Life’s hard, man. In this rec, you’ll find novels with characters that move forward from their tragic past and from societal standards, characters that find a way to live for themselves despite a system, plot, entity, or life from preventing them to do so. ... more>>

This list includes strong, courageous characters that disobey the system, original plot line, and fate through the ability to think and desire to choose their own happy ending. From world hopping to transmigration novels, these characters have dignity, grit, and values - both of which they are not willing to break regardless of what a system or entity says. 

-  includes transmigration novels where the characters struggles, suffers, or is punished for disobeying the original plot line; and characters who are able to fight the charms and effects of their own system and other people’s systems

- includes characters with grit and defiance to fate: characters that have been reborn or transmigrated way too many times, characters in game and different worlds that are trying to survive and find their own happy ending, despite the plot and other characters preventing them from doing so

- includes characters who portray growth; includes characters who are able to make peace with their past and move forward and find their own happiness <<less

These are all novels that I enjoy, some of them may not suit your taste.

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

I don’t think I’ll be doing a lot of reading this year but so far I’ve read 4 novels already and I need a place... more>> to note them down <<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

Some interesting Male & Female​Protagonist settings with a system. 

for the people who are tired of face-slapping actresses, miracle medical geniuses, and gamer girls, aka the typical "novel" occupations 
most are 4+ stars; ordered by my read completion date (some are to-reads)... more>>

includes: fml and ml's occupations + my rating of how well career plays into the story + my review (if I've read it) 

My career-and-plot-integration rating criteria:

1- career is a feature of the fml's backstory and/or character setup; there's no function other than a way to meet other characters or cause drama; no actual work seems to be put into it; miscomprehension of the concept of a career

2- career is said to be important/life-long passion but is not delved upon beyond the surface level; may be prominent in an arc or two but is forgotten in most other chapters; instead of a romantic subplot, it's a work subplot; unrealistic depictions of career

3- career is somewhat important in fml's daily life; is mentioned consistently throughout the story but other things hold precedence; fml occasionally puts in some hard effort; partially realistic depictions of career

4- career is very important to the fml and she works hard on it; it may at times surpass the importance of other things like romance or personal wellbeing; obvious professional knowledge is referenced; mostly accurate depictions of career <<less
