I love novels with exciting action and a survivalist story especially ones with female leads! That's what this list is. It's ordered from most to least liked novel (I rated them too) and at the end are novels I've yet to read.... more>>

----

~P.S. Worm is a webnovel that features a dark story centering a girl with certain powers and her dangerous adventures. It's not on NU (cause it's not a translated novel), but you can find it on parahuman's website 

Also, Survive Romance and 7 seeds are good survival manga <<less

Novels with an actually strong female lead that gets the job done and doesn't really rely on anyone else.

No description.

Stories based in or around the apocalypse, making to keep track of them most of them have a romance element, mostly CN, excluding most harem and shounen type novels... more>>

The comments like 'dropped'or 'pass' are some of my reading list notes so I could search apocalypse tag excluding everything I put in this list by labelling these as my 'apocalypse reading list' <<less

Absolute faves, wouldn't mind reading them again, for the third time.

NOT RANKED BY NUMBER. Lots of diversity in the novels. Different kinds like zombie apocalypse, horror, or light-hearted reads like comedy and romance. They all have their own quirks and differences, but one thing that they all have in common is that they are strong in their own way, and they are all female leads. Mentally, physically, talent-wise, etcetera. Some have romance and some don't.  If that's your cup of tea, go right ahead! I don't put bad novels on this list. So read them all. 3/5+ stars only!... more>>

THE ONES WITHOUT RATING ARE NOVELS IM STILL READING!

UPDATES EVERY WEEK!  <<less

I was tired of reading stories about tyrant ceo's , their actions irked me ; not to mention the hypocritical FL's who magically fell in love with their abusers but still shamelessly promote being a strong woman . So I created a list of MC's that don't irk me . The ML's are cute sweethearts , they might be a bit stereotypical in the beginning but you would know why I call them sweethearts soon and most Importantly the FL's ARE THE PROACTIVE ONE'S IN THESE NOVELS . ... more>>

I've been going on a journey from A to Z due to lack of novels for me to read, as it felt like I read everything. Like I read way too much on this site... I just hit 650 reviews... though most of them were just a few words / sentences... I decided to finally make a reading list of what I think the best novels on this site are for male readers. Some stories were worse off in quality, but they were interesting enough to keep me reading.... more>>

I USUALLY ignore 4 types of novels

1. Romance focused

2. Historical focused

3. Female Leads

4. Dropped novels

Now, before u get mad, I only included ones that I CONTINUED liking. Because many times, the story quality ends up dropping the farther along the story is. I read a lot, so I'm very picky. Like when I first came to this site, I literally loved isekai, vrmmo, cultivation novels so much because everything was new... but now... there are comparisons... Another possible reason your novel isn't here, is that the novel is just new, and I have not read it yet as it was released after I went past that point alphabetically.

Please note the list will change in the future. I only read up the translation at the time of reading, so some of these books may be removed due to later chapters ruining the story.

Although I have read and liked a few FL Romance focused novels, I will not be including them to this list to be non biased, as I have not read enough of those to be picky about them. <<less

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

There are some with angst. You know I rarely read BG cause I'd rather the FMC be by herself instead of with a man so... more>> don't come here with the intent of having a lot of BG. I'll also add non-romance, but I'll let you guys know. Wow look at my pitiful amount of BG lol <<less

This Isekai list deals with stories, where the protagonist is a person from Earth transported, reborn, or is trapped in a fantasy or parallel universe (with memories of a prior life intact). It includes being transmigrated to novels as well as games.... more>>

The following recommendations would be labeled whether they belong to BG, BL, GL, or No Love Interests. There is no ranking in my list, it was just according to the time when I chronologically added the novel inside this list.

Hello you! I'm still here, and with some more recommendations. Happy reading!

Basically a collection of all the apocalypse novels that I’ve read until the end, so it’s either good or just bearable 

Female MCs I’ve enjoyed reading without too much focus on romance. If it’s not completed on here, I either read the MTL or the translation’s... more>> online somewhere, both of which tells you how much I liked it. Please recommend anything that’s been finished translation wise, thanks! Genres span a lot, but MC has goals outside of romance or is a baddie. <<less
