Tired of naive female protagonists? Close to losing it because you can't stand another clumsy MC that doesn't consider the consequences of her actions and somehow gets everything to work out either due to her OP male suitors or just dumb luck?... more>>

Well good news! 

Here is a compilation of mature female protagonists who are calm, level-headed, and rational. All hail these practical queens that can stand on their own, against all odds, with or without the male lead. 

PS: My queen ratings have nothing to do with how much I liked the novel. I rated all of these novels 4 or 5 stars and I think they're all really good. <<less

Life’s hard, man. In this rec, you’ll find novels with characters that move forward from their tragic past and from societal standards, characters that find a way to live for themselves despite a system, plot, entity, or life from preventing them to do so. ... more>>

This list includes strong, courageous characters that disobey the system, original plot line, and fate through the ability to think and desire to choose their own happy ending. From world hopping to transmigration novels, these characters have dignity, grit, and values - both of which they are not willing to break regardless of what a system or entity says. 

-  includes transmigration novels where the characters struggles, suffers, or is punished for disobeying the original plot line; and characters who are able to fight the charms and effects of their own system and other people’s systems

- includes characters with grit and defiance to fate: characters that have been reborn or transmigrated way too many times, characters in game and different worlds that are trying to survive and find their own happy ending, despite the plot and other characters preventing them from doing so

- includes characters who portray growth; includes characters who are able to make peace with their past and move forward and find their own happiness <<less

These are highly popular and highly rated romantic fantasy novels that I have NOT tried yet.  I've been collecting them feverishly, needed to separate the best ones to try, and figured I'd share the goodies!... more>>

I'm heavily biased towards female protagonists (but fine with multiple viewpoints/perspectives) and male love interests.  I also usually dislike harem in general, you *probably* won't see it here.

Whenever I read one, I'll write a very short general opinion. <<less

Strictly MC or ML rebirth and no transmigration

From fierce & dominating, to the more subdued but calculating ones. Either way, not a doormat in sight! All genres are included.

Fluffy romance, BL and BG? Cool. Silly satire? Love it. Foodie p*rn? Give it to me, daddy. Sweet, sweet face-slapping? Smack that b**** up. 2nd... more>> time around? No regrets. Body-snatching? Only the industrious need apply. Semi-historical dog-blood nonsense? Right this way, Mary Sue. Is there anything you won't read? DBZ enlightenment grinding to godhood. Ultimately unsatisfying. Relationship grinding is okay though. What can I tell you? Love triangles are a no-go. <<less

As a man, I am not interested in shoujo novels in general... However, there are some that I've dared to try out that I've quite enjoyed. Here's a list!... more>>

Some I've admittedly not yet tried but soon intend to do so since they look like they would appeal, so my confidence level in the appeal is high for the first 15 titles, and... more experimental for the following...

Also, check out:
