   Both are quite good, not the traditional romance genre, but both are heterosexual romance. I haven't seen any side couples in either of them yet. The first one is a fanfiction. So far, all the characters I've read, even those with some semblance of importance, have some kind of affection for the female lead, or simply like her. And there's no BL involved. I'm particularly sensitive to BL, and I genuinely haven't felt any BL tension. Plus, the female lead and every other character in the story are very appealing; all the female lead characters are great. 😘😘 I have to mention the second one. In one world, the male lead is an actor. In the drama he stars in, a male supporting character is using his popularity to promote a BL relationship. The female lead in this world is supposed to be his co-star, so the male and female leads are constantly being promoted as a couple (of course, the male lead hates this male supporting character, and the male supporting character also hates this BL promotion, but they have to for work; both are straight). The author uses this situation to satirize the BL promotion. I really loved the author and the comments section back then. It was so enjoyable to read. I don't know if you like this kind of thing, so I'll just say a word of warning first. In my eyes, this isn't considered BL (Boys' Love). On the contrary, I kept criticizing it for being overly BL-driven. If you don't like it, we can just skip it and read the first one. [Kiss][Kiss] Then, it's still the second book. If you're interested, please read from the female lead's perspective. Don't read from the fan's perspective, or you'll get a headache.

    These four are the best romance novels on my bookshelf, and they're all highly rated. What type of romance are you referring to? There's fantasy romance and modern romance. The first two are fantasy romances. 😀 The first one is slightly angsty but still quite sweet and enjoyable. 😆 The second one is more of an ensemble piece and a bit silly. The third and fourth are modern romances. 😊 The third one is a one-sided redemption story, where the male lead redeems the female lead. The female lead is the kind of soft, shy, and timid girl who can read minds and hear the male lead's thoughts. The male lead is also incredibly cute! The premise is [a seemingly cold but actually love-struck puppy VS a seemingly aloof but actually soft and insecure little snail] 😍 The 4th book is super sweet; the female lead transmigrates into her own novel, becoming a supporting female character and experiencing a series of events. She and the male lead are incredibly sweet. To be precise, it's [a charmingly roguish, loyal, and innocent villain VS a quirky, sweet, cool, and arrogant young lady]. Take all four! 😙😙😙
