Secret love. For some people, it is war and chaos; for others, it is a warm spring with flowers blooming.... more>>

list of novels with either MLs/FLs having a onesided love who were given a second chance by meeting again after a few years or through rebirth.

MLs with unrequited love is what I preferred. Esp when they do have cold and indifferent demeanor yet they become patient and considerate with anything that has to do with her.
 

If it's meant to be, then its meant to be. Afterall, none can steal the love one is born to find.

please do tell if you have recommendation.

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem. 

Recommended novels not linked to NU. Most are less than 100 chapters including extras.. (titles and synopsis in the comment section, mtl'ed but decipherable) <<less

I absolutely love reading shitty egoist MLs suffer when the FL moves on from loving them, apologising and regretting.... more>>

This is not an exhaustive list, only ones I've read. Ratings /10

Comment if you have any recommendations to go in this list

Spoilers will be included in some descriptions (bc some stories needs explanation on why they turn angsty) but they will be in caps to warn you ahead. <<less

I find television to be very educational. Every time someone turns it on, I go into the other room and read a book.

This list consists of a whole lot of amazing romance novels. There will be many genres and also have historical and modern stories mixed in here.  Descriptions will be added to novels when I have time ... more>>

It will organized with completed novels first then updating ones. For both categories it will always be HIGHEST to lowest RATING.

Any novels that are still updating will have a completed MTL version cited. 

***This list will be updating frequently***

Thankyou for stopping by! I hope this saves some stress in finding a good novel! :D

Not a Ranking List. ... more>>

Just novels that I found interesting.

Mostly tragedy, but not limited to that. I like a tragedy for a good cry, not for a distressed cry. So mostly these novels aren't full of abuse just to make you cry. You will cry because you feel for the characters. 

There are fluffs and diabetes here, but like I said, mostly tragedy. 

Please read the Genre and Tags of the novel before plunging yourself into this hellhole. 

My tendencies are to seek novels in which: the CP Happy Ending is when they are together <in death>, the CP Happy Ending is when they are together <in life>, the CP is supportive of each other, or the CP building is interesting.

Have a good cry reading these novels! <<less

Most of these will be villainess/reincarnated stories, but I'm trying to incorporate different stories into this list. I enjoy all genres, if you have a story you'd like to recommend please tell me!

As I go along I put my (mostly) unfiltered thoughts on the novel, so hopefully you can easily find some stories you'd like to read based on my review. 

note: the reviews are based on the number of chapters I have read so far~ 

i am warning you this is literally my guilty pleasure list lmao  <<less
