>  mostly complete stories
> chapters averaging 100+ only, no patience for bingeing 1000+ chapters
> will probably move comment recs into list ones, just, idk if i'll know it got an entry ngl
> contains dropped reads
> ratings mean... some things, but GtRaSML will always be last because of how long the read more is <<less

Female lead and Male lead know each other since they are practically children.  Do comment if you have any suggestion for me!

No description.

These are list of novels I’ve read for the past 3 years of discovering novel updates. These are gems and, and novels I love to read. ... more>>

Some of them are completely translated though the remaining are still under translation you can easily understand the MTLed version. 

The novels listed below are not particularly in order. I’ll add more once I found those novels I forgot to save 2 years ago. 

Hope this list will help you choose great novels to read.

You can also comment your novel suggestions so that others can enjoy it too!  HAPPY READING!! <<less

Created this list to keep track of my favorite completed novels that I've read.  Some of these I like a lot more than others, but I'm too lazy to split them into multiple lists.  If anyone else finds it useful, then that's an added bonus :) - fair warning, a lot of these novels follow similar, if not the same, cliches and tropes, but that's what I like to read. *shrug*... more>>

Also, all have happy endings.  I hate reading a really good novel only to have it ruined with a depressing ending.

Some of these novels are not showing as complete on NU, but are completed elsewhere, so I'm including them.

I'll add notes/comments as I feel like it - some notes are just key points/words to remind me which novel it is.

I'm going to add any other novels I really love, but aren't on NU in the comments for tracking purposes.

BL novels listed separately.

Smut with plot also listed separately now - this is not saying that there is no smut/NSFW in the novels on this list, just moved any novels where smut seemed to be the main focus.

Also moved some to a new list for novels that I did enjoy reading, but probably won't read again (just to keep track of what I've read without adding to this list).  So I guess "favorite" = "worth rereading"

Just started Part 2 of this list - may sort them by genre or something later: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87122/?ft=yes <<less

Note: Obviously this list will frequently change. The novels are later either moved to my "New Favorite Historical Romance of 2022" list or my "Put on ice" list.

Latest moves:

      - New Favorite HR: Who cares?; The Imperial guard’s revenge; Royal Road; Villainess won’t let the main lead break up

No harem.

Basically every popular historical bg novel ever. These are the novels you must have heard of if not read.(And if you've done neither...well you're here now!). BTW its in order of popularity.... more>>

The stars will show how much I enjoyed the book and at the same time I will also be adding any problems/dislikable things that I noticed (Im pretty sure i missed a lot and probably forgot a few by the time i finish making this). After that I'll also be adding the novel sypnosis. If yall see that the novel has clearly many bad points and yet I've given a high rating its because although I notice these problems...I tend to ignore them while reading.
Be warned ⚠️ ⚠️⚠️ :

Hi friends! Here are my must read CN and KN historical time [BxG] romance novels. May or may not have fantasy themes of transmigration, reincarnation, etc. May or may not also include some smut and spice. Please check tags for additional ideas. Enjoy!~... more>>

RATING:

5- stars: Remarkable, memorable, and constant re- reads

4- stars: I really liked; great

3- stars: It was good

2- stars: Meh

1- star: Not worth it/ Completely DNFed. <<less

What is moral?*evil smile*

The novels here are the best of BxG CN that I have read. It has both modern and ancient settings. Don't worry all of them... more>> are Happy Endings . Although most of them are either transmigration or second chance, some of them are not. As for the ones with lower ratings, I believe it is only because of less number of translted chapters, and I would recommend you to give them a try or wait until they have more chapters and read them. <<less

of novels. I hope you guys enjoy these stories!

Completely translated novels set in ancient times or ancient China. All romance novels with different sub-genres. Some are a little vague with the setting, but... more>> they are not completely irrelevant. <<less

Novels that I had read & re-read many times !! 

❌️ Not about Tragedy, Harem, Yaoi, Yuri, BL, GL, Shounen Ai, and Shoujo Ai ❌️ (You've been warned)... more>>

These are books with historical background. Some of it has a touch of future or fantasy, but i categorized them as historical ones, since there were no advanced technology like internet, cars or planes. Instead, there were magics or magical/mythological animals ot things

Some of it I've read for countless times <<less
