    I need more novels where the female lead is truly badass, has another romance after the first male ruined everything, or is really cold and indifferent and doesn't give a shit about someone's love. Still waiting for the ones the female lead acts like most male leads and is not an innocent, sheltered kind of girl even at 20 smth...like, be real

    ....how can you have been a member since 2019 and still not have been exposed to all the badass female leads from all these chinese writers?

    You got medical ghost empresses and peerlees jade phoenix consorts just curb stomping everyone and building reverse harems shoved up your ass everywhere you look here. Im not sure why you seem to think they are rare? I know in an otome setting they would be, but come on what do you expect from otome game setting stories?

    Most FMCs in them are either stupid or prone towards causing misunderstandings galore. Unless you specifically want otome game setting stories with badass female main characters, and not just badass female main characters in general. That second thing you asked for is pretty specific and nothing springs to mind so i dunno about that. I think that would be a lot rarer. Unless you count the TONS of stories where the female lead is cheated on and later bags some ultra rich and cold but weirdly obsessive lover who does everything she asks.

    I've never heard the word "virginal" before in my life and today I come across this word twice in two completely different places!?

    Also, that word shouldn't exist. I keep reading it as "vaginal" and end up doing a double take.

    Just like cupcake ninja said..
    There's plenty fmc that stomp all (retarded) cannon fodder and prove that she is a badass that will sweep everyone on her way, EXCEPT that dominering, beautiful, jade like skin, phoenix eyes, black belly male lead...
    Most title would be start with the occupation she have before the transmigration, doctor, assasin, general, etc...
    OR
    Simply search the word "poisonous"

    There're many stories like this, the problem is that they all turn into some useless crybabies once the ml who's shooo awesome comes into play. Dropped sooo many stories because of the flawless ml's

    It is an actual word. You can search some dictionary.

    From Google Dictionary: being, relating to, or appropriate for a virgin.
    Example: "virginal shyness"

    ^This.
    If you're looking for honest-to-dog badass FLs who arent overshadowed by super OP, mysterious, flawless, ice-cube, rapey, obsessive, yandere fucktards then i wish you luck as it will be a long journey.

    If you're fine with that however, they're easy as to find.

    I've actually tried a lot of novels and I have a lot of them on "to read list" because they're not translated yet, but I don't want to "suffer" every time I try a novel only to come across a rape scene or smth similar. I really get annoyed when the first chapters present a decent FL, but then she turns to mush in front of the ML. And seeing as these chine writers tend to have a different sense for " romance" as I do, I wanted to try a faster way to reach novels that I would find appealing and that way is asking for opinions. Maybe someone will post smth I didn't come across.

    I know and i don't like the EXCEPT part. I mean some do pull it over, but some don't
    And they all have the same story, so after a few of them you tend to have higher expectations

    But it exists. Check every dictionary. And seeing as it's from " virgin", I think that's the first world that should come to mind.

    Exactly...it's really frustrating. Or when you continue to read smth because you still have the hope it will get better, or the incredulity that this is for real

    I'm not fine with everything :)))). And I know it's a long journey... so I asked in hope to shorten it and skip myself of all the potential grievances
