[binge over, now filling comment recs zzz] SPOILERS + assume i used mtl sites unless stated... more>>

fell into cn mtl hell. oops. also a list can only fit up to 99 novels so

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

A man in full combat uniform especially a good looking one, is a must-see combination. And if the man is smoking so badassly, then that's deadly. If the FL can fight and save her own a** then that's even deadlier.... more>>

I remember a novel I once read. FL said, "How fun would it be to slowly unbutton a man's military uniform?". Well, in my dictionary, that's gonna be f*cking hot. Especially, if what I'll uncover are well defined muscles and sexy mermaid lines.

Please follow the list if you also love military theme or has the same weird taste as mine and do tell if you have other recommendations.

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

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

Villainess books that I would 100% recommend to those who like the genre! My criteria is that they were either transmigrated into a villainess body, once a villainess or act villainess-y. Rankings don't matter, but I try to put the lesser knowns above. Enjoy and I hope this list helps!!... more>>

*If novels are not getting updated, I will drop it. Exceptions are made only because I enjoyed reading it a lot <<less

Just read it don’t hesitate( actually hesitate on some of them.)
Also, not in any particular order and take these with a grain of salt cuz it’s made by a 15 year old.... more>>

FYI some might not be fully focused on romance, but I still add it because if you're like me, even if its plot is like the plot return of mount hua sect, if it has even a tiny hint of romance in the first 50 or so chaps, I'll dig that sh*t out.

For all the short stories or oneshots just read, they’re short anyway, or read some review on it first.

These novels aren’t on NU, but they are still good 

Author’s POV (still good but got a bit wack at some parts, but it’s 800 chaps so that’s normal.)

Shadow s*ave (got kind of boring after first arc for me.)
I started to gain sentience in an eroge (it’s quite good and it’s a “bit” crazy, just a bit)

FYI my review’s ratings for NU are always low standards, so if I gave it like a 4, it’ll probably mean that it’s cliche but pretty enjoyable. And a 3 is like, it’s aight but I didn’t enjoy it that much and got bored easily at some parts. And 2 is don’t even, also I change my ratings and opinions quite often once I look back on it because when I am reading it I read for pure enjoyment and not with a critical view. Like if there’s a plot hole, I just skimp over it, it’s only when I look back on it then I see the flaws. <<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

Novels I've completed reading where FL is brave/self-sufficient and ML is smart/supportive . Both have strong commitment and good communication in their relationship. Both undergoes character and career growth.. ... more>>

There were lot of novels out there that have brave FL and supportive ML but they fell flat for me as characters seems OP and there were really no character and career growth (yep, I'm looking for novels with REALISTIC career narrative).  <<less

This list are the result of my treasure hunt in novelupdates. I wish i could wipe out my memory so i can feel the same... more>> pleasure and excitement after reading the novel below. As you can see i love dependable ML and sometimes filtering them makes me like ML that are from powerful family, Doctor, or Military man. <<less

!PLEASE READ!:    
ORDER: Alphabetical... more>>

Go check @sonialu 's list < Impression? Quality? Worthy? Check. >  To see summaries for these books. 
All types of genres in here (mostly horror, thriller, mystery, Romance) 

Rest assured my dear action fans 

There might be some BL novels included.  A LOT but don't worry there is also BG, GL ... if i can find it

~.~ !   

There is a lot of BL at first, but keep going and you'll see BG and GL ( if i can find it ) <<less

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

Note: All novels are rated above 4* and you can be rest assured to find some hidden gems here >o^... more>>

Okay, let's be realistic everyone~ ^v^ Human beings are not of the same mold, shape or size hence everyone's bound to have different preferences in some kind of form. Therefore, here I dutifully present to you my collection of novels that have had made the most impression on me and I can only hope that you may find THE ONE from this list.

PS. I personally love good quality reads that has a decent plot line and good character developments, as well as great translation work lest I have to destroy my brain cells haha Xd <<less

I want them as my husband. PERIODT

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>>

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

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

Romance that gratify my soul. They are super sweet novels that give me a dopamine rush. Novels that make you crave for that kind of love. In addition to underrated gems, I have tried to include various fluffy, BG novels of different genres. Enjoy!! :)... more>>

-Not ranked in order; highly rated novels; BG; 1v1 (no harem), HE, lots of fluff <<less

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

here are some c-novels that i read till the end, kinda grouped the list by troupe

FLs that are not afraid to catch their MLs or they may not be pursuing at first but once caught are aggresively pouncing and teasing... more>> their MLs  <<less

CN, KRN, and JPN I only got to know, read and love when NU came to my life... As well as MLs I need in my life because of their infinite love and care for their FLs... sana ol... more>>

Note: The list will be updated every now and then because there are some novels I had read and loved in the past but forgot the titles due to reading many recent updated novels. Also, I may sort the novels' ranking. Thank you.

A list of rereads and new reads before my school starts along with my two cents... more>>

all BG

please do drop some good novels in the comments if you have some recommendations! <<less

They won't all have something in common with each other, they're not all badass, but they are all likeable and lovely people in some way... more>> that I get why the ML fell in love with them, because I'd definitely fall for them too. Priority goes to bold MCs that chase first because usually those are the ones that exhibit such lovable traits. But they won't make up the entire 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

1st List^^ -- Stories that are interesting, with nice plot, writing and translation.. Some are fully translated, and some are still work in progress-- Have... more>> fun reading~ <<less

Lady leads who don't take sh*t from no one. They qualify for this list if they are independent, practical, no-nonsense, and preferably if they enjoy pushing down shy boys. My waist hurts just reading about simpering weak FLs.... more>>

List is roughly sorted according to badassery. <<less
