WARNING! The review may contained a spoiler. Rank in order. If you see a story with no review, it means I'm not finish reading that story but I can see their potential as "study for better future" theme.

These are the novels I've given a try in 2021. I've also only been MTLing for like a couple of weeks so I've only completed some of them. I am of course going to include novels I've dropped and try to say the reason BUT, I have an awful memory so I don't even remember what I read last week, so some reviews might not be too accurate. Also my opinion is sh*t, don't trust me bc I get influenced by emotions, but if I rave about it it shouldn't be too bad, if I dropped it then... that's usually my fault.... more>>

I reached the list's limit so I'm not including certain unremarkable stories... I don't wanna do another list though, I guess I'll just have to stop reading this year. If push comes to shove I'll just replace the novels that I haven't read much of and didn't like.

Also yes..... this is what I read in > 4 months, I need a life and stop reading so much but this was a boring semester and reading was far more interesting than certain classes and just as useful (not useful). I hate myself omg guys don't do this! The way I don't even remember the names of these characters hftguyihio.

This is 96% CN, 3% JP, 1% KR.

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. ... more>>

The novels you're gonna be seeing here are of course, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters spent 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.

Found out there's a limit on how much you could add on the list so... I'm gonna be making a Recommendation list no. 2!

books i've finished reading~ _(:3 」∠)_

This list includes those FL that have calm & collected or cold & strong personalities (or both). ... more>>

They know how to deal with people and situations. They think before they act and are really straightforward. 

Sometimes it's hard for them to express their feelings that's why we have our ML to dote on them. Some of them have low EQ high IQ, or the way they cultivate feelings is really slow-paced. 

Most FL are OP, and they vary from students, to actresses, CEOs, etc. 

Lots of fluffy romance and face-slapping.  <<less

We all have a guilty pleasure for tr*shy novels (or at least most of us). These are tr*shy novels that are good. There is a difference between tr*shy tr*sh and good tr*sh. Good tr*sh are novels that are cliché, tropey, and brainless with little character development, world building, and littered with Mary Sues and Gary Sues. However despite all their flaws, they still catch your attention and are addicting reads. The genres are varied but I do have a preference towards romance. From what I remember, none of these novels are terribly problematic. Don't think too much when you read these, just read and have fun. So come, come find a brainless read here! I hope... more>> you find a novel you will enjoy! 

*I tried sorting it into order of what I enjoyed the most at first, but then it got harder to rank them, so I gave up (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ*

*Also there is a hierarchy within good tr*shy novels, so some novels are like high quality tr*sh, Michelin star tr*sh.* <<less

This list contains my romance novels on my reading lists.
I have separate lists for novels that take place between 50s-90s, switched at birth stories, cultivation novels (xianxia / xuanhuan).  So most of these novels are not included in this list.... more>>

Descriptions may contain spoilers. They help me remember the contents of the novel.
