2nd List -- Stories that are interesting enough to be read and reread~ Some are fully translated, some are still work-in-progress--- Nice writing by authors/translators..

Brain gets scrambled pretty badly if you go for MTL novels but what can I say? Some novels are just worth the pain.... more>>

Here’s a selection of novels that haven’t been fully translated yet but this of you that for the sake of knowing the plot development (and when the antagonists will get their deserved face slapping) don’t mind a bit of pain.

Only BG, mostly historical, often revenge/rebirth sub-genre.

Please make sure you still support the original translator once new chapters are released. <<less

Thank you to everyone who made my first list such a hit IMO :') A continuation of all the well-written CN novels I've read and grew fond of!  No order in terms of quality~ ... more>>

And the ( POPULAR NOVELS FOR NEWBIES) as well on my profile. As usual i'll keep adding novels from time to time so go, follow and be updated. Until then.....ciao..:-) <<less

Im a very picky reader and these novels are one of my favs with great plot, character development, characterization with no s*upid ML or FL, accompanied with reasonable ability and way of thinking, and of course the plus points are its great cover, lol.... more>>

Mostly highly rated, >4.0 <<less

Tired of weak, simpering FLs? Try one of these books. Lady scholars, prime ministers, regent princesses, and generals -- with a few concubines and empresses thrown in for good measure. Mostly romances. BG... more>>

Novels I find enjoyable to read.... more>>

(Any incomplete read in the list are novels that are not translated completely yet. They may be subject to be removed from the list as I read the novel.) <<less

Keeping track of various novels whose premise sounds interesting and I should check out.... more>>

They should all be BG romance (modern or historical setting), hopefully with HE. <<less

BG ancient China novels with female MC that I personally rated 8/10 and above. I sorted this list by the time I read them. They all have happy endings unless stated otherwise. There are a lot more novels I liked over the years, but these are the ones listed in NU. ... more>>

I'm sad that only 17 of them are listed in NU, but I guess ancient China novels are too hard to translate...

*Edit: Added a few notable novels I rated 7/10 at the bottom of the list  <<less

Basically my list of all the new stars of the genre! Happy reading :D ... more>>

Really popular historical chinese novels that I have read+ recommend

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

These are all the Romances that come highly recommended and have been on my radar. Ended up being quite an eclectic mix though. Enjoy!... more>>

Note: Obviously this list will frequently change. The novels are later either moved to my "New Favorite Historical Romance of 2022" list or my "Put on ice" list.

Latest moves:

      - New Favorite HR: Who cares?; The Imperial guard’s revenge; Royal Road; Villainess won’t let the main lead break up
