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

These are all the Romances that come highly recommended and have been on my radar. Ended up being quite an eclectic mix though. Enjoy!... more>>

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

      - Novels Put on ice:  <<less

Most of them are transmigration/ second chance story! Bah!

My Favorite Chinese Historical  Novels >.< This list consists of both BL and Straight novels with a rating above 4.0~... more>>

Note: Recently, some of the translation teams have taken their works down (dead links on the content section)  from NU (because NU has grown a lot) however most of them if not all have their own sites and the novels are still available there! So if you search the novels online you can still find them! ;)

P.S. There is also a part 2 with more novels and hidden gems for everyone to read! If interested the second list can be found on my account :)  <<less

Good day ladies and gents, these are CN historical novels that I never regret reading in no particular order.

Notes:

> 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!

Just to keep track of what I’ve already read

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

Arranged from highest-lowest ratings.

It starts when they are young

Generally mc is the light and ml is the one chasing it.

Then they grow up.

Why do the mls turn out yandere kinda hoho

about half Japanese then its split between Chinese and Korean, reincarnation/transmigration tends to have them going back in time/starting young <<less

No description.

No description.

This list has books that I have finished reading and books that I'm planning to read.... more>>

These are just my opinion. <<less

Most unforgettable romantic stories either its writing style, characters, plots, twists, or the ending itself, in any order and any genre

As long as it's good stuff, i'll add it here. There are many genres and if there isn't one full translated then it's ok to... more>> MTL it. <<less

Historical, wuxia, xianxia, xuanhuan, palace intrigue, orcs, etc... more>>

P. S. Not in order <<less

Third list of novels I have read. Most of these are Chinese novels. I think all of them are translated even if it doesn't say... more>> so. There are all types of genres so I recommend reading the tags in case it's not your cup of tea :)  <<less

Novels that I've enjoyed. Some are fluffy, some are angsty, and some are just plain weird. I do apologize.   Oh, by the way, the novels are not in a specified category (eg. World Hopping, Transmigration, Reincarnation, and etc.) Not in order, Will update when needed.... more>>

Hope you like them. <<less

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 ⚠️ ⚠️⚠️ : 

SPOILER ALERT
My novels reviews might contain spoilers <<less
