romance so I'm a bit fussy, well-written leads (who have chemistry) and a decent plot are a must!  Also, cliche tropes are fun once in a while but I prefer things that are a bit more unique.... more>>

This list will include some spicy ones... <<less

In no particular order, BLs that take place in an apocalyptic world/setting. Quick Transmigrations have the apocalypse Arcs indicated and are placed at the end of the list.... more>>

#19+: Quick Transmigrations <<less

There are so many amazing works that feature regressed MCs that are going through a second chance in management, corporate ladders, sports, cooking, etc. Definitely stronger list than the second chance in fantasy. Wanted to make a list that specifically targets this genre.... more>>

First, some of the best that aren't on NU:
1. Trailer tr*sh - wonderful depiction of a second chance high school life with strongly developed characters
2. Metaworld chronicles - only barely qualifies because it's really a fantasy world, but it's an alternate modern day Earth, with great detail and development of cultures and places and set in a modern society, if magic based
3. Let me make you a star - [have not yet read] but has good ratings, comment if you've had a chance to read it!

In addition, there are a number of great drama/TV shows (JP, CN and KR) of second chances that I highly recommend if you like this genre. I've added them in a comment below the list.

If you enjoy second chances, you can also try my other lists on:
- Second chances in fantasy (https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10749/)
- Time loops (includes movies and webnovels not on NU - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/) <<less

stories about females who transmigrate/reincarnate usually into novels or otome games, btw a lot of mc villainesses, I haven’t read all of them but have enjoyed... more>> quite a few, hope you follow this list and find at least one more story to enjoy! ((: <<less

No description.

A lot of these (not all) are PWP (p*rn without plot) and bxg, but they pretty good. Some of them are dark, some of them... more>> involve non-consent, etc. This list provides variety, so before you dive in, always remember to check out the tags just to make sure you ain't reading something you're uncomfortable with.
For the first page, teasers are available. Some words that I consider spoilers would be redacted. The teasers I'd place would be based on the actual translations, I'd note down the translators/sites after I quote the teasers. A description would be used when I deem it necessary. I'm also open to suggestions, so if you have any recommendations, don't forget to comment :D <<less

This is the continuation for the lists of Gems I have read so far, that will shake up your mind and emotions. I hope you... more>> will enjoy it, as well as I did.  Thank you and good luck. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ <<less

Just simple and sweet Cinderella type romances with a lucious, overbearing, handsome etc etc CEO ML. Who dotes on his wife/ gf. Or sometimes not... more>> dote so much due to misunderstandings. Point is, he's a CEO / President / Top of the food chain. And the novel is sweet and simple, not 1000 chapters of ramblings, bizarre events, or misunderstandings. <<less
