Cleanse yourself of overbearing CEOs, obsessive yanderes, cold and low EQ snobs, insidious black bellies, mu*derous tyrants, and needy man children, and embrace the beauty... more>> that is the firm but fair, sweet, kind, healing and gentle male leads. On this list we stan men whom are not just excellent boyfriends but excellent men in general. I tried to only include MLs that were sweet and considerate to the FLs all the way through (no midway personality changes, no tsundere tendencies, etc.).  <<less

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

No description.

Long novels with more than 150 chapters. Has bl, romance, and long af fantasy/scifi novels. Quality kind of guaranteed, negative points can still be acceptable (actually, no but yes but you can handle it). Sad endings not included. But some of the extremely long ones tend to get repetitive and a tad bit boring by the end. The 2nd to 24th book follows the pattern bl-bg-ml and each set has at least one lighthearted read so I don't get sick of reading. If I get bored halfway, I'll pause and read shorter novels as a palate cleanser... more>>

Favorite romances that take place in ancient China, but not in the Emperor’s palace

I read a lot of historical romance so I'm a bit fussy, well-written leads (who have chemistry) and a decent plot are a must!  Also, cliche tropes are fun once in a while but I prefer things that are a bit more unique.... more>>

This list will include some spicy ones... <<less

*List changed to include other genres*... more>>

If you're like me, you're tired of the jerks in real life, you don't need them in the safe space of novels too. If so, this list is for you!

As the title said, no Male leads who are abusive, aggressive, overly possessive, or rapists. The quality of the novels will vary, but you can be sure that none of the novels here will have creeps MLS. 

-Fights between ML and FM may be present, even physical ones, only because sometimes they start as enemies, but never in the context of domestic violence, r*pe, abuse, and torture. Because after that kind of thing, she is a victim, not a wife. 

-r*pe as a punishment sometimes will appear in the list, because some are in gray areas. (I will only consider it as a gray area if wasn't a plan made originally by the protagonist, so think like "the villain planned but the protagonist defended herself kind of thing). And I'll warn you in the comments so if you don't like this, you can avoid it.

 - I will update this list as I find more novels that fit here. If you find that some novels here developed in bad ways regarding the ML, please let me know in the comments, and I will update it, the novels in the list are safe ones until the last chapter I've read. But I can't always follow all of them, so I'd appreciate recommendations and advice.  <<less

A collection of novels with food as a main theme.

✓List is full please check out list 2 here:https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/25580/... more>>

1. Fluffy Novels with rougly <100 to 200 chapters (no. of raw chapters)

Mostly CN, HE and BG --- no, 1 - 37 are completed

2. Each story has its own characteristics. There are modern day, ancient, transmigration, showbiz, business, rebirth, second chances, cultivation etc.

3. The best part of these novels is that, as they are so short, they have no drags, elaborate schemes, unnecessary plot twists, repeated scenes, lengthy dialogues, too much angst, etc.

4. You can easily MTL it on (MTLNOVEL. .com)  

5. The relationships are respectable with no r*pe, S&M type relationships, gory or other disturbing elements presents 

6. The most attractive elements of these novels is LOVE:  sweet & sour, fluffy romantic love (or) heartwarming 'aww' relationships between family. Some even can be defined as couple goals. Hot, passionate, fiery ,obsessive love that stabilises over time from its initial madness (or) sweet, mature, slow but steady love that's nutured with care, understanding and proper communication.

Do comment below if you've any suitable additions for the list as I am still expanding as I explore more. <<less

No matter what kind of relationship, LGBTQ or not, familial affection, everything can be fluffy!

But sometimes I don't want it too sweet, so there's some novels which are sweet, but without much fluff.
