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

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

It's just as the name says. Contains both Korean & Japanese novels. The Rating is based on the Female Lead.... more>>

i don't believe in the glorification of mu*der but i do believe in the empowerment of women

Mostly "toxic" relationships and primarly that of a romantic nature.... more>>

Although the ML's are usually the one described of such acting, the FL's can be too.

Ussually the FL has the upper hand and the ML is a puppy, this also being the preference, but there can be exceptions in the list.

Also novels where the ML's burning affection is not reciprocated by the FL. This can be changed as the plot evolves, or until the end the love won't be reciprocated.

Fantastic realm/ Royalty/Modern world/Ancient times - doesn't matter as long as the FL is not treated miserably, even if there is angst, mixed emotions, bursts of anger, sad and tense moments. The ML lead definitely can not be a total scum and the FL a weak, emotional damsel. This being said, I gladly accept new suggestions that match this genre. <<less

Novels with either plain obsessive love or twisted relationships. Keep in mind that these are all my personal ratings so it may not be the same for you but still, take it as a reference if you're unsure of what to read next. ... more>>

Yandere Levels ; 10 - borderline obsessive w/ actual reasons   ▎8 to 9 - definitely obsessive but not too much  ▎5 to 7 - obsessiveness that came out of no where (aka just bcuz fl's nice to ml etc.)

Plot ; 10 - interesting and unique  ▎8 to 9 - decent / common but tolerable  ▎5 to 7 - plain and usual / not so surprising  <<less

This is for my own reading list. I include both straight and BL reverse harem... A male harem.. Don't judge me. I love it when a group of dudes fawning over the MC XD... more>>

The endings can be a harem or 1v1. 

I haven't managed to read most of of the novels so I just add them to my list based on recommendations. Do let me know if I added wrongly. Cheers  <<less

I am a visual tr*sh what can i say. I see a pretty cover and be like "I'm going to read that!" 

If you're trying to find novels which will help you to deal with anxiety and pressure, make you deal with your inferiority complex and boost your confidence level, you're at the right place! These novels will make you believe in yourself as our leads are independent and powerful. So, Be CONFIDENT!... more>>

Because the first and 2nd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 3rd list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on the 1st and 2nd list will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing the 1st and 2nd list, Go See that 1st!}

And here I'll try to add all the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful which couldn't fit on the previous lists. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include korean, chinese, japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o  <<less

stuff ill probably read once they update more-- although I've only read some of them, they are all romance (mostly shoujo, not smut lol) but the covers look sweeter than candy~... more>>

No description.

I intended to make this list to compile novels I liked that has Strong Female Leads but I also like Powerful Male Leads so added that as well hehe.... more>>

By Strong Female Lead, I don't mean what most thought of, like the MC having advantages since she knows the plot of the story reincarnated in, that's not strong that just her being in the lead since she know what's gonna happen. By strong I mean, either physically or mentally strong. A pretty vague answer but in short here are novels with Main Characters that I deem strong.
Beware that I prioritize the characters here rather than the plots so you may agree or disagree with my selection, but otherwise, these are all just suggestions for people who doesn't know what to read next.

Characters ; 10 - unique, has their own personalities | 8 to 9 - not common or uncommon, but decent nonetheless | 5 to 7 - a character on their own, make sense but also doesn't, not so detailed or well written.

Plot ; 10 - unique and interesting | 8 to 9 - not common or uncommon, but tolerable enough to read | 5 to 7 - written solely for the main characters to shine, not so detailed or well written. <<less

Korean/ Japanese novel... more>>

Completed or In progressed (last release on 1/1/2022) <<less

Female protagonists that have knowledge of a novel and are transmigrated/etc. into that novel; born into a villain's family, are the villainess themselves, the villain's daughter, repeatedly interact with the villain, etc.... more>>

The FL/MC has a fate with the villain of the novel/game. 

Basically, the MC is thrown into the world of a novel and interacts with the villain character of that novel, whether that is being the villain themselves or having a close relationship.

BTW, I only put the novels I LIKE on this list. If I don't like it, I won't add it even if the genre fits, tr*sh is tr*sh.

Let me help you. Firstly, if you want to read the novel, search for it in its native language and use the browser's page-translation feature. From my memory, it works for chinese, korean, and japanese novels. Secondly, MTL novel has most chinese novels, you'll need to adapt and get used to the brokenness and confusion that comes with the absence of an editor. Korean novels are found easily by searching '[Korean title] ch 1'. If you don't find it, shorten the korean name to broaden the search or give up. I have given up many times... (cries in 'The Princess Wishes To Die Peacefully'...)

What I'm saying above is. I have completed countless novels that NU will never release the chapters for. Don't limit yourself, you can finish every novel on my lists, because I have. <<less

Both BG and BL stories. May or may not contain smut. ... more>>

Quality depends on my preference. I don't finish novels I don't like so if it's cringey, I would drop it. So the fact that I finished it means it was good and/or tolerable.

The target audience for this is (straight) women. So the protagonist is either a woman in a BG novel or a man in a yaoi story. So more like a reverse harem. 

Though as a disclaimer, some of these don't have a harem end, meaning, they didn't end up with the harem or they only chose one or they chose none. I also included those that are not technically "harem" because they are basically several souls but 1 ML.   <<less

i'm a sucker for obssessive and crazy lovers! Hope you enjoy the list's novels!

Female protagonists. Transmigrated/Reincarnated into a novel as the Villainess. Mostly Fantasy Romance novels. Aristocracy & Nobility. No smut or ecchi (that I remember). Most have a Manhwa adaption. Some start as Child protagonists. Kinda cliché? (I haven't read like, 90% of these novels so I can't really say). Not in any particular order.... more>>
