Keep Going Straight Ahead

Any Books Where the Female Lead Is Smart Throughout and Focused on Her Career?

Looking for a female lead who’s smart and focused on building her career, with no romance, no family members holding her back, and no awful people. I can’t get through stories with naive, silly female leads. I pick up a story about a strong female lead, only to find a romance plot influenced by outside forces, and it just feels so icky. @Ru Ru Ru Ye @You Mang♬ @Wu Jin Kong

Looking for Clear-Headed Adult Stories Where the Leads Are Smart and Don’t Let Romance Cloud Their Judgment

Strong, Cool-Headed, Highly Intelligent Heroines, and Heroes Who Aren’t Goofballs

Good Values, a Powerful Female Lead Who Isn’t a Foolish Beauty, and Impossible to Put Down

This is so good, I don’t need to say more. Highly recommended!!!!!

High Quality, Logical, Brilliant Female Lead, Gripping Story

Looking for a Smart, Clever Female Lead Who Doesn't Suddenly Lose Her Intelligence

Looking for a Sweet Story With a Strong, Cold Female Lead, Sound Values, and Consistent Characterization

The female lead isn’t a chuunibyou, and there shouldn’t be pages and pages of inner monologue.

Looking for a Smart, Capable Female Lead!! The Writing Must Be Good!! No Novice-Friendly Stories!

I'm looking for books similar to *The Divorced Princess's Comeback*. Preferably with a couple and an intense, drawn-out period of romantic tension, though no romance is fine too. No stories that start strong and then fall apart, and no stupid stories that claim the heroine is strong when she's actually weak! Nothing cringey! The characters need to have sound values! Please recommend for high school readers and up.

Recommend Me a Book with Some Brains

Nothing brainless, please. Life is already freaking mindless enough, with people going around without using their brains. Give me something that makes me think. No wish-fulfillment fluff or shallow power fantasies. Don't recommend Dali. I got traumatized, and now whenever a woman shows up in a book, I worry she'll end up with the male lead.

Guys, I’m Seriously Out of Books to Read. I’ve Put 2,000 Hours Into This, Please Recommend Something Good
