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

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!

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

What can I say, Im a sucker for gentle/sweet MLs. No assault, he is never particularly cold to her, and double points if people around... more>> them are not always acting like she could never deserve the ML. I like my romance like I like my tea: sugary sweet and comforting. No toxicness, no "hes rude and an as*hole to everyone but her", and absolutely no toxic masculinity in this list! I have a soft spot for gentle ML and strong FL ngl, so this list may lean towards that. Strong MCs with a loving supporting partner for the win! This list is in no particular order, just added when I remember! <<less

female fighting wars 

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

Sweet cinnamon roll MLs and FLs whom you’ll want to hug.... more>>

BL at the end of the list <<less

I am really sick of ml who are dominant and cold faced. Even if the fl is strong, the ml will always be step ahead of her. Sometimes even if the female lead can take care of herself in some situations, the ml will always eager to pamper her and solve her promblems saying that it's his responsibility which sometimes really annoying.... more>>

If there are any other novels like this pls recommend.

Here are some novels where the female lead is dominant and can take care of herself and her man. <<less

Idk what this says about my taste in men, but if you want a strong/caring female lead to rescue her man or are looking for... more>> a devoted ML who’s world revolves around his lover, you’re in the right place  <<less

Cleanse yourself of overbearing CEOs, obsessive yanderes, cold and low EQ snobs, insidious black bellies, mu*derous tyrants, and needy man children, and embrace the beauty... more>> that is the firm but fair, sweet, kind, healing and gentle male leads. On this list we stan men whom are not just excellent boyfriends but excellent men in general. I tried to only include MLs that were sweet and considerate to the FLs all the way through (no midway personality changes, no tsundere tendencies, etc.).  <<less

My favorite cultivation/magic novels. romance usually is pretty late or as a subplot.... more>>

The ones with male MC have no harem.

The ones with female MC are ACTUALLY READABLE.

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>>

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