We all know that some novels when MTL'ed can kill a few of your brain cells,  but here are some that I'll willingly sacrifice them... more>> for.   <<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

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

All of the novels in this list are good in their own ways and random.... more>>

I will not rate, I read novel randomly. I’ll just put how far the chapter I read.  <<less

I am always  looking for MC's who seem who I can relate with or find endearing. So this is the list of my favorite MC's.... more>>

There can be both men and women MC. Also I am going to add summary later. <<less

Good storylines, no idiotic leads, enjoyable characters, logical progressions, good writing, cute romance - this is my ultimate list. The I'm done with bs characters and stories list. ... more>>

Not in any order.

Pt 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46662/

Pt 3 (slowly updating):  https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/66164/

Includes: cliches done well, bl, heteros*xual romance, fluffy stories, fantasy, music, good OPness, adventure, s*x, smut, and/or gaming <<less

A list about normal, non-OP reincarnated/transmigrated females trying to survive in realistic, ancient society. (Feel free to recommend on what should go on to the list) ... more>>

- can or cannot be in Ancient Times

- OP as loose term, mostly meaning no superpowers and always winning/outsmarting everyone

- preferably with a slice of life atmosphere <<less

Just see the tags.. Only add Complete novel (translated or MTL), and no BL/GL. There still some novel in my bookmarks chrome that yet i move here..... more>>

Oh, i can't add anymore (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠)  i already make the sec list \⁠(⁠ϋ⁠)⁠/ <<less

Mainly strong female characters with brains, beautiful leads, power play or intrigue, good plot and world building. I do have soft spots for handsome men... more>> and handsome female leads. Sometimes with a dash of fantasy, but almost all the time historical. Not in any order. <<less

Novels with a historical setting that kept me intrigued till the very end. Romance, Political intrigue, mu*der mysteries, harem fights and revenge galore.... more>>

( please note : you must dumb down a lot of your morals for these. Even though none of these will be too disturbing, each one them definitely does touch the morally grey area few times.

includes BL and BG ( and one GL)

( will be BG unless stated otherwise !

Most of them are complete , others are relatively easy to MTL. 

Arranged in no particular order ! <<less

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. ... more>>

The novels you're gonna be seeing here are of course, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters spent to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

Found out there's a limit on how much you could add on the list so... I'm gonna be making a Recommendation list no. 2!
