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

Novels w/
• jealousy
• sly comments
• tension
• obsessive love... more>>

I've ranked these based on the ones I've enjoyed the most considering the plot and possessiveness of the male lead by a 2:1 ratio ~

Only straight romances 

(I have another list only for BL)

what I've written are my honest opinions and pls feel free to reccomend more or to ask any questions ~♡ <<less

These are the novels I've given a try in 2021. I've also only been MTLing for like a couple of weeks so I've only completed some of them. I am of course going to include novels I've dropped and try to say the reason BUT, I have an awful memory so I don't even remember what I read last week, so some reviews might not be too accurate. Also my opinion is sh*t, don't trust me bc I get influenced by emotions, but if I rave about it it shouldn't be too bad, if I dropped it then... that's usually my fault.... more>>

I reached the list's limit so I'm not including certain unremarkable stories... I don't wanna do another list though, I guess I'll just have to stop reading this year. If push comes to shove I'll just replace the novels that I haven't read much of and didn't like.

Also yes..... this is what I read in > 4 months, I need a life and stop reading so much but this was a boring semester and reading was far more interesting than certain classes and just as useful (not useful). I hate myself omg guys don't do this! The way I don't even remember the names of these characters hftguyihio.

This is 96% CN, 3% JP, 1% KR.

ALSO STAN LOONA <<less

just something to keep track of everything I've read so far. ... more>>

pls don't mind the remarks and numbers. Its just my bookmarks hehe <<less

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

here are some c-novels that i read till the end, kinda grouped the list by troupe

Novels I personally disliked or left a bad taste in my mouth (Biased Opinion)

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!

We all have a guilty pleasure for tr*shy novels (or at least most of us). These are tr*shy novels that are good. There is a difference between tr*shy tr*sh and good tr*sh. Good tr*sh are novels that are cliché, tropey, and brainless with little character development, world building, and littered with Mary Sues and Gary Sues. However despite all their flaws, they still catch your attention and are addicting reads. The genres are varied but I do have a preference towards romance. From what I remember, none of these novels are terribly problematic. Don't think too much when you read these, just read and have fun. So come, come find a brainless read here! I hope... more>> you find a novel you will enjoy! 

*I tried sorting it into order of what I enjoyed the most at first, but then it got harder to rank them, so I gave up (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ*

*Also there is a hierarchy within good tr*shy novels, so some novels are like high quality tr*sh, Michelin star tr*sh.* <<less

This is not in order...... more>>

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

This Contemporary list deals with stories set in the modern world none to little touch of magic or supernatural events. Law and crime related novels here! *Nevermind, I'll also add sci-fis here.... more>>
