Literally what the title says, I'm looking for good romance novels to read.

I've read a fair bit on Webnovel so far, but I'm far from knowing every nook and cranny. Thus, I am sure that I'm missing out on some good romances. I'm interested into other genres as well, but I was just surprised by the lack of "good" romances found here despite the huge number of Romance Fictions. Honestly, the number of good romances in stories that I ALSO liked literally could be counted on one hand.

I consider "good" romances to be:

  • Realistic
  • Well-paced --> Has build up and stages of romance/closeness
  • Healthy/Supportive
  • Flawed characters that aren't totally both perfect but complement one another

What I don't want to see:

  • None of that get in bed right away after meeting crap please, those are a dime in a dozen
  • Love at first sight then quickly girlfriend and boyfriend or even married? Nope, no thanks
  • Non-consensual relations, like, really people?
  • Weak af FL (or ML altho I haven't seen this yet) who gets pushed around by the ML and has no brains (or feelings of being hurt at that) whatsoever

Of course, there can be exceptions such as contractual/arranged marriages where the two warm up to one another. That's fine.

Hopefully I can be lead in the right direction of some hidden gems~ >.<
Please recommend novels!

    Chryiss table for two by yours truly Lonelytree. It was realistic fiction. Then the If the deep sea forget about you (not sure about the title)
    Edit: try the realistic fiction genre

      Chryiss Why not throw in some steak knives while you're at it XD :smile_cat: Joking... very bad joke. This is me being tired kitty. 10 hr work days sux.

      Seriously, check out my CEO Romance. It's totally unrealistic yet realistic... :thinking:

      Okay. 90% of the characters are gay and appealing, doesn't mean they're perfect.

      Bradley's blinken hopeless and wimpy. Adrian's whimsical and meh. Adam is desperate dude who just wants his man (is it too much to ask for reciprocal love? Author = bwahaha. When Webnovel pays for my words, I give you love). Jace is, well, Jace. Deacon is obviously a cranky antagonist fixated on Adam. Angie is too organized for everyone else but herself.

      Aah crap, I just gave away my story.

      Chryiss here's mine haha!
      tbh romance is suuuuuper slow but I promise it's there and will be a main focus of the story later on! the current chapters are more focused on art and the FL trying to escape her destiny though :D

      Power Up, Artist Yang!

        StenDuring Eh I’m actually ok with that if it’s done well. XD Oddly enough I haven’t seen many high school stories on here. College more so. I can only think of yours actually.

          Hotwakili Read the comic but didn’t finish reading the book completely yet. It’s pretty good, but I can’t say I haven’t seen the cold but actually passionate (and some awkward lol I mean that in a good way) kind of CEO lead.

          Thanks though; however, I’m looking more for books that aren’t as easily found on the front pages/lists.

          Chryiss There are a few. Rather unsurprisingly they're usually Japanese influenced (like mine). Different original market compared to the Chinese one I guess.
