probably adding only japanese and korean novels... reading list for chinese novels is on my jjwxc account

prefer clingy/yandere female leads and not a huge fan of harem

one of the best romance novels that I have ever read is Imouto Life by Hitoma Iruma which is somehow not on here - too taboo to be translated? edit: longer thoughts on a novel will be posted as a review under the novel itself

update dec 23: been reading a lot of korean mtls, will update with some decent finds

pretty okay.. 7/10?. centres around the male lead's manipulation of events in the main story to make things go smoothly... the female lead is cute but unfortunately she doesn't appear as much in the story as she should have.... more>>

despite the tr*shy name, it's actually a pretty clean romance story where the fl is really in love with the ml and has orchestrated certain events behind the scenes.... more>>

a very old series that I read in my teens. i think it was published from 2008 to 2012? despite the name and the cover, it's actually one of those old-school rom-coms without a harem. there are only two female leads (a classmate and the eldest daughter) and one of them ends up as the winner.... more>>

this is a pure love novel under the guise of a harem shonen series. it was published back in the old days of harem, and was one of my favourite series because it combined the elements of non-harem romance with a good execution of a shonen series that fires the reader up.... more>>

      it's on noble mtl. it is generally quite readable, the main issue being that the fl's name is constantly translated to "galaxy", so just substitute that mentally


      anyway, please be aware that it's a pure romance novel, which is why my rating is subjective

      @nouni Hey I'm all for it, I don't like drama in my romances (not necessarily drama in general, more like that soap-opera, k-drama stuff), that's why it's been so hard for me to find a romance I like. Thanks for the link.

      I don't have a shortcut for you as I read the Chinese translations. If you can read Chinese, I'll pass you the link.


      I was thinking about translating it from Chinese myself, but it's such a good novel that I don't want anything to be lost in translation (particularly when it goes from JP -> CN -> EN), even if the quality of the Chinese tl is amazing.
