All completed and fully translated novels that I've read and enjoyed.

The top percentage of the novels I’ve had the pleasure of reading and enjoyed immensely. No real order, just the personal favorites of someone who... more>> spends most of their free time, reading.  <<less

Disclaimer: Some of these novels are extremely cliche, loved, and hated on. Aka, you DON'T have to like all of them, or even any of them really. These are just some of the more well-know novels that, I believe, are all worth checking out (lol mainly because of the amount of reads and reviews they have ;P). And walp, that's kinda the whole point of this list >.>... more>>

This list introduces the various popular/common/cliche tropes and genres of the translated novels community. I just want to point out the fact that this list is supposed to cover a wide range of genres and audiences. It doesn't cover everything, but I think most of them are here. I enjoyed these, and I think it's a good place to start reading from. (I tried to have novels for both male/female preferences). While some of these novels may be long, that does not mean you have to finish the entire thing -_- , if you enjoy it, good, keep on reading! If you don't enjoy it, then stop, no one's forcing you to continue.

The list is in no particular order, although I did try to put them into categories ... that kinda worked, ish. Some of these novels are officially licensed, so you may have to get the rest of the chapters from other sources (Google and *cough* aggregate websites *cough*).

Pls don't hate Orz. When I was first introduced to translated novels, everything seemed pretty good to me T^T.  <<less

Villainess books that I would 100% recommend to those who like the genre! My criteria is that they were either transmigrated into a villainess body, once a villainess or act villainess-y. Rankings don't matter, but I try to put the lesser knowns above. Enjoy and I hope this list helps!!... more>>

*If novels are not getting updated, I will drop it. Exceptions are made only because I enjoyed reading it a lot <<less

I read both male and female protagonist novels and here are the novels where I was like "Damn, that sh*t good."... more>>

A ranking of some potentially noteworthy BG novels I've read. This is NOT a list of all the BG novels I've read, but just the ones I find potentially worth recommending. ... more>>

These stories lean towards josei, and characteristics I enjoy are: complexity / fullness of characters, realistic progression of the relationship, strong world or plot-building, happy endings. I've written comprehensive reviews of most of them that give more detail about my opinions. Updated frequently. <<less
