Here's a list of books that I have enjoyed on NU across the last 5 or so years.

Who says I'm crying?!?!?! I'm not crying!!!!! My eyes are just sweating!!!!! Huh??? You're saying that I should stop lying cause the snot in my nose says it all??? This is not snot!!!!!! This is also sweat!!!! The weather here is extremely hot my eyes and nose are sweating!!!!!!... more>>

Note: I assure you no matter what genre is in here it will make your eyes and nose sweat so it would be better if you are to put your prejudice aside and check it out first before you decide if it is good or not. And prepare something to wipe your sweat....

Note: You might ask why is there a ton of oneshots here it's because I am doing you a favor cause the longer the series is the longer your eyes and nose will sweat and you might go blind from too much sweating in the eye or lose your ability to breathe  from too much sweat on your nose. <<less

I actually want to make Otome novel list but then I remembered otome novels I had read before are mostly in Wattpad and there's too... more>> many novels in my wattpad lists and im lazy desu (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀) but I swear I'll add more UwU <<less

Say whatever but I don't like Chinese web novels so there's going to be none here. I dislike the tip toeing done by the authors... more>> around the censors  <<less

No description.

A list of novels in a fantasy setting (xianxia, european ambiance, other) where the reviews or synopsis caught my attention. I will read eventually. :)... more>>

If you have suggestions on other novels to put on this list, please drop a comment. <<less

A LOT of people have lists I've used to find books I've enjoyed. This is my return favor; I hope others can use this to find novels they will really enjoy as well! ... more>>

Important notes - List is in reading order. not preference or any ranking system. My reviews are listed here as well just so you can see my thoughts. I tend to rate things more highly if I think the general rating is lower than it should be. I also tend to LOVE well written angsty stories, and character growth is DEFINITELY a plus. Spoilers are NOT HIDDEN because I couldn't figure out how to get them to work right. 

Top stories for sheer freaking emotional impact - 
Breakup Gift ** I Don't Want to be Loved ** Konyaki-haki sarete Me ga Samemashita ** Two or Three Things About Mr. and Mr. ** <<less

This is my newest list in the beginning of October. I want to separate some novels in my simple stories list and put them here.... more>> This list contains the stories involving prince/princess, noble, knight, etc. Why bother separate them? Because my simple love stories list is getting huge and also I want to keep it more organized. So if you love a story with aristocracy vibe, not in modern era, you come to the right place. <<less

These stories are literally the cream of the crops. ... more>>

The butter on my toast.

The gold in the dragons den. <<less

Just stories that caught... more>> my eye. <<less

Novels with non-humans. Will include mostly fluffy novels, mostly HE and some tragedy. In addition to a non-human characters, this includes novels where mc was previously a non-human and then becomes human, characters with shape-shifter ability, or just novels with pets.... more>>

- includes ghosts, spirits, gods, vampires, and werewolves, pillows, and other humanoid/non-human characters, etc. 

-this list will not include any orc/beast tribe harem novels (will only include 1v1); nor does this list include system- human relationships (eg. “don’t pick up boyfriends from tr*sh”) or non-human relationships from thriller, horror novels like “thriller trainee” or “I rely on poverty to sweep through survival games” <<less

Web novels that are completed and I have finished reading. Mostly romance genre but no harems, yaoi, or yuri.

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

I don't read much harem though I will insert some of it in here. I will only add novels that I truly truly like and... more>> the ones that makes me insomniac because I keep thinking about them. You know, novels that always lingers in your head and makes you laugh creepily all by yourself. Please note that this is just a list based on my preferences. And don't evaluate them by their numbers.  <<less

No description.

A list of memorable stories I read on novelupdates that covers mostly survival stories, reincarnation in non-human beings, second chances in other worlds and novels that felt unique in some way.... more>>

More often than not, stories I included had some grim parts to them. Where I find it necessary, I'll put a warning. 

Some stories are simply positive. Not everything needs to be dark. <<less
