    I've just read When A Snail Loves lately and found Xuxu to be really cute.
    So I'm looking for another novel with female lead that is:
    - slow to realize other people's intention
    - could be dense sometimes
    - capable in her own way
    - is cute
    but is not:
    - childish
    - ignorant on how the world works
    - overly dense
    So no Meow Meow Meow, no Bakarina, no Beautiful Wife And Genius Son

    Slow but not dense... by any chance have you read My Diciple Died Yet again? It's protagonist sort of fits that description

    Try reading Sansheng, Wangchuan Wu Shang. It's a very sweet fantasy love story. I'm not sure if the lead will be exactly what you're looking for because she has a rather strange fantasy origin, but she is definitely capable and dense in her own way. It's also a completed story which is nice.

    I already read it, it's good :). I had no problem with fantasy origin.

    For future reference, maybe my reading list would help.

    Thanks! I've started reading Union Of Enemies. All other character beside mc is rather despicable.
    Even the male lead is a stalker ( ' < ')/
    Imho, kagome is not cute. :/ anyway, thanks for the recommendation.

    You just made me add this to my reading list. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    This isn't a novel recommendation, but have you read Warau Kanoko-sama + (sequel) Koi dano Ai dano? She's smart and cute, but a bit dense when it comes to her own love life.

    Manga recommendation is welcomed :)

    I've read Warau Kanoko-sama, Koi Dano Ai Dano, Last Game, Horimiya, and Isshuukan Friends. I used to be an avid reader of manga until a year ago, so I'm familiar with some title. I have already read most title that has been translated one year ago, but new title is very welcomed.

    It's not exactly you are looking for but if you haven't already read it I suggest Re:Life. It's a webcomic/manhua/manwha thingy. It fails most of your criteria for this thread but it's incredibly sweet at moments.

    I just realized that I read the wrong novel. The one with despicable character is Underdog Versus Boss. I was wondering why the summary and story didn't match at all...
