Awaiting novels for reading

These novels are so short you can read them in 30 seconds.

No description.

Mary Sue female leads are overrated. I love an mc who is not too forgiving, too sweet and innocent. I love an Mc who deals... more>> with scheming dogs ruthlessly and are actually smart enough to not be a damsel in distress all the time!!!  <<less

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

PS: I'm an avid reader of HR novels but my initial list of favorites was getting too long so I simply divided it in 2. There's one list for the well-known classics & one for the upcoming shakers.  This here is obviously the latter. On that note, happy reading :)

Rating:   ❤️❤️❤️ To-die-for             ❤️❤️ Greatly entertaining                     ❤️ Enjoyable

I am an acute fujoshi, that I find it hard to read a normal straight romance that is too fluffy or too girly. I'd rather... more>> read a no-romance at all rather than a boy-girl novel. So, this is the BG novels that apparently I have read, and I didn't feel any cringiness while reading it. <<less

Sometimes I wonder... If a fledging reader comes up to me and asks what stories I recommend them to read, how would I corrupt them *cough* introduce them into the delightful world of webnovel reading... This is my list. ... more>>

Each story listed here are unique gems, with a different sparkle that caught my eye. It could be for its mighty fine plot, awesome character development, laughter/fear/tears inducing ability, inspiring messages, or quirky story telling method... All in all, each book is a darn good read.
