Hope you will all like it. :D <<less

I want to read about food. Anyway, I don't care if it's real or fantasy, as long as it sounds tasty, then it's good. I want food to be very important. I want to read about food businesses. I want to read about reactions to sheer deliciousness and comments that praise food to the heavens.... more>>

This list is mostly concerned with food descriptions. Does the food sound tasty? Is food/cooking important? Do people react to the food in a hunger-inspiring way? Is it tasty? Is detail given? Do side characters bite into delicious morsels and wish to ascend to the skies because surely they'll never taste anything better?

I also like business aspects and such, but cooking at home is fine too. Contains het/bl mostly, but this list isn't really concerned with romance. A miscellaneous assortment of novels with some/a lot of focus on food that sounds good. I have other lists for plot. This list is for food.  <<less

Don't you just love reading novels about delicious food of any sort and drooling over the description or the pictures. I do! ... more>>

These novels may not necessarily concentrate on cooking or food but it is a central part of the novels. <<less

Every story that I've already read will be deleted from this list and moved to either the 'okay/dropped' or 'super good' list

This is the continuation for the lists of Gems I have read so far, that will shake up your mind and emotions. I hope you... more>> will enjoy it, as well as I did.  Thank you and good luck. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ <<less

Tem BL, mas não é tudo. <<less

No description.

Ongoing translations for stories. Waiting for the translations to be done before I read. I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. I also like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. Also, I love being able to scroll through and seeing immediately which ones have been completed since I last checked the translations. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations.Not... more>> in any particular order. Recommendations are very welcome!

*I didn't realise how long this list got so I have put the Completed to read novels into another list if anyone wants to check it out, To Read Novels That Are Completely Translated <<less

I'll try to add the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful. You won't regret reading them cause they're really nice.  This list will include korean, chinese, japanese and other novels. Enjoy reading! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o... more>>

P.S: I just created a 2nd list cause this list is full, so if you want more recommendations you can check that list. It will include all novels which didn't fit in the 1st list! Have a great day! <<less

 This list is a continuation of the Not-so-Popular novels (Desires of the Heart 1 & 3 ). I'll keep adding novels from time to time.... more>> Follow and keep updated. Also please check my other list of ( Popular Novels for Newbies ) in my profile. Very much appreciated. <<less

set in ancient times (BG & BL)

novels 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,... more>> etc. in between. It’s too hard to sort them out. <<less

More novels from my repository of eventual rereads.

No description.

❤❤❤❤❤ Listed both BG and BL❤❤❤❤❤

My favorite genre, these are the books that seem to be the best of slice of life. They are feel good novels with low drama. Some are TBR but most of the ones in this list are my favorite slice of life novels. ... more>>

*Read novels are at the bottom. Currently reading are at the top. 

*If you know any that are in the same vein as these, please make sure to leave them in the comments! <<less

As you may have observed, I definitely am a sucker for 'reincarnation & transmigration tropes', some yandere in the happening, with a dash of romance in medieval setting;... more>> and with a pinch of smut & fluff. <<less

My quick one-stop-shop list of HE romances and their endings to choose whether to re-read or not (lol). I usually have reviews for all of them and they're all rated 3 stars+ for me. I skimmed the MTL for the ones that aren't complete in translation.... more>>

**READ NOTES AT YOUR OWN RISK**

Because as this list name implies, the notes will have spoilers for each novel's ending. 

Happy reading!

(Novels are all completed, mix of historical and modern, BG, CN & KN) <<less

This list is centered on child rearing or family interactions. Lighthearted ones i.e. not including those harem w/ babies, adventure novels w/ babies... more>>
