My very own FMC romance scale:... more>>

(1/8) No romance at all, literally zero --- 

(2/8) Very little romance it's basically negligible --- 

(3/8) Some romance but it's not the focus (FMC is the focus still) --- 

(4/8) Equal parts romance to other aspects, but ML is nice so it's alright --- 

(4.5/8) Equal parts romance or ML appears as much as MC but MC is the dominant one/stronger than the ML ---

(5/8) Romance is a big portion of the story or the ML appears as much as the MC and it's not her own story anymore, more like their shared story --- 

(6/8) ML appears so much is the MC even still the protagonist at all?

(7/8) MC is smart but in front of the ML becomes a dumb dumb / MC is strong but in front of ML becomes a doormat - immediate dropping of the story --- 

(7.5/8) MC is strong but ML is stronger and she can't escape his grasp everytime - the imbalance makes me curse and swear --- 

(8/8) MC is totally useless without ML and always needs his saving. Why is she even the MC?

Of course this list won't include all of the above, just up to maybe 3 or 4/8 at most. I just wrote down the scale for my own use. <<less

If you're like me who can't resist temptation of good novels in price of killing sleep, then you're in the right place! These novels are the one which I read by killing my sleep. These are source of great imaginations and entertainment as these leads are very independent and strong. So, let's enjoy these together.... more>>

Because the 1st, 2nd & 3rd list was full and on huge demand, the much-awaited 4th list is here! {Note: Novels that were added on those lists will not be added here! So, if you came here without seeing them first, Go See that 1st!}

And here I'll try to add all the novels whom I liked the most and was beautiful which couldn't fit on the previous lists. 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   <<less

I usually enjoy the romance but sometimes it is really not needed. I've found myself enjoying novela that explore family relationships, the growth of the... more>> female protagonist or her career more than the 2D relationship.  <<less

List of novels that i found with no romance and has a female as the main character.... more>>

Anything that has the tag where a romance can happen is not included in list despite not having the romance genre in the genre list, e.g: josei, handsome male lead, late romance, slow romance, anything with love interest, engagement, marriage, r-18, s*xual relationship, romance sub-plot, yaoi/yuri sub-lot, etc. 

This is for the people who are tired of seeing a female protagonist become a s*upid damsel because of romance.

If you don't mind Fanfic or Gender-bent(male to female) types, I'll also be adding them.

I'll be adding more if I found some in the future and I'll be removing some if the author/s add romance in their work.

This type of novels are really hard to find so anyone who knows a one or two can drop it in the comment.

I'll also be adding what i found in other websites like webnovel or scribblehub in the comment section. <<less

The Misunderstandings tag is very varied and wide so this is gonna be more about the MC's personality and circumstances (e.g. sickly characters, evil but actually good) . The stories in this are gonna be more focused on the situation unless stated otherwise. Also most of this is other people misunderstanding the MC instead of the other way around.... more>>

Just wanted to make this since a lot of this tag is about the MC being seen as very weak while actually being extremely strong or vice versa and I usually don't like those kind of misunderstandings. <<less
