2. Storyline will not always be word for word, it is more prominent with xianxias 

3. released drama first, unreleased near the end.

4. Novel rating is subjective and will not be in any order.

I just thought it be nice to have a list of stories with dramas coming out :D <<less

Nothing under a 3.5 rating

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:
- The calamity of a reborn witch on RRL, it's a really great novel

I welcome thoughts and comments, particularly on ranking, additions and unsuitable novels for this list. <<less

My list... (o^^o)... more>>

Transmigration, Reincarnation, QT, Rebirth, Time Travel... <<less

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

The four arts (四藝, siyi), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic accomplishments required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They are qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.
