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

Novels with female leads who transmigrated or reincarnated. The female leads are rational, not to OP, not too revengeful but still get the justice they... more>> deserved.

Villains are not intentionally made s*upid to make the FL look smart. <<less

This list is to keep track of novels I am considering to MTL or read
