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.

A more realistic approach to historical josei romance. The romance is very subtle. This is more focused on harem schemes.

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.
