PS: Mount Tai

if you guys have anything to say, feel free to say it in the comments. This list is more inclined toward romance but it does have some books that are Action only or MC only and have no romance.

There is no order, almost all if not all books are pretty good to most people

this list does include BL but it's only like once or twice! <<less

the title. It's literally all romance because I can't stomach reading anything else. There are various kinds of romance here, so if you're just looking for fluff/sugar go look at my other list. This is just what I enjoy the most. (todo im updating other list rn). ... more>>

edit: in hindsight there may be a few things that aren't romance but it's pretty much all romance don't worry about it <<less

This is the continuation of "STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS I"... more>>

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. 

The novels you're gonna be seeing here is still the same, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

everything here's finished; basically my planning to read list

Ayo lez go baby

Started reading novels since 2016 and this list reflects all things I've read.

Just a list of novels with a strong romantic element from the perspective of a male. I find it hard to search for these explicitly since most novels categorized under the romance genre tend to be with female leads, and I personally have a hard time relating to their perspective. ... more>>

Some of the novels that are actually tagged with Male Protagonist and Romance are absolutely abysmal and should really not have the latter tag for a slew of reasons (e.g. Library of Heaven's Path). Typical cases I've seen are where characters might strongly pursue each other initially, but after they "get together" by establishing a relationship, they get too embarrassed to hold hands or have any physical progression (for like hundreds of years in the case of many Chinese cultivation novels). It's such a weird juxtaposition to see because in these fantasy type novels, as you'll see 95% of non-plot related characters around the MC depicted as lecherous, trying to r*pe every woman around them, but the MC himself would be too pure/innocent/dumb to have a single s*xual thought or action towards women he's close with. I would just like to see a normal relationship. These latter types of novels are what I'm trying to filter out of this list.

Note: This only includes the novels (including short stories) that I have read and have really enjoyed the romance aspect of it, even if the other elements are lacking or the book was potentially bad overall. <<less

No description.

Obviously not exhaustive. <<less

This is just my taste so don't judge me

Properly written novels of good quality (IMO), no harems/mary sues/wish-fulfillment stories/etc. Some of them I liked more, some less, but they were all worth reading. Completed or... more>> cancelled novels, for the most part. <<less

I hate the general feel of light novels where the MCs are dicks and treat the Love Interest (or other characters) in a horrible manner (being narcissistic, rude, condescending, pathetic misunderstandings that can be resolved by 5 seconds of talking).... more>>

I know that I can't force a hard left wing viewpoint and liberal communist pro-russian agendas (/s) but it feels better to read novels where everyone is coherent, makes sane decisions and behaves consistently (even if the consistence is for a character to be kind of dull/dumb/cruel/naive, if the character is consistently dull/etc it feels more authentic).

The novels in this list are all completed novels which are a big pleasure to read. I can't say that all novels here are going to be your cup of tea but at least you are not going to feel cheated after investing some time in reading these.

(I am open to other suggestions so you can send me a pm if you want to add things here) <<less
