A combine of cn novel with good plot and historical genres, can be abit long for those enjoy long story

Most of these novels are about transmigrated and reincarnated women. They are kinda OP (some in luck, intelligence, strength, magic etc.).

All stuff I've read till the end and ranked by personal preference. The ones at the front are more accurate, the ones at the end are unsorted. ... more>>

My preference: Meandering slow-burn novels like Mao Ni's stuff get extra points. Harem/romance/face-slapping power fantasies get minus points. Completed novels get bonus points, and terrible endings get points knocked off. Also plus points for character building friends/family/enemies and down points for solo yolo.

English ones not included in rankings: Worm, Pact, Mother of Learning, The Perfect Run, Twig, Lightning is the Only Way, Master this Poor Disciple Died Again Today, Unable to Cultivate I can only Raise Soul Pets

MTL-only: Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind the Scenes <<less
