i don't believe in the glorification of mu*der but i do believe in the empowerment of women

These are list of novels I’ve read for the past 3 years of discovering novel updates. These are gems and, and novels I love to read. ... more>>

Some of them are completely translated though the remaining are still under translation you can easily understand the MTLed version. 

The novels listed below are not particularly in order. I’ll add more once I found those novels I forgot to save 2 years ago. 

Hope this list will help you choose great novels to read.

You can also comment your novel suggestions so that others can enjoy it too!  HAPPY READING!! <<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

I read both male and female protagonist novels and here are the novels where I was like "Damn, that sh*t good."... more>>

This is also your local novel drug store. Proceed with caution.

RANKING IS DEAD. It's too annoying to rank these novels because they all have their good points. :) <<less

Novels with great fem protag that I would like to recommend~ for some of the JP ones that only have few chapters translated, I chose... more>> the ones that I have read further in the raw and found them to be great! <<less

Created this list to keep track of my favorite completed novels that I've read.  Some of these I like a lot more than others, but I'm too lazy to split them into multiple lists.  If anyone else finds it useful, then that's an added bonus :) - fair warning, a lot of these novels follow similar, if not the same, cliches and tropes, but that's what I like to read. *shrug*... more>>

Also, all have happy endings.  I hate reading a really good novel only to have it ruined with a depressing ending.

Some of these novels are not showing as complete on NU, but are completed elsewhere, so I'm including them.

I'll add notes/comments as I feel like it - some notes are just key points/words to remind me which novel it is.

I'm going to add any other novels I really love, but aren't on NU in the comments for tracking purposes.

BL novels listed separately.

Smut with plot also listed separately now - this is not saying that there is no smut/NSFW in the novels on this list, just moved any novels where smut seemed to be the main focus.

Also moved some to a new list for novels that I did enjoy reading, but probably won't read again (just to keep track of what I've read without adding to this list).  So I guess "favorite" = "worth rereading"

Just started Part 2 of this list - may sort them by genre or something later: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87122/?ft=yes <<less

Male lead has either obvious or hidden illness/disability/sickness/is dying and this is significant to the plot. Let waifu take care of you! (idk why I love this trope so much). 
Also check out my other list "My Waifu is Sick" for MC's with illness/disabilities... more>>

Historical Novel I have read

Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/9169/?ft=yes... more>>

Honestly just a cluster of different stories that fall under this title that I enjoyed. I love humorous stories, so you will notice that is a theme. I also like mu*der mysteries, transmigration, some otome/villainess, and gaming genres. This is my first list, so it is fairly unorganized but I left comments on a few directly relating them to others. Note that some of these stories start out fairly serious and do not become fluffy or comedic till much later in the reading. Feel free to comment any recommendations you may have for me after seeing my preferences! It is greatly appreciated. 

During my free time, I’ll add scores between 1-5 on how worthwhile they are to read. 1) Only read if you’re bored to absolute tears; 2) it’s an okay read, some dissatisfying parts, not a priority at all; 3) Not particularly bad or good, just something to pass the time when you have a long trip (it won’t feel like an absolute waste of time or make you feel particularly dissatisfied after reading); 4) Good read that you should read; 5) Excellent/MUST read. If the score contains a .5, then it could go in either direction of the whole numbers it’s closest to. Keep in mind, none of the novels listed here are awful. Some are definitely better than others, but all of them have their own merits.  <<less

This reading list contains completely translated novels and easily MTL novels that aren't completely translated but already completed in the raws. Enjoy~~

This reading list includes novels which can be focus on revenge after rebirth, power struggle for imperial throne, cultivation, pill refining, beast taming, etc. as long as the setting is Ancient China.... more>>

(The novels here do not include stories with major misunderstandings. In addition, it usually have possessive but doting MLs *wink*)  <<less

Gradual development of chemistry between MC and ML. Not rushed, no bland characters. Sweet, fluff and interesting. NO LOVE TRIANGLES. Like really fed up of plots were FL catches attention of ML and without rhyme or reason he is attracted to FL INSTANTLY.... more>>

 Basically typical rebirth/transmigrated  type of protagonist betrayed by her lover and stepped upon by her half sisters seeking out for revenge and catching the attention of 7th or 9th cold aloof general like prince are filtered out from this list. Like the thing is 'revenge' is more in light than romance part which is rather bland. <<less

Long novels with more than 150 chapters. Has bl, romance, and long af fantasy/scifi novels. Quality kind of guaranteed, negative points can still be acceptable (actually, no but yes but you can handle it). Sad endings not included. But some of the extremely long ones tend to get repetitive and a tad bit boring by the end. The 2nd to 24th book follows the pattern bl-bg-ml and each set has at least one lighthearted read so I don't get sick of reading. If I get bored halfway, I'll pause and read shorter novels as a palate cleanser... more>>

No matter what kind of relationship, LGBTQ or not, familial affection, everything can be fluffy!

But sometimes I don't want it too sweet, so there's some novels which are sweet, but without much fluff.
