3. released drama first, unreleased near the end.

4. Novel rating is subjective and will not be in any order.

Decent novels that are a bit realistic. They seem more down to earth and portray what it was like in ancient times. A nice writing style makes all the difference.... more>>

This is in no particular order. <<less

This is one of my favorite genre. From modern era to ancient times, I enjoy to see MC's growth over time after struggling to adapt... more>> to a new environment in the beginning. It's not easy to time travel to ancient times where man is dominant and woman is only a tool to satisfy her husband or to bear a child. I love that most of female leads in these novel is clever and strong. They are not easy to yield and they also try so hard to change their fate. <<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

choose wisely. some are r18, some are r13, and some are all ages.

My most recent obsession in novels. I love that heart wrenching moment when the protagonist has to decide between their past and her future. The first time I came across this theme was in the manga Basara (which I highly recommend as well) and it made a huge emotional impact on me. The defining part for me is whether they can forgive each other.... more>>

These types of novels don't always have a happy ending, but they always level me wanting more. <<less

Ancient and modern Chinese novels that have been adapted into drama. 

This is a list of novels where the FL ended with the better ML. Some of them was originally attached to one male lead (even we... more>> can see that it was a ship of those two, but later she ended with another ML, which is better and more devoted). <<less

Completed Romance transmigration and rebirth novels that are hella good!!

Needs a revamp! I have some titles to add/delete >-<... more>>

(This might be getting a tad bit ridiculous. If you want to skip isekai/reincarnation, you should just skip the titles that has ‘villain/villainess/villainous’. I found more interesting stories than I expected. @@)

Or nvm.

1-19 Modern Setting

17-23 Short Stories

Here is a list of the stories I made Relationship Diagrams for, along with the links to those diagrams (view the notes for each by clicking "more" under them). I typically make diagrams for stories with complicated family trees and interpersonal relationships. This helps remind me of who a character is in stories with slow release schedules, a large casts of characters, and/or similar names.... more>>

*WARNING* - These diagrams are updated to the latest chapter that I have read. That means that they will likely include some spoilers if you are not on the same chapter as I am. I typically do not update completed stories after their climax, so as not to ruin the ending.

Some of the diagrams are not up to date to the latest releases, as I have fallen behind in reading those stories. If you see any errors please let me know in the comments to this list. <<less

List of novel im reading now 

I love these novel, enjoying how the translator (and of course the author) write and recommend to others. 

Every story that I've already read will be deleted from this list and moved to either the 'just okay/dropped' or 'so good' list

I love to read stories with good plots, strong setting, realistic characters and smart, calm protagonists. Readers with same preference should be able to enjoy... more>> my list <<less

Not all strong characters are enjoyable to read, some of them are too exaggerate and make us cringe just like when we watch a drama with bad acting skill... more>>
