The book said, I will take 99 steps towards you and you only need to take the remaining one step. But no need. I will run all one hundred steps and you don't have to do anything, just stand there and wait for me. ... more>>

I guess with age, our taste turns weirder. I no longer dream of the prince charming on a white horse, but rather, I've set my target on the cold and indifferent villain. So here is the list of my favorite, flawed yet amazing MLs. 

This is purely subjective and please follow the list if you have the same weird taste as mine and do tell if you have other recommendations.

 The list contains:

Him/her with his/her unrequited love;

Couples who were separated for a very long time and unsure of the other person's feeling, but stayed true and loyal to his woman;

Or an ML who caused misery/grievance to his woman at first but turned st*pidly sweet after the redemption arc.

With that being said, Im into MLs with emotional issues and social barriers so you may not like them at first. I dont like perfect and very good mannered MLs, I like them flawed!

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem.

Recommended novels not linked to NU. Most are less than 100 chapters including extras.. (titles and synopsis in the comment section, mtl'ed but decipherable) <<less

If you don't have a home, then I'll give you a home. If you don't have any relatives, then I'll give you plenty of children. We'll have lots of kids and when they grow up and have family of their own, we'll have even more children. That way, you'll have a big family and plenty of loved ones.... more>>

Novels wherein I fell inlove with the FLs.

These FLs are (somewhat) decisive, stay true to their character, and have backbones all throughout or gained one after twists and turns.

You will see a lot of Jiu Yue Xi works. Damn, I love all of her female lead characters and of course, the novels itself.

There are recommended MTL'ed novels in the comment section.

Please do tell if you have recommendations. <<less

"Fate is really wonderful, it never waits for anyone. If you had turned back, maybe we would have started something; but if you missed an intersecting road, we would have drifted away."... more>>

Second chances/lovers reunited is my chocolate. 

They said, "love is sweeter the second time around". And I agree (just in novels tho). I love how they change/correct each mistake and better themselves for him/her so this time, the happy ending they dreamed of will come true.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste and do tell if you have other recommendations.

She said we are good friends, so I resisted the desire to hold her hand. But when she raised her head and looked at me with bright round eyes, I felt that my heart was no longer beating.... more>>

Childhood friends to lovers is definitely the sweetest trope. And I'm also curious. How does it feel to grow up and see a handsome face almost everyday?

Please follow the list if you like the novels listed and do tell if you have recommendations.

I like how they take the risk, follow their heart and confess. How the relationship change from friends-ambiguous relationship-lovers.

You don't have to humble anyone, and you don't have to think that this chance is a pie dropped by the heaven. This is the glory that originally belonged to you, but now, it is back in your hands.... more>>

MLs regarded as geniuses in their respective fields.

Secret love. For some people, it is war and chaos; for others, it is a warm spring with flowers blooming.... more>>

list of novels with either MLs/FLs having a onesided love who were given a second chance by meeting again after a few years or through rebirth.

MLs with unrequited love is what I preferred. Esp when they do have cold and indifferent demeanor yet they become patient and considerate with anything that has to do with her.
 

If it's meant to be, then its meant to be. Afterall, none can steal the love one is born to find.

50s,60s,70s,80s,90,00,10s, that vintage nostalgic setting especially people reincarnating/transmigrating/rebirth. For the 10s...flip phones etc only if they have that retro setting feel. I'm excluding some harem... more>> novels, <<less

If it was you, when you met him, he who can’t speak or hear a sound nor walk, would you still be like the heroine and accept him like she does?... more>>

Novels with FLs/MLs that are physically disabled and/or have psychological issues.

Please do tell of you have other recommendations.

Novels not linked to NU are also listed in the comments section, I MTL'ed tho. <<less

I'm a very picky reader who often skimmed through many chapters and sometimes wouldn't even read til the end, unless imo the novel is really, really that good. And this is my list of the best BxG romance with female protagonist and more than 4 ⭐ ratings.... more>>

Do please take note though, most of these novels are still being translated into English so I usually finished 'em by MTL. <<less

This is just based on my taste. Lol There might be something related to system, ancient, modern, world-hopping, transmigration, and the likes. ... more>>

This is in no particular order. I’ve been reading for years now so I cannot remember all. But if it’s in here, it’s remarkable to me.

I MTL-ed some of these. I’ll also update it once I encounter new good novels or remember some. Lo

20201201 - I’ll comment those novels I found and MTL-ed. Lol hopefully those will get translated.

Enjoy reading! <<less

1st List^^ -- Stories that are interesting, with nice plot, writing and translation.. Some are fully translated, and some are still work in progress-- Have... more>> fun reading~ <<less

I adore MLs who are a bit wrong in the head and crazy obsessed with the MC. They can be insane in general or insane for the MC, but more on the latter! They may or may not be manipulative in general or towards the MC. ... more>>

List contains both BG (MC is female x ML) or BL.Many of these have a period where ML was separated from the MC hehe. 

However note that the obsession and/or insanity of the MLs here are palatable. I'm a bit queasy with immoral/actually evil MCs and MLs and I tend to dislike them and the book even tho I know it's just fiction. So yeah, despite these guys being unhinged, they're not really evil and they won't abuse the MC.  <<less

angsty ml whos this close to being blackened, always obsessively wondering if mc will abandon him, easily insecure and jealous, wondering what his worth is to mc. mc in a 'higher' position than ml or has power over him: bonus points if status-wise/physically, but usually mentally. mc is likely the only one who's ever treated ml well. ... more>>

obsessiveness meter and personal rating have nothing to do with each other. will not include novels i didnt like.
! only forced imprisonment will get a 10 on the obsessiveness meter <<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

modern day but the mc is still in school or college, female mc and some romance
