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

It's just as the name says. Always open for recommendations! The Rating is based on the Female Lead. Check out my other lists here!... more>>

Novels that I've read and loved. Some of them aren't completed yet but I've kept them here so I can keep up with the updates.

“Before You Embark On A Journey Of Revenge, Dig Two Graves” — Confucius... more>>

"In the road of revenge, no one could turn around. It did not mean that if there was kindness in the past, there would be a reason to why mistakes could be made in the future. The wicked were never worthy of any mercy and the winners would always speak the last words to the losers before their heads fell."

No love rivals, s*upid misunderstandings, or cheating (aka ML being w/ anyone other then FL). If you guys have any recommendations, please leave me a comment. I'm always on the lookout for a good book! <<less

Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/64452/... more>>

Most of the novels I read have complete proper translations so if the red completed tag isn't there, that means there is a quality translation somewhere on the internet, it just isn't linked here in NU for REASONS. 

So just search it up because I'm too lazy to edit every novel description QAQ (maybe I will still eventually do that in the future tho). 

I will also try my best to indicate those I MTLed, but they should all be with many chapters released already (maybe some are even completed now bcs a few of these I read a long time ago), I just google translated the last 15 chapters or so. 

Hope I help some of you find good novels to read. In alphabetical order for now, will sort later~ <<less

[WARNING!!!] Age gaps in the list are at least five years and above.

Haven't read most of them yet, so no comment. Copied over to free up my reading list~ <<less

novels with 4.4 and above WOW I NEVER EXPECTED THIS TO BLOW UP SHI-

No-nonsense, no bullsh*t romance. 1v1. Strictly no third party (with the exception of past relationship(s)).

Note: Romance may not necessarily be the main focus of some novels in this list. Excerpts are included below. <<less

a compilation of all the BG novels 4.3+ stars that i've read at least 75% through + on going ones ! i'll put in my thoughts later on !... more>>

I like a mixed bag of tropes, so i hope you find a solid novel to read from here ! i usually cap my novel searches at 4.3stars+, but i've definitely wandered around A LOT, check out my other BG liats as well as lists for BLs (that i'm currently re-sorting hehe !!) <<less

Female leads of all kinds, all badass in their own ways (ongoing novels first, completed novels at the end)

This list resumes the chinese novels I have liked so far. Many may not be here for two reasons: a. I haven't read it; b. I really haven't liked it. ... more>>

Be aware, if the novel isn't tr*sh, it takes a lot for me not to like a Chinese Historical Novel. Btw, you might find one or two unusual participants in this list but it is probably because I have enjoyed the novels or many elements in it.

I accept recommendations, so please leave some comments!! I will keep updating every week! <<less

Fourth list of novels I have read. Most of these are Chinese novels. I think all of them are translated even if it doesn't say... more>> so. There are all types of genres so I recommend reading the tags in case it's not your cup of tea :) <<less

Gradual development of chemistry between MC and ML. Not rushed, no bland characters. Sweet, fluff and interesting. NO LOVE TRIANGLES. Like really fed up of plots were FL catches attention of ML and without rhyme or reason he is attracted to FL INSTANTLY.... more>>

 Basically typical rebirth/transmigrated  type of protagonist betrayed by her lover and stepped upon by her half sisters seeking out for revenge and catching the attention of 7th or 9th cold aloof general like prince are filtered out from this list. Like the thing is 'revenge' is more in light than romance part which is rather bland. <<less

My master list of novels I fell in love with. Most of them are set in the ancient times; include LNs, Korean, China and Japanese... more>> novels; include transmigration, rebirth, revenge, sweet romance, funny, bittersweet but thoroughly enjoyable. All novels already read, some are completed while others are ongoing. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did! <<less

Part 2, it’s a continuation of my previous list. Link: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8369/ ... more>>

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. 

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

All transmigration, rebirth, reincarnation stories that I read despite dubious reviews, and loved to bits! All based in ancient china times!... more>>

Enjoy! <<less

COMPLETED
HAPPILY EVER AFTER ROMANCE stories for those who want to sit down and have a good read without any annoying breaks and then feel... more>> that feeling of satisfaction in the end. No tragedies, only good grammar and fun. Stories added regularly. All long type novels with maybe the odd one shot if it's especially good. The kind of stories that make butterflies erupt in your tummy and make your heart do gymnastics and when you're done reading them, you find yourself sitting there and wishing that the story would come true for you. <<less
