- Apocalypse: Living with a Cute Baby  (☆: 4.5/10)

mostly c-novels/transmigration... more>>

sorta in the order of how much i enjoyed/liked it 

all are novels that i genuinely liked tho!! otherwise i would've dropped it (all dropped novels are listed in the comment below :) lmk if i dropped a novel prematurely and i should try it again)

my recently read novels got a letter grade score (A+, A-, etc) from me, i'm planning on going through and scoring the rest <<less

By "good romantic story", at minimum: no bs that isn't justified or explained, or is overly done; romance is not offensive, neither lead being an as*hole to each other; romance that isn't overly dry or has too much drama; leads may be either slightly stereotypes or codependent but at least it's cute and they are not 2d but the sides may be a little; chemistry is good and story plot is mediocre or vice versa... more>>

At best: independent badass leads where the romance is a build up of them doing their own thing and getting to know each other; solid world building; 3d characters all around; fluff that makes you happy and not bored to read; there is actually good plot; there is life beyond romance but the romance makes it nice to read too

Pt 1 is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16574/

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 

For more, my all times "Best historical novels" list is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/19039/ <<less

A bit of transmigration, rebirth and learning from past mistakes! Oh, and revenge too lol

Enjoyable/light (may include tragic) reads below 100 chapters... more>>

Unlisted novels from onesecondspring.blogspot:
-Little Moon’s Matchmaking Mission
-The Sun’s Dark Love
-The Princess Who Cannot Marry <<less

These are some of the best NU-archived works I've found in their genres. Each have either brilliant plotlines, great writing techniques, intricate worldbuildings, superb character development, or all of the above. No harem, no R-18, no BL, no overly cliched s*upid dog blood dramas whatsoever. Some are completely translated, some are completed in raws, and the rest are still ongoing (I've completely read all the raws mostly in shubaow.net for CN novels, but the writings are good enough if you want to MTL or go to mtlnovel.com).... more>>

List is sorted by ranks. <<less

If you're like me who can't resist temptation of good novels in price of killing sleep, then you're in the right place! These novels are the one which I read by killing my sleep. These are source of great imaginations and entertainment as these leads are very independent and strong. So, let's enjoy these together.... more>>

Because the 1st, 2nd & 3rd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 4th list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on those lists will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing them first, Go See that 1st!}

And here I'll try to add all the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful which couldn't fit on the previous lists. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include korean, chinese, japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o   <<less

Genre: Historical, Xianxia, Wuxia, Xuanhuan

An alphabetically ordered list of books chosen out of the 520+ completed books I've read on this site that I find to be very compelling in plot and style. ... more>>

- Contains niche books, so if you don't know what next to read, give this list a try
-Most on the list are not fluff, since those tend to melt my brain from boredom after a while (though I have read many, many)
- ONLY completed books (a few do end in cliffhangers, but I will note them)
-I didn't think I read this many BL books, but probably more than half is BL (don't blame me, blame the ones who are translating so many <.<) <<less

This list contains a diverse genres/themes. I read historical, contemporary, wuxia, etc. I am especially into slice of life. I am going to try to add only novels that are fully translated. I do hope this list gives you some novels to enjoy. I'll try updating once in a while! ... more>>

PS I haven't updated this list recently because I am reading novels from webnovel. Discovered some good and bad ones. haha I will get back to novelupdates soon coz i have currently 275 completely translated novels in my reading list O_O  <<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

One of the requirements for a good novel to me is a strong female lead. These novels have my favorite fl, who are admirable in their own way. Arranged in no particular order. ... more>>

WARNING: This list is just of the female leads only and in no way reflects the review of novel as a whole. So, I can guarantee you the novels in the list have promising fl but for other criterias please refer to the reviews. <<less

Hello!... more>>

This is the second part to ‘A collection of chinese romance novels’ since I have reached 100 stories limit on the first one. 

I will be following the same format and organizing it when I have the time! The novels here will all be decently rated because that usually means it’s worthwhile! Ofc It will be ordered from highest to lowest for ease.

I hope this helps you find the next story without trouble, cheers! :)

Part 1-

Korean Novels - <<less

No harem... more>>

- First 18 novels have male protagonists 

Other novel recommendations:

- "starting from fooling the elderly into registering for a cultivation training class" (MC, modern day, introducing cultivation to the world)
- "Immortal's wine store" (Heavenly God MC transmigrates to new world, w system providing missions to brew wine)

 - "watch out! danger ahead" (FMC, horror, survival game to be God, from weak to OP, start was quite interesting)

- "shocking the whole internet! He's not a psychologist at all!" (MC, lifestreams to help change others' fate and cultivate to be immortal)

- "the rich young lady destroyed her dream girl script" (FMC, OP main characters, not your usual dreaming of being in a novel/character w system story -- in fact kinda like downfall)

- "among cultivators, I stand above all" (FMC, aware she'll be killed by novel MC in future, tries to make use of her time to learn as many skills, one of the most hardworking cultivator MC I know)

- "transmigrating as a delicate bundle of luck for a farming family" (FMC, one of the sweetest loving family/friend relationships, with MC being a divine doctor, though ended up going an unexpected plot line, made me tear up many times early in novel, with interesting mix of cultivation/superpowers introduced in later stages, stopped around 800+chapters) <<less
