These are my favorite novels with transmigration, reincarnation and second chances as main themes*. I like slice of life, slow romance stories with good world-building... more>> and MCs who are calm, intelligent, not cruel and not too OP (if at all).  
I enjoyed reading the novels in this list but they may not be what I would typically like as mentioned above. Suggestions welcome. <<less

If you love all those then this list is for you, I’m just too lazy to separate them. I’ll add more when I get through all the ones I’ve read.They are all completed. Some are great, some are okay, some are just not for me. ... more>>

PS: so far I’ll only put what I’ve read and completed. If you have any suggestion, feel free to drop it here!

you know what it is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 

IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THIS READING LIST! C= C= C= C= C=┌(;・ω・)┘... more>>

this list has the novels for those who want:

- romance novels (comedic undertone, light reading, lots and lots of FLUFF) 

- no romance novels (where romance doesn't bu*t into an amazing plot and makes you want to dry heave)

- misunderstanding novels (specifically ones that evoke laughter or amus**ent)

warning: all of these novels have (or will have) my opinion and terrible descriptions !! 

i hope you have fun reading

PS: I'm an avid reader of HR novels but my initial list of favorites was getting too long so I simply divided it in 2. There's one list for the well-known classics & one for the upcoming shakers.  This here is obviously the latter. On that note, happy reading :)

Rating:   ❤️❤️❤️ To-die-for             ❤️❤️ Greatly entertaining                     ❤️ Enjoyable 

For more, my all times "Best historical novels" list is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/19039/ <<less

Try these novels, they're great. 

Stories with a villainess or aristocracy focus. European setting.... more>>

Part 1 has more than 100 chapters or finished

Part 2 has 60-99

Part 3 has 30-59

Part 4 has 11-29

Part 5 has 10 or less chapters <<less

If you're like me who can't resist temptation of good novels in price of killing sleep, then you're in the right place! These novels are the one which I read by killing my sleep. These are source of great imaginations and entertainment as these leads are very independent and strong. So, let's enjoy these together.... more>>

Because the 1st, 2nd & 3rd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 4th list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on those lists will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing them first, 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

Here's a list of novels you might enjoy if you, like me, want to read some good stories that don't force an unnecessary & underdeveloped romance subplot where it isn't needed.... more>>

So these stories will have minimal to no romance, and I despise the harem trope in general. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for good bromance/brotherhood/friendship/found family stories. I also won't add any series to the list that I haven't personally read.

I decided to create this list because I've seen many similar 'no romance' lists on the site from which I've gotten many great recommendations to the point they have now become my go-to sources for new novels.

- - - - - - - - - - -

I'll be trying to organize the list based on how good I personally think the books are, but I'm only really certain about the first 4 being my favorites, the list then gets quite ambiguous, but I personally really like everything on the first page.

In the descriptions, I'll include how many chapters of the series I have read as well as how much romance there has been up until where I've read, as well as additional thoughts/opinions/warnings that I might have about the series.

I'll try to update the list whenever I find another good series to add. If you know of any series you think I'd like based on my list I'm more than open to suggestions! 

UPDATED JAN 1ST: Added 'The Nebula's Civilization' to the list. <<less

CONTAINS SPOILERS! List of arcs and (maybe) summaries of BL QT arcs. Each arc is 1 paragraph/chunk. I'll **try** to make them as short and crispy as possible but I tend to get wordy with some details >w<")7 You can just treat this as an incomplete list of BL QT novels lol ... more>>

If there's any iconic/defining points in the arcs that you think should be mentioned, let me know in the comments/replies!

List will be slowly updated as I read *cough* and reread *cough* quick wear/quick transmigration/world hopping novels. Mostly for personal record because all the QTs have been mixing up real bad in my memory

Pairings are written as MC x ML, no matter if MC is gong or shou. FL = Female Lead of the plot, OP = Original Protagonist of the plot (will be used for male protagonists to avoid confusion between MC and ML) <<less

you'll get QT, World hopping, Transmigration, Rebirth, second-chance, and Fluff!!!- eat em up darlings!

Novels with either plain obsessive love or twisted relationships. Keep in mind that these are all my personal ratings so it may not be the same for you but still, take it as a reference if you're unsure of what to read next. ... more>>

Yandere Levels ; 10 - borderline obsessive w/ actual reasons   ▎8 to 9 - definitely obsessive but not too much  ▎5 to 7 - obsessiveness that came out of no where (aka just bcuz fl's nice to ml etc.)

Plot ; 10 - interesting and unique  ▎8 to 9 - decent / common but tolerable  ▎5 to 7 - plain and usual / not so surprising  <<less

Novels that I've enjoyed. Some are fluffy, some are angsty, and some are just plain weird. I do apologize. The novels are not in a specified category (eg. World Hopping, Transmigration, Reincarnation, and etc.) Not in order, Will update when needed.... more>>

Whether the MC is trying to change his ways or trying to play the part, the role he's been cast as is the villain!
There may be a few relating to this topic but not specifically the Mc being the villain but that's only if the plot particularly stands out. So for the most part its hopefully just going to be mainly a villain mc.... more>>

Ill try my best to label the ones that don't have the MC as a villain

(The number of times I've written "villain" slightly exceeded my expectations, not by a lot, but still, more than I had in mind) <<less
