Read Lord of the Mysteries and fell absolutely head over heels for it. these are some novels i think have similar elements: lovecraftian/occult horror, steampunk/victorian vibes, themes of humanity fighting against fate, etc.  A mix of read and TBR, as well as BL/GL/gen.... more>>

Recs from outside of Novelupdates:

- Mother of Learning on RoyalRoad, TBR. time loop f*ckery babeyyy. apparently there’s a good magic system and some character development. I’ve heard nothing of good things about this one!

- The Forsaken Sovereign on Webnovel, TBR. LOVECRAFTIAN THEMES AND ELDRITCH GODS I AM SO EXCITED. 

(feel free to forum message me to gush about any of these novels!) <<less

Mushrooms can love you too. No particular order, but I will add notes. I collect strange pairings to cringe my partner and friends telling them... more>> about those. And I actually quite enjoy such novels, because they do break "norms" in my head. Collection of mostly cute stories about non-traditional pairings (expect animals, dragons and other creatures). <<less

**A better name for this list would be Tragic Romance Novels (18+) but I wanted to emphasize on the process of grief I regularly experience while reading this stuff. 

-----------------------------------------------

I'll still be implementing a rating system from **1-5 with 1 being just sad at some parts to 5 being downright horrific**

**In addition, rather than the summaries I put short explanations for the rating. In all honesty, it's better for you to ignore them. Protect your mental well-being from my inane babbling and mild spoilers. <<less

No harem... more>>

- First 18 novels have male protagonists 

Other novel recommendations:

- "starting from fooling the elderly into registering for a cultivation training class" (MC, modern day, introducing cultivation to the world)
- "Immortal's wine store" (Heavenly God MC transmigrates to new world, w system providing missions to brew wine)

 - "watch out! danger ahead" (FMC, horror, survival game to be God, from weak to OP, start was quite interesting)

- "shocking the whole internet! He's not a psychologist at all!" (MC, lifestreams to help change others' fate and cultivate to be immortal)

- "the rich young lady destroyed her dream girl script" (FMC, OP main characters, not your usual dreaming of being in a novel/character w system story -- in fact kinda like downfall)

- "among cultivators, I stand above all" (FMC, aware she'll be killed by novel MC in future, tries to make use of her time to learn as many skills, one of the most hardworking cultivator MC I know)

- "transmigrating as a delicate bundle of luck for a farming family" (FMC, one of the sweetest loving family/friend relationships, with MC being a divine doctor, though ended up going an unexpected plot line, made me tear up many times early in novel, with interesting mix of cultivation/superpowers introduced in later stages, stopped around 800+chapters) <<less

By "good romantic story", at minimum: no bs that isn't justified or explained, or is overly done; romance is not offensive, neither lead being an as*hole to each other; romance that isn't overly dry or has too much drama; leads may be either slightly stereotypes or codependent but at least it's cute and they are not 2d but the sides may be a little; chemistry is good and story plot is mediocre or vice versa... more>>

At best: independent badass leads where the romance is a build up of them doing their own thing and getting to know each other; solid world building; 3d characters all around; fluff that makes you happy and not bored to read; there is actually good plot; there is life beyond romance but the romance makes it nice to read too
