Reading list for novels with female mc's that aren't annoying or have an idiotic personality.

Title says it all, the stuff that I find to be the creme de la crem of East Asian novels (kr, JP, cn)... more>>

I’ll also throw in some guilty pleasures that I enjoy, but they’ll be marked with a comment.

What I tend to like: Strong Characterizations, Character relationships, good world building, excellent writing, great dialogue, realistic romancing (basically mature, not in hs anymore romance)

What I tend to dislike: Shounen (too formulaic and limiting on the stories they’ll tell), Harem (if not for realistic/fit into the story reasons), Romance where the reasons the characters like each other are unrealistic/wish fulfillment/s*upid (I’m looking at you, popular/hot/charismatic girl dates the wet mop of a child cause the plot needs to happen)

Current tropes I have beef with:

1. Girl was protected/saved/impressed once by wet noodle mc in early elementary school, so she’s interested in him in high school. Such a lazy plot device and it feels like every damn KOREAN/JP novel has some variation of this. UGH IT’S PAINFUL LEARN HOW TO WRITE FEMALE CHARACTERS.

2. When the characters are 10-12 but act like 16-20 year olds. Like…… fantasy doesn’t explain smol boy/girl holding 100lb sword or being Sun Tzu from birth (unless you’re Sun Tzu who got isekai’ed)

If you’re curious why something you’ve read isn’t on this list that you think should be, please check my other list which logs all the novels I’ve read and if it’s not there, suggest in the comments :) <<less

It's probably the "I reincarnated into another world and am OP" type of story. Or maybe it's something more. Either way, I enjoyed it and I'm not a fan of stereotypical stories. ... more>>

I've tried to keep the list to novels that are more known as webnovels rather than published light novels. <<less

isekai.. romance.. shoujo... shonen... adventure... mature... josei.... reincarnation.. mystery.. with plot or no plot...i have too many preference for genres. MOST of the time, it change DEPENDS on my mood, so...... more>>

NO SMUT though. 

if you want some smut, go to the list aside from this, with title "NOT SAFE FOR YOU -- ONGOING -- (R18)"

actually, i made this just so i can easily find every LN (Light Novel) and WN (Web Novel) that i still read, or haven't...

ONGOING means :

1. the novel still in progress, both the RAW version or the translation version.

2. the novel is complete in RAW version, and yet... the translation still in progress...

so...

WELCOME. <<less
