This list contains my romance novels on my reading lists.
I have separate lists for novels that take place between 50s-90s, switched at birth stories, cultivation novels (xianxia / xuanhuan).  So most of these novels are not included in this list.... more>>

My personal ratings

5 - I really love this novel. Will read this again again.

4 - I really like this novel. Will read this again.

3 - this is a nice novel. I liked it. I might read this again.

2 - this novel was okay, but I wouldn't want to read it again. Usually I find these rather boring, or at least not interesting enough to check out again.

1 - I didn't like this novel. <<less

Novels you should stay away from, if like me, you have a fragile heart who can't handle too much angst. In these novels there are... more>> major misunderstandings and lack of communication between dense and detestable main characters. They either cheat on their partners or force themselves on them(rape). Some of these stories are cliché and some are awfully complicated with cliché plot twists. <<less

- Stories I've read

Novels with Female Leads that aren’t as great as they think they are.... more>>

Whether their thought processes are too short-sighted, their ‘face-slapping’ schemes too generic, or their lofty personalities too embarrassingly petty, these FLs will make you question why an author dedicated days of their life to such cringeworthy characters. Most display an initially strong and self-reliant persona, but eventually (and sometimes too quickly) switch to a submissive woman-child who can only survive plot points with the help of the ML. Whether they get mol*sted or ravaged, these FLs will always forgive their MLs after some domineering kisses and token pampering (because L*O*V*E).

Read these novels if you like seeing women abandon their self-worth because it’s all okay as long as a strong, handsome man wants to own you. <<less
