Great Ongoing Novels with Female Leads
Please add this list to your favorites, and send flowers. This list was originally meant to round up good female-lead stories from 2018, but many of the ongoing novels have since finished, so I moved them to genre lists or my main list. These days, it’s mostly for ongoing stories I like. I’m especially fond of historical romance, quick transmigration, and apocalypse stories.
A Love So Deep, I Know Not Where It Leads
I’ve read a lot of books, and there are always a few that linger in my mind. Mostly historical romance, transmigrate, and reborn stories, with sweet romances where the heroine is doted on. I don’t recommend stories without some twists. I like a little complexity, but not monologues.
