>  mostly complete stories
> chapters averaging 100+ only, no patience for bingeing 1000+ chapters
> will probably move comment recs into list ones, just, idk if i'll know it got an entry ngl
> contains dropped reads
> ratings mean... some things, but GtRaSML will always be last because of how long the read more is <<less

This list is full of fluff. No angst, just fluff. Reads that made me smile and giggle all day long to the point of dying from diabetes. LOL. I've finished reading all of these, and are definitely highly recommended! Enjoy :)) PS: This is in no particular order. ... more>>

This is a list of all the novels that I have read with a female protagonist. Most of them have romance. Everything on this list has a happy ending of course. Some are more slice of life and some are very dramatic, but in the end these novels all left a good impression on me.... more>>

Not all the novels on this list are equally good. Some are okay, some are good, some are loved a lot. Nevertheless, I managed to complete them, so that means they're all readable.

For novels that are my absolute favourites which are those that I will reread many times, I will mark them with a "Best-Loved" award.

Some may get a "Honorable Mention" if they don't quite make it to Best-Loved, but they do stand out from the rest.

I will try my best to leave my impression of the novel in the comments. For some novels I will only say it's an enjoyable read which means for some reason or another they don't make the Best-Loved or Honorable Mentions list.

Acronyms I use often include FL aka female lead (also MC aka main character) and ML aka male lead. <<less

Novels which have been deemed to be excellent in some regard, irrespective of genres and themes. While not exhaustive in any way, this list will be periodically updated as I read more. Note that erot*c content might also be included. To better understand why I chose certain series, check out my reviews!... more>>

Note: I am biased towards reading more CN, and I have stopped reading any novel related to QI since the controversy with WW. Thus, you might find this list to be particularly biased, so take it with a pinch of salt. The order/numbering is not indicative of anything. <<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

that feeling when you're so into as novel and then the translators drop it ... more>>

or the feeling of being left on a cliffhanger but having no where to even 

these are completed - that means no waiting, no pain yay 

lots are one shots but there's so really good long ones in there as well e.g Ascending do not disturb  <<less

These are all the Romances that come highly recommended and have been on my radar. Ended up being quite an eclectic mix though. Enjoy!... more>>

Note: Obviously this list will frequently change. The novels are later either moved to my "New Favorite Historical Romance of 2022" list or my "Put on ice" list.

Latest moves:

      - New Favorite HR: Who cares?; The Imperial guard’s revenge; Royal Road; Villainess won’t let the main lead break up

      - Novels Put on ice:  <<less

Enjoyable/light (may include tragic) reads below 100 chapters... more>>
