I do not want to publish negative reviews about these novels in novelupdates. Just because I do not like it does not mean the novel is bad. They all have their readers and some good qualities and fairly high ratings.... more>>

 They all picked up my interest initially but then they lost me, so I will not continue reading or reread them.  <<less

There may or may not be a romantic subplot, but overall if I was putting these on bookshelves I wouldn't put them in the romance... more>> section.  <<less

Various genres. I prefer smart, calm, or easy going characters. Not much dog blood found here. All the novels where the translation is incomplete, I finished reading via MTL and found the MTL very understandable. The quality of the novels in this list ranges from 3-stars to 5-stars, but I found them all enjoyable reads and would re-read them again.... more>>

Novels with an actually strong female lead that gets the job done and doesn't really rely on anyone else.

*Novels are not in order.

Genre: BG, BL <<less

No description.

By "good romantic story", at minimum: no bs that isn't justified or explained, or is overly done; romance is not offensive, neither lead being an as*hole to each other; romance that isn't overly dry or has too much drama; leads may be either slightly stereotypes or codependent but at least it's cute and they are not 2d but the sides may be a little; chemistry is good and story plot is mediocre or vice versa... more>>

At best: independent badass leads where the romance is a build up of them doing their own thing and getting to know each other; solid world building; 3d characters all around; fluff that makes you happy and not bored to read; there is actually good plot; there is life beyond romance but the romance makes it nice to read too

Pt 1 is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16574/

Pt 3 (slowly updating):

In no particular order.

Includes: bg/bl romances, enjoyable opness, supernatural, entertainment, fantasy, good fluff, s*x, smut, adventure and/or mystery, etc 

Low-key this list is just me forgetting all these books' plots. Lawl <<less

I won't be reading a lot this year but I'll add my few reads here

WARNING! The review may contained a spoiler. Rank in order. If you see a story with no review, it means I'm not finish reading that story but I can see their potential as "study for better future" theme.

You can find more recommendation in comment or recommend me more story like the criteria! <3 <<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

The romance isn't necessarily the main plot... more>>

Happy ending <<less

some stories i like that have currency-obsessed protagonists. money or points etc this is a numbers game baby

These novels either have a pretty unique plot or character. Or they just make you think back to them a lot.

Absolute gems I LOVED reading :> I usually read BL, but here are some shoujo/josei reads that I would 100% recommend (which speaks a lot... more>> since I'm really picky)!  <<less

Like what the title said. I mostly like to read BL but I would throw in some odd ones here and there ;)

We all know that some novels when MTL'ed can kill a few of your brain cells,  but here are some that I'll willingly sacrifice them... more>> for.   <<less

A collection of my favorite chinese novels, best of the best! 
Rating above 4

P. S. Not in order  <<less

Genre: Romence, Drama, Comedy, Slice of Life

novels that either I finished, felt like I’ve ridden an emotional roller coaster, felt like I’ve gain new insights, became addicted to the point of binge reading it, or feel like my time wasn’t wasted.... more>>

 If romance : unconditional love, devoted love, loyalty, non toxic traits, etc. I love relationships of which who would love each other no matter what or wouldn’t care if the world is against them, and they’re willing to wait for the other even if it meant for an eternity. Or just lovers respecting e/o. I rarely like any harems, not my cup of tea and sometimes would prefer the none-romance route tbh.

If story : the characters, accounting, morals, lessons, plots, world building, rating, the pace, the ending, etc. must be taken into account. If I have no complaints, then the story must be decent.

I’m a naturally picker and have a short attention span reader so it’ll take me a while to actually get immersed into a novel intensely. 

Or just a novel that caught my eyes or I wanna try. 

The novels aren’t in order. So there’ll be Seinen, Shoujo, Shounen-ai, shoujo-ai, kr/jp/ch, mature, lighthearted/heavy material, etc. in between. It’s too hard to sort them out.

I also added some songs that fit the vibes of each novels or characters ^~^) remember to check these cool songs. <<less

It's about the time when an ordinary girl addicted to a romantic novel on a wattpad becomes in love with a translated novel. It's been 6 years after all. How amazing there are so many different genres, different types of MCs, not all about love and not all about good people or heroes.... more>>

Starting with reading all the translated novels that I can be found on wattpad, looking for special sites that translate novels into Indonesian. 

Found "NU" and used Google Translate. It feels like hamster that's never satisfied with putting food on it's cheeks, starts reading MTL and even looking for RAW. <<less
