Looking for High-Quality Stories with Straightforward Romance!

I want a romance where the leads fall in love at first sight and both communicate directly and openly. Ideally, it’s under 200 chapters and complete. No breaking up over misunderstandings, and no showbiz stories.

Any Stories That Feel True to Life? Please, With Authors Who Use Their Brains!

I don’t want either lead to be stupid. I hope the story has a warm, everyday feel. They don’t have to be rich, but there absolutely shouldn’t be any huge misunderstandings between them. Both should be pure in love, please and thank you. I’ve been reading for years, and so many authors write things that make no sense. Sigh ╯﹏╰

Show Me the Number One Book on Your Shelf ⚠️⚠️⚠️ No Angsty Stories!

I saw someone describe it as a tearjerker and commented that I wouldn't read it because I'm a total crybaby and didn't want to sob. But I couldn't resist. I ended up crying my eyes out late at night, and my sister even made fun of me. I want to find the person who recommended it and ask them to cover the cost of my tissues, but I can't find them anymore 😭
