Recommendations Rich Woman Poor Man

now that you mention it, I can just recommend every high school romcom out there, especially the two famous harems which is about poor guys teaching girls/quintuplets

Oh wow, I never thought that I'll see that title in this thread, I haven't read that yet but I think I'll do it later, it's been years since I've plan to read it... I got a reverse recommendation
(edit: grammar)

Well since I am on a roll, I recommend Shitsuren Chocolatier . I didn't read the manga, watched the drama. And then found a summary of the end of the manga and it was just what I wanted haha

 

Its a really hard criteria to fill without it tbh. After all, if you were a successful CEO would you even look at a poor man; no matter how handsome he is?

damn, I didn't hear this manga before, sadly there's not enough translation, I guess I'll watch the drama if I have time

 

Unlike most romance stories, you hear what the guy is thinking due to the monologue. Very different from oldies like Moto Kare. Although it showed how shallow guys are. It reminds me of Moteki but much better probably because the author did not pretend to be male.
The reason I like it is because the Schadefreude meter is off the charts i.e protagonist suffered so much. I love such stories

 

it seems it's a story that will make guys like me sad

 

No no you misunderstand. It is about growth. You can't grow without suffering in the beginning

 

Can't think of one in my reading list. (Answering since I got tagged lol)
That says something about Asian novels, huh...

 

Tried to read it but it hurt my head. The first chapter was ok but the translation quality took a nose dive after.
What a shame.
Given that 91 chapters have been translated in 3 years. I have no hope

 

Surely https://www.novelupdates.com/series/once-upon-a-time-there-was-a-spirit-sword-mountain/ counts?

The woman is his master and quite powerful. It's not "wealth" since cultivators don't really go for gold and such but she is massively more powerful than the main character. AFAIK, she has a "reverse Genji" plan (a woman raising a man to be her lover, instead of the man raising a woman to be his wife) sort of thing.

 

Yeah that is a downer. The first few chapters are terrible. It does improve after that though and is decent to read. But yeah the translation rate is not good. And tbh I found bits of the novel annoying itself. Like something happens and side characters misunderstand mc and rather than say something they get annoyed. That happens often which seems stupid after a while.

The writer of HCLS has another novel which is on gravitytales. School beauty and her bodyguard. Something like that. It’s similar kind of setting and it’s got quick translation I think. I lost interest in that after I saw how many chapters there are. By now there’s like 6000+ and it’s still ongoing.

 

I watched the anime. It wasn't bad but it changed the story and didnt make much sense

 

There's also the manga "The Story of an Onee-San Who Wants to Keep a High School Boy." I only read the first chapter though but it seems to fit your criteria.

Plus, there's "Hayate the Combat Butler" but I have never read/watched it. The main character is a poor boy who serves an extremely wealthy girl.

 

I remember Hayate. I watched the Taiwanese drama version with a Korean actress whose voice was dubbed in Chinese. It was too cartoonish haha
