for the people who are tired of face-slapping actresses, miracle medical geniuses, and gamer girls, aka the typical "novel" occupations 
most are 4+ stars; ordered by my read completion date (some are to-reads)... more>>

includes: fml and ml's occupations + my rating of how well career plays into the story + my review (if I've read it) 

My career-and-plot-integration rating criteria:

1- career is a feature of the fml's backstory and/or character setup; there's no function other than a way to meet other characters or cause drama; no actual work seems to be put into it; miscomprehension of the concept of a career

2- career is said to be important/life-long passion but is not delved upon beyond the surface level; may be prominent in an arc or two but is forgotten in most other chapters; instead of a romantic subplot, it's a work subplot; unrealistic depictions of career

3- career is somewhat important in fml's daily life; is mentioned consistently throughout the story but other things hold precedence; fml occasionally puts in some hard effort; partially realistic depictions of career

4- career is very important to the fml and she works hard on it; it may at times surpass the importance of other things like romance or personal wellbeing; obvious professional knowledge is referenced; mostly accurate depictions of career <<less

My favorite entertainment circle novels~ Mostly BL...

My favorite genre, these are the books that seem to be the best of slice of life. They are feel good novels with low drama. Some are TBR but most of the ones in this list are my favorite slice of life novels. ... more>>

*Read novels are at the bottom. Currently reading are at the top. 

*If you know any that are in the same vein as these, please make sure to leave them in the comments! <<less

This is the continuation of "STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS I"... more>>

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. 

The novels you're gonna be seeing here is still the same, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

Shiny things. Recommended translations. Anything that catches my fancy. 

romance with a focus on sweet, unconditional love and a little bit of hurt/comfort — novels that will tug at your heartstrings. includes mini reviews and besides the first two novels, which are my favorites i've read so far, the order of the list has no meaning. ... more>>

though a novel can fall under multiple categories, here they are categorized by what i believe to be the dominant, general theme (transmigration not included since imo most novels don't make full use of that aspect):

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤceo / 2, 8, 8, 14
