List of good cn novel 

This list is a compilation of webnovels where the FL and ML are technically family members, but are not biologically related. I want to make this a comprehensive list of fake in*est webnovels, so I will be ignoring the rating and just including a basic summary of what kind of "fake in*est" the plot falls under.... more>>

The summary under each entry is in the following format:

▶ Category - Explanation of category

▶ More details on the relationship (so people know what they're getting into).

Webnovels in this list will fall into one of the following categories:

▶ Switched at Birth (FL or ML was switched with another character at birth)

▶ Pretender (FL or ML is pretending to be a family member)

▶ Adopted (FL or ML was adopted into the family and is not blood related)

▶ Transmigrated (sub-category; FL or ML is a transmigrator/had their soul switched/etc)

▶ Misunderstood (FL and ML are not related, but for some reason outsiders believe they're related)

Webnovels will not be included if: 1. it contains actual blood-related in*est; 2. the webnovel is obviously meant to be in*est and the lack of blood-relation was only added to avoid the censors.

(note: This list is catered to women/shoujo and josei readers, so it will not contain seinen or shounen.

note2: I'm just one person, so I probably won't be able to find all the webnovels that can go under this list. If you have a webnovel you want to suggest, please comment or PM me.) <<less

Read Lord of the Mysteries and fell absolutely head over heels for it. these are some novels i think have similar elements: lovecraftian/occult horror, steampunk/victorian vibes, themes of humanity fighting against fate, etc.  A mix of read and TBR, as well as BL/GL/gen.... more>>

Recs from outside of Novelupdates:

I tend to avoid traditional QT, infinite flow, and to a lesser extent, transmigration, novels because I prefer stories that explore a world and its characters more deeply.

Should have a fresh premise that can hook in even the veteran danmei readers who've already seen it all. <<less

My personal recs based on what I've read so far. This list only includes novels that I have completely finished reading. These are all novels I would read again. I may make another list of ones that I enjoyed but felt a little disappointed by that I am less likely to recommend / re-read.... more>>

A little about my own personal tastes: I like happy endings, some angst, mysteries, horror and or supernatural elements, comedy, and some fluff. So all the ones on this list should fall into those categories somewhere. <<less
