Not in order of preference but I definitely enjoyed reading these novels. 

Novels put on the back-burner or simply dropped. 

Mixed bag. Basically transmigration and rebirth novels who have a better life (somewhat) for the second time, whether through revenge or just living a peaceful life while falling in love. ... more>>

Not only “Transmigrated into novels” type of story , but also stories who in their past life seems like they were a villain or cannon fodder who died unjustly. <<less

The four arts (四藝, siyi), or the four arts of the Chinese scholar, were the four main academic and artistic accomplishments required of the aristocratic ancient Chinese scholar-gentleman. They are qin (the guqin, a stringed instrument, 琴), qi (the strategy game of Go, 棋), shu (Chinese calligraphy, 書) and hua (Chinese painting, 畫), and are also referred to by listing all four: 琴棋書畫; qínqíshūhuà.

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

novels that I really like. reason: interesting plot, lovable character, or fluffy and funny scenes.

Just because it is cute and funny or has a standard plot, doesn't mean it has to be dimwitted or break your brain. Romance novels... more>> that aren't the brightest lightbulbs on the ceiling and you wouldn't want them any other way. <<less

Involves transmigrated (to another world), reborn (as another person in the same world) or rebirthed (second life) characters who did better than their previous counterparts.... more>>

May be light, sweet, heavy, angst, comedic, or anything in-between. Adventure, fantasy, action, romance, what have you. Characters may be OP or not, female or male, and may even be gender-bent (which is the closest I could get to slash).

The bottomline is parallel world and characters that are given a second chance. Of course, the plot should also be convincing. Hence, while I've already read lots of transmigrated / rebirthed characters, placed here are only my recommended ones.

Note: List done alphabetically to prevent bias. Will be updated from time to time. <<less
