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>>

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

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

My favorite transmigration novel with strong, clever and calm female mc who transmigration into Ancient Times. All novel are recommended in here. This is for... more>> readers who like transmigration or historical novel only. <<less

No description.

My favourite LN with badass female protagonists. The first 20 are in order, the rest, I was too lazy. ... more>>

virtually no ML rapists/abusers... if there are, I've written it in the description <<less

No description.

Novels with female leads who transmigrated or reincarnated. The female leads are rational, not to OP, not too revengeful but still get the justice they... more>> deserved. They are also business minded. They do not try to change the world (inventing too many stuff) but at least change their fate. Villains are not intentionally made s*upid to make the FL look smart. <<less

This list is to keep track of novels I am considering to MTL or read

Historical/xianxia/transmig that I actually liked... more>>

Stuff I haven't dropped yet or have read to completion or at least plan to finish reading. The good stuff. Mostly down to earth female protagonists (or love interests) you won't feel the need to strangle. Too much. 

Lots of strong women here, whether mentally or physically or... eventually haha. Some fluff, some serious, many both.

Mostly female MC, but might add some male MC stuff if it feels like it fits the theme of the list. 

No particular order.

Recs welcome: leave comment :) Or just to agree or disagree about my views on the novels. Discussion welcome :)  <<less

Decent novels that are a bit realistic. They seem more down to earth and portray what it was like in ancient times. A nice writing style makes all the difference.... more>>

This is in no particular order. <<less

Some are completed and some are not but definitely worth it to read. My list shows that im getting addicted to readin CN novels!!!!

To read or not to read; that is the question. The continuation . . .

My reading list and rereading list for historical novel. Historical as in nobles, monarchs, and/or chinese dinasties. Majorities are reincarnation and transmigration. Not all of them regarding revenge.... more>>

If you have recommendation, please leave it in comment. I would be happy to read your recommendation.

I have part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/6824/ <<less

novels that are not complete (by translator or author) 

RE-birth,life,born,incarnate, even transmigration. It's the 2nd life of host. My transmigrated/rebirthed MC will be the independent woman/man with free spirit, & tough attitude to live her/his 'new life' better than the previous one. Slow romance.  Almost all will have a more/less 100-200 chapters, no more than 300. For simple story like this, short ones is sufficient. ... more>>

1. MC already marries to ML&already gives birth to a child(s) that she neglects. The marriage is usually a 'plastic' one, with the ML only cares for the child & let MC alone.  The child will be a cute one, smart and very very 'involve' with the story. The 'new' MC/host will take the challenge of repairing the broken relationship with the husband & the child, but the romance is slow (I prefer that). 

2. Most of the novel MC is already married,has child(ren), but I might put few with the same theme but without child, so for the one without child(ren) the struggle & the main theme will resolve on MC and ML only. Sometimes, ML isnt the husband.

In all novels, MC will deal with the family/friends/ex-lovers that take advantage of MC(ML) money.  It is as per usual, the face slapping is there but not prominent. It's more interesting than the romance. I like to read abt wolf in sheep skin getting skinned alive and grilled XD <<less

I do not understand why some of them are not ranked higher/ ... more>>

Most are unfinished so I may change my mind by the end lol <<less

Novels which have been deemed to be excellent in some regard, irrespective of genres and themes. While not exhaustive in any way, this list will be periodically updated as I read more. Note that erot*c content might also be included. To better understand why I chose certain series, check out my reviews!... more>>

Note: I am biased towards reading more CN, and I have stopped reading any novel related to QI since the controversy with WW. Thus, you might find this list to be particularly biased, so take it with a pinch of salt. The order/numbering is not indicative of anything. <<less
