Description has my comments on the novel. They're ½ (serious-ish) reviews and ½ me just trying to release some inner thoughts about what I read. I do my best to be not spoiler-y but well... 

☆ My favorites :3 Really good stuff. 5 stars!

••• Also good. About 4 stars~

× I'm not a fan of QTs, systems, BEs and SEs, and harems so this list won't have them much if that's your cup of tea.

Lighthearted, no angst, cute, romantic, warm and sweet. I re-read those often. Only completed novels listed. Some do have a little angst, but it is never between the couple, mostly drama from their past or outsiders who bring them trouble.... more>>

Those novels are well-written, with coherent story, coherent protagonists, coherent fantasy/modern world-building. Coherence and consistency in both plot and character behaviour are really important for me. I am not looking for realism. I am looking for cohesion and escapism. I don't mind characters who are OP, filthy rich, tsunderes, yanderes, geniuses, black-belly, child-like adults, evil demons, amoral characters, shota, obssessive, possessive etc.. i don't mind excessive characters because that's exactly what i like. I like that in Asian lit, those marginal characters are heroes and not defined by standardised morality. In Western lit, i don't meet many characters like that, and i have 45yrs of reading western literature. The only character set i avoid are indecisive protags who have no self-knowledge and keep self-analysing which i find quite boring. IRL, i also avoid such people lol... <<less

The first 18 are what I’ve really liked so far even if they might not have a description yet. The rest are not ranked. 

Can’t add to the list but recommend reading this one shot: https://snowycodex.com/translations/novels/oneshots/odagbpte/ <<less
