a nitpick i have with the current trend of romance novels.

So i like to read romance novels and alot of then are tragic begins but evolve into a black belly love relationship with a "pure and not two faced wife"

Not looking at the second chance mcs that are two faced as hell though.


Some reason i enjoy mcs that dont really care for lover relationships but gets dragged into a relationship because just cause.

Now heres my nit pick.

Why the hell cant the love rival be like a normal person that isnt a cheating hoe or venomness bitch. i get its part of the karma retribution drama in the end when the love rival is socially destroyed or tortured. But like wtf?

Is there no novel where the love rival and the mc duke it out for the ml love and eventually one side wins out with their own charm that doesnt involve someone getting kicked off the edge of a cliff for the dramatic defeat?

I guess im more for the romance silce of life and not for the drama.

Tl:dr i have a problem with revenge porn novels.

 

I don't know about novels, but try "last game" manga. You'll loves it

 

I have actually read that, i consider it a gem.

 

I agree, the maliciousness of these antagonists are extreme to say the least, and the provocation is often lacking. When considering the best antagonists I've come across in reading, most are at least relatable to some extent. This president is slightly displeased with this monotonous pattern.

 

That's basically almost all chinese novels with flying mc's.

 

Not to mention the characters are 1 dimensional and shallow. "This guy is hot and popular, i have to have him". "Omg hes rich, ill be set for life if i marry him."

Yeah, i agree some relatable villians with better motivation would be amazing.

In alot of jp novels too. The otome genre is littered with them.

 

Try Horimiya

 

Another good one, i shelved it for later whenever it completes.

 

my nitpick with romance novels (modern day cn) is how the ml is perfect in every way imaginable, its like reading a robot interact with a colourful cast of characters, no matter how much of a 'god' the ml is its just bland and boring to me.

 

Yeah... this is why most romance novels are terrible.

Though in terms of your requirements, some JP reverse harems where MC picks one at the end might fit your request criteria.

But again, romance meh...

 

After i had my fill i dropped most of them. Those cn novels r peak revenge porn/2nd chance rebirth.

There a few i like reading cause the mcs are quite colorful but the mls can still be bland.

Its alot of digging to be honest. To bad alot of the good jp novels are licensed. Like this one novel where a terminal ill patient dies and gets a 2nd chance in life in a extremely vain high school girl.
Novel just ends up focusing on this overly giddy girl trying to enjoy life while mending people trust in her.

I have a wider reading range, i just prefer romance slice of life, its relaxing for me to read.

 

That was licensed? I guess good for the author. The romance part was thrown in too quickly. I prefer a much more hard boiled effort of the girl mending relationships similar to Suenobu Kei (?) manga Life.

These are web light novels, the author don't spend a lot of thought in the scenarios. You'll have to look for print novel translations. Well there are some deeper thought out webnovels but they're not for easy access/reading like with syosetsu. Ayu Deep love is a cellphone novel and maneuvering to find those is not something translator's have time with unless they were already into it.

 

Yeah, it was why the original tl ended tling it.

about ready to look for a subscription base website for light novels reads.
