No bs toxic love stories (unless it's literally too addictive but those will be noted) with illogical leads, inconsistent storylines, abusive MC's for no reason, no dumb leads, nothing overly cringy, no excessive dogblood or drama, nothing overly boring as well, no misogyny if I can help it etc. These are bg/bl books where the leads HAVE TO TREAT EACH OTHER WELL. Or at least change in that direction. That is the base line. Cliches and Opness are accepted here as long as they are enjoyable to read and are well executed. ... more>>

I have a tendency to like more mature love where the characters both have a LIFE and may like each other on the side-- most will be like that. A few will be sweet, very charming romances that make you feel respected / happy.

These are all the Romances that come highly recommended and have been on my radar. Ended up being quite an eclectic mix though. Enjoy!... more>>

Note: Obviously this list will frequently change. The novels are later either moved to my "New Favorite Historical Romance of 2022" list or my "Put on ice" list.

Latest moves:

      - New Favorite HR: Who cares?; The Imperial guard’s revenge; Royal Road; Villainess won’t let the main lead break up

      - Novels Put on ice:  <<less

Novels that have made a big impact on me. Novels that I still keep thinking about. Hope you enjoy them!... more>>

Also,  I considered these as gems because of:

Solid plot | Incredible world building | Character growth (MCs and also side characters) | Beautifully written  (rhetorics and narratives)| Touches on morality and complex human emotions <<less

I just put some of the Slice of Life novels I enjoined into a list

Storyline at least good enough. ... more>>

Good day ladies and gents, these are CN historical novels that I never regret reading in no particular order.

This is all the ancient novel that i enjoy reading, some of it i already finished and some of it, i still reading.... more>>

I read all this books while keeping in mind that this is a fiction and in ancient setting. So, even there are parts that might be disturbing, i disagree with the characters thoughts, full of red flags and toxic characters, if that make a great story and make senses in this ancient setting, then i will still enjoy it and would put it in this list. <<less

Read, reading and future reads.... more>>
