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>>

No description.

You know this genre. People awaken superpowers and are called Hunters or Players, and also there are gates to other dimensions and/or a tower where each floor is a dungeon. May also include beings from other dimensions who started this nonsense for their own self-interests.... more>>

Each series I have read or am planning to read. May include series that aren't *quite* this genre but are close enough. Includes both romance and non-romance. At the end I've included series without translations or ones with only a couple of chapters translated that haven't updated in a long time. Maybe some day I can read them... <<less

BL, Straight, hopefully GL if i can find some. Just personal taste but these really are great so far. Not really in any sort of... more>> order just as I remember the specific titles. <<less

Female MC can be physically strong or very intelligent or both. They can be apathetic or cold-blooded but nevertheless charming. 

Therapy costs more than these novels.... more>>

**A better name for this list would be Tragic Romance Novels (18+) but I wanted to emphasize on the process of grief I regularly experience while reading this stuff. 

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

I'll still be implementing a rating system from **1-5 with 1 being just sad at some parts to 5 being downright horrific**

**In addition, rather than the summaries I put short explanations for the rating. In all honesty, it's better for you to ignore them. Protect your mental well-being from my inane babbling and mild spoilers. <<less

Pretty covers regardless of its contents part two... more>>

And also how I got scammed into reading some boring stuff because I got hooked by their beautiful exterior. But sometimes beautiful exterior does reflect what’s inside just like you are

Still adding some pretty covers with good content and also adding my sad conned novel reading experience  <<less

A list of novels with women/girls who know what they want, how to get it, and stand up for themselves. ... more>>

Note: the novels in this list are not in any particular order! My favorites are noted with two asterisks (**)! <<less

for the people who are tired of face-slapping actresses, miracle medical geniuses, and gamer girls, aka the typical "novel" occupations 
most are 4+ stars; ordered by my read completion date (some are to-reads)... more>>

includes: fml and ml's occupations + my rating of how well career plays into the story + my review (if I've read it) 

My career-and-plot-integration rating criteria:

1- career is a feature of the fml's backstory and/or character setup; there's no function other than a way to meet other characters or cause drama; no actual work seems to be put into it; miscomprehension of the concept of a career

2- career is said to be important/life-long passion but is not delved upon beyond the surface level; may be prominent in an arc or two but is forgotten in most other chapters; instead of a romantic subplot, it's a work subplot; unrealistic depictions of career

3- career is somewhat important in fml's daily life; is mentioned consistently throughout the story but other things hold precedence; fml occasionally puts in some hard effort; partially realistic depictions of career

4- career is very important to the fml and she works hard on it; it may at times surpass the importance of other things like romance or personal wellbeing; obvious professional knowledge is referenced; mostly accurate depictions of career <<less

I found that there is not many dungeon based novels with a female protagonist, so here's a small list.

- you know what's here if you know ORV/Solo leveling and sh*t lol enjoy!... more>>

-no order

- I like this kind of stories even more if there is some homosexuality between the main characters lol feel free if you want to drop some recs of this type!! <<less
