Some of them are completely translated though the remaining are still under translation you can easily understand the MTLed version. 

The novels listed below are not particularly in order. I’ll add more once I found those novels I forgot to save 2 years ago. 

Hope this list will help you choose great novels to read.

You can also comment your novel suggestions so that others can enjoy it too!  HAPPY READING!! <<less

Stories in which female protagonists and others are hopefully not one-dimensional i.e. just ruthless, just silly, high-IQ/low-EQ. Side characters (mostly) have lives outside of the protagonist and/or male lead. Villains aren’t downright TSTL. ... more>>

Part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/9169/?ft=yes... more>>

Honestly just a cluster of different stories that fall under this title that I enjoyed. I love humorous stories, so you will notice that is a theme. I also like mu*der mysteries, transmigration, some otome/villainess, and gaming genres. This is my first list, so it is fairly unorganized but I left comments on a few directly relating them to others. Note that some of these stories start out fairly serious and do not become fluffy or comedic till much later in the reading. Feel free to comment any recommendations you may have for me after seeing my preferences! It is greatly appreciated. 

During my free time, I’ll add scores between 1-5 on how worthwhile they are to read. 1) Only read if you’re bored to absolute tears; 2) it’s an okay read, some dissatisfying parts, not a priority at all; 3) Not particularly bad or good, just something to pass the time when you have a long trip (it won’t feel like an absolute waste of time or make you feel particularly dissatisfied after reading); 4) Good read that you should read; 5) Excellent/MUST read. If the score contains a .5, then it could go in either direction of the whole numbers it’s closest to. Keep in mind, none of the novels listed here are awful. Some are definitely better than others, but all of them have their own merits.  <<less

Different genres, some i have read the novel or manhwa version and some are just added because of the FL's hair color. <<less

No description.

Stories where the ML regrets rejecting/mistreating/leaving the MC. Some examples include:... more>>

1) MC has an unrequited love for the ML and gets rejected.

2) ML breaks up / leaves / divorces MC (for someone else, got tired of the relationship etc).

3) Character 2 mistreats or is very indifferent to MC.

Either way, ML realises he's loved MC all along, regrets his decision, and tries to win her back but she's either 1) moved on with someone else 2) too emotionally closed off 3) MIA 4) dead. Or maybe ML does win her back, who knows.

But basically this list is full of A N G S T

(Can be BL and GL too) <<less
