I've ranked these based on the ones I've enjoyed the most considering the plot and possessiveness of the male lead by a 2:1 ratio ~

Only straight romances 

(I have another list only for BL)

what I've written are my honest opinions and pls feel free to reccomend more or to ask any questions ~♡ <<less

Books I read using MTL. Some novels I read long time ago so It might not be a completely accurate rating. Bottom of list are books I plan to MTL, Will update and move most recent commentaries / reviews to top. Beware there might be some spoilers if you read my commentary.
Rating Readability using MTL based on my opinion : 
Highest 5 Stars = Very Easy to Read ☆☆☆☆☆
Lowest 1 Star = Very Difficult to Decipher ☆... more>>

Generally Historical novels are harder to decipher than novels in Modern setting so I tend to gravitate and read more modern day novels.  <<less

MC who study for better future or change her fate after had a system or being reborn/transmigrated. Simply just a story about MC being OP in academic fields, etc.... more>>

Keyword: 学习

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.

You can find more recommendation in comment or recommend me more story like the criteria! <3 <<less

1st List^^ -- Stories that are interesting, with nice plot, writing and translation.. Some are fully translated, and some are still work in progress-- Have... more>> fun reading~ <<less

modern day but the mc is still in school or college, female mc and some romance 

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!

These novels will make you believe in yourself as our leads are independent and powerful. So, Be CONFIDENT!... more>>

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!}

And here I'll try to add all the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful which couldn't fit on the previous lists. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include korean, chinese, japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o  <<less

By "good romantic story", at minimum: no bs that isn't justified or explained, or is overly done; romance is not offensive, neither lead being an as*hole to each other; romance that isn't overly dry or has too much drama; leads may be either slightly stereotypes or codependent but at least it's cute and they are not 2d but the sides may be a little; chemistry is good and story plot is mediocre or vice versa... more>>

At best: independent badass leads where the romance is a build up of them doing their own thing and getting to know each other; solid world building; 3d characters all around; fluff that makes you happy and not bored to read; there is actually good plot; there is life beyond romance but the romance makes it nice to read too

Pt 1 is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16574/

Pt 3 (slowly updating):

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/66164/

Filled with orange. Some are sour and some are sweet. Lol what's with the description, just forget it, have fun reading my recommendations.

I... more>> love humorous stories, so you will notice that is a theme. I also like mu*der mysteries, transmigration, some otome/villainess, and gaming themes that incorporate romance. I left comments on a few directly relating them to others. Note that some of these stories start out fairly serious and do not become fluffy or comedic till much later in the reading. Feel free to comment any recommendations you may have for me after seeing my preferences! It is greatly appreciated. During my free time, I’ll add scores between 1-5 on how worthwhile they are to read. 1) Only read if you’re bored to absolute tears; 2) it’s an okay read, some dissatisfying parts, not a priority at all; 3) Not particularly bad or good, just something to pass the time when you have a long trip (it won’t feel like an absolute waste of time or make you feel particularly dissatisfied after reading); 4) Good read that you should read; 5) Excellent/MUST read. If the score contains a .5, then it could go in either direction of the whole numbers it’s closest to. Keep in mind, none of the novels listed here are awful. Some are definitely better than others, but all of them have their own merits.  <<less

Mostly are transmigration/reincarnation stories With about 125 chapters

Honestly just a cluster of different stories that fall under this title that I enjoyed. I love humorous stories, so you will notice that is a theme. I also like mu*der mysteries, transmigration, some otome/villainess, and gaming genres. This is my first list, so it is fairly unorganized but I left comments on a few directly relating them to others. Note that some of these stories start out fairly serious and do not become fluffy or comedic till much later in the reading. Feel free to comment any recommendations you may have for me after seeing my preferences! It is greatly appreciated.
