A list of all the new shining stars of the genre.... more>>

PS: I'm an avid reader of HR novels but my initial list of favorites was getting too long so I simply divided it in 2. There's one list for the well-known classics & one for the upcoming shakers.  This here is obviously the latter. On that note, happy reading :)

Rating:   ❤️❤️❤️ To-die-for             ❤️❤️ Greatly entertaining                     ❤️ Enjoyable 

For more, my all times "Best historical novels" list is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/19039/ <<less

There are revenge and face slapping novels as well as slice of life novels and all kinds so go through these and find your types.... more>>

Novels with strong female leads , funny female leads etc etc.

Some female leads are op[overpowered] okay but I like them too there is nothing wrong with them being op because the novels are really good to read.
Some are strong from the beginning. some of them have character growth from being weak to strong and here strong doesn't necessarily mean physical strength its also their mental strength I am talking about.

Some female leads might be a little bit rude  but those books are entertaining and well done for a one time read And also for once I can read jerk female lead instead of a jerk male lead alright.

If anyone want me to add some books to this category please comment below will add it (✿◡‿◡)(✿◡‿◡)q(≧▽≦q)q(≧▽≦q). <<less

Good storylines, no idiotic leads, enjoyable characters, logical progressions, good writing, cute romance - this is my ultimate list. The I'm done with bs characters and stories list. ... more>>

I read a lot of historical romance so I'm a bit fussy, well-written leads (who have chemistry) and a decent plot are a must!  Also, cliche tropes are fun once in a while but I prefer things that are a bit more unique.... more>>

This is the continuation of "STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS I"... more>>

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. 

The novels you're gonna be seeing here is still the same, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

I have reached the limit yet again folks... so I guess time for rec list no.3...? let's gooooo

Cleanse yourself of overbearing CEOs, obsessive yanderes, cold and low EQ snobs, insidious black bellies, mu*derous tyrants, and needy man children, and embrace the beauty... more>> that is the firm but fair, sweet, kind, healing and gentle male leads. On this list we stan men whom are not just excellent boyfriends but excellent men in general. I tried to only include MLs that were sweet and considerate to the FLs all the way through (no midway personality changes, no tsundere tendencies, etc.).  <<less

Mature Love doesn't mean r-18.... more>>

Mature Love meaning both leads have a fulfilling romantic relationship as adults.

Novel revolve around both leads romance life.

I have read all and completed it and i rate all around 4.5-5

Usually around 50-150 chapters 

They're all good. Proof: I MTLed 90% on the list <<less

Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/64452/... more>>

Most of the novels I read have complete proper translations so if the red completed tag isn't there, that means there is a quality translation somewhere on the internet, it just isn't linked here in NU for REASONS. 

So just search it up because I'm too lazy to edit every novel description QAQ (maybe I will still eventually do that in the future tho). 

I will also try my best to indicate those I MTLed, but they should all be with many chapters released already (maybe some are even completed now bcs a few of these I read a long time ago), I just google translated the last 15 chapters or so. 

Hope I help some of you find good novels to read. In alphabetical order for now, will sort later~ <<less

PS: I put a message about which novel I have read yet. <<less

My Favorite Chinese Historical  Novels >.< This list consists of both BL and Straight novels with a rating above 4.0~... more>>

Note: Recently, some of the translation teams have taken their works down (dead links on the content section)  from NU (because NU has grown a lot) however most of them if not all have their own sites and the novels are still available there! So if you search the novels online you can still find them! ;)

P.S. There is also a part 2 with more novels and hidden gems for everyone to read! If interested the second list can be found on my account :)  <<less
