Historical Novels Set in Europe

Stories set in ancient or modern-era Europe, but not contemporary times. No characters getting dumber for the plot, and a solid grasp of history. European history, not Chinese historical fiction.

Any Sensible Alternate-History Novels? No Brain-Dead Plots, Just Solid Logic

I don’t want books about Chinese history. I want something made up.

Ahhh, Ladies, I Want Female-Oriented Novels! Female-Oriented Novels!!!!!!!

I want female-oriented fiction, but not the kind where all the women fight over one male lead. There can be a male lead, but I don’t want the story to cater to men!!!!!

Looking for Political Scheming with a Female Lead Who Controls the Board: Highly Intelligent, Cold, and Powerful

A political intrigue story where the whole world is a chessboard and the heroine is the mastermind moving the pieces. Any identity is fine, preferably a high-status one. A strong heroine, with or without romance, but no story where everyone acts like an idiot.

Murder, Violence, Darkness, and Utter Ruthlessness. No Elegance

Any Novels About Western Aristocrats, Preferably Set in Europe?

For example, otome novels with a Western literary style

The Protagonist Must Be Truly Vicious and Really Good at Putting on an Act

Looking for books like "Quick Transmigration: Love at First Sight". I've read so many stories where the protagonist plays a vicious cannon-fodder character and gets found out. I'd like the opposite: a protagonist who's two-faced, acting like an innocent, sweet little white flower on the outside but actually a nasty, manipulative green tea. She should be really good at pretending.

Any Stories About Political Intrigue, Masterminds, and Biding One's Time?

Novels About Scheming and Political Intrigue

Anything is fine as long as it isn't set in modern times.

Looking for a High-IQ Female Villain Who Has the Protagonist Eating Out of Her Hand

A highly intelligent villain who toys with the protagonist and ultimately kills them. Female-oriented fiction!!!!

I Want a Smart Protagonist Who Plans Ahead and Controls the Whole Situation

Are There No Good Female-Oriented Novels Anymore!!!😭

I just want some romance novels where the leads are more likable, ladies! I've read a few lately, and the leads were written to be rather off-putting. It felt so weird! Quick transmigration or transmigration are both fine. Just no yandere characters! No yandere characters! No yandere characters!

Yandere, Love at First Sight, Dark and Brooding

Looking for books similar to The Delicate Background Character Is Always Coveted by the Crazy Male Lead (He Never Stops Coveting Her). Please, I'm completely out of books to read. Recommend me something! Please avoid awkward writing 🥲

A High-IQ Villain Pulling the Strings, Playing the Whole World Like a Game of Chess

I'd like to read about compelling villains. They don't have to be amazing, just comparable to these: Hades, Aizen, and Major. The villain absolutely has to have charisma.

Looking for Political Intrigue Novels for Female Readers!

I want stories with a strong sense of patriotism, good writing, and little romance, preferably no couples. No household infighting or palace intrigue!!!

High-IQ Palace Intrigue, No Foolish, Innocent Saintly Heroines, and a Twisty Plot
