    Just out of curiosity, are there any novels that follow the "rich school, gokugenyo" trope? Here's a list of novels I've read so far in this category:
    Plus some minor ones I've dropped due to either having short translated chapters at the time, or coming across pure stupid characters. Basically novels that are set in a modern style reincarnation rich school troupe. If not that, then I guess anything modern school related, as long as it involves reincarnation of some kind. Stuff like that.

    TBH I watched the anime ver and/or reading their manga i/o the novels:
    Toradora!
    My Youth Love Comedy SNAFU!

    Else, try searching those w/ school life & modern day tags?
    Also, do you take mangas & animes recommendations?

    Ahh those 2 were great to watch! Man it's been a while since I heard of those :3

    So there are some novels under those two tags? I guess I'll check to see if there's anything I missed. Thanks! But yeah, manga and anime recommendations are good too. Though I've read a lot of shoujo titles already.

    Thanks, but I'm looking more into pure modern school life at the moment. I tried getting into EX Rank and Villain Wants to Live, but those 2 weren't my cup of tea. Villain especially was too serious in terms of story tone for me.
