Recently I have been back into my Chinese drama phase and I have noticed how many of my favorite novels have been adapted to drama so here we go listing all the source novels for these dramas. ... more>>

I will also mention some dramas that are upcoming or yet to be broadcasted those would be specified too.

Every drama mentioned here has been subbed in English.

To know the legal sites to watch these dramas I will be mentioning which all are available on YouTube(most dramas are available to watch for free only Iqiyi dramas need VIP to watch the rest of the episodes ) mostly it will be Iqiyi , Youku , Tencent (WeTv) , Mango channel , Hunan TV (all these channels are there on YouTube )otherwise some of them are available in Viki or Netflix to know alternative legal streaming sites please check My drama list .  com 

Also for Iqiyi you will have to pay memberships fees to watch dramas after the first 2 free episodes.

For personal reference/rereading. Mostly plot focus & serious favs, with solid writing/characterisations/overarching plot. Any pairings (mostly bl/het), but not many harem/stallion novels. Mostly CN/KR novels for dialogue. Roughly sorted, many genres, no/low spoilers.... more>>

I prefer wuxia over xianxia, tragedy over fluff, etc. Some less serious/non-plot-focused novels included/marked for their definitive traits.
Personal genre/trait favs: comedy, tragedy, historical, mystery, psychological, scifi, realistic, mature, bittersweet, wuxia, delinquents, strategies/war, empire building, betrayal, food.   <<less

We all know that some novels when MTL'ed can kill a few of your brain cells,  but here are some that I'll willingly sacrifice them... more>> for.   <<less

Brain gets scrambled pretty badly if you go for MTL novels but what can I say? Some novels are just worth the pain.... more>>

Here’s a selection of novels that haven’t been fully translated yet but this of you that for the sake of knowing the plot development (and when the antagonists will get their deserved face slapping) don’t mind a bit of pain.

Only BG, mostly historical, often revenge/rebirth sub-genre.

Please make sure you still support the original translator once new chapters are released. <<less

Im a very picky reader and these novels are one of my favs with great plot, character development, characterization with no s*upid ML or FL, accompanied with reasonable ability and way of thinking, and of course the plus points are its great cover, lol.... more>>

Mostly highly rated, >4.0 <<less

Decided to start keeping track of novels that were adapted to TV dramas!... more>>

Often I ended up watching the drama before reading the books, which in some cases is good, some other times is actually bad as the story is more fleshed out in the drama itself.

I’m not going to give a review of the novel and/or drama it’s been adapted to, but I’m going to give a score based on how similar is the drama to the novel (and viceversa) based on what I’ve read.
⭐️ = significant changes to the story and the characters  ⭐️⭐️ = some changes to the some events in the story and the characters but main story plot is maintained ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = both the story and the characters remain true to the novel

Unrated novels is because I either haven't read the novel or haven't watched the drama so wouldn't be able to provide an accurate analysis. <<less
