pt. 2 No BS, good romantic story/characters
pt. 2 No BS, good romantic story/characters
By "good romantic story", at minimum: no bs that isn't justified or explained, or is overly done; romance is not offensive, neither lead being an as*hole to each other; romance that isn't overly dry or has too much drama; leads may be either slightly stereotypes or codependent but at least it's cute and they are not 2d but the sides may be a little; chemistry is good and story plot is mediocre or vice versa
At best: independent badass leads where the romance is a build up of them doing their own thing and getting to know each other; solid world building; 3d characters all around; fluff that makes you happy and not bored to read; there is actually good plot; there is life beyond romance but the romance makes it nice to read too
Pt 1 is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16574/
Pt 3 (slowly updating):
https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/66164/
In no particular order.
Includes: bg/bl romances, enjoyable opness, supernatural, entertainment, fantasy, good fluff, s*x, smut, adventure and/or mystery, etc
Low-key this list is just me forgetting all these books' plots. Lawl

Lol a lot of bl but this is a belated add. I also forgot where I left on this. I read this while ago and if you look at my review of it, it seems like I don't like the romance, but actually the ml does redeem himself because this is a novel where both leads grow type of thing. The beginning does feel like the ml is legit bullying the mc but in actuality you learn how f*ckin awkward the ml is.... more>>

The first tome/part legit reminds me of Shakespeare because I think correct me if I'm wrong but I believe there's an analysis that his works are somewhat feminist because in all the stories that he writes where everyone dies was only the works where women had no power in them. The ones with women having some power, tend to end better. This book also perfectly shows that dynamic as well, but with ancient china.... more>>

Technically still reading but I haven't read it in awhile I think I have to reread it again. It's definitely cliche it's definitely a guilty pleasure of good looking plus rich plus entertaining plus an actually pretty gentle ml through and through. The romance is actually pretty sweet. No bs list so imo this doesn't really have that much bs just entertaining enough fluff. I like it. Just where am I in this plot ~*the book amnesia continues lul*~ if I remember anything correctly, assuming I did lol, it was cool how the mom helped her out and did what she did against the dad.... more>>

Still reading. Tbh depending how it ends, this could be removed from the list. This mc is not my type and I don't like the extensive descriptions and the pacing could be less slow at parts , BUT it's really interesting. The plot is really intriguing. It's basically part tomb raider, mostly supernatural, kinda cheesy (for me imo sometimes) bl romance, and lots of interesting mystery. If you have read "the mediator" ya series, the romance is like that but with a Chinese ancient emperor instead. ... more>>

Hm. If you have ever read a bl novel and thought if the mc was a girl, this could total just be a bg romance easy? This is that except the mc is physically a girl, but it comes off bl for some reason. Forgive my ignorance, but I actually think this novel is like a transgender romance. Feel free to correct me, I believe transgender is physically being one gender yet feeling like the other gender. In this way, the novel is here for it's somewhat open-minded romance.... more>>
