I decide to make a new list based on novel I recently read. I already have a list about time travelling to ancient era but... more>> not all of historical romance genre involving time travel. That's why I make a different list to accommodate historical romance without any time travel. And also because there are not many cultivation novels that I've read in the past, I simply include this genre to the list because it also happened in ancient era. Hope you don't mind. <<less

All the reads I enjoyed. (Only the novels I enjoyed reading are included)... more>>

Still incomplete list cos I forgot the title of some of the stuff I read. This is the result so far after going through memory lane of all the novels I read, filtering the terrible ones.

Mostly BG

And worry-not, characters are actually pretty decent with a great or at least acceptable setting and plot. <<less

As you may have observed, I definitely am a sucker for 'reincarnation & transmigration tropes', some yandere in the happening, with a dash of romance in... more>> medieval setting; and with a pinch of smut & fluff.  <<less

Completed romance novels taking place in ancient time and fantasy world that I've read

Nothing lower than a 3.5/5 rating here. ( I am currently in the progress of updating my ratings to a 5 star system rather than a 10). Some novels can also be found in my "Top Favorites" list. You may enjoy this list if you're looking for: ... more>>

✦ Completed stories. 
✦ Strong-ass female MCs. Admittedly, sometimes they're a little too strong but I don't care.
✦ Character development. It's my ultimate kink. 
✦ Cute, fluffy stories. I actually don't usually like pure romance but for some reason there's a lot of them in here...

Rating Breakdown

5 / 5 - Solid novels with a solid plot, world-building, and character development.

4 / 5 - Novels that are really well-written but it may be "missing" something that makes it a solid novel in my books. Perhaps everything about it is amazing but just lacks character development. 

3.5 / 5 - These novels are novels that I do not take seriously. I don't try to dissect characterization or the world. I do not question why MC can save the day every time. They are usually a simple and easy reads. To fully enjoy reading these novels, don't try and read in between the lines. Enjoy them for what they are. <<less
