Sometimes reading imperial can satisfy my soul^⁠_⁠^

So, if you came here without seeing them first, Go See that 1st!}Here I'll try to add all the novels that I liked the most and were beautiful which couldn't fit on the previous lists. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include Korean, Chinese, Japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o   <<less

The year is almost ending and we are now on our 5th part of the not-so-popular novels recommendation list. I'd say, every novels that i've... more>> touched figuratively speaking doesn't matter if its good or bad, complete or incomplete,  translated or not i will still put it in here. You find your own ways on how to find and read it. Plus we each have our own different opinions and perspective in things so my thoughts on the stories are just there to maybe guide you a little bit or something in terms of my own personal view? I dunno, you have your own taste so do I...anyways, as per usual, gonna add some novels from time to time, follow and be updated and check-out my other works or lists on my profile. Thanks. <<less

Known BE removed. I tried to put the most recent completed first. But it isn't in any particular order, for the ones at the end. Just the order I found it. <<less

I’m all for the romance or unique plots. I can’t stand dumb and flat characters.... more>>

a million/5 don’t even read the description, just dive in!

5/5 not unique but characters/plot well written with 0 to minor flaws 

4/5 either characters occasionally acting too s*upid, too slow pace or plot has holes that aren’t consistent, but readable if you’re bored  <<less

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by best/enjoyed the most to least. The ranking within the same number of stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too different to compare with each other haha. All in one spot. The bottom of the list that are my lower rated and unranked/dropped novels, I have moved to  a new list "All Novels I've Read Sorted By Rating (3 Stars & Below + Dropped)" due to a list only having a max of 100. The... more>> other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank. The reason I want to put my rating and reviews straight in the list is because you can't search for a specific user's review in the novel page if there are too many reviews. You will have to search one by one. Its easier to straight up  see why I put the novel in a particular list plus my review in the list itself. Sigh, novelupdates is really not user friendly.

PS: I've made another list to put all the novels I've read rated 3 Stars and below and all the dropped novels because this list is getting long. In the future, this will be basically my Top 100 list. The others will be from ranked 101 onwards. <<less

Any recommendations are very welcome! All the family/village/kingdom building poor to rich, wealth making business type of stories I've read because this is one of... more>> my favourite tropes of all time! Including any business management! (Just discovered there is a tag for it haha) Its just that usually its not done very well or only the kingdom building is good and the characters and scaling is so bad its not enjoyable to read anymore. The stories included will have things like improving the quality of life of the village/kingdom, introducing modern advancements into an ancient/medieval culture type of place. And with likeable characters to keep you going. I'll only include the novels where I read 100% of it or most of it. Probably won't include any dropped novels. <<less

Any recommendations are very welcome! Stories where nothing really bad happens or if they do, there are really wonderful feel good scenes throughout most of the story. Something warm and sweet to read when stressed to make you smile, laugh or just feel happy. It's ranked according to rating which is basically how much I enjoyed the story. It's not ranked on how heartwarming the story is.... more>>

I wish I can put my own tags but I can't so I'll add some here haha:

Family is Important, Feel Good, Family Love, Warmth, Sweetness, Friends that feel like real friends <<less

❤❤❤❤❤ Listed both BG and BL❤❤❤❤❤
