Good day all, I'm wondering if you guys can suggest recommendations for novels with a developed romance where the main heroine (Or one of the main heroines) is an elf (High elf, dark elf etc) But this time, I'm looking for those where the elf heroine is mature (As in independent, lived hundreds of years, isn't some "damsel in distress who needs saving by the MC every single chapter" etc) and where the romance doesn't just pop out of nowhere. Harems are acceptable only if the heroine doesn't become a side character mentioned once or twice throughout the story Off the top of my head, here are some examples that I've read : - Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru (Background and personality well developed, romance nicely paced) - Kanna no Kanna (A bit early, but elf is main heroine and her story is developed slowly) - Legend (While introduced a bit late, dark elf is a guild leader, old, but still fits the criteria) You can also suggest novels that are not currently translated since I'll just MTL it. Bonus if the MC is badass/not a weak pacifist
W/ elf as MC's female main interest: The New Gate Will the Re-Summoned Hero Live as an Ordinary Person Elf FMC, no rom: The Guild's Cheat Receptionist
Haven't read that one yet, will check it out. @S4TY4 Oh yeah I've read the manga for new gate, although I found it kind of slow and boring. But I'll have a look at the novel. @Ddraig I've think I've seen the anime before, but I'll need to have a look at the novel as well.
I don't mind if it's scifi, fantasy or even modern setting fantasy. As long as there's elves, I'm happy.
If you want some rather interesting elves, I would recommend reading Necrotourists at rrl. The second story arc deals with a rather unique empire of elves
Oh, have to admit I didn't expect an empire of elves. Will put that on my reading list next. Thanks again for the recommendation!
Okay I fcked up a bit there... its not an empire urr its more of a democracy..... just take it as a country of elves for now
