For recommending female protagonists that don't immediately lower their IQ and EQ when a (ML) man enters the picture. Strong is also used somewhat lightly. This recommendation list will be more geared towards female leads who's actions/words are pivotal in the story. Due to the landscape of light novels with female protagonists, this list will not be completely romance free, but stories recommended will either be slow romance or the story itself will not pivot around the male lead's actions/story.... more>>

Order added as I recall them. Some I haven't read in a while so my thoughts aren't necessarily accurate. If you have a recommendation, please leave a comment of what I should try out! <<less

The list contains the best novels that I read in terms of pleasure, not quality. The novels may be okay, but I prefer them... more>>

After the first place, the order is considered random

I will start documenting my observations about it. They may not be accurate due to the long time that has passed since I read novels years ago. Nevertheless, they serve as a summary of my experience with them. I might attempt to organize them from best to least preferred as well.

Those are all the novels I can remember I read, this list is solely for archiving purposes so that I can look back on books I read or dropped or am planning to read so that I can remember them and re-read them if I suddenly want to.... more>>

In there are lots of different things, you got generic isekais I first read when I was just starting out with novels, then villainess/otome game novels since I started liking the concept, and since I love female protags. You have oneshots and lots of yuris and some genderbending stories in there since I'm also into that.

What you won't find in here is any BL/yaoi stories, anything with a harem (except for some since I started with isekais), nor tragedy or hard psychological things, I hate those.

Though I got way more than that, since the limit for lists is 100 novels, I'm gonna stop at that

Not privated since I don't see the purpose and maybe you may find a hidden treasure within that list <<less

A story that i enjoy so much 

A list of novels that I would whole heartily recommend anyone read

I’ve read too many novels... more>>

Not sorted yet, currently adding reviews <<less

Stuff i've read ages ago that i want to be able to easly look back on, appreciate and reflect on the passing of the time, whenever i go back here.... more>>

This list is based on my sentimentality, memories of time well-spent, of things close to my heart. Not on the novels' quality (you should still check them all out). I will try to sort them somewhat reasonably, at least.

If you think this list is missing some novels, you should cry about it in your closet. If they aren't here, I haven't read them (or liked them enough). Prolly because they got buried in my 'to read' list. (Yuusha, Aruiwa Bakemono to Yobareta Shoujo; tr*sh of the Count's Family; M E M O R I Z E, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint; Sevens; Monster Paradise; Pivot of the Sky; Release that Witch; Reverend Insanity; The Dark King; etc.)
Don't read anything below 50th place on this list, it's not worth it.

Also, this won't ever be updated, I think. <<less
