RANDOM ORDER

One that I could re-read again;especially if I dont have any idea what to read next.

A list of my favorite novels in no particular order.  Mostly contains completed works with some exceptions. It also contains some short stories that I've read and liked.... more>>

What I look for in a good novel is: logical plot, good pacing, character development and concise descriptions. I'm also a sucker for a weak-to-strong character growth, good action, and romance that actually develops instead of mindless harems.

What I hate in novels is: insane repetition of content to meet character counts, idiotic MCs that make you go "why are they doing this?", or cliche/tedious formulas that endlessly repeat such as:

>> Queue entrance of super strong Villain A that identifies MC as lowly tr*sh and causes trouble

>> MC decides to start fighting while the surrounding audience goes "wow, this fool dares fight with Villain A?!?"

>> Everyone proceeds to shout out the names of their techniques, which sound "seemingly more epic" as the battle goes on

>> Villain grits teeth and uses ultimate move. MC's pupils contract and his expression pales. Audience goes "OMG, I can't believe he forced villain A to use <epic move>?!"

>> MC somehow breaks through bottleneck mid battle and wins

>> Villain coughs up a mouthful of blood with disbelief written on his face

>> Suddenly Villain B, Villain A's father enters the scene and shouts "how dare you harm Villain A?!"

>> Go back to the top and repeat... <<less

This is just my taste so don't judge me

Novels a native English speaker can read without feeling like broken glass is being poured into their metaphorical ears.... more>>

Obviously not exhaustive. <<less

I find television to be very educational. Every time someone turns it on, I go into the other room and read a book.

Just a list of novels with a strong romantic element from the perspective of a male. I find it hard to search for these explicitly since most novels categorized under the romance genre tend to be with female leads, and I personally have a hard time relating to their perspective. ... more>>

Some of the novels that are actually tagged with Male Protagonist and Romance are absolutely abysmal and should really not have the latter tag for a slew of reasons (e.g. Library of Heaven's Path). Typical cases I've seen are where characters might strongly pursue each other initially, but after they "get together" by establishing a relationship, they get too embarrassed to hold hands or have any physical progression (for like hundreds of years in the case of many Chinese cultivation novels). It's such a weird juxtaposition to see because in these fantasy type novels, as you'll see 95% of non-plot related characters around the MC depicted as lecherous, trying to r*pe every woman around them, but the MC himself would be too pure/innocent/dumb to have a single s*xual thought or action towards women he's close with. I would just like to see a normal relationship. These latter types of novels are what I'm trying to filter out of this list.

Note: This only includes the novels (including short stories) that I have read and have really enjoyed the romance aspect of it, even if the other elements are lacking or the book was potentially bad overall. <<less

Started reading novels since 2016 and this list reflects all things I've read.

Some novels from my favorite author and ones which are similar to the same genre.

Mostly completed novels because cliffhanger in angst wont ever let me live my life in peace... more>>

Tw: Many of these novels may contain mention of self harm, depression, bullying, abuse, r*pe and su*cide. So, please please read reviews and tags properly before picking up a novel.  <<less

Unranked.

everything here's finished; basically my planning to read list

the title. It's literally all romance because I can't stomach reading anything else. There are various kinds of romance here, so if you're just looking for fluff/sugar go look at my other list. This is just what I enjoy the most. (todo im updating other list rn). ... more>>

edit: in hindsight there may be a few things that aren't romance but it's pretty much all romance don't worry about it <<less

if your bored read this list, it will entertain you trust... more>>

PS: Mount Tai

if you guys have anything to say, feel free to say it in the comments. This list is more inclined toward romance but it does have some books that are Action only or MC only and have no romance.

There is no order, almost all if not all books are pretty good to most people

this list does include BL but it's only like once or twice! <<less

GENRES: either Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Psychological, Tragedy... more>>

A compilation of my favorites that give the melancholic and/or dark vibe in alphabetical order. No worries it becomes wholesome in the end—well, most of them do, anyway. Maybe. Who knows?
*will update when I find and read new interesting ones <<less

Genre: Psychological, Mystery... more>>

Psychological: 1-16
Mystery: 17-37 <<less

No description.

title says it all

At what age does a person have to be before his love can be justified?... more>>

the list contains an older FL/ML with atleast 3 years age gap. There is joy in age gap.

When FL is older than him, ML is usually a loyal and clingy puppy. 

Whilst,

When ML is older than her, FL is treated and pampered like a baby.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste as mine.
