the best novels in the ancient china / reincarnation / transmigration genre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recommend all of the things in this list, though it’s quite varied in genre. I would say the top 60 ish here have been... more>> properly ranked, below that I don’t really care for but would still recommend if you have nothing left to read. <<less

It starts when they are young 
(maybe a chance encounter)... more>>

Generally mc is the light and ml is the one chasing it.

Then they grow up.

Why do the mls turn out yandere kinda hoho

about half Japanese then its split between Chinese and Korean, reincarnation/transmigration tends to have them going back in time/starting young <<less

I'm a very picky reader, here are a list of all the novels that were very good to me. It includes different genre from historical... more>> to modern to yuri/yaoi. One thing they have in common is the good plots. I'll keep updating the list once i finish any interesting ones <<less

Historical Novel I have read

MUST-READ novels. ... more>>

They're timeless and worth rereading. <<less

There exists no rankings.

I've scoured the internet universe so you don't have to look for every nook and cranny for a satisfactory Josei + novel!... more>>

 Included: source for the rest of the chapters if completed and personal reviews! Enjoy!

Most of the novels have a Josei genre, but some are smut, xianxia and shounen.  <<less

Waiting for more chapters/completion.

I read a lot of historical romance so I'm a bit fussy, well-written leads (who have chemistry) and a decent plot are a must!  Also, cliche tropes are fun once in a while but I prefer things that are a bit more unique.... more>>

This list will include some spicy ones... <<less

No description.

we still have a long way to go, dear comrades...
but you can be sure that I will always by your side.. ... more>>

i need to make this list because the stories description is interesting but the translation is far from complete, im afraid that i ll forget them :( <<less

I am always  looking for MC's who seem who I can relate with or find endearing. So this is the list of my favorite MC's.... more>>

As long as it's good stuff, i'll add it here. There are many genres and if there isn't one full translated then it's ok to... more>> MTL it. <<less

These ancient Chinese historical stories not only have a satisfying romance (thus far), but they also include plots of politics and other deep topics (such as social commentary). Most* of these also have good/excellent translations and writing! Notes are included to highlight what I like (and don't exactly like) about each title. All of these have female protagonists. Most stories are either completely translated or have regular updates. List is more or less in order of what I like the most and find most fun to read, all the way down to ones that don't entice strong reactions for me but I like them enough to list them.... more>>

*There is at least one title on this list that I have dropped. I have noted it, but still left it as is I liked the first part of the novel well-enough to warrant a place on this list. There are at least two MTL'ed stories on this list as well. <<less

✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived  my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.... more>>

PS: The others novels I liked, but not enough to be featured here, are in my yearly "New Favorite Historical Romances" lists. <<less

Either BG or no couple. FL always. Cute, fluff, romance, action, drama, whatever! Only one thing remains in common- an amazing FL!... more>>

[Note: The only one in order is the first one, and after that, there is no particular ordering! Another way to say it: Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder’s Record of Counterattacks is #1 and everything else falls into the same bucket :) ] <<less

Stories I wholeheartedly recommend! These generally feature intelligent characters and interesting relationship dynamics, and may include long, plotty novels as well as short slice-of-life novellas... more>> and everything in between. I'm including books with straight as well as queer romances, or none at all - my only major criterion is that it's genuinely good! <<less
