I love novels with exciting action and a survivalist story especially ones with female leads! That's what this list is. It's ordered from most to least liked novel (I rated them too) and at the end are novels I've yet to read.... more>>

~P.S. Worm is a webnovel that features a dark story centering a girl with certain powers and her dangerous adventures. It's not on NU (cause it's not a translated novel), but you can find it on parahuman's website 

Also, Survive Romance and 7 seeds are good survival manga <<less

✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived  my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.... more>>

Not a Ranking List. ... more>>

Just novels that I found interesting.

Mostly tragedy, but not limited to that. I like a tragedy for a good cry, not for a distressed cry. So mostly these novels aren't full of abuse just to make you cry. You will cry because you feel for the characters. 

There are fluffs and diabetes here, but like I said, mostly tragedy. 

Please read the Genre and Tags of the novel before plunging yourself into this hellhole. 

My tendencies are to seek novels in which: the CP Happy Ending is when they are together <in death>, the CP Happy Ending is when they are together <in life>, the CP is supportive of each other, or the CP building is interesting.

Have a good cry reading these novels! <<less

Thank you to everyone who made my first list such a hit IMO :') A continuation of all the well-written CN novels I've read and grew fond of!  No order in terms of quality~ ... more>>

Lady leads who don't take sh*t from no one. They qualify for this list if they are independent, practical, no-nonsense, and preferably if they enjoy pushing down shy boys. My waist hurts just reading about simpering weak FLs.... more>>

List is roughly sorted according to badassery. <<less

Stories in which female protagonists and others are hopefully not one-dimensional i.e. just ruthless, just silly, high-IQ/low-EQ. Side characters (mostly) have lives outside of the protagonist and/or male lead. Villains aren’t downright TSTL. ... more>>

Last three newly added: #9 | Don’t Touch Porcelain, #22 | Unconscious, #14 | I Am Average and Unremarkable

A huge thank you to all the translators who translated these gems and gave me the opportunity to enjoy them <<less

NOT RANKED BY NUMBER. Lots of diversity in the novels. Different kinds like zombie apocalypse, horror, or light-hearted reads like comedy and romance. They all have their own quirks and differences, but one thing that they all have in common is that they are strong in their own way, and they are all female leads. Mentally, physically, talent-wise, etcetera. Some have romance and some don't.  If that's your cup of tea, go right ahead! I don't put bad novels on this list. So read them all. 3/5+ stars only!... more>>
