my (2023) updated list of novels that live rent free in my head! ... more>>

As I was looking back and rereading my fave novels from the past 2 years, I realized how my taste in novels has evolved and matured. I've always been a picky reader, and most of the novels I've liked enough to put on my lists are still classics that I will live and die for (hence why they are on this list as well), but some left me wondering how they made it into my ultimate tier of quality literature. In the same vein, novels I dropped back then have made their way into the ranks. 

Speaking of "quality literature", I also reflected on how reading on NU has changed the way I filter and appreciate writing. Rarely do I just read a blurb and jump in; I vet the book by reading literally all the reviews, because finding out halfway that the MC keeps being s*upid, or that the hyped-up twist is not twisting, is traumatic- and a waste of time. I do feel regretful that I've become so wary of Chinese literature in a way that I have never been with American novels, but I do feel like it is a necessary thing to do to maximize my reading enjoyment. Imma save the ranting for my other list, but some novels on this site are so tr*sh that I feel like shaking the author and asking what they were thinking...

But I've also found so many gems that have surpassed the "gosh that was a great read" to having the characters living rent-free in my head... so let's get on with the list! <<less

Just a list of my own personal favs. :) I prefer longer novels, and I’m a fan of slow burns.

fav danmeis of all time

Danmei adapted to manhuas that have official English translations (completed/ongoing/discontinued) + where to read them (status included: ongoing unless stated otherwise). Most manhuas are R15 even when the novel's genre is yaoi.... more>>

Novels/manhuas that are printed or announced to be printed are put on the first page of the list. Works written by the same author are put together. Novels are sorted by their popularity.

Since the list reached 1oo positions, I created its second part, however they will be _both_ updated if and when new titles appear or get licensed, with new title's place based on the novel's popularity and/or whether the author's other works are on the list already. If you know danmeis with official English translations of their manhua adaptations that are here on novelupdates but not yet on my list, please let me know in the comments.
