Completed Romance Novels Recs
Completed Romance Novels Recs
This is a list of all the novels that I have read with a female protagonist. Most of them have romance. Everything on this list has a happy ending of course. Some are more slice of life and some are very dramatic, but in the end these novels all left a good impression on me.
Not all the novels on this list are equally good. Some are okay, some are good, some are loved a lot. Nevertheless, I managed to complete them, so that means they're all readable.
For novels that are my absolute favourites which are those that I will reread many times, I will mark them with a "Best-Loved" award.
Some may get a "Honorable Mention" if they don't quite make it to Best-Loved, but they do stand out from the rest.
I will try my best to leave my impression of the novel in the comments. For some novels I will only say it's an enjoyable read which means for some reason or another they don't make the Best-Loved or Honorable Mentions list.
Acronyms I use often include FL aka female lead (also MC aka main character) and ML aka male lead.

This is quite funny. The concept is very fresh and the ML's point of view is given very frequently.

Added March 2021:
1) My Whole Family are Villains: Honorable mention super full of familial love. Very nice to read. The twin's brother sister relationship is so sweet.
2) The Villain's Contract Lover: very fluffy. I love the MC as a fox spirit.
3) I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband: Best loved award! Really good read. Historical setting with a reincarnated MC. She is a firecracker!!
4) Escaped Wife of a Tyrant CEO: only read this if you like yandere MLs. Compelling story but it's very dark.
5) She Become Sweet and Cuddly: very enjoyable read! ML is some saint. MC is fiesty and cute. I love her coquettishness.
6) Wangye, this Concubine is Busy: short fluffy read with a kickass MC.
7) Easily Set Aflame: pretty bland generic romance. MC is a doormat. The saving grace is that the translation is top notch.
Added in Feburary 2021:
1) Parental Qualification Certification: Honorable Mention almost Best Loved. This one really makes you think!
2) Wife Became A Minor Before Divorce: short and sweet read.
3) My daughter is the family head: really good!!! Very strong and smart MC.
4) The Civil Author Can Have Sweet Dreams: kind of slow and boring. It's fluffy though.
