I love novels with exciting action and a survivalist story especially ones with female leads! That's what this list is. It's ordered from most to least liked novel (I rated them too) and at the end are novels I've yet to read.... more>>

----

~P.S. Worm is a webnovel that features a dark story centering a girl with certain powers and her dangerous adventures. It's not on NU (cause it's not a translated novel), but you can find it on parahuman's website 

Also, Survive Romance and 7 seeds are good survival manga <<less

✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived  my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.... more>>

PS: The others novels I liked, but not enough to be featured here, are in my yearly "New Favorite Historical Romances" lists. <<less

If you are into sweet, funny and fluffy modern/Ancient Chinese novel with transmigration mc. I recommended you this new novel that mc transmigration into book... more>> as villianess, supporting character, cannon fodder or villain's mother. <<less

Bl, bg, and no romance.  Genre’s pretty diverse.  I consider all of these top tier yummy food with good plot and fleshed out characters.  Not... more>> all of these are complete but some are good enough for me erode my brain and mlt.  Hope u all find smth u like.  (List incomplete) <<less

These are the novels I've given a try in 2021. I've also only been MTLing for like a couple of weeks so I've only completed some of them. I am of course going to include novels I've dropped and try to say the reason BUT, I have an awful memory so I don't even remember what I read last week, so some reviews might not be too accurate. Also my opinion is sh*t, don't trust me bc I get influenced by emotions, but if I rave about it it shouldn't be too bad, if I dropped it then... that's usually my fault.... more>>

I reached the list's limit so I'm not including certain unremarkable stories... I don't wanna do another list though, I guess I'll just have to stop reading this year. If push comes to shove I'll just replace the novels that I haven't read much of and didn't like.

Also yes..... this is what I read in > 4 months, I need a life and stop reading so much but this was a boring semester and reading was far more interesting than certain classes and just as useful (not useful). I hate myself omg guys don't do this! The way I don't even remember the names of these characters hftguyihio.

This is 96% CN, 3% JP, 1% KR.

ALSO STAN LOONA <<less

Some of my best picks of this category. Each one of these novels are absolute powerhouses in their own right.... more>>

I don't necessarily judge by the strength of the main character but it just so happens that things usually only progress when the mc actually has the capability to do something (and isn't being an idiot all the time).

Preferences (relevant cos not everyone has the same criteria for a good novel with a female mc)

- physically strong mc & strong mentality/fortitude

- comedy/ not always serious/ author is able to understand how absurd the mc's situation is sometimes

- no sexism or unreasonable prejudices

- no filler (unless it's to build background or comedic relief)

- no family drama (as in no neglectful fathers, evil stepmothers, sisters or other unholy b*tches that go on for 200ch that you see too often in chinese period novels)

- great pacing

- enjoyable <<less

Stories based in or around the apocalypse, making to keep track of them most of them have a romance element, mostly CN, excluding most harem and shounen type novels... more>>

The comments like 'dropped'or 'pass' are some of my reading list notes so I could search apocalypse tag excluding everything I put in this list by labelling these as my 'apocalypse reading list' <<less

here are some c-novels that i read till the end, kinda grouped the list by troupe

main character gathers large amount of food in preparation for a food shortage of some-sorts. mostly bg or bl, recomendations are welcome.

Mixed bag. Basically transmigration and rebirth novels who have a better life (somewhat) for the second time, whether through revenge or just living a peaceful life while falling in love. ... more>>

Not only “Transmigrated into novels” type of story , but also stories who in their past life seems like they were a villain or cannon fodder who died unjustly. <<less

Absolute faves, wouldn't mind reading them again, for the third time.

We all know that some novels when MTL'ed can kill a few of your brain cells,  but here are some that I'll willingly sacrifice them... more>> for.   <<less

Created this list to keep track of my favorite completed novels that I've read.  Some of these I like a lot more than others, but I'm too lazy to split them into multiple lists.  If anyone else finds it useful, then that's an added bonus :) - fair warning, a lot of these novels follow similar, if not the same, cliches and tropes, but that's what I like to read. *shrug*... more>>

Also, all have happy endings.  I hate reading a really good novel only to have it ruined with a depressing ending.

Some of these novels are not showing as complete on NU, but are completed elsewhere, so I'm including them.

I'll add notes/comments as I feel like it - some notes are just key points/words to remind me which novel it is.

I'm going to add any other novels I really love, but aren't on NU in the comments for tracking purposes.

BL novels listed separately.

Smut with plot also listed separately now - this is not saying that there is no smut/NSFW in the novels on this list, just moved any novels where smut seemed to be the main focus.

Also moved some to a new list for novels that I did enjoy reading, but probably won't read again (just to keep track of what I've read without adding to this list).  So I guess "favorite" = "worth rereading"

Just started Part 2 of this list - may sort them by genre or something later: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87122/?ft=yes <<less

Will definitely make you prefer 2D men. Forever.

Just see the tags.. Only add Complete novel (translated or MTL), and no BL/GL. There still some novel in my bookmarks chrome that yet i move here..... more>>

Oh, i can't add anymore (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠)  i already make the sec list \⁠(⁠ϋ⁠)⁠/ <<less

A list for whenever I get tired of ever so gentle, proper and harmless FLs.

Novels I finished either on nu, another site, or mtl.  Most of these are absolute gems that I would reread 100x over ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

Transmigrated to novel theme and Rebirth, worth to read just on my opinion. Not particularly addictive that you want to re-read multiple time just worth... more>> to fill your free time. <<less

I would like to point out these novels may not necessarily be rainbows and butterflies type of romance as there are some tragedy plots but... more>> they still are great reads <<less

Mostly Female Lead!... more>>

I look forward to other suggestions/recommendations! <<less

Some of my "must read" apocalypse/survival novels!... more>>

Note: Mostly female leads novels.
