Spoilers in description.... more>>

Not a comprehensive list - only novels I enjoyed <<less

;)

novels that could seek even into the depths of one’s soul.

my list of the best novels on novelupdates! will include KR, CN, & JP, though most of them are korean. most of the novels listed... more>> are romance (with the exceptions being ones that focus more on family). one of my fav genres is angst so there are some on here that are pretty dark! <<less

The book said, I will take 99 steps towards you and you only need to take the remaining one step. But no need. I will run all one hundred steps and you don't have to do anything, just stand there and wait for me. ... more>>

I guess with age, our taste turns weirder. I no longer dream of the prince charming on a white horse, but rather, I've set my target on the cold and indifferent villain. So here is the list of my favorite, flawed yet amazing MLs. 

This is purely subjective and please follow the list if you have the same weird taste as mine and do tell if you have other recommendations.

 The list contains:

Him/her with his/her unrequited love;

Couples who were separated for a very long time and unsure of the other person's feeling, but stayed true and loyal to his woman;

Or an ML who caused misery/grievance to his woman at first but turned st*pidly sweet after the redemption arc.

With that being said, Im into MLs with emotional issues and social barriers so you may not like them at first. I dont like perfect and very good mannered MLs, I like them flawed!

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem.

Recommended novels not linked to NU. Most are less than 100 chapters including extras.. (titles and synopsis in the comment section, mtl'ed but decipherable) <<less

I can't seem to find good short novels when I crave them. So I'll be making a list here for myself and for those who... more>> face the same problem as me. There won't be much historical novels as I don't really read them. All of these are chinese romantic short novels. <<less

Best I've read. Ranging from moving to comedic, No romance- romance

No description.

I’m all for the romance or unique plots. I can’t stand dumb and flat characters.... more>>

a million/5 don’t even read the description, just dive in!

5/5 not unique but characters/plot well written with 0 to minor flaws 

4/5 either characters occasionally acting too s*upid, too slow pace or plot has holes that aren’t consistent, but readable if you’re bored  <<less

Hi! ... more>>

Just a list of novels that I have read/to read and like :) Mainly a lot of transmigration, historical, romance, comedy, slice of life and... tragedy (ahh my guilty pleasure ;;) <<less

This list is for the inner masochist inside all of us. ... more>>

That, or you just need a reason to cry <<less

This list has both BL and BG novels. ... more>>

Beware that not all novels have the satisfying groveling scenes from ML. 

I included some BE novels where I felt that the decisions MC took was very fitting even if there is no groveling from the ML or if the MC is dead to see that part. 

You’ll find most of Shui Qian Cheng’s novels who is well known for her 188cm group of novels featuring angsty novels about scum going groveling for their mistakes.

I only included the novels I was satisfied with.

Caution: Enjoy these novels, but avoid romanticizing the ML or fantasizing them as great lovers. Most of the MLs are just awful people, except for my beloved Lan Zhan, who is the epitome of kindness, Justice & all the good things. Remember, in real life, those who treat others poorly are likely to treat you the same way or mistreat you repeatedly will continue to mistreat you. Those who are controlling, manipulative, and obsessive never end with happy endings. Change in adults is difficult, even with love. Look into real-life cases of abusive partners to get a reality check.

Do keep that in mind. Hope you enjoy the novels below. <<less
