These are good stories that are being slowly translated. Worth waiting for! I'll come back to finish reading them later.

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.

these novels make me irrationally angry ... more>>

please comment your worst picks and diss me in the comments if your fav is on here  <<less

Here's my recommended list for historical-romance....what I'm highly like in these novels is that the FL is the beauty with brain, the honey-sweet bonding with... more>> FL and ML, they have child ( not all, but mostly and hopefully) and the story is not too abruptly ended ( but, not all are completed ) <<less

These are stories I want to read. If they are decent enough to keep me entertained they remain on the list. I like a certain... more>> trope and will only regret it if I hate the female lead.  <<less

Looking for some reads of this genre? Here are ones i’ve read and loved | BG Novels

stories w female MCs changing their fates

MxF couples with interesting, well designed characters and good plots.

For a rainy day 

read the title. that is the main question of this list. just like (allegedly) attractive people, these geniuses grow like potatoes. by that I mean they could cause a famine in Ireland… with their mystic powers of yore.... more>>

pssst. pssssst. remember, the top ten novels are decent and have a personal stamp of approval, the rest are scattered to the wind. if you wanna take a chance, remember to bring a parachute. the wind will not save you… <<less

Transmigration/Rebirth novels with female lead, most of these are reborn with medical skills, new skills or martial arts. ... more>>

The first few ranked are based on personal choices, after that its random. <<less

My list... (o^^o)... more>>

Transmigration, Reincarnation, QT, Rebirth, Time Travel... <<less

Transmigration/ reincarnation novels with a plot about MC going back in time or into a world that's far less advanced. 

I suggest looking at my other recommendation list (Fluffy Straight Romances) for better reviews and insight on these recommendations. https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/8369/?st=1

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

"The repentance of scum*!"" The repair of scum*!"" The redemption of scum*!"... more>>

It is a theme in many novels. In almost every novel, ML starts out as a Scum*! But there are different types of scum* ... some more acceptable (in context), others intolerable and unforgivable!

They are described as handsome, cold, dominating, powerful, intelligent, ambitious, arrogant, proud, heartless ... However, ironically, they can be easily deceived by misunderstandings, evil suspicions and "the pitiful white lotus"...  and end up mistreating, harming, hurting, abusing, poisoning or torturing FL unfairly. ლಠ益ಠ)ლ

Later, when the truth is revealed, they regret everything they have done, discover that they love FL and cannot live without her! They change to be the best male for FL! Humpf! But it is so late ... hahaha a joke! t(=n=)

We like to see them suffering, begging, crawling ... but it is never enough! Or, unfortunately, they don't even suffer from anything, they don't beg for anything but they keep the girl in the end! (ಠ ∩ಠ)
>>Ok! Not everything is so bad! There are some novels that are good readings when they have a good plot and a strong and capable FL!  <<less

Female leads rules!

My list of men from ancient times who had only our FL as their only beloved woman and wife. There are no other women. If... more>> there are concubines, these women have only received a cold shoulder. <<less

Generals, Wang Ye, Emperors ... In ancient times, they have many women around them... But they just loved a woman for a lifetime! ... more>>

They are powerful, overbearing, proud, intelligent, cunning, ruthless, heartless, ambitious, scum of the worst kind ... But when they discover love and fall in love, they will do everything for their beloved wife! <<less

This list has no order and has girlxboy and boyxboy (and even one or two girlxgirl), as long as the protagonist's soul enters the body of someone else, is here. There are no harem novels here! (Sorry but I'm not a fan). ... more>>

PS: There are some novels here that I haven't read, so I don't know if they are good or not. <<less
