BG modern romance : NO rebirth / NO transmigration ... more>>

Mostly FLUFF hehe

P.S. More novel recommendations in the comments. Its not listed here on NU yet and still unstranslated. But most of the MTL quality is still okay. I've read most of them on shubaow . net <<less

At what age does a person have to be before his love can be justified?... more>>

the list contains an older FL/ML with atleast 3 years age gap. There is joy in age gap.

When FL is older than him, ML is usually a loyal and clingy puppy. 

Whilst,

When ML is older than her, FL is treated and pampered like a baby.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste as mine.

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem and do tell if you have recommendations.

Recommended novels not linked to NU. Most are less than 100 chapters including extras.. (titles and synopsis in the comment section, mtl'ed but decipherable) <<less

Good Romance Novels - BG (part 2) @ https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/34372/ <<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>>

Romance that gratify my soul. They are super sweet novels that give me a dopamine rush. Novels that make you crave for that kind of love. In addition to underrated gems, I have tried to include various fluffy, BG novels of different genres. Enjoy!! :)... more>>

-Not ranked in order; highly rated novels; BG; 1v1 (no harem), HE, lots of fluff <<less

You can browse up and down if there is one on here you like. The one before is likely to have similar aspects to the one after and so on. These are in the order in which I read them, as this list is mostly for my own sake. I like shorter, completed trans, reinc, time slip, QT with fantasy romance, game elements and systems, and bl. I love sweet mindless fluff stories and mature stories that make you think also rl game menu status plates. Some stories have these, some don't. I have attached a summary, thoughts, and where I've read to as the notes. I didn't filter what I put there, so beware-... more>>

WARNING: SPOILERS GALORE! THERE WILL BE NO WARNINGS HENCEFORTH.  <<less

These are all CN novels that I would like to recommend. I finished reading some of them and still finding the right time to read the other novels. I find them quite interesting with the description and reviews so I decided to share it will all of you. No ranking order.... more>>

Enjoy reading! <<less

This is a list of all the novels that I have read with a female protagonist. Most of them have romance. Everything on this list has a happy ending of course. Some are more slice of life and some are very dramatic, but in the end these novels all left a good impression on me.... more>>

Not all the novels on this list are equally good. Some are okay, some are good, some are loved a lot. Nevertheless, I managed to complete them, so that means they're all readable.

For novels that are my absolute favourites which are those that I will reread many times, I will mark them with a "Best-Loved" award.

Some may get a "Honorable Mention" if they don't quite make it to Best-Loved, but they do stand out from the rest.

I will try my best to leave my impression of the novel in the comments. For some novels I will only say it's an enjoyable read which means for some reason or another they don't make the Best-Loved or Honorable Mentions list.

Acronyms I use often include FL aka female lead (also MC aka main character) and ML aka male lead. <<less

just modern day stories w female mc and some romance, this is mostly when the MC is not in school or has a job, i... more>> have a modern school life list too <<less

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. ... more>>

The novels you're gonna be seeing here are of course, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters spent to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

Found out there's a limit on how much you could add on the list so... I'm gonna be making a Recommendation list no. 2!

With their abnormal flaws and huge red flags, they’re not for everyone, but they’re perfect for each other. Involves intense and passionate love, and often some forgiveness ... more>>

Because the first list was full and on huge demand I thought of creating a second list! {Note: Novels that were added on the 1st list will not be added here! So if you came here without seeing the 1st list, Go See that 1st!}... more>>

for the people who are tired of face-slapping actresses, miracle medical geniuses, and gamer girls, aka the typical "novel" occupations 
most are 4+ stars; ordered by my read completion date (some are to-reads)... more>>

includes: fml and ml's occupations + my rating of how well career plays into the story + my review (if I've read it) 

My career-and-plot-integration rating criteria:

1- career is a feature of the fml's backstory and/or character setup; there's no function other than a way to meet other characters or cause drama; no actual work seems to be put into it; miscomprehension of the concept of a career

2- career is said to be important/life-long passion but is not delved upon beyond the surface level; may be prominent in an arc or two but is forgotten in most other chapters; instead of a romantic subplot, it's a work subplot; unrealistic depictions of career

3- career is somewhat important in fml's daily life; is mentioned consistently throughout the story but other things hold precedence; fml occasionally puts in some hard effort; partially realistic depictions of career

4- career is very important to the fml and she works hard on it; it may at times surpass the importance of other things like romance or personal wellbeing; obvious professional knowledge is referenced; mostly accurate depictions of career <<less

Novels that made me cry a bucket of tears

Josei, shoujo, and romance light novels that spark joy in the heart

Novels that have obsessive, possessive or yandere male leads.  Male leads that make you shudder and grin at how crazy they are with FL. Most... more>> are completed. <<less

List of stories that portray realistic romance set in modern time. The main leads are adults and mostly have career - which varies from actor, lawyer, doctor, professional athlete, office worker, etc.... more>>

I don't include stories that have mystery/crime as their main or sub genre; there is another list dedicated for it. I also don't include tragedy with bad ending since my heart can't handle too much sadness.

NB: In the list below, you can read the bracket as [Female Lead x Male Lead]. <<less

Diabetes-causing novels, mostly short modern stories without much snu snu and angst... more>>

Finished raws, some still in translations

Extra tag: shameless ML <<less

I don't like reading:

World Hopping (in romance novels)

Dense Protagonist (there are too many of them)

Amnesia

...

There are so many of them, I can't possibly write all of them here.

From what I wrote many of them here on this list.
