Sharing the cultivation/wuxia/xianxia/fantasy romances I think are worth recommending 

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

Enjoyment level 100/10. Everything I’ve read and liked. From a picky reader’s perspective.

Favorite authors: You Qian, Jiu Liu Fei Xiang, Qian Shan Cha Ke, Yue Xia Die Ying

Sequence is CN- JP- KR- Fluffy- (Comedy)- Exceptions- To-reads. Not ranked by number. 
My descriptions varies greatly from a gist, polished review, impressions, or explains key points.        ... more>>

[Flexible Preferences] 
A. Protags are somehow mostly male but I read both!- interesting, has compelling qualities, flawed with development
B. Entertaining, Distinct, & Creative
C. Steady premise, no TERRIBLE plot hole 
D. Romance: good execution, pacing, build-up, & evokes emotion; no bullsh!t drama & brain-dead denseness
E. Vital, relevant, fleshed-out characters
F. Comedic & Fun
G. Danger, Wars, Battles, Strategy, Tactics, Trials, Fights, Thriller, Suspense
H. Lore, Culture, Kingdom, Worldbuilding 
I. Political Intrigue, Schemes, Mind Games, Manipulation, Mystery
J.  Pure tragedies rarely - it hurts!
K. No BL/GL(yet?)
L. Can be R-18 
M. Polygamous-like IF great story | even if you're averse consider my recs. ;)

[Criteria]
1. These are (mostly) 4/5 stars in story, translation and enjoyment according to my flawed evaluation that is mainly 3/10 objective, 7/10 subjective.
2. I have perused the novels or adaptation before sharing my thoughts.
3. Writing must be consistent, coherent and engaging and the ending must at least not be sh!t. Clichés to a point are fine however it needs to be purposeful & executed well. 
4. I will keep adding books that are promising, satisfying, translated.  <<less

I just really don't know into what other list's these could be categorized. So I decided that putting them all together would be the right... more>> move. <<less

For all you guys and gals who also love this setting for romances. ... more>>

Are the plots repetitive and the amount  of cliche tropes shooting through the roof? Yes. But we all know that already don't we :) So let us just embrace our cringe and diiiiiiiiive in!  <<less

These are romance-focus novels that I have read from years ago. It may take some time for me to recall most of them, and I'd... more>> have to find their corresponding English names too.  <<less

Novels that I'm currently reading/waiting for updates/finding the energy to continue reading.

at least 4.4 during time of my collation

Keeping track of what I liked/read. Only some I would re-read though 

Basically a list of romance novels that i would read and will read. 

These novels stand out from the usual copy paste novels on this site. I refer to them as somewhat because they are at least more creative and original than other novels with similar plots.... more>>

Criteria

- original-ish

- promotes healthy relationship (not the usual submissive MC and dominant/emotionally stunted ML, or anything that promotes an unhealthy relationship dynamic)

- good story telling

- no entertainment. IDGAF what the comments on the internet thinks <<less

Needs a revamp! I have some titles to add/delete >-<... more>>

(This might be getting a tad bit ridiculous. If you want to skip isekai/reincarnation, you should just skip the titles that has ‘villain/villainess/villainous’. I found more interesting stories than I expected. @@)

Or nvm.

Sturgeon's law: 99% of everything is terrible.... more>>

I know many people say that there are no good novels on this site, and it oftens feels like the top lists are filled with overpowered MC's, undeveloped harems, 2D characters, and lacking plots.

There are some novels that stand out, however, whether that be for their plots, characters, or translations.

This is a list for my personal 1%. It is ranked in order. <<less
