Hello, as long as I can remember, I have only liked/enjoyed reading novels with a male protagonist. I have tried to read a few novels with a female protagonist, but I was never able to enjoy reading the novel. It might be because the novels I tried was bad or something. Therefore, if anyone can recommend me a novel(s) with a female protagonist. Uhm, if I have to say my requirements for reading a novel; I don't really enjoy a forced relationship, or a relationship where one is dominating the other. I'm not a fan of yuri, nor do I think I would like a harem. Are there any novels out there with a female protagonist fitting these requirements of mine? If so, I would appreciate it if you could list them.

Ok, so I tried to organize each subcategory by which is most suitable for your situation, but it's all based on my opinion, and I limited experience reading male-protag novels, but here goes: LN I'll Live My Second Life - about a princess dressing up as a guy to go to the military barracks; very funny, but slow plot development Swamp Girl! - there's a bit of identity confusion, so it might weird you out, but it's an amazing story Eliza - rather dark, but a really good story nonetheless Mimizuku to Yoru no Ou - such a great story, definitely try it out Dragon Life CN -historical/xuanhuan/wuxia/xianxia- Phoenix Xiaoyao Meow Meow Meow My Disciple Died Yet Again Gentleman Free-Floating Cloud Sansheng, Wangchuan Wu Shang -modern- God's Left Hand - I definitely recommend this if you like gaming Memory Lost - mystery novel about police and psychology and stuffs Supernatural Girlfriend - mystery novel There's also A Smile is Very Charming, any novels by Mo Bao Fei Bao or Ban Li Zi, and the classics like To Be a Virtuous a Wife, Chaos Of Beauty, Gu Fang Bu Zi Shang, but...I definitely don't think you'll be interested unless you ease yourself into the genre. Also, the ones mentioned by @Night Ghost are pretty good too, but imo they're a tad slow compared to male-protag novels. Depends on if you read LN or CN normally, because male-protag LN is definitely slower than male-protag CN. TLDR; you should probably start with light novels before moving onto more humorous c-novels.

Phoenix Destiny, no relationship at all yet. Lead could be swapped for a male and it wouldn't make much difference. Crossing to the Future, it’s Not Easy to Be a Man, also no relationships yet. Reign of the Hunters, same here. There are signs of a potential relationship, but the MC is still in denial about even considering the possibility.
Crossing to the Future, it’s Not Easy to Be a Man Quick Transmigration: Heroine Arrives, Woman Rapidly Retre... Side Character Transmigrations: The Final Boss is No Joke those 3 are decent/good female lead novels.
Ta daahh I recommended The rebirth of malicious empress of military lineage This novel is very well written, and had a lot of meaning and like poem (you will know when you read this) Oh and the schemes! The female protagonist is not OP But using her past life's experience, she slowly planning everything to pay back her enemies and send them to the door of doom Omg and what I really appreciated is the MC really have wit and temper I mean she could defeat her enemies using other like playing chess piece LOL At first, I have no interest with this novel, but after read this I cannot stop my self Really recommended! Since there's a lot of male love this novel too
Ascendance of a Bookworm - Great novel, interesting story, no real romance until later arcs that haven't been translated, and no real harem or anything then. Having read the raws to completion, it's honestly my favorite novel. I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated - Might be a good intro to female protagonists. The MC in the sword is technically male, but he's wielded by a girl who's effectively co-protagonist with him. Good fight scenes, pretty good status system. A little slow at the start. I Said Make My Abilities Average - Fun adventuring series. No romance, no real yuri. Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear - Good adventuring series with no romance. Kind of gets a little repetitive after a while.
