Quality Romances

Quality Romances
Nothing too edgy or boring. Just simple, quality romance stories. The story is not the only thing that needs to be good, but the translation as well. I also look to see if series either have a lot of available chapters or are new but consistently updating. There is no specific order to this list.

Currently looking for someone with similar tastes and standards, willing to help curate this list.

I binged this whole thing... It's pretty good; it's not an isekai. The main character is out for revenge, and the people she is against are the worst of the worst. There are no shades of gray... They're just evil. One particular thing I liked: the MC is a bit conniving and sinister, and the ML is really into it... Heh.... more>>

This is such a pleasant read! The main character, Max, is an exceptionally well-written and strong lead. She isn't strong in the way many authors... more>>

I was wary at first because I thought the FL would be pushy and ignore the ML's feelings, but that wasn't the case at all!... more>>

A well-translated story about two outcasts finding solace in each other. Luckily, the story jumps right into the plot; it doesn't linger too long on the MC bemoaning their transmigration. The leads are likable and cute together, and their struggle to survive isn't instantly solved by some story-breaking cheat.... more>>

Beautiful imagery and a quality translation. I've recently gotten into danmei, and I can say, this one is quite good (and completely translated!!).

    What is your criteria for (I'm assuming 'top') Quality romance?

      Translation-wise, they have to be accessible (meaning no overuse of genre-specific lingo) and (in general) grammatically sound.

    Really like your list. It makes me want to take a look at ff.net or archive of our own.

      Haha, thanks.

      Depending on what you're looking for, one site is better than the other. ff.net has a lot for older series and a decent mobile app, but the site is more inactive now. AO3, on the other hand, has a lot of newer stuff, and its search engine is better (e.g. you can search for specific tropes), in my opinion.
