Notes:
>  mainly fem protag villainess, modern or ancient settings
>  mostly complete stories
> chapters averaging 100+ only, no patience for bingeing 1000+ chapters
> will probably move comment recs into list ones, just, idk if i'll know it got an entry ngl
> contains dropped reads
> ratings mean... some things, but GtRaSML will always be last because of how long the read more is <<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

If you don't have a home, then I'll give you a home. If you don't have any relatives, then I'll give you plenty of children. We'll have lots of kids and when they grow up and have family of their own, we'll have even more children. That way, you'll have a big family and plenty of loved ones.... more>>

Novels wherein I fell inlove with the FLs.

These FLs are (somewhat) decisive, stay true to their character, and have backbones all throughout or gained one after twists and turns.

You will see a lot of Jiu Yue Xi works. Damn, I love all of her female lead characters and of course, the novels itself.

There are recommended MTL'ed novels in the comment section.

Please do tell if you have recommendations. <<less

Combination of arranged marriage/marriage of convenience/flash marriage that I have read. ... more>>

Marriage first then love later is also one of my favorite tropes. The journey of how they blur the line between stranger and lovers 'lis quite funny and sweet.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste and do tell if you have recommendations.

At what age does a person have to be before his love can be justified?... more>>

the list contains an older FL/ML with atleast 3 years age gap. There is joy in age gap.

When FL is older than him, ML is usually a loyal and clingy puppy. 

Whilst,

When ML is older than her, FL is treated and pampered like a baby.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste as mine.

Second chances/lovers reunited is my chocolate. 

They said, "love is sweeter the second time around". And I agree (just in novels tho). I love how they change/correct each mistake and better themselves for him/her so this time, the happy ending they dreamed of will come true.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste and do tell if you have other recommendations.

Secret love. For some people, it is war and chaos; for others, it is a warm spring with flowers blooming.... more>>

list of novels with either MLs/FLs having a onesided love who were given a second chance by meeting again after a few years or through rebirth.

MLs with unrequited love is what I preferred. Esp when they do have cold and indifferent demeanor yet they become patient and considerate with anything that has to do with her.
 

If it's meant to be, then its meant to be. Afterall, none can steal the love one is born to find.

please do tell if you have recommendation.

Novels where MC hurt his/her loved ones in the past... realize their foolishness.. and do their best in seeking redemption / forgiveness.  (Note: Additional recommendations... more>> on comments section below. Most are raw chinese novels, i've completed. Feel free to reply if it already got an English translation.)  <<less

I LOVE fluff romance. Most of novels that I read are heartwarming story. I dislike dog-bloody drama. A bit drama is okay, but if whole story filled with unnecessary drama and s*upid misunderstanding, I can't read it. So these are my list of fluffy romance.... more>>

 

The list's ranking is not ordered. 

I don't too like ancient China setting, so all of these are modern day! 

I'm open if you have recommendations!! :) <<less

If you are into sweet, funny and fluffy modern/Ancient Chinese novel with transmigration mc. I recommended you this new novel that mc transmigration into book... more>> as villianess, supporting character, cannon fodder or villain's mother. <<less

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>>

Do please take note though, most of these novels are still being translated into English so I usually finished 'em by MTL. <<less

Any novels with dead links or that are not finished were mtl .

These are the novels I've given a try in 2021. I've also only been MTLing for like a couple of weeks so I've only completed some of them. I am of course going to include novels I've dropped and try to say the reason BUT, I have an awful memory so I don't even remember what I read last week, so some reviews might not be too accurate. Also my opinion is sh*t, don't trust me bc I get influenced by emotions, but if I rave about it it shouldn't be too bad, if I dropped it then... that's usually my fault.... more>>

I reached the list's limit so I'm not including certain unremarkable stories... I don't wanna do another list though, I guess I'll just have to stop reading this year. If push comes to shove I'll just replace the novels that I haven't read much of and didn't like.

Also yes..... this is what I read in > 4 months, I need a life and stop reading so much but this was a boring semester and reading was far more interesting than certain classes and just as useful (not useful). I hate myself omg guys don't do this! The way I don't even remember the names of these characters hftguyihio.

This is 96% CN, 3% JP, 1% KR.

ALSO STAN LOONA <<less

I want them as my husband. PERIODT

This list consists of stories with MLs that are sweet, cute, adorable, loving, caring, supportive, possessive, protective, responsible and loyal to their FLs to the point where you are choking on the scattered dog food and are feeling lonely. Quite a few yanderes here *coughs into fist*... more>>

Where is my ML husband?

If my husband isn't like this, I don't need him.

There's no ranking system in the arrangement of the novels. All MLs hold an equal position in my heart *sighs*

Status: Will never be completed~

No spoilers! <<less

FL that goes back through time and seizes the chance to make everything right. 

Romance with happy endings ♡ These are mostly short novels with no more than 100 chapters (not anymore*) I decided to make an account because I tend to forget the title and only remember the plot (￣ ￣|| ) Hope you'll like 'em too! Let me know if you have any suggestions that I can read. I prefer to read completed novels with happy endings. Thanks in advance! ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡ ... more>>

I was trying to sort the novels based on how I like it or the fluffiness xD BUT since it's getting quite long, those newly read novels are already in page 2 onwards xD <<less

* FL has a second chance or transport into a different body... more>>

* ML is misunderstood or is ill

* Most of these I have read via MTL

* Feel free to comment with suggestions! <<less

Recommend Best Fluffy Sweet Novel That Cure Your Depression. 

Nothing too edgy or boring. Just simple, quality romance stories. The story is not the only thing that needs to be good, but the translation as well. I also look to see if series either have a lot of available chapters or are new but consistently updating. There is no specific order to this list.... more>>

Currently looking for someone with similar tastes and standards, willing to help curate this list. <<less

This list is full of fluff. No angst, just fluff. Reads that made me smile and giggle all day long to the point of dying from diabetes. LOL. I've finished reading all of these, and are definitely highly recommended! Enjoy :)) PS: This is in no particular order. ... more>>

This is a list of all the novels that I have read with a female protagonist. Most of them have romance. Everything on this list has a happy ending of course. Some are more slice of life and some are very dramatic, but in the end these novels all left a good impression on me.... more>>

Not all the novels on this list are equally good. Some are okay, some are good, some are loved a lot. Nevertheless, I managed to complete them, so that means they're all readable.

For novels that are my absolute favourites which are those that I will reread many times, I will mark them with a "Best-Loved" award.

Some may get a "Honorable Mention" if they don't quite make it to Best-Loved, but they do stand out from the rest.

I will try my best to leave my impression of the novel in the comments. For some novels I will only say it's an enjoyable read which means for some reason or another they don't make the Best-Loved or Honorable Mentions list.

Acronyms I use often include FL aka female lead (also MC aka main character) and ML aka male lead. <<less
