Not a Ranking List. ... more>>

Just novels that I found interesting.

Mostly tragedy, but not limited to that. I like a tragedy for a good cry, not for a distressed cry. So mostly these novels aren't full of abuse just to make you cry. You will cry because you feel for the characters. 

There are fluffs and diabetes here, but like I said, mostly tragedy. 

Please read the Genre and Tags of the novel before plunging yourself into this hellhole. 

My tendencies are to seek novels in which: the CP Happy Ending is when they are together <in death>, the CP Happy Ending is when they are together <in life>, the CP is supportive of each other, or the CP building is interesting.

Have a good cry reading these novels! <<less

My Favorite Chinese Historical  Novels >.< This list consists of both BL and Straight novels with a rating above 4.0~... more>>

Note: Recently, some of the translation teams have taken their works down (dead links on the content section)  from NU (because NU has grown a lot) however most of them if not all have their own sites and the novels are still available there! So if you search the novels online you can still find them! ;)

P.S. There is also a part 2 with more novels and hidden gems for everyone to read! If interested the second list can be found on my account :)  <<less

This is the continuation of STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS I and STRAIGHT ROMANCE NOVELS II... more>>

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. 

The novels you're gonna be seeing here is still the same, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, xianxia, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). This time this reading list is still light-hearted and sweet but more xianxia.

------

We reached the limit, AGAIN. I still have a lot to share so maybe I'm gonna make a no.4 ... maybe

For my followers and those who wish to follow: Let it be known that this is not an accurate list.  I have excluded some nonhuman males.  Stories that are under 10 chapters long and have not been updated in a year will not be included in this list.  I will include descriptions for each as I read them.

~If you're looking for completed stories good enough to be read more than once, then check out my 'Completed Favorites' list.  I highly recommend it! <<less

List is in progress. New stories added as I find them. ... more>>

Romance novels of various sub genres where I enjoyed the characters, romance, setting or all of the above enough that I read them over and over again. 

This is a huge mash up of settings and maturity level. Read all tags on the novels before you click one to make sure you are into that style of story.

If you have a book that you read over and over thats not on this list, please drop a comment. Im always on the look out for good stories.  <<less

No description.

No harem... more>>

- First 18 novels have male protagonists 

Other novel recommendations:

- "starting from fooling the elderly into registering for a cultivation training class" (MC, modern day, introducing cultivation to the world)
- "Immortal's wine store" (Heavenly God MC transmigrates to new world, w system providing missions to brew wine)

 - "watch out! danger ahead" (FMC, horror, survival game to be God, from weak to OP, start was quite interesting)

- "shocking the whole internet! He's not a psychologist at all!" (MC, lifestreams to help change others' fate and cultivate to be immortal)

- "the rich young lady destroyed her dream girl script" (FMC, OP main characters, not your usual dreaming of being in a novel/character w system story -- in fact kinda like downfall)

- "among cultivators, I stand above all" (FMC, aware she'll be killed by novel MC in future, tries to make use of her time to learn as many skills, one of the most hardworking cultivator MC I know)

- "transmigrating as a delicate bundle of luck for a farming family" (FMC, one of the sweetest loving family/friend relationships, with MC being a divine doctor, though ended up going an unexpected plot line, made me tear up many times early in novel, with interesting mix of cultivation/superpowers introduced in later stages, stopped around 800+chapters) <<less

Decided to start keeping track of novels that were adapted to TV dramas!... more>>

Often I ended up watching the drama before reading the books, which in some cases is good, some other times is actually bad as the story is more fleshed out in the drama itself.

I’m not going to give a review of the novel and/or drama it’s been adapted to, but I’m going to give a score based on how similar is the drama to the novel (and viceversa) based on what I’ve read.
⭐️ = significant changes to the story and the characters  ⭐️⭐️ = some changes to the some events in the story and the characters but main story plot is maintained ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = both the story and the characters remain true to the novel

Unrated novels is because I either haven't read the novel or haven't watched the drama so wouldn't be able to provide an accurate analysis. <<less

In no particular order.
Fav authors :
Bai Li Zi / chestnut (heart warming stories). Mo Ding. Zi Xin Yu (short stories with tragedies). Gu Man. Mo Bao... more>> Fei Bao. Jiu Lu Fei Xiang. Celine Gu Xi Jue. Tong Hua (amazing writer, her tragedy novels could make you cry a river) <<less

Favorite romance novels that left a deep impression on me and that I wish that I could always re-read it as new.

1. Some might be TBA dates as some dramas have not been released yet ... more>>

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
