Caution: bear the risk of having your taste being too sky-high standard.

While this list doesn't contain all the Gender Bender (Male to Female) novels I have read, these are the ones I liked and highly recommend. These are sorted based on the ones I am currently following and looking forward to reading the most, so the ranks are irrelevant to how good the novels actually are.... more>>

P.S. The quality of the translations does affect the rank slightly. <<less

No BL/GL. No Crossdressing.

Stories in which female protagonists and others are hopefully not one-dimensional i.e. just ruthless, just silly, high-IQ/low-EQ. Side characters (mostly) have lives outside of the protagonist and/or male lead. Villains aren’t downright TSTL. ... more>>

Last three newly added: #9 | Don’t Touch Porcelain, #22 | Unconscious, #14 | I Am Average and Unremarkable

No. 1 - No. 32 | Incomplete Translations

No. 33+ | Complete Translations

Not in any particular order except for whether they’re complete or not. 

A huge thank you to all the translators who translated these gems and gave me the opportunity to enjoy them <<less

As a man, I am not interested in shoujo novels in general... However, there are some that I've dared to try out that I've quite enjoyed. Here's a list!... more>>

Some I've admittedly not yet tried but soon intend to do so since they look like they would appeal, so my confidence level in the appeal is high for the first 15 titles, and... more experimental for the following...

Also, check out:
- The calamity of a reborn witch on RRL, it's a really great novel

I welcome thoughts and comments, particularly on ranking, additions and unsuitable novels for this list. <<less

Yes it's another one of those list of main characters transmigrating to a novel, game, or having a 2nd chance at life.

Novels that: (1) explore values and social constructs, (2) have a character that explores/questions their identity or existence, and/or (3) makes you, the reader, question your own existence.... more>>

Each novel is (roughly) ranked by how much it fits the above description, as well as a bit of a personal preference bias.

For some novels, the "existential" aspect may not be obvious in the beginning, but will make itself clear as the novel progresses.

Most novels listed are completed. <<less

Looking for romance with a nice pace? Check out these couples as they develop their relationship. Some are unique, realistic, or just fluff. 

A list of gender bender stuff that I read. Some stuff here are already famous enough as is, but I still add them here anyway. I also don't read female to male because... I simply don't have the will to. Maybe in the future. If you got a recommendation, put them in the description. I got a lot of backlog to dig through, but there's always spot for gender bender. I will try to rank them from my favorite to my least favorite, but it can be generally divided into story with no consequence (you shouldn't be worried about anyone dying, sacrificed, etc.) and story with consequence (expect grim and lost). The former is ranked... more>> with odd numbers while the latter is ranked with even number. I do it this way because... I don't know, everyone's different preference? I might change it up to again so the better story is at the top and go down to good story. Expect heavy changes to the list in the future.

Also, if you are looking for another gender bender list, try re-library website. It specializes in gender bender, and host both their own gender bender TL and original gender bender stories.

Note: I read many of these a year ago or more, and have forgotten my of its plot. I will publicised it for now because I think the list itself has value, and add my comments as I reread them. <<less

No description.

Either a male or a female, they are both cool. This list contains cool female(?) MC only.

No description.

No description.

i ran out of room in the other list so im sorting them between bl and not bl

From fierce & dominating, to the more subdued but calculating ones. Either way, not a doormat in sight! All genres are included.

Recommendaiton List By MEEEE

This list is mostly for myself to track what I've read. List is in no particular and is added to when I finish reading. If... more>> you use my list and descriptions, please note that I still recommend you read the reviews under the book to decide if you want to read or not, I am not responsible. Warning that this is danmei (tropes are often undiscussed and unlogical), and I do not put trigger warnings although there may be some in the novel, please read at your own discretion. If you have any recommendations you think I'll like based on this list please let me know! <<less
