mostly powerful fmc and/or near death experiences with intrigue 

Hello you! I'm still here, and with some more recommendations. Happy reading!

No description.

NOT RANKED BY NUMBER. Lots of diversity in the novels. Different kinds like zombie apocalypse, horror, or light-hearted reads like comedy and romance. They all have their own quirks and differences, but one thing that they all have in common is that they are strong in their own way, and they are all female leads. Mentally, physically, talent-wise, etcetera. Some have romance and some don't.  If that's your cup of tea, go right ahead! I don't put bad novels on this list. So read them all. 3/5+ stars only!... more>>

Female MCs I’ve enjoyed reading without too much focus on romance. If it’s not completed on here, I either read the MTL or the translation’s... more>> online somewhere, both of which tells you how much I liked it. Please recommend anything that’s been finished translation wise, thanks! Genres span a lot, but MC has goals outside of romance or is a baddie. <<less

Some may or may not have romance! Also there’s going to be a mix of quick transmigration, modern, cultivation, etc

My WTR and CR from Nov 2023 to 2024.... more>>

I've reviewed all the novels' reviews. So basically, all the novels here passed my very own "Screening Standards" (no sad ending, romance always part of the story, mostly Female Protagonist, a little bit to almost none bloodbath, etc). 

A must read for myself! <<less

My absolute favorite genre. Hopefully, some of my other faves get translated soon so I can link them here as well!

I haven't read them all yet but I've picked the unlimited flow BGs novels I know and put them here because it's really hard to... more>> find unlimited flow/Straight Couple Survival Game.  So hard !  This genre here at novelupdates is saturated and almost dominated by Bl.  I only find more BGs of this genre in the original language, which are really good and should be translated more. <<less

The novels I'm done reading; 2021 and before. 

For recommending female protagonists that don't immediately lower their IQ and EQ when a (ML) man enters the picture. Strong is also used somewhat lightly. This recommendation list will be more geared towards female leads who's actions/words are pivotal in the story. Due to the landscape of light novels with female protagonists, this list will not be completely romance free, but stories recommended will either be slow romance or the story itself will not pivot around the male lead's actions/story.... more>>

Order added as I recall them. Some I haven't read in a while so my thoughts aren't necessarily accurate. If you have a recommendation, please leave a comment of what I should try out! <<less

Everything I have read, I added to this list. BG? BL? No Romance? It's all here.... more>>

(Not in any order and mostly CN) <<less

Because I really, really like those scenes

Again in these stories, while there's romance, it isn't focused on it. Of course, they will still end up with their male leads.

List of novels with ratings > 4.0, some that I haven't read yet but looks really interesting

Don't mind the # (rank), because you'll find a 4~5 stars novel even at > #50

Perhaps the short commentary I wrote in this list may interest you to read some of these stories. These novels really do have my heart... more>> and I hope they bring joy to yours too if you do :)). <<less
