A great story

A great protagonist 

And obsessive but complex love interests 

Read this!!

I’m at chapter 70 (most recent chapter update) and woah. I’m blown away at this story. I’ve enjoyed every moment. The protagonist is so complex, but smart and realistic. She feels so grounded. Similarly, the love interests have complex personalities. If anything the more complex the character means the more backstory they have! This is such a great read I really encourage people to read it!

Now for a summary: the protagonist is a Saintness purely for spying reasons. The first arc is in the Holy Empire and you can consider this her training arc so tons of smut lol. The second arc is in the kingdom she’s supposed to spy her and she gains more skills necessary to her (like potion making). However, no matter what she’s doing she is focused on the reverse harem path so she completes quests to gain affection. I am being vague for non-spoiler reasons so it’s not remotely as boring as I’m making it seem lol. The story is focused around quest completion. <<less

{DISCLAIMER: I am aware it says no chapters but that’s due to author’s website no longer being up. However! Use wayback machine. That is what I used, and I was able to read the entire story. It’s only 96 chapters! Message me if you are confused on how to use way back machine. I really recommend this novel.}... more>>

The entire novel’s premise is the FL is in an otome game, and this is her 1000th attempt. She is granted two OP skills to help her. She must balance “7 boats” (term to mean seven relationships) in order to finish game. She failed so many times because the male leads “blackened” (aka became yanderes) and killed her. FL is kind of a mary sue, but I don’t mind it because her OP skills are only used occasionally. Her true talent comes out in manipulating the hearts of everyone, and successfully balancing the relationships. This novel is sectioned in between arcs which showcase two relationships at a time, so the pacing is well-done. This reverse harem style was masterfully done!  <<less

ABSOLUTE fave right now. Warning: very smutty, and kind of ridiculous lol. However, I really like the light hearted mood of the novel. It’s shameless... more>> smut but I always have fun reading it. The plot is directly tied to the p*rn so there isn’t much lull in the storyline. It’s about a woman named Rose, who is a transmigrator, into a novel where s**en consumption makes her stronger (aka increase her stats). She can’t fulfill her ultimate goal of climbing of a difficult tower without stat upgrades. Of course, the male leads are the reason she has huge stat increases lolol. I love it but I can just enjoy a smutty story without much stress. I have laughed multiple times when reading it! <<less

Smart and cunning protagonist who is trying to escape her intended fate and her awful mother. Her budding romance with the main male lead is... more>> slow-burn but fulfilling. There is a obsessive male character over the female lead, but it’s unclear if he will be a love interest.  <<less

A smart and resourceful protagonist who is forced to survive crazy situations with budding romance happening all the while. Two male leads are possessive over... more>> the female protag which leads to funny fights over her lol. It is greatly hinted majority of the male characters in this book is attracted to the female protag.  <<less

She has the favors of the Gods to help her in every situation. She is intelligent enough to maneuver out of every difficult situation too.... more>> One male lead is possessive over the female lead so border-line yandereish (but not a full-on yandere).  <<less

Female maid lead tries to resign from her role at an prominent mafia/crime family and the male leads suddenly grow possessive over her. She is an highly skilled maid, but she destined to see the true FL to die over and over - so she wants to leave. ... more>>

The three ML’s persuade her to not resign just yet, and this is when the slow-burn romance starts. All male protagonists are possessive in their own way.  <<less

It’s completely and totally shameless smut but it’s an enjoyable read especially as a reverse harem read. It’s a quick read too because it’s only 30 chapters. If u want a quick reverse harem smut story to read then read this one! ... more>>

Female protagonist is the typical gorgeous MC but her story is centered around a certain item that helps her unlock a secret ending. The enjoyment of this story is mainly seeing all the crazy quests she gotta complete lolol. This is definitely a book where all the love interests openly share the MC instead of the MC trying to hide her relationship with all of them. <<less

TO BE CLEAR: I have not finished this novel but it is technically completed already (on salmonlatte). However, I really like the novel so I’m recommending it here.... more>>

I really enjoy the female lead, and she’s quite realistic her actions can be frustrating (but in an understandable way haha). Probably one of the most realistic leads in this list. She’s not magically talented or cunning but she’s trying her best. She’s endearing, and the plot twists are super satisfying. I’m genuinely never sure exactly what will happen next. I definitely recommend checking this out.

And of course there is a possessive and jealous MC. It starts out as “resenting lovers” (male lead didn’t like her at the start) but he warms up very quickly to her.  <<less

I really like this novel because the progression of romance isn’t dependent on the ex husband’s attention or love towards the MC. If anything, she... more>> entertains relationships with the other male leads not only because she has too (its a transmigration into a game type novel). However, it does make the ex husband jealous too lol. As typical, all the male leads are possessive in their own way! Not many chapters out yet and translator is on hiatus but I definitely recommend checking it out if you don’t mind that!  <<less

This book has a more somber tone than most of the books in this list but that’s due to defying some of the typical plot points in the transmigration genre. Such as, the protagonist not being able to hide she transmigrated to this body because she acts so differently. This is a huge part of the book. Similarly, most male characters are super possessive even if they’re not a male lead.... more>>

There is officially three male love interests and I enjoy them all but I like the psychopathic one the most haha. The author fleshes out the personality of the male leads way more than expected especially for a reverse harem story. It has a good mix of focusing on an actual plot whilst having great steamy moments <<less
