List of My Fav novels. ... more>>

Diff genres (mostly) but in general,  they are all novels with excellent writing.

I read a lot of novels but its always hard for me to remember novels to recommend to my friends.

This list is a compilation of Spice-free, wholesome novels that all get 5 stars from me. Lmk if you know any other good novels!

Note I added novels which I did not finish but based on memory it is still worthy of a trial read

EDIT: JS - for shoujo/romance free novels skip 10-13, 17-21, 23  <<less

1) Store front play an important role

2) Store is present at least for half the duration of the novel

3) MC actively participate store workings.

Novels where the protagonists have a system and tries to develop their farm/pet shop/zoo/restaurant to be the best!

The novels I will recommend here might have romance in them (be it bxg/bxb/gxg), but it won't actually be the main focus. From easy, idle reading to deep and serious. Don't worry, I'll give you heads up in case you don't like some themes in the story. Though it would be your loss coz they are actually good in my opinion.... more>>

But I'm an amateur at best so....

I will indicate if I finished it then some theme to the story that might be informative. But you'll actually see that on the tags. I'll also put in the description for easy decision.  <<less

Why do we like to read these ?... more>>

• To wet our appetite thinking how good does the food taste like. Can think, can't swallow, sad.

• To feel like a chef, when in actuality we can't cook noodles without burning half the kitchen.

• Can cook, looking through all different delicacies and recipes all over the world, just too lazy to move from couch.  <<less

Relaxing reads that sooth the mind.
Rainy mood - classical music in the background - late night - bum days

Get that harem sh*t out of here.... more>>

IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING THIS READING LIST! C= C= C= C= C=┌(;・ω・)┘... more>>

this list has the novels for those who want:

- romance novels (comedic undertone, light reading, lots and lots of FLUFF) 

- no romance novels (where romance doesn't bu*t into an amazing plot and makes you want to dry heave)

- misunderstanding novels (specifically ones that evoke laughter or amus**ent)

warning: all of these novels have (or will have) my opinion and terrible descriptions !! 

i hope you have fun reading

All the stories in this list is my passion but still in the process~

These novels don't have too much excitement, but they are fun in their own ways. ... more>>

Note: a lot will have some fantasy elements (being reborn, getting second chances or having systems). 

Note 2: the list is in no particular order.

Note 3: I only add novels that I personally read and enjoyed. If there are sugestions for more novels, do remind me in the comment section. Each novel has to have at least enough chapters to be able to enjoy reading it for one evening. <<less

May change over time, depending on ending and how the plot develops later on in the story.
