This recommendation list will be a list of novels based off my opinion on how much I enioy them, my preferences being particularly obvious within my list.... more>>

(For example, most novels I post will be above 4 stars or have romance elements and I usually avoid harem as well)

Many of these are gems, and if you came looking for something new to read I hope you find something.

1-30 will be romance (mostly rom-com) focused
Past 30 will be novels of all genres that I enjoy.

Honorable Mentions: The Author's POV, Mother of Learning, The Perfect Run, Supremacy Games, Paranoid Mage (Might be a book now), Sylver Seeker, Never Die Twice, Vainqueur the Dragon, Beware of the Chicken, Rock falls, everyone dies.

- Many of these are located on Royal Road. <<less

Stuff I really liked, and would support. Depending on that month's budget.... more>>

Not in any particular order. All Japanese, because I haven't yet looked into Chinese or Korean stuff. One foreign culture at a time.  Many genres, ranging from profound to banal, from cute and fluffy to full-on chuuni.

List created in May 2024, probably won't bother to remove titles if and when they're licensed. Also, not comprehensive or definitive. <<less

Novels i read, primarily with romance or at least a romantic subplot, all of them with full complete translations 

A romance novel enthusiast here.... more>>

The novels are in the order of when i read them so you might find better novels in the latter part of this list as well as early parts.

Novels not on NU-

LN/WN that I enjoyed reading.

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

Yes, "no drama" is in quotes because some of these have the drama tag but upon reading them, I don't think they're really as dramatic... more>> as other works which have the same tag. 
"Completely translated arcs" means that the series could be still on-going but you can finish reading it up to the end of an arc, so you can avoid getting blue-balled. (If you still continue reading, then that's on you!) <<less

What I mean with "completed"... more>>

>It doesn't need to be completed (in writing) nor does it need to be completely translated. It should just have a translation status at the end of an arc, so it'll be easier to pause reading without feeling blue-balled.

What I mean with "early romance."

>On one hand, there is a tag on novelupdates, on the other hand, it just means that the MC or FMC confesses at the start or in the middle of the story such that there is a good portion of them going out. I really don't want to read a fluffy romance where readers are forced to continue because they wonder when the confession happens. <<less

Novels to read

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

No particular criteria except it has to be fluffy and sweet. Nothing will be excluded(ex: might have dense protags, harems, etc.) as long as it... more>> is sweet enough. That being said, if said bad elements(previous but also including things like low TL quality, rigid dialogue, etc.) detract too much to the point where it makes the story not feel fluffy/sweet enough then it won't be on this list. Exception to this rule is isekai cuz f*ck isekai. Anyways, prepare to die to sugar overdose. <<less

Prepare for some insulins and sweetness. I listed the novels which is very sweet to me.

 Be basked in the world of your delusions! Japanese romantic comedy novels to read that will never happen to you in real life...... more>>

If for some reason you did experience it in real life then, dang you're amazing! You must be blessed ( must have been troublesome)

And for those who didn't...seek comfort by reading these novels where your dreams takes on a whole different level! May you be blessed as soon as possible...jk!
