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>>

These are the novels which has good plotline and smex scenes. I have included short novels as well if their is a considerable plot. (Some novels even after having just 10 chapters can have good plotline)... more>>

Degree varies; whether the scenes are detailed or not is mentioned

I personally prefer such novels where 'willing' physical intimacy is also shown. So descriptions are based on my likeness to the relationship.

- This list includes novels with these 2 tags, whether the MC is the one in the spotlight or whether they are in the background as long as one of these tags is present I will add them. Recommendations are welcome!
-------------------------------------------------

 KR novels: 1 - 16

CN novels: 17 - 58

-------------------------------------------------

[DESCRIPTION] –The description of the novel.

[ROMANCE] - Indicates if there is romance in the story or not. For me personally, I always base the novels that I read if it has good romance, since in some instances the romance completely ruins the story for me and sadly makes me drop the novel. In addition this helps categorizing what kind of romance genre it is, i.e yaoi, yuri, straight, shounen ai.

 [STATUS IN Country Of Origin] – Indicates the status of the novel whether it is completed or still ongoing, as well as a to compare it to the tl status.

[TL STATUS] - Indicates how far the translation team/person are. I added this in for I was sick and tired of sorting the story status to completed, finding a story that piqued my interest, then finding out it the tl chapters available aren't finished yet, really puts a frown on my face :( #stopthetranslationrickroll

To note I may be a bit late in updating the tl statuses as this list has many novels and I simply can't keep track of all of them. 

Recent update to the tl status was on: 07/9/23 <<less

The MCs of the list are comparatively active ones. They can be dense before the relationship like Wei Ying but they get enlightened sooner or later (≧▽≦).
They may or may not be the first one to fall in love.... more>>

It may sound weird but before reading 'Advance Bravely' novel I almost came to believe that in all the Chinese BL novels, One partner is always reluctant or passive; well it maybe noted that I haven't had read that many BL novels before it; this novel enlightened me.

I have only included the ones I have read.

No description.

The reading list consists of Korean and Chinese novels about people rising to stardom, making a name for themselves as behind-the-scene contributers, or talented traditional painting artists who strive for pure beauty of art.... more>>

Some chinese novels are yaoi and BL so it might not suit your taste, korean novels are either out of romance aspect or depict love between a man and a woman after great challenges.

The list is not a place where I put all the alike novels in. I have chosen novels with good to excellent plot, writing and translation, in other words, they the novels I love and have praised the most out of hundreds of art-related novels out there.

Hope you enjoy it! ～\（≧▽≦）/～ <<less
