A list of all the new shining stars of the genre.... more>>

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

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

A well-written stories that i've enjoyed reading. Some of it are sweet, fluffy, and heartwarming. Some are intense, passionate, and intriguing. Some are bittersweet and... more>> angsty. Both of leads relationship are so cute and precious. <<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

An eclectic collection of novels featuring female protagonists whom I want to root for.

All the good romance books I've read and wish someone suggested when I was new here. Mostly completed ones. I hear by declare that this list is 100% tr*sh free ;) 
Ok so on the list after like number 55 or so, the quality decreases. I mean it's arguable whether it's good or not. But honestly I liked it. I would say read the latters after you got nothing to read.... more>>

Will gradually add short reviews  <<less

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

Beautiful stories that have depth and sense of reality.... more>>

Comment below novels with beautiful moving plot.  <<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

Shining Shimmering Splendid ✨✨... more>>

A collection of my favorite chinese novels, best of the best! 
Rating above 4

P. S. Not in order  <<less

My planning to read/reading novel list~
NOTE: This list will be edited to fit my tastes.

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

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/

Pt 3 (slowly updating):

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/66164/

In no particular order.

Includes: bg/bl romances, enjoyable opness, supernatural, entertainment, fantasy, good fluff, s*x, smut, adventure and/or mystery, etc 

Low-key this list is just me forgetting all these books' plots. Lawl <<less

These are the novels that I already read and there were some novels in the list which I find interesting. It varies from Chinese, Japanese to Korean novels. There were some with bittersweet story but most of the books in the list were full of fluffiness. The plots and genres in my list were diverse ( I prefer to read books with unique plot) some of the novels were full of angst and smut but it is still a list with romance tag and it is purely boyxgirl love relationship.... more>>

Continuously  updating the list right now, if I find novels that are into my liking I'll add it here. <<less

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.
