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

These are highly popular and highly rated romantic fantasy novels that I have NOT tried yet.  I've been collecting them feverishly, needed to separate the best ones to try, and figured I'd share the goodies!... more>>

I'm heavily biased towards female protagonists (but fine with multiple viewpoints/perspectives) and male love interests.  I also usually dislike harem in general, you *probably* won't see it here.

Whenever I read one, I'll write a very short general opinion. <<less

It seems to be your typical romance novel, but it succeeds to blow your mind with its plots. All types of flavours. 

no domineering, womanizing, experienced MLs here! just a lot of "blushing", "bullying", "teary-eyed", etc etc etc. emotional, devoted, and above all, bottoms

Novels I have finished reading and reviewed. List is just in order the are read. I do have a tendency towards isekai and romance stories... more>> with a fair smattering of smut. I try to be specific and point out what I genuinely like or dislike.  <<less
