Gems and treasures found in Novelupdates!! Stories that you'll never be forgotten. Like a sculpture, carve by the authors amazing minds.

If you're like me who can't resist temptation of good novels in price of killing sleep, then you're in the right place! These novels are the one which I read by killing my sleep. These are source of great imaginations and entertainment as these leads are very independent and strong. So, let's enjoy these together.... more>>

Because the 1st, 2nd & 3rd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 4th list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on those lists will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing them first, Go See that 1st!}

And here I'll try to add all the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful which couldn't fit on the previous lists. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include korean, chinese, japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o   <<less

Here you can find some chinese novels from the 1960s, - 70s, - 80s, -90s and many more!... more>>

Ps: only BxG, no BL or GL <<less

This is the continuation for the lists of Gems I have read so far, that will shake up your mind and emotions. I hope you... more>> will enjoy it, as well as I did.  Thank you and good luck. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ <<less

See my “Fluffy Straight Romance” lists in 3 parts for more in depth reviews and more recommendations. 

Mostly set in ancient China so expect politics, harem, face slapping, honorifics, you know the drill. Added some with a modern set up only if I can’t find anything that interests me as of the moment.... more>>

If completed via MTL, will rate MTL quality from 1-5. <<less

No description.

masterlist of novels that focuses on food, farming & cooking!! ... more>>

mainly korean & chinese novels for now ^^ <<less

a compilation of all the BG novels 4.1 stars and below that i've read at least 75% through + on going ones ! and remember !! just because a novel is rated less than 4.3 doesn't mean it's bad !! ... more>>

hopefully you try and like some of these ones ! honestly, i like a very very mixed bag of tropes, so i rlly hope you find a solid novel to read from here ! i usually cap my novel searches at 4.3stars+, but i've definitely wandered around A LOT, sooo I also have other BG lists AND lists for BLs (that i'm currently re-sorting hehe !!) <<less

My good luck makes me the best marriage partner! So I will just pick up this poor, abandoned husband and raise it, okay?

Time Travel, Transmigration, Isekai, 70's Seventies, 60's Sixties, 50's Fifties, 80'S Eighties, 90's Nineties, Back in Time, Into a Novel, with a System.

I have made a review and rating for every novel I've read on novelupdates. Since they don't have the user friendly capability of sorting a user's read list by rank I made one for myself ordered by best/enjoyed the most to least. The ranking within the same number of stars may not be right because it is usually from different genres, too different to compare with each other haha. All in one spot. The bottom of the list that are my lower rated and unranked/dropped novels, I have moved to  a new list "All Novels I've Read Sorted By Rating (3 Stars & Below + Dropped)" due to a list only having a max of 100. The... more>> other weaker alternative is the Reviews section in my profile but it can only be sorted by likes and date of review not by rank. The reason I want to put my rating and reviews straight in the list is because you can't search for a specific user's review in the novel page if there are too many reviews. You will have to search one by one. Its easier to straight up  see why I put the novel in a particular list plus my review in the list itself. Sigh, novelupdates is really not user friendly.

PS: I've made another list to put all the novels I've read rated 3 Stars and below and all the dropped novels because this list is getting long. In the future, this will be basically my Top 100 list. The others will be from ranked 101 onwards. <<less

Female leads of all kinds, all badass in their own ways (ongoing novels first, completed novels at the end)

This list resumes the chinese novels I have liked so far. Many may not be here for two reasons: a. I haven't read it; b. I really haven't liked it. ... more>>

Be aware, if the novel isn't tr*sh, it takes a lot for me not to like a Chinese Historical Novel. Btw, you might find one or two unusual participants in this list but it is probably because I have enjoyed the novels or many elements in it.

I accept recommendations, so please leave some comments!! I will keep updating every week! <<less

Novels on my reading lists where farming plays an important part in the story.... more>>

Part of them are on my to read list.

A Little all over the place! ... more>>

This is a curation of quality and cute storylines (if not perfectly translated) in the romance genre that I’ve personally read and liked on NU. BG only. The ranks are just for listing and do not indicate my preference. I like overpowered but also practical protagonists, tropes where the love interest falls in love first, and a rags to riches tagline. Exceptions are made for really good comedy and heartwarming slice of life. Thanks for reading! 

**Sometimes the site adds links to stories for different/newer translations so if you notice quality issues please let me know. It is not my intention to make you read second rate MTL.  <<less

Female protagonist who I think are cool and are generally more dominant in the relationship.

The first list already full so makes this one. Just see the tags. There still some novel in my bookmarks chrome that yet i move here. Will be updated slowly..... more>>

✔️ Complete (Translated/MTL)

✔️ BG or Husband only (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

✖️ BL/GL <<less

Created this list to keep track of my favorite completed novels that I've read.  Some of these I like a lot more than others, but I'm too lazy to split them into multiple lists.  If anyone else finds it useful, then that's an added bonus :) - fair warning, a lot of these novels follow similar, if not the same, cliches and tropes, but that's what I like to read. *shrug*... more>>

Also, all have happy endings.  I hate reading a really good novel only to have it ruined with a depressing ending.

Some of these novels are not showing as complete on NU, but are completed elsewhere, so I'm including them.

I'll add notes/comments as I feel like it - some notes are just key points/words to remind me which novel it is.

I'm going to add any other novels I really love, but aren't on NU in the comments for tracking purposes.

BL novels listed separately.

Smut with plot also listed separately now - this is not saying that there is no smut/NSFW in the novels on this list, just moved any novels where smut seemed to be the main focus.

Also moved some to a new list for novels that I did enjoy reading, but probably won't read again (just to keep track of what I've read without adding to this list).  So I guess "favorite" = "worth rereading"

Just started Part 2 of this list - may sort them by genre or something later: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87122/?ft=yes <<less

Novels on my reading lists where MC becomes rich by doing business, often because they know the future through rebirth or because of a Magical Space.

This is not in order...

Friends/lovers/relatives transmigrated or reincarnate in the same story. Doesn't include enemies or people hostile to each other. Characters may or may not know the other person also transmigrated/reincarnated. I don't reveal who reincarnated/transmigrated unless it's stated in the blurb. BG and BL.... more>>

I include books I haven't read. Books are listed in no particular order.

If you know of books I haven't mentioned, please please let me know. <<less

Fluffy romance, BL and BG? Cool. Silly satire? Love it. Foodie p*rn? Give it to me, daddy. Sweet, sweet face-slapping? Smack that b**** up. 2nd... more>> time around? No regrets. Body-snatching? Only the industrious need apply. Semi-historical dog-blood nonsense? Right this way, Mary Sue. Is there anything you won't read? DBZ enlightenment grinding to godhood. Ultimately unsatisfying. Relationship grinding is okay though. What can I tell you? Love triangles are a no-go. <<less
