Looking for novels where the female lead is not an actress, doctor, gamer, or hacker. Also not currently interested in stories where the FML has a foot in every imaginable industry (i.e. when FML is a genius hacker, doctor, gamer, and assassin). FML can be skilled in multiple things, but I don't want the cliche mary-sue build of being good at everything. Some examples of books I've read/added to my reading list (will be updating as I discover more): Hello, Mr. Major General (fml is a lawyer, is a hacker on the side) My Son Might Be a Villain (fml is a musician/producer) Crossing to the Future, It's Not Easy to Be a Man (fml is a soldier/general) Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet (fml was a manager for celebrities) When a Snail Loves (fml is a police officer) Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her (fml is a soldier/sniper) Don't Fall in Love with the Boss (fml is a lawyer) Son, "Mom" Will Back You (fml is a screenwriter) Pampering My Cute Pet (fml is an author) I Give Half My Life to You (fml is an athlete) Preferably looking for CN romance novels (modern or ancient is fine). KR and non-romance novels are okay though. No light novels. Thanks for the help! *UPDATE* Here's the reading list for the novels I've compiled: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/47846/?ft=yes
Transmigrating To Become The Boss’s Little Fairy Married to the Male Lead’s Brother The Good Mother System
Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life. MC is a master of Chinese ink painting and she stays being a painter to the end of the story. Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain. Slow romance, ancient tribal setting(?). This MC definitely has to struggle throughout the novel because of the harsh living condition so she doesn't have it easy.
I've read Transmigrating to Become the Boss's Little Fairy but not the others. Thanks for the rec! I've read Marrying the Soft-Hearted Villain and have Spending the Villain's Money to Extend My Life in my reading list. I didn't know that SVMEL's fml was a chinese painter though so I'll definitely check it out soon.
How about Azarinth healer, its a fantasy novel with fml that was a entering college and training in kick boxing, she like to beat stuff up its on royal road
I love me a good QT. Too bad only 57 chapter are translated though. I'm gonna have to wait a long time if I want to read the whole thing Is there another (non-MTL) website that has more chapters translated? Or is the MTL any good?
If the Deep Sea Forgets You (ex maffia) Guide To Raising the Sick Villain (student) The Whisper of the Nightingale (assassin) Azarinth Healer (fighter) Winter Rabbit in Wonderland (fighter (?) smthng like that) Fox has no Heart (fox demon) I Raised A Black Dragon (witch) I Am A Killer (as it said assassin/killer) Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? (Spider) Reincarnated as a Fox With System (magic user mostly) Nanomancer Reborn - I’ve Become a Snow Girl? (magic x nanotech)
If you don't mind JPN ones, then maybe: Youjo Senki Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Ascendance of a Bookworm From Maid to Mother The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent Two Saints Wander off into a Different World Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace Tensei Shoujo no Rirekisho Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Evil God Average I Said Make My Abilities Average!
The Beautiful Lady is Lonely ( fml main job as a engineer ) it's QT, little romance, career over romance. mostly in each world, she continued being an engineer. the mission for each world, basically pursuing better life or punish the scum
Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s she builds her own clothing store from scratch, the romance is very far from the start of the novel. Its more focused on business and child raising. Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs as far as i know she is a teacher, not sure about the updated chapts but i doubt she would be one of those you mentioned.
