If some of the books looks unfinished or doesn't have chapters that means I have the books as completed offline.

"So many stories are glorious, so many heroes are victorious. But this story shows the other side that is rarely explored. This story is not happy, it is not light. There is no way to survive it without shedding tears, but in a way, the ending lifts the heavy feeling a little. Therefore, it was totally worth it!"- @Liri... more>>

[One of the review on Mulberry Song]

Liri's words pretty much sums up what I'm trying to accumulate in this list.  <<less

Novels that can be found translated on the Yonder app.... more>>

It's hard to remember what novels are translated, but can only be found
on these s*upid apps. The apps themselves are hard to search also and
sometimes change the name or cover completely. I'm sure I missed some,
if you let me know I'll add them.

Yonder only gives a few chapters free and then you have to buy their coins. Some novels have free daily chapters or other promotions, but usually you have to pay. <<less

sadness and pain

this list contains manhwa adaptions with not just villainess 

No truly tragic endings will be included.  These are melodramatic romances filled with angst, misunderstandings, difficult circumstances, separated because of taboos, etc.  Tons of drama and the MLs often start as tr*sh.  You've been warned.... more>>

I emotionally torture myself and then heal it with the happy ending.  I have ~issues~.  There's no smut (but sometimes naughty).  ...my smut rom list is way better (my heart is a ho).  This list is updated regularly. <<less

2022 Novels Recap... more>>

Its my second anniversary of getting into ropan's novel! I got to know a lot of amazing male lea-, ehm, novels this year. i would like to express my gratitude for booktokki that provide free raw for us, and makes me able to read a lot of finished novels, T.T.  I AM OBSESSED with ropan at this point! as i read it 24/7

For my taste in novel, first of all i only read ropan, bcs i find it hard to find usual romance that doesn't have typical drama cliche and frustation.  I'm not into frustating drama. I'm not into frustating ml/fl. I like cliche. I hate 2nd ml/fl. I prefer to avoid plot on isekai into a BL world. If i'm curious, i depend on the spoiler forum, but i wont read it myself. I wont hurt myself with annoyingly frustating story. I prefer novels with 120s chapter, so i can binge it quickly.

I wish i got to know a lot more ropan next year, and i hope i got something good out of it. 

Happy New year guys! <<less
