(haven’t read all of these yet)

pls recommend some good novels T T <<less

These are novels amongst the countless KR novels I read, where I wouldn't feel bad for recommending them to someone getting into KR novels. I have ranked these, so you may notice how some of the novels I rated higher are ranked lower than novels I rated lower.(I really hope that sentence made sense. [ranking = #1, #2, #3, etc...] and [rating = 9.1/10, etc...]) ... more>>

This is because I am also factoring an enjoyment factor when I ranked these. I read web novels because it's fun, it doesn't have to be very sophisticated for me. If you're looking for exactly that, I suggest "Pride and Prejudice".  <<less

(There is no sequence to the list; just random stuff that I liked from the first impression, it can be either 'novel name' or 'description' or just the 'profile photo' -based.)

(I am making this list public, if I don't like any of the novel then I might delete it from the list.)

Good novels that you’ll find on the series ranking and underrated gems.

Brief description of my recommended list will be that it's mostly randomized in genre and not in ranking. I prefer to read action, adventure and camaraderie. I read BL but you'll also be able to see het pairs. I will diligently try to make small comments on the novels that I will put in here as well as my status and how many times i drop and reread the series until completion or latest update.... more>>

Also, the ADHD mention is Undiagnosed but possible cause my attention span is really bad...

Some terminologies I might use while making small comments (will be updated if needed to be):

-FuwaFuwa = stories that have elements, characters, or pairing that are lighthearted or I cheer for them while I read them.

- LR = "Last Read" chapter. |  #oHT = "# of head turn or how many times I actually dropped this to read another story"  |  TiTtR = "Time it Took to Read" |  #oRR = "# of ReReads" 

This list won't be for you if you're looking for wuxia and xianxia. Mostly cause my head can't grasp the terminologies rather than disliking the plot. There would be stories that brush upon them but none that focuses on them so far. <<less
