✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived  my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.... more>>

PS: The others novels I liked, but not enough to be featured here, are in my yearly "New Favorite Historical Romances" lists. <<less

This list contains love that transcends two lifetimes through characters that travel through time and space to be with their loved one.... more>>

- involving lovers that get another chance, this list includes characters (eg. ml or children) that go back in time to meet and save their beloved (eg. fl or parents) from unfortunate situations. 

 -includes Non-strangers that transmigrate together and continue to associate with each other to eventually fall in love; characters from different time periods that fall in love; lovers that continue to love and find their happy ending after rebirth; multiple transmigrations; and lovers that eventually travel to the mc’s original world to stay together 

- includes lovers separated by time and dimensions 

- won’t include world hopping, quick transmigration novels with a system administrator unless both mc and ml have systems that relay tasks related to each other falling in love  <<less

List of novels in my To Read list for my favourite trope, rags to riches! To my best guess anyway since I haven't read them XD. Also usually slice of life. I also put in some untranslated novels from some favourite poor to rich authors from the jjwxc website that I desperately hope someone would translate in the comments T.T... more>>

I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. And the incompleted ones at the back.  Recommendations are very welcome! <<less

These are my favorite novels with transmigration, reincarnation and second chances as main themes*. I like slice of life, slow romance stories with good world-building... more>> and MCs who are calm, intelligent, not cruel and not too OP (if at all).  
I enjoyed reading the novels in this list but they may not be what I would typically like as mentioned above. Suggestions welcome. <<less

Romance that gratify my soul. They are super sweet novels that give me a dopamine rush. Novels that make you crave for that kind of love. In addition to underrated gems, I have tried to include various fluffy, BG novels of different genres. Enjoy!! :)... more>>

-Not ranked in order; highly rated novels; BG; 1v1 (no harem), HE, lots of fluff <<less

This is a list of all the novels that I have read with a female protagonist. Most of them have romance. Everything on this list has a happy ending of course. Some are more slice of life and some are very dramatic, but in the end these novels all left a good impression on me.... more>>

Not all the novels on this list are equally good. Some are okay, some are good, some are loved a lot. Nevertheless, I managed to complete them, so that means they're all readable.

For novels that are my absolute favourites which are those that I will reread many times, I will mark them with a "Best-Loved" award.

Some may get a "Honorable Mention" if they don't quite make it to Best-Loved, but they do stand out from the rest.

I will try my best to leave my impression of the novel in the comments. For some novels I will only say it's an enjoyable read which means for some reason or another they don't make the Best-Loved or Honorable Mentions list.

Acronyms I use often include FL aka female lead (also MC aka main character) and ML aka male lead. <<less

Mixed bag. Basically transmigration and rebirth novels who have a better life (somewhat) for the second time, whether through revenge or just living a peaceful life while falling in love. ... more>>

Not only “Transmigrated into novels” type of story , but also stories who in their past life seems like they were a villain or cannon fodder who died unjustly. <<less

I am always  looking for MC's who seem who I can relate with or find endearing. So this is the list of my favorite MC's.... more>>

MLs who were given 2nd chance with their FLs through regressed/ rebirth/ transmigration/r eincarnation. Some contained spoilers.

Favorite romances that take place in ancient China, but not in the Emperor’s palace

I read a lot of historical romance so I'm a bit fussy, well-written leads (who have chemistry) and a decent plot are a must!  Also, cliche tropes are fun once in a while but I prefer things that are a bit more unique.... more>>

This list will include some spicy ones... <<less

All the reads I enjoyed. (Only the novels I enjoyed reading are included)... more>>

Still incomplete list cos I forgot the title of some of the stuff I read. This is the result so far after going through memory lane of all the novels I read, filtering the terrible ones.

Mostly BG

And worry-not, characters are actually pretty decent with a great or at least acceptable setting and plot. <<less

No description.

This list resumes the chinese novels I have liked so far. Many may not be here for two reasons: a. I haven't read it; b. I really haven't liked it. ... more>>

Be aware, if the novel isn't tr*sh, it takes a lot for me not to like a Chinese Historical Novel. Btw, you might find one or two unusual participants in this list but it is probably because I have enjoyed the novels or many elements in it.

I accept recommendations, so please leave some comments!! I will keep updating every week! <<less
