For more recommendations, check out my next list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/83142/ <<less

There are so many amazing works that feature regressed MCs that are going through a second chance in management, corporate ladders, sports, cooking, etc. Definitely stronger list than the second chance in fantasy. Wanted to make a list that specifically targets this genre.... more>>

First, some of the best that aren't on NU:
1. Trailer tr*sh - wonderful depiction of a second chance high school life with strongly developed characters
2. Metaworld chronicles - only barely qualifies because it's really a fantasy world, but it's an alternate modern day Earth, with great detail and development of cultures and places and set in a modern society, if magic based
3. Let me make you a star - [have not yet read] but has good ratings, comment if you've had a chance to read it!

In addition, there are a number of great drama/TV shows (JP, CN and KR) of second chances that I highly recommend if you like this genre. I've added them in a comment below the list.

If you enjoy second chances, you can also try my other lists on:
- Second chances in fantasy (https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10749/)
- Time loops (includes movies and webnovels not on NU - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10681/) <<less

i like them for very specific reasons. (i often edit my reviews/switch orders, as a heads up)

I'm a very picky reader who often skimmed through many chapters and sometimes wouldn't even read til the end, unless imo the novel is really, really that good. And this is my list of the best BxG romance with female protagonist and more than 4 ⭐ ratings.... more>>

Do please take note though, most of these novels are still being translated into English so I usually finished 'em by MTL. <<less

Note: All novels are rated above 4* and you can be rest assured to find some hidden gems here >o^... more>>

Okay, let's be realistic everyone~ ^v^ Human beings are not of the same mold, shape or size hence everyone's bound to have different preferences in some kind of form. Therefore, here I dutifully present to you my collection of novels that have had made the most impression on me and I can only hope that you may find THE ONE from this list.

PS. I personally love good quality reads that has a decent plot line and good character developments, as well as great translation work lest I have to destroy my brain cells haha Xd <<less

This is just based on my taste. Lol There might be something related to system, ancient, modern, world-hopping, transmigration, and the likes. ... more>>

This is in no particular order. I’ve been reading for years now so I cannot remember all. But if it’s in here, it’s remarkable to me.

I MTL-ed some of these. I’ll also update it once I encounter new good novels or remember some. Lo

20201201 - I’ll comment those novels I found and MTL-ed. Lol hopefully those will get translated.

Descriptions will include: Rating (if 4☆ or 5☆), descriptions of the children in the story, novel summary, and short personal comments on the novel. Since I have to describe the kids, prepare for mild spoilers.

Contains both completely translated works and novels that I MTLed and finished. Check the comments too for more stuff not yet in NU.

Some of the best Novels I’ve ever read, complete with a little review <3

This is a list of all the novels that I have read with a female protagonist. Most of them have romance. Everything on this list has a happy ending of course. Some are more slice of life and some are very dramatic, but in the end these novels all left a good impression on me.... more>>

Not all the novels on this list are equally good. Some are okay, some are good, some are loved a lot. Nevertheless, I managed to complete them, so that means they're all readable.

For novels that are my absolute favourites which are those that I will reread many times, I will mark them with a "Best-Loved" award.

Some may get a "Honorable Mention" if they don't quite make it to Best-Loved, but they do stand out from the rest.

I will try my best to leave my impression of the novel in the comments. For some novels I will only say it's an enjoyable read which means for some reason or another they don't make the Best-Loved or Honorable Mentions list.

Acronyms I use often include FL aka female lead (also MC aka main character) and ML aka male lead. <<less

IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THIS READING LIST! C= C= C= C= C=┌(;・ω・)┘... more>>

this list has the novels for those who want:

- romance novels (comedic undertone, light reading, lots and lots of FLUFF) 

- no romance novels (where romance doesn't bu*t into an amazing plot and makes you want to dry heave)

- misunderstanding novels (specifically ones that evoke laughter or amus**ent)

warning: all of these novels have (or will have) my opinion and terrible descriptions !! 

i hope you have fun reading 

(*￣▽￣)b <<less

There are the books that you read after hours and leave satisfied; not thinking that you wasted so much time but felt enriched and full from the stories. They are not quick transmigration books and easy fun reads- but ones that are with depth, full of careful thought and meaning, as well showcasing different types of love that can be found in this world. ... more>>

Maybe you're looking for a quick read or any read to past the time but you don't want to feel regret reading the whole day- this is the collection for you. These are the books that once you put down- you call up a family member or loved one to talk about life. They are all romance but moreso about romance in life, within people, and in the world.

This is a gift to all the readers- may you have a space to return with stories and lives that comfort you, remind you of different times in your lives when you read certain stories, and give you a sense of fullness after each read. 

Full of my own personal filled with love thoughts and review with a brief sentence of what the book felt like to me visually. Sorting is on purpose and intentional. I love any feedback in order to make it even better :) <<less

Just some novels I have finished/currently reading and enjoyed them a lot! Hopefully you can find something new or share similar interest! (novels in no... more>> particular order) adding novels I plan to read. Let me know if any of those are good :) <<less

Can't think of a name

As a man, I am not interested in shoujo novels in general... However, there are some that I've dared to try out that I've quite enjoyed. Here's a list!... more>>

Some I've admittedly not yet tried but soon intend to do so since they look like they would appeal, so my confidence level in the appeal is high for the first 15 titles, and... more experimental for the following...

Also, check out:
- The calamity of a reborn witch on RRL, it's a really great novel

I welcome thoughts and comments, particularly on ranking, additions and unsuitable novels for this list. <<less

Don't expect many harems with characters who can't think for themselves or fall in love with the MC before page 1. Many might have a slow moving plot... have to invest yourself into the characters to find the tragic, beautiful and poignant!... more>>

First, some English original webnovels that are superb and easily googleable (in order of best characters, not necessarily plot): 
1. Trailer tr*sh
2. Iron Teeth
3. Castle Kingside (rewrite)
4. Metaworld Chronicles
5. The Good Student
6. Worm (Parahumans)
7. AnimeCon Harem (18+)
8. Mother of Learning
9. Selena's Reign
10. Double Blind: A modern litRPG
11. Tidal Lock (unfinished)

Note that I've been recently pruning and updating the list to remove some that were just good stories with average characters and move them over to new lists that are top of their genre. You can see all my rec lists at https://www.novelupdates.com/user/10378/tallrice/ <<less

BG novels I have on my lists. ... more>>

Mostly consists of FMCs but here and there, there might be MMCs. 

Note: When I have finished a novel or I have time, I will update certain novels with a description.  <<less

No description.

These are romance novels with various kinds of varieties that I have read and have not read that I find interesting and happen to have the urge to share it to you guys just bc I find it a waste to haggle all of these treasures for myself. ... more>>

The novels you're gonna be seeing here are of course, romance novels, that are straight and are either realistic, fluffy, no dog-blood drama and 109876 chapters spent to resolve misunderstandings, no 5 men chasing after the protagonist, no male lead with 1000 concubines, makes sense to at least at the bear minimum, light-hearted, or some philosophical really deep stuff(though rarely). But mostly, it's gonna be more about fluff, light-hearted and more focused on romance.

----------

Found out there's a limit on how much you could add on the list so... I'm gonna be making a Recommendation list no. 2!
