My personal ratings

4 - I really like this novel. Will read this again.

3 - this is a nice novel. I liked it. I might read this again.

2 - this novel was okay, but I wouldn't want to read it again. Usually I find these rather boring, or at least not interesting enough to check out again.

1 - I didn't like this novel. <<less

our mc chasing the ML! GO gurl. chase  what u want.

Where the FL has talent(s) or skill(s) that sets them apart from the others, and was built through experience, not shortcuts. This list also includes the ones I haven't read so some wrong ones might be included.... more>>

In the description, "talented" means the FL has natural talent in it and can cultivate the skill quickly. "good at" means FL achieved the skill mainly through through long training period, even when the FL does have talent in it. Excludes Quick Transmigration stories as those are technically cheating ~_~"

These ancient Chinese historical stories not only have a satisfying romance (thus far), but they also include plots of politics and other deep topics (such as social commentary). Most* of these also have good/excellent translations and writing! Notes are included to highlight what I like (and don't exactly like) about each title. All of these have female protagonists. Most stories are either completely translated or have regular updates. List is more or less in order of what I like the most and find most fun to read, all the way down to ones that don't entice strong reactions for me but I like them enough to list them.... more>>

*There is at least one title on this list that I have dropped. I have noted it, but still left it as is I liked the first part of the novel well-enough to warrant a place on this list. There are at least two MTL'ed stories on this list as well. <<less

The four arts (四藝, siyi), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic accomplishments required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They are qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.
