Novels not on NU-

Are you okay with a older girlfriend

I love romance, what I don't love is reading 10+ volumes without progression while the romance tag laugh at me in the series' description, so here are some series where the romance happens within a good amount of time.... more>>

(no harem of course)

if you know any series that fits the description above, it'd be awesome if you'd leave it in the comments <<less

I haven't read Otonari no Tenshi yet but a lot of novels that have a similar start, so I'll just list them up here. 

Eh, just novels i found interesting while browsing translator sites, syosetu, and this sit. Though don't expect any hard action novels in this list but... more>> dso expect some romance. Rather, what novel here doesn't have a little romance...Note: The Order of the novels are not to take account of..Just let me be clear <<less

probably adding only japanese and korean novels... reading list for chinese novels is on my jjwxc account... more>>

prefer clingy/yandere female leads and not a huge fan of harem

one of the best romance novels that I have ever read is Imouto Life by Hitoma Iruma which is somehow not on here - too taboo to be translated? edit: longer thoughts on a novel will be posted as a review under the novel itself

update dec 23: been reading a lot of korean mtls, will update with some decent finds <<less

wholesome non harem romcoms with no love triangle for most of them

Non-Harem + Non-Isekai 

Romance/slice of life stories I really enjoyed, and some of these are the best novels I've read. Quite some of these are really sweet (at least I think so), so prepare yourselves.... more>>

Note: NU doesn't classify some of these as slice of life but I would. Also some harem so if you don't like it you can skip over those. Mostly JP. No R18. No shoujo/josei either.

If you have anything you'd like to recommend to me, please do, I'd appreciate it. <<less

mostly good fluffy, straight romance. the genre ranges from action, adventure, comedy etc., I hate harem and Love triangles.... more>>

I will add on novels when I come across some.

please note that this is mainly focused on romance and without love triangles, love rivals. There are plenty of good novels without romance tropes. They are not included here.

P.S.... Do comment if you have any similar novels to share.

These are the novels I have personally read. I can assure you that the completed one didn't have those tropes I hate. Now, for the incomplete ones they are highly unlikely to have those tropes. <<less

Just read it don’t hesitate( actually hesitate on some of them.)
Also, not in any particular order and take these with a grain of salt cuz it’s made by a 15 year old.... more>>

FYI some might not be fully focused on romance, but I still add it because if you're like me, even if its plot is like the plot return of mount hua sect, if it has even a tiny hint of romance in the first 50 or so chaps, I'll dig that sh*t out.

For all the short stories or oneshots just read, they’re short anyway, or read some review on it first.

These novels aren’t on NU, but they are still good 

Author’s POV (still good but got a bit wack at some parts, but it’s 800 chaps so that’s normal.)

Shadow s*ave (got kind of boring after first arc for me.)
I started to gain sentience in an eroge (it’s quite good and it’s a “bit” crazy, just a bit)

FYI my review’s ratings for NU are always low standards, so if I gave it like a 4, it’ll probably mean that it’s cliche but pretty enjoyable. And a 3 is like, it’s aight but I didn’t enjoy it that much and got bored easily at some parts. And 2 is don’t even, also I change my ratings and opinions quite often once I look back on it because when I am reading it I read for pure enjoyment and not with a critical view. Like if there’s a plot hole, I just skimp over it, it’s only when I look back on it then I see the flaws. <<less
