For recommending female protagonists that don't immediately lower their IQ and EQ when a (ML) man enters the picture. Strong is also used somewhat lightly. This recommendation list will be more geared towards female leads who's actions/words are pivotal in the story. Due to the landscape of light novels with female protagonists, this list will not be completely romance free, but stories recommended will either be slow romance or the story itself will not pivot around the male lead's actions/story.... more>>

Order added as I recall them. Some I haven't read in a while so my thoughts aren't necessarily accurate. If you have a recommendation, please leave a comment of what I should try out! <<less

Just a list consisting of characters who apply to at least one of the following tags as stated in list. Some characters will have all 5 of the applied tags, others only would have 1 tag at most. Some might only be ‘slightly’ cold or calm but still will be on this list, alas falling under the category. 

The story will consist of all types of novels like the typical Korean transmigration stories to the angsty danmei. All types, infinite flow, a deep slice of life I keep my word…
Currently updating so more stories will come on here, will try to find some hidden gems, I have been on this site for a while and have only just made an account so you will have to bare with me, as I try to find those stories I have read a long time back

Also would be very nice if anybody reading this recommended anymore stories to add onto this list as I have been desperately searching for actual decent stories with this tag. Surprisingly not many stories actually fulfil this tag successfully and I rather not add some derelict dull 2000+ novel with op mc, rather stories that will captivate your interest <<less

Novels that I'm waiting to have more released chapters or novels that I'll read for later

I’m just a reader who just enjoys family bond, friendship, and some action/adventure and comedy/tragedy.... more>>

So enjoying romance novels is very rare of me and I’m glad to find these amazing gems if I hadn’t decided to go check them out!

Most of the bottom ones have adaptations which is a surprise and I’m satisfying myself by reading them.

If anyone has any recommendations, please comment below! And if possible similar to the ones listed in this list!

Collection of well-written works which aren't generically written garbage that completely falls apart after the beginning. Too many novels on this site are simply clickbait with an interesting hook but shortly devolve into a mess of poorly developed ideas with badly planned pacing. Here is a list of works that I found to be uniquely interesting or a fresh take on parody. I'll try to keep only completed works on this list but will still include a few ongoing that are highly interesting.... more>>

Will try to sort in descending, but in case I snooze, rating with be attached in the description.   <<less
