    Hello!

    As the title said, I'm looking for a good plot with a female protagonist. My requirement about good plot is not much; as long it stick into their initial premise, main conflict stays in the topic, and end still in the same topic as their initial premise, I'm satisfied. A romance full of fluff which just focuses on fluffiness of love: good plot. Angsty romance that's from the start already gave you angst feeling and reading it till the end is a journey of pure angst torture? Yeah, good plot too.

    If you want to recommend me a dark revenge story, on the other hand, needs to have at least Rebirth of the Malicious Empress from the Military Lineage-ish-feeling, because this is so far the only revenge-rebirth-novel that I have found to be perfectly satisfying in their topic of revenge (cos despite the excessisve ML's handsomeness description, the narration was good, and it never really stray/dwell too long outside the premise). I have read Princess Wei Yang so you don't need to recommend it. I can't find a liking to Chu Wang Fei, pass that series too.

    Another detail; if the story premise is something like "BECOME THE STRONGEST! TOPPLE EVERYTHING, KILL EVERYONE IN MY WAY!!!", please don't recommend them to me. I'm really not good with action/battle-oriented stories.

    The story can be from anywhere; MU, RRL, Wattpad, fiction.net, wherever! A published book is fine too (just don't forgot to name the author beside the book title).

    Thank you~

    Seeing as regular novels are an option
    Tamora Pierce
    • Beka Cooper (trilogy)
    • Song of the Lioness (quartet)
    • The Immortals (quartet)
    • Protector of the Small (quartet)
    • Tricksters (duet)
    All set in the same universe all with female leads there is also a couple of stand alones with short story type of things in that universe. High fantasy

    Alison Croggon- The Books of Pellinor (quartet) high fantasy one of the books is told from her brothers perspective though with the final one switching between them

    I haven't really had any good luck my self with web novels

    I really enjoy Mei Gongqing. It is rebirth story, but there is no seeking revenge. All the MC wants is to live a peaceful life, but even with her knowledge, life won't let her. The writing is very elegant and a bit complex, but also very beautiful. Definitely an angst-romance type of story.

    Edit: Dang, we share 18% of our reading list. I think that's the most I've every matched...

    Man, I've read them all though some didn't get into my reading list(forgot to put them in) XDDD

    I wonder if I have exhausted all the non-battle-oriented female-protaginst good stories in NU...

    I've been eyeing this one for quite a long time. But it's cultivation, so... how intense/messy/long/frequent the battles are?

    Aw, Tamora Pierce! I have read Alanna series in my native language :DDD gladly will check her other series (not many of her books are translated in my country)

    Hmm my taste is quite broad, so here are the novels I think are good (and that you don't already have in your reading list). Those that I don't write as completed = still ongoing. ...your list already has plenty of good novels with female MC listed, that I also read, so in the end I can only list a few! X"D
    I don't want to look like I'm shamelessly advertising, but there's another smut and sweet series I'm translating, and it's recommended. (The reason I continued it was because I really love the story and all!). It's Marietta-hime no Konrei.
    Also, I'm writing an original series with female MC. I don't know if it's categorized as good or not, but I'm glad some people like it. If you also want to take a look at it, the link is in my signature.

    May I recommend the following novels with female leads

    Here Comes the Lady Chef.

    Female Leads - Checked
    Topic never change - Food - Checked
    Good Plot - Checked
    Hints of Love - Checked
    Bonus: Great Food - Checked
    Bonus: Funny family - Checked.

    The bad thing is that.... it is very addictive, and makes you read one chapter after another....

    Accompanying the Phoenix is awesome and has a great plot, but the translation is meh :/. Not in terms of readability cause that's pretty good, just the accuracy.

    Little Phoenix Is Not An Immortal

    Wife is Outrageous: His Evil Highness Comes Knocking hmmm im not sure about this one. It's pretty good, but it is a mix of romance and combat- more romance imo though. It's really different than most black belly female protag novels~

    Our Second Master

    ALL THE NOVELS ON d3wynightunr0lls.wordpress.com seriously, this girl has the best taste. And all completed too!

    Snowy Codex has some great ones too, but not a lot of chapters.
