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

Simply put, novels with a protagonist that shows distinct moments of apathy towards certain moments, the situation they are found in or people.... more>>

Granted, it's deserved apathy.

The novels are in no particular order. <<less

These are just the bunch of novels that I highly recommend and they have good ratings with minimum 3.8/5 so it is BREAD APPROVED!!!

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

2022 Novels Recap... more>>

Its my second anniversary of getting into ropan's novel! I got to know a lot of amazing male lea-, ehm, novels this year. i would like to express my gratitude for booktokki that provide free raw for us, and makes me able to read a lot of finished novels, T.T.  I AM OBSESSED with ropan at this point! as i read it 24/7

For my taste in novel, first of all i only read ropan, bcs i find it hard to find usual romance that doesn't have typical drama cliche and frustation.  I'm not into frustating drama. I'm not into frustating ml/fl. I like cliche. I hate 2nd ml/fl. I prefer to avoid plot on isekai into a BL world. If i'm curious, i depend on the spoiler forum, but i wont read it myself. I wont hurt myself with annoyingly frustating story. I prefer novels with 120s chapter, so i can binge it quickly.

I wish i got to know a lot more ropan next year, and i hope i got something good out of it. 

Happy New year guys! <<less

Only oneshots that are japanese originals. What I need when I'm bored.

It's simply novels set in an noble/royal structure with an female MC that I enjoy. They may or may not be good people, but they... more>> are usually the reason I read these. Some have reincarnation, others not. <<less

These are just my personal favorites, something you can binge when you have time to kill. Some of them are completed and some are still ongoing. ... more>>

I can assure you that you won't be triggered to throw your phone across the room.

Most of them are romance themes though.  <<less

A list of my all-time favorite short novels that I won't hesitate to read again! <3 A lot contain tragedy tags but are still definitely... more>> worth the read as I feel like they really do portray love other than the usual fluff. <<less

Compiled a list of favorite completed novels, particularly romance with a few exceptions.

All these are either novels that I've finished reading already or currently reading so guaranteed that I know all of em are promising. If you're into independent, strong, and clever women, then this list is for you  ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡° ) ML's here aren't domineering and a**holes too soo... more>>

Another note! Some are unupdated/dropped but I still included them because they're so great and I'm still hoping that someone would pick them up in the future <<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

Last update on 2019-2022

This is my newest list in the beginning of October. I want to separate some novels in my simple stories list and put them here.... more>> This list contains the stories involving prince/princess, noble, knight, etc. Why bother separate them? Because my simple love stories list is getting huge and also I want to keep it more organized. So if you love a story with aristocracy vibe, not in modern era, you come to the right place. <<less

All the novels added are read and are loved! Novels added are in no particular order in terms of rating.... more>>

I like novels that centre around family life especially childcare,adventure, power couples,reincarnations(if done nicely), etc.

Help me add novels. <<less
