There are so many amazing works that feature regressed MCs that are going through a second chance in management, corporate ladders, sports, cooking, etc. Definitely stronger list than the second chance in fantasy. Wanted to make a list that specifically targets this genre.... more>>

First, some of the best that aren't on NU:
1. Trailer tr*sh - wonderful depiction of a second chance high school life with strongly developed characters
2. Metaworld chronicles - only barely qualifies because it's really a fantasy world, but it's an alternate modern day Earth, with great detail and development of cultures and places and set in a modern society, if magic based
3. Let me make you a star - [have not yet read] but has good ratings, comment if you've had a chance to read it!

In addition, there are a number of great drama/TV shows (JP, CN and KR) of second chances that I highly recommend if you like this genre. I've added them in a comment below the list.

If you enjoy second chances, you can also try my other lists on:
- Second chances in fantasy (https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10749/)
- Time loops (includes movies and webnovels not on NU - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/) <<less

if your bored read this list, it will entertain you trust... more>>

PS: Mount Tai

if you guys have anything to say, feel free to say it in the comments. This list is more inclined toward romance but it does have some books that are Action only or MC only and have no romance.

There is no order, almost all if not all books are pretty good to most people

this list does include BL but it's only like once or twice! <<less

Mostly completed novels because cliffhanger in angst wont ever let me live my life in peace... more>>

Tw: Many of these novels may contain mention of self harm, depression, bullying, abuse, r*pe and su*cide. So, please please read reviews and tags properly before picking up a novel.  <<less

LN/WN that I enjoyed reading.

I love me some possessive, obsessive ML. Ooops, hit my 100 limit again. Separated BL and BG possessive lists. ... more>>

New BL list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8543/?ft=yes <<less

The fluffy romance that gives you butterflies! Easy to digest, simple, and short. But not plotless. Some are deep, some are a bit complicated (but... more>> not in a soap opera kind of way, more like crime cases, psychological and gore, but still high on romance). Modern troupe. Can be transmigrated, rebirth, or just normal. <<less

Mostly include one volume novels. And with a lot of crying and tragedys. Not specific order (my favorite is toaru tho). I will add some more after I advanced with my pending list (if they are worth it). ... more>>

Please comment some recommendations, I will appreciate it.  <<less

just sum stuff that i like

GENRES: either Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Psychological, Tragedy... more>>

A compilation of my favorites that give the melancholic and/or dark vibe in alphabetical order. No worries it becomes wholesome in the end—well, most of them do, anyway. Maybe. Who knows?
*will update when I find and read new interesting ones <<less

the title. It's literally all romance because I can't stomach reading anything else. There are various kinds of romance here, so if you're just looking for fluff/sugar go look at my other list. This is just what I enjoy the most. (todo im updating other list rn). ... more>>

edit: in hindsight there may be a few things that aren't romance but it's pretty much all romance don't worry about it <<less

MC/ML either chase either, with no overly dramatic cliche hampering you down, and just fluffly everyday fluff for you to enjoy and cry why you're (me) single. ... more>>

*** NOTE: Will add Otonari when it's actually finished instead of author c*cksucking the f*ck out of it

EDIT: My apologies for adding Hard to Deceive without completing the series first. It will now  be removed because of certain reason.  <<less

Properly written novels of good quality (IMO), no harems/mary sues/wish-fulfillment stories/etc. Some of them I liked more, some less, but they were all worth reading. Completed or... more>> cancelled novels, for the most part. <<less

Personal recommendations for books of equivalent or similar genre!!~~~
