Brain teaser novels or relaxing novels?

    Hi! Can someone please give me a novel I can get absorbed in easily?

    So recently I've been stuck in a rut and I really can't get into reading anything. I would be eternally thankful if you could give me your recs to get me out of this rut. :blobupset: *begging*

    Warning: I tried but I really can't get into reading anything, so I'm sorry if I can't read your recs. :notlikeblob: I will save them for a better day though!

    My preferences:

    • Preferably bl but doesn't need to be.
    • Preferably has romance >.>
    • Preferably doesn't end tragically
    • Preferably has at least 80+ chapters or maybe even completely translated.
    • Preferably doesn't need much thinking (preferably no world building etc)
    • Preferably won't stress me out (can have stressful parts but should become better in the long run)
    • Preferably not dragging.
    If you want you can include teasers or tell me something about it to encourage me to read it... (no spoilers please)

    Anyway cute and simple is the key please. (Actually I don't really have high standards) Imaging finding a novel for a pitiful little kid who can only use her brain too much else she'll explode. Please please! *grovels* :blob_teary::blob_teary:

    These are no-romance, but they’re nice and sweet, with drama, angst, action, humor, and fluff all included.
    Legend of Sun Knight
    No Hero
    Yu Brothers' Case Book

    For BL, maybe try Fantasy Farm? Or maybe GLORY. I’d also recommend You Use a Gun, I Use a Bow, but translations are still at the very beginning (I read the raws lol). MXTX novels are a classic too (Mo Dao Zu Shi, Heaven Official’s Blessing, Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System), though they’re all quite dramatic but have happy endings.

    For a quick read, I would definitely recommend Quickly wear the Face Of the Devil. Despite its name, this novel is a super cute, quick BL novel and completely translated! Totally marks off all your check points. Its a world hoping novel where each arc is only about 10-15 chapters. Basically, the world hoping shou faceslaps white lotuses in ever world and the ML gong falls in love and dotes on him. Really reccomend.

    This novel isn't BL but a great non-over dramatic novel: Eight Treasure Trousseau. The MC is a transmigrated woman from our modern world, but isn't overly ambitious and isn't getting plotted against by other girls. She has an arranged marriage and marries him, as it's normal and expected in ancient times. Her husband is the Emporer's nephew but has no political power so she lives a fairly relaxed life. While she knows they didn't carry out of love, they respect one another and slowly feelings develop on his end, and eventually hers. Her husband does fight for the crown but it isn't overwhelming and honestly a nice break.

    Liu Li Loves Jun. Its a gem, but there's only 7 translated chapters...I MTLed it and the read was totally worth it!
    https://www.novelupdates.com/series/liu-li-loves-jun/
    Even if you dont read it or MTL it, pls save the title so that you can read it when there are more translated chapters! It's something to check out at least. And you can read my review!

    Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks
    The MC is a girl. She's not clueless, gulible or anything of that stuff. She's got a realistic view on love. I guess just try to read the first arc and if you like it then go for it.
