Villainess books that I would 100% recommend to those who like the genre! My criteria is that they were either transmigrated into a villainess body, once a villainess or act villainess-y. Rankings don't matter, but I try to put the lesser knowns above. Enjoy and I hope this list helps!!... more>>

*If novels are not getting updated, I will drop it. Exceptions are made only because I enjoyed reading it a lot <<less

I don't know. I'm losing interest in the middle...

I love novels with exciting action and a survivalist story especially ones with female leads! That's what this list is. It's ordered from most to least liked novel (I rated them too) and at the end are novels I've yet to read.... more>>

----

~P.S. Worm is a webnovel that features a dark story centering a girl with certain powers and her dangerous adventures. It's not on NU (cause it's not a translated novel), but you can find it on parahuman's website 

Also, Survive Romance and 7 seeds are good survival manga <<less

Bl, bg, and no romance.  Genre’s pretty diverse.  I consider all of these top tier yummy food with good plot and fleshed out characters.  Not... more>> all of these are complete but some are good enough for me erode my brain and mlt.  Hope u all find smth u like.  (List incomplete) <<less

A few ancient Chinese novels whose heroines I am quite fond of. Mostly calm, smart, and reasonable women who are not overpowered. Most of these webnovels... more>> also have minimal angst. I also have untranslated suggestions in the comments. <<less

Part 2- https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/58955/

Korean Romance:

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/43646/ <<less

Not a Ranking List. ... more>>

Just novels that I found interesting.

Mostly tragedy, but not limited to that. I like a tragedy for a good cry, not for a distressed cry. So mostly these novels aren't full of abuse just to make you cry. You will cry because you feel for the characters. 

There are fluffs and diabetes here, but like I said, mostly tragedy. 

Please read the Genre and Tags of the novel before plunging yourself into this hellhole. 

My tendencies are to seek novels in which: the CP Happy Ending is when they are together <in death>, the CP Happy Ending is when they are together <in life>, the CP is supportive of each other, or the CP building is interesting.

Have a good cry reading these novels! <<less

novel i finished reading and loved it, sometimes i'll reread it again and again. mostly happy ending (my life already not easy so there's no... more>> need to add angst)  ^^
FYI, for some uncomplete translated novel, i read it via MTL. just copy paste the chineese title on google than add shubaow or imiaobige in it <<less

No description.

Stories in which female protagonists and others are hopefully not one-dimensional i.e. just ruthless, just silly, high-IQ/low-EQ. Side characters (mostly) have lives outside of the protagonist and/or male lead. Villains aren’t downright TSTL. ... more>>

Last three newly added: #9 | Don’t Touch Porcelain, #22 | Unconscious, #14 | I Am Average and Unremarkable

No. 1 - No. 32 | Incomplete Translations

No. 33+ | Complete Translations

Not in any particular order except for whether they’re complete or not. 

A huge thank you to all the translators who translated these gems and gave me the opportunity to enjoy them <<less

From ceos to emperors, sugary sweet to bittersweet and sobering love stories, romance has always been one of my guilty pleasures. Romance is not always... more>> about a fulfilling love story, or a reciprocated love. Sometimes it involved with a sobering pain that force you to take a look at the reality, and decided not to be in love anymore.  After shifting through many, many of pile of them, here are some hand-picked titles for you, selected by yours truly~ <<less

mostly c-novels/transmigration... more>>

sorta in the order of how much i enjoyed/liked it 

all are novels that i genuinely liked tho!! otherwise i would've dropped it (all dropped novels are listed in the comment below :) lmk if i dropped a novel prematurely and i should try it again)

my recently read novels got a letter grade score (A+, A-, etc) from me, i'm planning on going through and scoring the rest <<less

mc's face launches a thousand ships, starting wars and causing the downfall of a dynasty... more>>

pls comment if you have any to add! (i am a bit picky) mc's beauty should not just be mentioned but also be a driving force behind some of the plot and story, ideally with a minor focus on tragedy (how can the earth shatter without tragedy? with beauty there is conflict) <<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

“ 'Cause you're the reason I believe in fate, you're my paradise and I'll do anything to be your love or be your sacrifice.”... more>>

“ Love isn't random, we are chosen.” <<less

By "good romantic story", at minimum: no bs that isn't justified or explained, or is overly done; romance is not offensive, neither lead being an as*hole to each other; romance that isn't overly dry or has too much drama; leads may be either slightly stereotypes or codependent but at least it's cute and they are not 2d but the sides may be a little; chemistry is good and story plot is mediocre or vice versa... more>>

At best: independent badass leads where the romance is a build up of them doing their own thing and getting to know each other; solid world building; 3d characters all around; fluff that makes you happy and not bored to read; there is actually good plot; there is life beyond romance but the romance makes it nice to read too

Pt 1 is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16574/

Pt 3 (slowly updating):

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/66164/

In no particular order.

Includes: bg/bl romances, enjoyable opness, supernatural, entertainment, fantasy, good fluff, s*x, smut, adventure and/or mystery, etc 

Low-key this list is just me forgetting all these books' plots. Lawl <<less
