Novels I've completed reading where FL is brave/self-sufficient and ML is smart/supportive . Both have strong commitment and good communication in their relationship. Both undergoes character and career growth.. ... more>>

There were lot of novels out there that have brave FL and supportive ML but they fell flat for me as characters seems OP and there were really no character and career growth (yep, I'm looking for novels with REALISTIC career narrative).  <<less

No description.

Novels that have made a big impact on me. Novels that I still keep thinking about. Hope you enjoy them!... more>>

Also,  I considered these as gems because of:

Solid plot | Incredible world building | Character growth (MCs and also side characters) | Beautifully written  (rhetorics and narratives)| Touches on morality and complex human emotions <<less

And some ancient men aren't scum.... more>>

No tragedies ( atleast in present timeline),  no scum males, no dodderflower females, no r*pe by ML <<less

I have completed the stories on this list and are very memorable even for a long time.  Huft, really made my standards in finding readings... more>> higher. <<less

This list is dedicated to all the female leads in historical novels which are bold, unpredictable, and never shy away from going against the norm.

These are my favorite novels of all time. I have reread these many times over.... more>>

I get that everyone is entitled to their opinions but I refuse to listen any bad things about these novels!!! <<less
