Fantasy / Slice of Life novels to breeze through, mostly mindless fluff but a precious few located at the top have plot. Untranslated works included... more>> below. <<less

No particular criteria except it has to be fluffy and sweet. Nothing will be excluded(ex: might have dense protags, harems, etc.) as long as it... more>> is sweet enough. That being said, if said bad elements(previous but also including things like low TL quality, rigid dialogue, etc.) detract too much to the point where it makes the story not feel fluffy/sweet enough then it won't be on this list. Exception to this rule is isekai cuz f*ck isekai. Anyways, prepare to die to sugar overdose. <<less

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. ... more>>

The novels you're gonna be seeing here are of course, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters spent 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.

----------

Found out there's a limit on how much you could add on the list so... I'm gonna be making a Recommendation list no. 2!

STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS I 

STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS II - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/45480/

STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS III - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/45549/ <<less

the title. It's literally all romance because I can't stomach reading anything else. There are various kinds of romance here, so if you're just looking for fluff/sugar go look at my other list. This is just what I enjoy the most. (todo im updating other list rn). ... more>>

edit: in hindsight there may be a few things that aren't romance but it's pretty much all romance don't worry about it <<less

Mostly includes Korean novels and any novels that have a nobility/royalty setting.... more>>

Most of them have more than 10 chapters. <<less

A dump of my favorite Korean novels that I’m reading or plan to read ... more>>

* not listed in any particular order

* does contain some "mature" novels  <<less

Just read it don’t hesitate( actually hesitate on some of them.)
Also, not in any particular order and take these with a grain of salt cuz it’s made by a 15 year old.... more>>

FYI some might not be fully focused on romance, but I still add it because if you're like me, even if its plot is like the plot return of mount hua sect, if it has even a tiny hint of romance in the first 50 or so chaps, I'll dig that sh*t out.

For all the short stories or oneshots just read, they’re short anyway, or read some review on it first.

These novels aren’t on NU, but they are still good 

Author’s POV (still good but got a bit wack at some parts, but it’s 800 chaps so that’s normal.)

Shadow s*ave (got kind of boring after first arc for me.)
I started to gain sentience in an eroge (it’s quite good and it’s a “bit” crazy, just a bit)

FYI my review’s ratings for NU are always low standards, so if I gave it like a 4, it’ll probably mean that it’s cliche but pretty enjoyable. And a 3 is like, it’s aight but I didn’t enjoy it that much and got bored easily at some parts. And 2 is don’t even, also I change my ratings and opinions quite often once I look back on it because when I am reading it I read for pure enjoyment and not with a critical view. Like if there’s a plot hole, I just skimp over it, it’s only when I look back on it then I see the flaws. <<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

This is the continuation of STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS I and STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS II... 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, xianxia, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). This time this reading list is still light-hearted and sweet but more xianxia.

------

We reached the limit, AGAIN. I still have a lot to share so maybe I'm gonna make a no.4 ... maybe

Japanese Otome+Shoujo+Jousei Oneshots/Short Stories: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/22225/Japanese Otome+Shoujo+Jousei Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/24471/?ft=yes

Part 1 has finally finished and it will be a 99 list to not be repetitive in my PART 2 that has been created. ^^ So... see you around? ♥♥♥ <<less

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>>

Last three newly added: #9 | Don’t Touch Porcelain, #22 | Unconscious, #14 | I Am Average and Unremarkable

No. 1 - No. 32 | Incomplete Translations

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

that feeling when you're so into as novel and then the translators drop it ... more>>

or the feeling of being left on a cliffhanger but having no where to even 

these are completed - that means no waiting, no pain yay 

lots are one shots but there's so really good long ones in there as well e.g Ascending do not disturb  <<less

List no.2 of:Fluffy + short + HE (mostly BG).... more>>

Here's list 1: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/9629/

Some recommendations not found on NU:

1- Daddy, Delivery of Mommy Has Arrived! -- https://www.mtlnovel.com/daddy-delivery-of-mommy-has-arrived/

2- the devil king of fast wear was a little sweet --https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.webnovel.com/amp/book/15654246906654305

3- Five Villain Daddies are fighting to spoil me-- https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.webnovel.com/amp/book/18001384405889205 <<less

Second list of novels I have read. Most of these are Chinese novels. I think all of them are translated even if it doesn't say... more>> so. There are all types of genres so I recommend reading the tags in case it's not your cup of tea :) <<less

Female Human with Male Monster suitor. Monster as in an actual type of creature, not some sort of nickname they picked up. HEADS UP list... more>> also has smut so remember to read the tags PPL. <<less

Stories set on any era and culture of the west: classical, medieval, renaissance, industrial revolution, victorian, world war, fictional universe, etc. Please beware of mature contents. Straight romance only.... more>>

Note: This list is still underconstruction. Some may be added in, some may be taken out. For the later case, it's usually because suddenly I don't like the direction the stories are heading to. The sorting can sometimes also change, because at the front page, I want to present the underrated stories rather than the already famous stories.  <<less

Genre: Psychological, Mystery... more>>

Psychological: 1-16
Mystery: 17-37 <<less

Heteros*xual Romantic Relationships (some are exophilia) [No Harem or School Life & very little Slice of Life]... more>>

For my followers and those who wish to follow: Let it be known that this is not an accurate list.  I have excluded some nonhuman males.  Stories that are under 10 chapters long and have not been updated in a year will not be included in this list.  I will include descriptions for each as I read them.

~If you're looking for completed stories good enough to be read more than once, then check out my 'Completed Favorites' list.  I highly recommend it! <<less

Created this list to keep track of my favorite completed novels that I've read.  Some of these I like a lot more than others, but I'm too lazy to split them into multiple lists.  If anyone else finds it useful, then that's an added bonus :) - fair warning, a lot of these novels follow similar, if not the same, cliches and tropes, but that's what I like to read. *shrug*... more>>

Also, all have happy endings.  I hate reading a really good novel only to have it ruined with a depressing ending.

Some of these novels are not showing as complete on NU, but are completed elsewhere, so I'm including them.

I'll add notes/comments as I feel like it - some notes are just key points/words to remind me which novel it is.

I'm going to add any other novels I really love, but aren't on NU in the comments for tracking purposes.

BL novels listed separately.

Smut with plot also listed separately now - this is not saying that there is no smut/NSFW in the novels on this list, just moved any novels where smut seemed to be the main focus.

Also moved some to a new list for novels that I did enjoy reading, but probably won't read again (just to keep track of what I've read without adding to this list).  So I guess "favorite" = "worth rereading"

Just started Part 2 of this list - may sort them by genre or something later: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87122/?ft=yes <<less

Only oneshots that are japanese originals. What I need when I'm bored.

Library style of hoarding so the updates will continue, my comments will continue and I WILL CONTINUE!!! ♥(>o<)♥ <<less

NO YANDERES and no s*upid MCs. Complete only.... more>>

Het / GL / BL (in that order, mostly alphabetical). 

Also these are only stories I like, so they (usually) don't drag on too long. I HATE r*pe AND YANDERES UG so here's some fluffy goodness for the soul. 

In terms of the romance tho, this list varies widely. 

If recs or suggestions or comments on the books plz comment thx :) <<less

These are highly popular and highly rated romantic fantasy novels that I have NOT tried yet.  I've been collecting them feverishly, needed to separate the best ones to try, and figured I'd share the goodies!... more>>

I'm heavily biased towards female protagonists (but fine with multiple viewpoints/perspectives) and male love interests.  I also usually dislike harem in general, you *probably* won't see it here.

Whenever I read one, I'll write a very short general opinion. <<less

These are the novels that I already read and there were some novels in the list which I find interesting. It varies from Chinese, Japanese to Korean novels. There were some with bittersweet story but most of the books in the list were full of fluffiness. The plots and genres in my list were diverse ( I prefer to read books with unique plot) some of the novels were full of angst and smut but it is still a list with romance tag and it is purely boyxgirl love relationship.... more>>

Continuously  updating the list right now, if I find novels that are into my liking I'll add it here. <<less
