    Somehow i want a fighting CN (or JP) with somehow good romance with a plain looking girl or a childhood friend.
    I'm becoming tired of all the girls that got heaven defying looks and stuff.

    What i don't want: so dense protag that it's cringy, betrayal unless it's minor, NTR, yaoi.
    Plz help me ! Also if the protag have sex with her, it's a huge plus.

    Douluo Dalu is a good 1 to 1 romance & action novel. There's even a few couples to see too, each with their own story.

    Wow, from the tags, there is nothing to make me hate it, what a nice find, thx you ! The MC is average looking but what about the girl ? No childhood friends tag so i guess it's a plain girl ? Please tell me.

    The problem is the Late+slow romance, i hope he encounter the girl/future lover early. Also i have never read a "Lucky Protag tag" novel, looks funny and interesting unless the author just wrote nonsense like he won a 0.00000001% chance bet.

    The girl is scarred, so ugly looking, and she shows up fairly early on

    She's a maid servant from his childhood. She's also not pretty because she has a curse mark on her face.

    I want to cry because even though i asked that i never thought there really was a novel like that. AH ! GUYS ! There is also Womanizing Mage where a girl is half ugly ! You didn't read it? (but the girl is kinda avoiding MC in early chapters).

    And should i guess she is cured later on ? But strangely i think making it she stay cursed sounds like really interesting. MC would shower her with love and she would be happy and not care anymore about her looks.

    She apparently does have beautful feet though as the author seems to have a fetish when it comes describing them.

    Sorry but ... ah buuuuuuut now that you say iitttttt... hmmm... somehow it seems like it's true that no one, not even the novel said that the elf girl was really beautiful. I guess that works.
    But too bad, the links are deleted.
    If you got the link for the volume where he is visiting his house of ghosts + his first marriage, plz share it to me in conversation ! Somehow i don't know what to search. Somehow i skipped most stuff and only read the manga and the interesting parts of the novel like the moment where he begged the Dragon God. God that was interesting, seeing a MC beg an ennemy of his and he is spared.

    Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
    The girl is described as somewhat of a beauty though her strong features and even stronger demeanor scares everyone away. In essence, a cultivator maniac who punches and trains like a monster daily.

    Life After Marriage
    No annoying mother-in-law, consensual sex, no crazy CN conflicts, MC in appearance is a bit above average, but not the stunningly pretty type. Plus lots of comedy!

    The Heartbeat at the Tip of the Tongue
    ML is prettier than MC. And although it's more about cooking than romance, but it's a pretty nice read. Spoiler: Reason conflicts were ever appearing was because of her own jerk best friend.

    Interesting. But i searched the tag and i was : "Geh ?! Mecha ?! No thx you" unless you tell me more i don't think i will read a mecha story, not a fan of gundam xD (joke).
    Hmmmm, Life After Marriage's summary didn't sound good to me but maybe i will read it after the ton of novels that i need to finish. Really last option, also not a fan of comedy but interested nevertheless.

    A blind + cute protag wtf ? WHY NOT ! SOUNDS GOOD ! But i hate drama. How bad the conflicts/drama is ?
    Np. But someone said if you search you can find it and i'm not good in searching.

    Sometimes every girl has jadelike skin and phoenix eyes. Therefore they are plain. Put a birthmark on dat grill.

    Not so much conflicts/drama just the MC was already trying to move on from her life (she had a crush on her best friend for a while but the best friend never seems to respond, until ML comes) and most of the time it's just MC trying to find her self-confidence and motivation through cooking.
