    After going through a lot of novels in the series finder in NU, I was wondering if there were any gems regarding romance novels. Recently, I have been enjoying Silent Crown and Return of the Swallow.
    In Silent Crown, I loved Yezi and Baixi's interactions. They have no reservations towards each other, and at this point it's more like a sibling relationship that has yet to develop into love.
    In Return of the Swallow, I love the MC. Although she is mistreated, she chooses to love here family because they are of the same blood. Because of this mentality, she changes many characters in the novel. The ML hasn't made a full appearance yet, but the connection between them is explained.

    My all-time favorite romance has to be The Snow Country Hunting Life of the Northern Nobleman and the Raptor Wife.

    Honestly, in romance I don't mind if one side of the couple is weak or not, but many relationships in webnovels seem shallow because the pairs simply do not depend on each other, often because one character is way too overpowered. I rather have a platonic relationship that develops in the story than a love-at-first-sight that glosses over how the relationship was made and how it will continue.

    So generally I am looking for a power couple because the dynamics are more interesting and the couple can develop because they can depend on each other as the story continues.

    Thanks guys, maybe this is too lengthy of a request lol.

    P.S. I stay away from harem in general, although many novels I liked turned into harem >.<

    If you want something similar to the day-to-day tellings of a couple I highly recommend Assassin Farmer, then if you want a good romance book about an intelligent, black-belly couple in an ancient Chinese setting then I recommend The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage, a decent xianxia type cultivation novel based around beast spirits is obviously Douluo Dalu, then a good fantasy-type romance is Assassin's Chronicle(which is severely underrated as far as I am concerned because it is such a good novel that does not fall into any tropes; the MC is intelligent and there is pretty decent plot and character development), and lastly Awakening is a pretty decent modern romance between a reincarnated man and his former teacher(no harem).

    There's this really slow romance one between the MC's that's mostly family love but it's happening, kind of cute and tons of family fluff
    From Maid to Mother
    You can read the novel but the manga is currently faster

    I think I'm liking a lot of these family stories so far, guess I'm weak to fluff >.<

    Sevens is a harem, though its romance element does a good job on balancing each girls's love story that it's hard to pick which is the best one.

    As for the Romance
    Try: (searching on my signature)...
