I’m looking for novels with strong female leads without an overbearing/toxic male lead. It can honestly be from any genre, idc, as long as I get to read some slowburn romance that doesn’t involve a “Cold” FL & unreasonably “Overbearing + Possessive” Male Lead.
Strong as in you want her to fight the others or you mean her character is strong eg resilient in terms of challenges?
Quite difficult since as far as I know, most stories with FL have an overbearing/toxic ML. Maybe you should try out: Rebirth on the Doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau I’m A Cool Salted Fish In The Entertainment Industry Though I'm not sure if these fit your definition of strong FLs...
Heroic Wife Reborn - underrated, highly recommended My Master Disconnected Yet Again - story is funny but slow romance I Heard You Are an Alien - cutest ML I've ever read in a novel
