Finished Books Recommended by a Veteran Reader

Maybe I've read too many books, because I can't get into a lot of them and drop them after about three chapters. If I can finish one and enjoy it, it's definitely a gem worth sharing! I'll update this list from time to time. I've read every book on it myself, though I can't guarantee everyone will like them. 😍

I'm in a Reading Slump. I Keep Dropping Books Halfway Through. Please Recommend Anything, Any Genre

Funny stories, preferably ones that are finished!

Looking for a Story Where the Hero Dotes on the Heroine Like Crazy

Looking for a book like *Echoes Through This Life*. The male lead is absolutely devoted to the female lead and has loved her since childhood. He spoils her rotten.

Looking for Pure Historical Settings: No Transmigration, Quick Transmigration, or Rebirth

Ahhh, almost every historical-style story I’ve found involves transmigration, rebirth, or quick transmigration. I want a pure historical setting, with a sweet and gentle female lead. Thanks 🙏🙏

Completed Historical Romance That'll Have You Grinning the Whole Way Through

A completed historical romance, very sweet with no angst. Reborn is fine. Both leads should be strong, and the female lead shouldn't be a self-sacrificing saint or a fake innocent. She should be socially savvy. 😍 Thanks so much, lovely ladies and gentlemen! 😘

Historical Romance with a Heroine Who’s the Legitimate Daughter of a Prestigious Family and Doesn’t Get Pushed Around

Any novels where the male lead isn't an emperor, but is a legitimate heir from a prominent family?

In a Reading Slump With High Standards, Preferably Ancient Romance, Thank You 😊

I have high standards and don't like melodramatic plots. I'm looking for an ancient-era romance. Please avoid the trope where the male lead chases his wife after losing her.

Reborn! Ancient-Era Romance! Legitimate Daughter! Feel-Good Story! Extra Sweet, No Angst!

The female lead has lots of secret identities, the male lead wields immense power, and she's doted on by everyone.

Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System

I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).

Seeking Stories Where the Female Lead Starts Out Noble and Beloved, Without Hiding Her Identity!

I don't want stories where someone is brought back from the countryside and then reveals their secret identity, is neglected, is a concubine-born daughter, gets dumped by a scumbag, or turns out to be a fake heiress, and then gradually rises to power and gets revenge. I don't want brainless face-slapping plots. I'm out of books to read, please help!

Ancient Romance Novels That Leave You Stunned to the Core

No comedy, no revenge against scumbags, and no female or male protagonist with serious issues. They shouldn’t go around causing trouble, and the plot should be exciting.
