In the description, "talented" means the FL has natural talent in it and can cultivate the skill quickly. "good at" means FL achieved the skill mainly through through long training period, even when the FL does have talent in it.

The four arts (四藝, siyi), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic accomplishments required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They are qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.

All novels that I did not put in my other list/belongs in here. I enjoyed most of them as I definitely did read enough chapters to add these here.... more>>

Though  these reasons are not simply negative though as some good novels are here ---- reasons these may be here:

(a) Dropped because not good enough, not to my taste, too boring, was mistaken of the story, or I enjoyed them without thinking of the quality itself (b) Not bad, but reading-on-hold for now, (c) Hiatus, Stopped novels (d) Enjoyed and read but not good enough (e) Locked behind paywall so I put aside for now because I'm paying for other things (e) Not translated yet or only read the start so I have initial impressions (which may be neutral or has some negative in it, for example: Dungeon defense WN as I inevitably get somewhat disappointed it isn't more like the LN) 

My list for books the have passed a 'quality' muster: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16488/?ft=yes?st=1 <<less

completed novels w female MCs

No description.

That certain type of (chinese) romance novel with a (often transmigrated) female lead, who's capable, talented and overall badass, and a (handsome and equally capable) doting male lead who'd do anything for her (Alternative Title: Wife-s*aves FTW). Generally, the male lead falls in love first, children between the two are optional (if there are, they are sometimes born before the story starts) and either one of them or both tend to attract several "flies"... more>>

The actual quality of the stories vary wildly, but these are the ones I consider "readable" (in no particular order really). Meaning, aside from how good the story itself is, the Female and Male Lead should have a healthy relationship; So no "he r*ped me so now I'm in love with him even though he treats me like shit" or bullsh*t like that. If something like that happens later in the story, I'll remove the entry.
("accidental r*pe", where one or both parties have consumed aphrodisiacs unknowingly/against their will or similar situations are a grey area and judged on a case to case basis) <<less
