All these series in my reading list are WNs/LNs that are masterpieces. I have personally read most of them and their quality can be guaranteed. Most of the series I recommend are fully translated/ have decent amount of chapters translated. The novel are ranked in no particular order; all these series are masterpieces of their own right, it is unfair to rank them by how good they are. ... more>>

2022 Novels Recap... more>>

Its my second anniversary of getting into ropan's novel! I got to know a lot of amazing male lea-, ehm, novels this year. i would like to express my gratitude for booktokki that provide free raw for us, and makes me able to read a lot of finished novels, T.T.  I AM OBSESSED with ropan at this point! as i read it 24/7

For my taste in novel, first of all i only read ropan, bcs i find it hard to find usual romance that doesn't have typical drama cliche and frustation.  I'm not into frustating drama. I'm not into frustating ml/fl. I like cliche. I hate 2nd ml/fl. I prefer to avoid plot on isekai into a BL world. If i'm curious, i depend on the spoiler forum, but i wont read it myself. I wont hurt myself with annoyingly frustating story. I prefer novels with 120s chapter, so i can binge it quickly.

I wish i got to know a lot more ropan next year, and i hope i got something good out of it. 

Happy New year guys! <<less

If you're trying to find novels which will help you to deal with anxiety and pressure, make you deal with your inferiority complex and boost your confidence level, you're at the right place!

Because the first and 2nd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 3rd list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on the 1st and 2nd list will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing the 1st and 2nd list, Go See that 1st!}

Where the FL has talent(s) or skill(s) that sets them apart from the others, and was built through experience, not shortcuts. This list also includes the ones I haven't read so some wrong ones might be included.... more>>

In the description, "talented" means the FL has natural talent in it and can cultivate the skill quickly. "good at" means FL achieved the skill mainly through through long training period, even when the FL does have talent in it. Excludes Quick Transmigration stories as those are technically cheating ~_~"

Not in any particular order. All Japanese, because I haven't yet looked into Chinese or Korean stuff. One foreign culture at a time.  Many genres, ranging from profound to banal, from cute and fluffy to full-on chuuni.

List created in May 2024, probably won't bother to remove titles if and when they're licensed. Also, not comprehensive or definitive. <<less
