    What's up with the increase in the number of female lead novels on NU? It's like every other novel has a female MC now.

    Just a simple change in interest

    Also, what's with those tags? Did you have a stroke or something?

    The gender ratio is finally balancing out, that's all.

    You guys too. Too much harem man. I need some more normal novels, BL and all the goodies. I need variation in my life.
    btw, I don't have a single novel like those concubines and whatever lmao.

    The violence, the characters, power ups and setting are specifically male targeted. You do understand that right? I mean just from the genre?

    My Cat novel -> Male MC and dang he is still manly and awesome in his own way. Don't look down on Slice of Life!!! Or Sci-fi! (My Death Notice)
    Oh, when you read novels with Female MC's that got more guts... but those are rather rare too, haven't seen many of those TLed either....... :/

    That is funny because the only ones of these genres that I rate higher than 2 stars are mainly Female MCs. I am glad there are more Female MCs they are typically better than there male counterparts.
