For personal reference/rereading. Mostly plot focus & serious favs, with solid writing/characterisations/overarching plot. Any pairings (mostly bl/het), but not many harem/stallion novels. Mostly CN/KR novels for dialogue. Roughly sorted, many genres, no/low spoilers.... more>>

I prefer wuxia over xianxia, tragedy over fluff, etc. Some less serious/non-plot-focused novels included/marked for their definitive traits.
Personal genre/trait favs: comedy, tragedy, historical, mystery, psychological, scifi, realistic, mature, bittersweet, wuxia, delinquents, strategies/war, empire building, betrayal, food.   <<less

a lot of the novels i've finished reading have good start, good execution, but abrupt or outright tasteless ending. Luckily, some still have decent, (or at least semi decent ) endings.... more>>

Novels in this list will meet at least one of these two main criteria

- most of the loose ends are tied, either before or after the final event/fight

- at least one full chapter of epilogue/aftermath

Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng... etc, all great. <<less

Legit wuxia (the only wuxia series translated) with some semblance of martial arts, not cultivation and alchemy. These are not level up, face-slapping or MC... more>> d*ck polishing. You want chivalry? Schemes? Minimal "boom, bang, crash" sequences for combat and actual combat descriptions? I have you covered. The main themes are brotherhood, family, history, conspiracy, solving mysteries, romance and chivalry <<less

Once read, novels will remain on the list with a rating and a short review.
