These are list of novels I’ve read for the past 3 years of discovering novel updates. These are gems and, and novels I love to read. ... more>>

Some of them are completely translated though the remaining are still under translation you can easily understand the MTLed version. 

The novels listed below are not particularly in order. I’ll add more once I found those novels I forgot to save 2 years ago. 

Hope this list will help you choose great novels to read.

You can also comment your novel suggestions so that others can enjoy it too!  HAPPY READING!! <<less

These are all the Romances that come highly recommended and have been on my radar. Ended up being quite an eclectic mix though. Enjoy!... more>>

Note: Obviously this list will frequently change. The novels are later either moved to my "New Favorite Historical Romance of 2022" list or my "Put on ice" list.

Latest moves:

      - New Favorite HR: Who cares?; The Imperial guard’s revenge; Royal Road; Villainess won’t let the main lead break up

      - Novels Put on ice:  <<less

Ancient trope of transmigrated female leads. Can be a bit fantasy-ish in genre, or a bit further to revolutionary age. Magical. Josei. Please heed ratings,... more>> as this list also include smut (but good ones). <<less

These boy-girl romance novels that I already read. its guaranted to be happy ending and high quality ones. All I read mostly happy ending because... more>> tragedy is not my cup of tea. <<less

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

Novels that I've read and loved. Some of them aren't completed yet but I've kept them here so I can keep up with the updates.

My Favorite Chinese Historical  Novels >.< This list consists of both BL and Straight novels with a rating above 4.0~... more>>

Note: Recently, some of the translation teams have taken their works down (dead links on the content section)  from NU (because NU has grown a lot) however most of them if not all have their own sites and the novels are still available there! So if you search the novels online you can still find them! ;)

P.S. There is also a part 2 with more novels and hidden gems for everyone to read! If interested the second list can be found on my account :)  <<less

Novels set in ancient China (or resembling it), featuring female protagonists that I like for being strong in their own ways.

This list resumes the chinese novels I have liked so far. Many may not be here for two reasons: a. I haven't read it; b. I really haven't liked it. ... more>>

Be aware, if the novel isn't tr*sh, it takes a lot for me not to like a Chinese Historical Novel. Btw, you might find one or two unusual participants in this list but it is probably because I have enjoyed the novels or many elements in it.

I accept recommendations, so please leave some comments!! I will keep updating every week! <<less

Just to keep track of what I’ve already read

Created this list to keep track of my favorite completed novels that I've read.  Some of these I like a lot more than others, but I'm too lazy to split them into multiple lists.  If anyone else finds it useful, then that's an added bonus :) - fair warning, a lot of these novels follow similar, if not the same, cliches and tropes, but that's what I like to read. *shrug*... more>>

Also, all have happy endings.  I hate reading a really good novel only to have it ruined with a depressing ending.

Some of these novels are not showing as complete on NU, but are completed elsewhere, so I'm including them.

I'll add notes/comments as I feel like it - some notes are just key points/words to remind me which novel it is.

I'm going to add any other novels I really love, but aren't on NU in the comments for tracking purposes.

BL novels listed separately.

Smut with plot also listed separately now - this is not saying that there is no smut/NSFW in the novels on this list, just moved any novels where smut seemed to be the main focus.

Also moved some to a new list for novels that I did enjoy reading, but probably won't read again (just to keep track of what I've read without adding to this list).  So I guess "favorite" = "worth rereading"

Just started Part 2 of this list - may sort them by genre or something later: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87122/?ft=yes <<less
