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

my own recs, mostly romance

Just some story I read over the years. I don't read much and I mostly read JP

Some novels from my favorite author and ones which are similar to the same genre.

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

Ranking means how much I like the novel. No question needed, Sugaru Miaki is that one top author in this list.

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?
