I Only Want Otome Stories, Not Original Female Leads! Make Them Easy to Self-Insert Into!
Looking for books like Yokohama Blind Spot Observation Log: Bungo Stray Dogs. Do not recommend anything unless the author has clearly stated that it is a female-oriented romance. Don't recommend stories disguised as female-oriented romance that actually feature an original female protagonist. If I see one, I'll block it and start a new thread. Also, don't recommend authors whose stance is questionable. Keep it safe for everyone, and don't leave anyone out.

I Need Lots of Immersive Otome Stories 😋 So What If I Romance the Whole World?
I want to read something similar to "[Self-Insert] After Entering a Transmigrated Game, You Are Always Coveted by NPCs." Something along those lines. Don't recommend stories with a female lead. Otome stories should revolve around yn, too. No female lead, and nothing written in third or first person. Any genre is fine.

Ideally, something with a beautiful cannon-fodder character, a pampered little beauty whom everyone loves. Please!
Looking for a Male Lead Who’s a Brooding, Creepy Ghost!!! BG Romance Only!!
BG only! BG only!!! No two male leads! No real ghosts! If the heroine can see them, they're just innocent little puppies. If she can't, they'll stalk her wherever she goes and haunt her for life 😭 Getting targeted by a male ghost who likes men in this life means I'm done for!!!

I Don’t Understand!!! I Want Female-Protagonist-Centered Stories Where the Heroine Never Suffers the Slightest Grievance
Why are there none at all! Why are female-oriented novels all about "it's satisfying to torment the wife for a while, and even more satisfying to torment her forever" these days? Are novels where the woman is strong and the man is submissive really that hard to find? Does the heroine have to be brutally mistreated and still stay in love and act like a lovesick puppy? Desperately looking for stories where the man is devoted and chases after the woman.

I stumbled upon a text-based game video while browsing, and it sparked my interest in this type of horror-romance story. However, I hadn't found a similar novel until now. This author perfectly captures the atmosphere, and even uses original ghosts and monsters! I absolutely love the lovestruck puppy knight-serial killer trope.
Although the beginning felt somewhat borrowed from other works, the author truly created something original. Overall, each ghost's design is unique, and they all have their own backstories. The protagonist is a genuinely innocent and kind-hearted beautiful girl [note].
Extremely authoritative So cute! The best male ghost story I've ever read; he avoids "you" even when eating people, mostly eating ghosts and monsters, and not eating children is a plus. Looping plot bonus The ghostly atmosphere is a big plus. Fighting and death scenes are a plus. Everyone will get extra points. Being able to live well is a plus. You guys say, this story about a mad dream and an obsessive love affair with excavators is so adorable (chewing).
I just realized I didn't rate it?! Such a novel theme! The otome perspective is fantastic!! The writing is superb, and the second-person narration is excellent. Some plot points include hallucinations, escape rooms, and a slightly scary game element. (The part about being trapped in a game world and then rewinding is incredibly exciting and thrilling! No spoilers!)
This is a fantastic otome novel! It's very immersive, and gets better as it goes on. I especially love Jack; the image of the big, soaking wet dog gives me such a sense of security. While Gugu and Adrian come later in the story, the author writes about them very movingly; in my opinion, they're second only to Jack.
It's so good, it made my heart ache. It gave me a faint sense of despair, like I could never go home no matter how hard I tried. Speaking of which, Jack is really great, both the raincoat and the flames are so cute, it made me almost forget everything else! He's adorable and would never hurt YN 😢
The author's writing is super good! Also, I really like Jack. I want to know if she ends up with Jack in the end, or if it's open-ended? QAQ I'm exhausted. I advise Yi Dai Mei not to read the comments. They're bad luck.
Wow, that's amazing! Sir, this is truly well-written. Men will go crazy reading it, women will stop menstruating. This is the nemesis of depression, the tranquil bell of a vegetable. It captures the longing and unrequited love of a villager with no family left to care for a widow.
This is the first time I've read a story from this perspective, and it's very novel. It feels like reading a horror otome game from a female perspective; the female lead is me, and I am the female lead. The whole experience is like playing a game. The character designs for each male ghost are also great—pure in body and mind!! Even though the ghost groom has an ex-girlfriend, he's still pure!! All the male ghosts are love-struck 😘
It's really good! The female lead is so charming. She's steadfast from beginning to end and genuinely tries to survive. All her choices are well-thought-out, so there's no sense of her being a "protagonist with a halo." She has absolutely no flaws in terms of intelligence. Even when facing the male leads, she remains intelligent and vigilant, maintaining rationality without being cold-hearted.
