Novels I started but can't seem to get into. Probably just not in the right mood to appreciate it because most of them have pretty high rating. And objectively, it also had high quality writing.... more>>

Also has novels I have started but whose TL is still ongoing. Or novels whose raws are still ongoing. <<less

List of novels in my To Read list. I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I... more>> will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. Recommendations are very welcome! <<less

More tags: Boy Love, Straight Love, Slice-of-Life, School Exams, Academic Competition, Possibly Poor-To-Rich... more>>

All the novels I've read that takes place in modern times, usually high school. I find high school romance (if there are any) in cn novels more real and earnest because the characters are usually high school age and more innocent. Most of the stories here would be some form of transmigration or rebirth or second chance where the MC would have some form or fore knowledge or experience as an advantage. And they would work hard to not waste the 2nd chance to work hard and improve their future and/or their lover's future usually by studying to get into the top university of the story. <<less

List is ranked by romance that made me feel it the most to least! Here are stories where the romance was portrayed is such a way that I was very invested and can really feel the love the two characters feel for each other. Usually in web novels, I just go with the flow for the romance. Half the reason why is because if the ML really love someone will the ML disregard their lover's opinions during sex? And keep doing it until the lover is "sick/injured/sore/tired/need to lie in bed" the next day? The other half is just that the romance isn't written in any way to convince me lol. But these in this... more>> list definitely made me fans of their love! There may be some of that s*x until sore trope but if the romance still convinced me of their feelings, I'll still include it!

Honourary mentions:

- I’ll Have My Seatmate Beat You

It was a little too short to really feel the  feels. But the developmwnt of the romance was very good and when they did show their love, the MC was super straightforward and eager! A refreshing turn. The ML too made me feel for him. It was just a little too short and the MC made me feel like he should be taken care off a bit too much. He's alrd younger than his yearmates lol.  <<less

This contains the bottom of the main list, All Novels I've Read Sorted By Rating! It was reaching the max limit so I've moved the stories rated 3 Stars and below and all the dropped novels here.... more>>

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by best/enjoyed the most to least. The ranking within the same number of stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too different to compare with each other haha. Also, I didn't bother to ranked the dropped stories because I don't want to waste brainpower on that. So if I didn't give a rating, I won't sort it.

The other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank. The reason I want to put my rating and reviews straight in the list is because you can't search for a specific user's review in the novel page if there are too many reviews. You will have to search one by one. Its easier to straight up  see why I put the novel in a particular list plus my review in the list itself. Sigh, novelupdates is really not user friendly. <<less

List of novels in my To Read list for my favourite trope, rags to riches! To my best guess anyway since I haven't read them XD. Also usually slice of life. ... more>>

I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change.

Ongoing translations for stories. Waiting for the translations to be done before I read. I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. A majority of the novels here are poor to rich, business management, hopefully feel good chill type of stories. At least most of the 1 page anyway. I also like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. Also, I love being able to scroll through and seeing immediately which ones have been completed since I last checked the translations. I also include any... more>> translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations.Not in any particular order.

*I didn't realise how long this list got so I have put the Completed to read novels into another list if anyone wants to check it out, To Read Novels That Are Completely Translated <<less

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by best/enjoyed the most to least. The ranking within the same number of stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too different to compare with each other haha. All in one spot. The bottom of the list that are my lower rated and unranked/dropped novels, I have moved to  a new list "All Novels I've Read Sorted By Rating (3 Stars & Below + Dropped)" due to a list only having a max of 100. The... more>> other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank.

PS: I've made another list to put all the novels I've read rated 3 Stars and below and all the dropped novels because this list is getting long. In the future, this will be basically my Top 100 list. The others will be from ranked 101 onwards. <<less

Any recommendations are very welcome! All the family/village/kingdom building poor to rich, wealth making business type of stories I've read because this is one of... more>> my favourite tropes of all time! Including any business management! (Just discovered there is a tag for it haha) Its just that usually its not done very well or only the kingdom building is good and the characters and scaling is so bad its not enjoyable to read anymore. The stories included will have things like improving the quality of life of the village/kingdom, introducing modern advancements into an ancient/medieval culture type of place. And with likeable characters to keep you going. <<less

Any recommendations are very welcome! Stories where nothing really bad happens or if they do, there are really wonderful feel good scenes throughout most of the story. Something warm and sweet to read when stressed to make you smile, laugh or just feel happy. It's ranked according to rating which is basically how much I enjoyed the story. It's not ranked on how heartwarming the story is.... more>>

I wish I can put my own tags but I can't so I'll add some here haha:

Family is Important, Feel Good, Family Love, Warmth, Sweetness, Friends that feel like real friends <<less

Stories I genuinely really reeeeally love. I tried to order them but some of the stories I like for very different reasons so take the... more>> order with a grain of salt!  There are also a lot of stories with my favourite tropes but not as high a quality of writing or TL. It should be able to make me feel a holistic array of human emotions and especially must make me feel that excitement of wanting to know what will happen next! So cannot be a one note pure faceslapping story or just a sweet romance story. However, since there are so few of these, I put stories I enjoyed but isn't quite a favourite too lol Maybe I'll remove the not quite favourites later haha <<less
