List of novels in my To Read list for my favourite trope, rags to riches! To my best guess anyway since I haven't read them XD. Also usually slice of life. I also put in some untranslated novels from some favourite poor to rich authors from the jjwxc website that I desperately hope someone would translate in the comments T.T... more>>

I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I 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. 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 in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. And the incompleted ones at the back.  Recommendations are very welcome! <<less

Thank you to everyone who made my first list such a hit IMO :') A continuation of all the well-written CN novels I've read and grew fond of!  No order in terms of quality~ ... more>>

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

Priority goes to bold MCs that chase first because usually those are the ones that exhibit such lovable traits. But they won't make up the entire list.  <<less

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):

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/66164/

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 read a lot of historical romance so I'm a bit fussy, well-written leads (who have chemistry) and a decent plot are a must!  Also, cliche tropes are fun once in a while but I prefer things that are a bit more unique.... more>>

This list will include some spicy ones... <<less

You find your own ways on how to find and read it. Plus we each have our own different opinions and perspective in things so my thoughts on the stories are just there to maybe guide you a little bit or something in terms of my own personal view? I dunno, you have your own taste so do I...anyways, as per usual, gonna add some novels from time to time, follow and be updated and check-out my other works or lists on my profile. Thanks. <<less
