Sturgeon's law: 99% of everything is terrible.... more>>

I know many people say that there are no good novels on this site, and it oftens feels like the top lists are filled with overpowered MC's, undeveloped harems, 2D characters, and lacking plots.

There are some novels that stand out, however, whether that be for their plots, characters, or translations.

This is a list for my personal 1%. It is ranked in order. <<less

Mixed bag. Basically transmigration and rebirth novels who have a better life (somewhat) for the second time, whether through revenge or just living a peaceful life while falling in love. ... more>>

Not only “Transmigrated into novels” type of story , but also stories who in their past life seems like they were a villain or cannon fodder who died unjustly. <<less

These are my favorite novels with transmigration, reincarnation and second chances as main themes*. I like slice of life, slow romance stories with good world-building... more>> and MCs who are calm, intelligent, not cruel and not too OP (if at all).  
I enjoyed reading the novels in this list but they may not be what I would typically like as mentioned above. Suggestions welcome. <<less

That certain type of (chinese) romance novel with a (often transmigrated) female lead, who's capable, talented and overall badass, and a (handsome and equally capable) doting male lead who'd do anything for her (Alternative Title: Wife-s*aves FTW). Generally, the male lead falls in love first, children between the two are optional (if there are, they are sometimes born before the story starts) and either one of them or both tend to attract several "flies"... more>>

The actual quality of the stories vary wildly, but these are the ones I consider "readable" (in no particular order really). Meaning, aside from how good the story itself is, the Female and Male Lead should have a healthy relationship; So no "he r*ped me so now I'm in love with him even though he treats me like shit" or bullsh*t like that. If something like that happens later in the story, I'll remove the entry.
("accidental r*pe", where one or both parties have consumed aphrodisiacs unknowingly/against their will or similar situations are a grey area and judged on a case to case basis) <<less

✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived  my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.... more>>

PS: The others novels I liked, but not enough to be featured here, are in my yearly "New Favorite Historical Romances" lists. <<less

I read a lot of historical romance so I'm a bit fussy, well-written leads (who have chemistry) and a decent plot are a must!  Also, cliche tropes are fun once in a while but I prefer things that are a bit more unique.... more>>

Recommend Favorite Ancient China Rebirth Novel. Plot Is Good, Revenge and Faceslapped Is Satisying. It's Addicted and Attractive Novel.

"In the road of revenge, no one could turn around. It did not mean that if there was kindness in the past, there would be a reason to why mistakes could be made in the future. The wicked were never worthy of any mercy and the winners would always speak the last words to the losers before their heads fell."

No love rivals, s*upid misunderstandings, or cheating (aka ML being w/ anyone other then FL). If you guys have any recommendations, please leave me a comment. I'm always on the lookout for a good book! <<less

I like a mixed bag of tropes, so i hope you find a solid novel to read from here ! i usually cap my novel searches at 4.3stars+, but i've definitely wandered around A LOT, check out my other BG liats as well as lists for BLs (that i'm currently re-sorting hehe !!) <<less

This list resumes the chinese novels I have liked so far. Many may not be here for two reasons: a. I haven't read it; b. I really haven't liked it. ... more>>

Be aware, if the novel isn't tr*sh, it takes a lot for me not to like a Chinese Historical Novel. Btw, you might find one or two unusual participants in this list but it is probably because I have enjoyed the novels or many elements in it.

I accept recommendations, so please leave some comments!! I will keep updating every week! <<less
