No Romance, Ensemble Cast

Since most stories lose all common sense as soon as they introduce romance, I’ve preferred romance-free stories and ensemble casts pursuing their careers over the past two years. Recommendations are welcome. I’ve read at least half of every novel I recommend. Please let me know if any later developments no longer fit the theme

The Graceful Lady Pharmacist (Not Many Without Romance, Just About Half)

Most books here are ones I've read more than halfway through and found really good! There's something for readers of both men's and women's fiction. When I write a recommendation, I'll try to explain what makes each book worth reading and what sets it apart. I'll also give it a star rating. Feel free to ask me for recommendations in the comments. I read them. I'll update and remove books from time to time. I'll add new books too, but only after I've read enough to be sure they're really good a

Smart Stories with No Romance or Minimal Romance

Just as the title says, I’m a veteran reader. This isn’t a list of books for elementary schoolers. I prefer smart protagonists and read sci-fi, xianxia, fantasy, and mystery. I never expected anyone to bookmark this list. I’d rather find lists that suit my tastes, since I’m always looking for something good to read. (A note about recommendations: I won’t recommend a book from the comments unless I’ve read at least 100 chapters. I’ve read plenty that started well but turned to garbage after the f

Fun, Feel-Good Female-Oriented Novels

Novels I’ve read that are good, interesting, and original Most are new, though there are also completed books and ones with lots of chapters already. There may also be some male-oriented novels without romance. I don’t like formulaic stories or romances so sugary they make your teeth hurt. I prefer female leads who stand on their own as people, rather than living in a man’s shadow or being surrounded by awful people and acting like a miserable saint with a warped view of the world. I tend to rec

(Mostly Female-Oriented!) Pushing the Limits of Danger Again and Again

I'm picky. Picking a book is like finding a partner: it all comes down to fate! ❤️ I've been reading women's fiction for seven or eight years. Don't ask why I read it instead of men's fiction: the male-oriented stuff is way too steeped in chauvinism. Of course, women's fiction has even more duds, so we just have to make do in the cracks 🐴👴 Lately, I'm into books with a Pluto-like vibe! I love astrology ❤️ Note: There are some men's fiction titles! This type of women's fiction is rare, so you can
