In this collection you’ll have some of the most heartwarming, evocative, and emotionally moving stories alongside some cute fluffy less dramatic stories. All of these... more>> stories have a happy ending. Note, this is only part one. Since NU only allows 100 titles per list, I have extended the titles into 2 parts. Part 2 is here https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/19618/ <<less

Well written CN novels with clever and inspiring characters that I've stumbled upon and will like to share...got a little bit of everything but bs ^_^ No order in terms of quality bc they're all GREAT (nothing below 4*)... more>>

LINK to part 2 since this list is filled up- https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/60592/ <<less

Sequence is CN- JP- KR- Fluffy- (Comedy)- Exceptions- To-reads. Not ranked by number. 
My descriptions varies greatly from a gist, polished review, impressions, or explains key points.        ... more>>

[Flexible Preferences] 
A. Protags are somehow mostly male but I read both!- interesting, has compelling qualities, flawed with development
B. Entertaining, Distinct, & Creative
C. Steady premise, no TERRIBLE plot hole 
D. Romance: good execution, pacing, build-up, & evokes emotion; no bullsh!t drama & brain-dead denseness
E. Vital, relevant, fleshed-out characters
F. Comedic & Fun
G. Danger, Wars, Battles, Strategy, Tactics, Trials, Fights, Thriller, Suspense
H. Lore, Culture, Kingdom, Worldbuilding 
I. Political Intrigue, Schemes, Mind Games, Manipulation, Mystery
J.  Pure tragedies rarely - it hurts!
K. No BL/GL(yet?)
L. Can be R-18 
M. Polygamous-like IF great story | even if you're averse consider my recs. ;)

[Criteria]
1. These are (mostly) 4/5 stars in story, translation and enjoyment according to my flawed evaluation that is mainly 3/10 objective, 7/10 subjective.
2. I have perused the novels or adaptation before sharing my thoughts.
3. Writing must be consistent, coherent and engaging and the ending must at least not be sh!t. Clichés to a point are fine however it needs to be purposeful & executed well. 
4. I will keep adding books that are promising, satisfying, translated.  <<less

This list consists of a whole lot of amazing romance novels. There will be many genres and also have historical and modern stories mixed in here.  Descriptions will be added to novels when I have time ... more>>

It will organized with completed novels first then updating ones. For both categories it will always be HIGHEST to lowest RATING.

Any novels that are still updating will have a completed MTL version cited. 

***This list will be updating frequently***

Thankyou for stopping by! I hope this saves some stress in finding a good novel! :D

I'm a very picky reader who often skimmed through many chapters and sometimes wouldn't even read til the end, unless imo the novel is really, really that good. And this is my list of the best BxG romance with female protagonist and more than 4 ⭐ ratings.... more>>

Sturgeon's law: 99% of everything is terrible.... more>>

I know many people say that there are no good novels on this site, and it oftens feels like the top lists are filled with overpowered MC's, undeveloped harems, 2D characters, and lacking plots.

There are some novels that stand out, however, whether that be for their plots, characters, or translations.

This is a list for my personal 1%. It is ranked in order. <<less
