Gems and treasures found in Novelupdates!! Stories that you'll never be forgotten. Like a sculpture, carve by the authors amazing minds.

Novels set in ancient China (or resembling it), featuring female protagonists that I like for being strong in their own ways.

See my “Fluffy Straight Romance” lists in 3 parts for more in depth reviews and more recommendations. 

Mostly set in ancient China so expect politics, harem, face slapping, honorifics, you know the drill. Added some with a modern set up only if I can’t find anything that interests me as of the moment.... more>>

If completed via MTL, will rate MTL quality from 1-5. <<less

Tired of rude, overbearing Gary Stus who don't know how to treat a girl (or any human) right? Look no further as this list comprises... more>> of male leads who truly love their female counterparts and know how to treat them right. <<less

“Before You Embark On A Journey Of Revenge, Dig Two Graves” — Confucius... more>>

"In the road of revenge, no one could turn around. It did not mean that if there was kindness in the past, there would be a reason to why mistakes could be made in the future. The wicked were never worthy of any mercy and the winners would always speak the last words to the losers before their heads fell."

No love rivals, s*upid misunderstandings, or cheating (aka ML being w/ anyone other then FL). If you guys have any recommendations, please leave me a comment. I'm always on the lookout for a good book! <<less

Part 2, it’s a continuation of my previous list. Link: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8369/ ... more>>

Honestly just a cluster of different stories that fall under this title that I enjoyed. I love humorous stories, so you will notice that is a theme. I also like mu*der mysteries, transmigration, some otome/villainess, and gaming genres. This is my first list, so it is fairly unorganized but I left comments on a few directly relating them to others. Note that some of these stories start out fairly serious and do not become fluffy or comedic till much later in the reading. Feel free to comment any recommendations you may have for me after seeing my preferences! It is greatly appreciated. 

During my free time, I’ll add scores between 1-5 on how worthwhile they are to read. 1) Only read if you’re bored to absolute tears; 2) it’s an okay read, some dissatisfying parts, not a priority at all; 3) Not particularly bad or good, just something to pass the time when you have a long trip (it won’t feel like an absolute waste of time or make you feel particularly dissatisfied after reading); 4) Good read that you should read; 5) Excellent/MUST read. If the score contains a .5, then it could go in either direction of the whole numbers it’s closest to. Keep in mind, none of the novels listed here are awful. Some are definitely better than others, but all of them have their own merits.  <<less

Ancient BG Novels I have read and loved . They includes charismatic protagonist and doting male leads. There should be no misunderstanding between them.... more>>

No ranking  <<less

Historical/xianxia/transmig that I actually liked... more>>

Stuff I haven't dropped yet or have read to completion or at least plan to finish reading. The good stuff. Mostly down to earth female protagonists (or love interests) you won't feel the need to strangle. Too much. 

Lots of strong women here, whether mentally or physically or... eventually haha. Some fluff, some serious, many both.

Mostly female MC, but might add some male MC stuff if it feels like it fits the theme of the list. 

No particular order.

Recs welcome: leave comment :) Or just to agree or disagree about my views on the novels. Discussion welcome :)  <<less

A few ancient Chinese novels whose heroines I am quite fond of. Mostly calm, smart, and reasonable women who are not overpowered. Most of these webnovels... more>> also have minimal angst. I also have untranslated suggestions in the comments. <<less

Just because it is cute and funny or has a standard plot, doesn't mean it has to be dimwitted or break your brain. Romance novels... more>> that aren't the brightest lightbulbs on the ceiling and you wouldn't want them any other way. <<less

The list is collated for people interested in a variety of josei novels with no specific trope. There is a lack of overly-brainless and mary-sue... more>> type of characters. Each of the novels will guarantee binge reading. I am not responsible for the after binge headaches and the redness of eyes. Please enjoy at your own risk! <<less

Hello there, thanks for coming over! ... more>>
