The most frustrating thing is when I hit browse and the only options are... Fantasy Romance, Sci-Fi Romance, Eastern Romance... why is it all romance options for the female leads? Like omg... why is it the only way we can have a female lead novel is if they are dating someone or have a man to help them. Can we not get more general options in browse like the male lead protagonist has?

Non- Suggestion but if someone wants to recommend novels to me:
The reason why 'It's not easy being a man in the future' is because it has minimal romance (atm). Not saying I can't handle romance but I don't want it to be the main focus of the story it is so draining assuming women need to fall in love or whatever to succeed.

If anyone knows of a story like the one I spoke of above link them, please.

Fav. Genres:
Fantasy, Action, Gender Bender (this is one of the options I can handle the romance cause its funny), Military, Magic, Academy, Cultivation, Gaming

    Release that Man
    Gender Bender, Modern, Comedy, Slight romance
    MC suddenly turned into a Man then after certain hours, she'll turn again into a woman. Lol. It's funny because they assuming her male form is her boyfriend.

    Shift! The Side-Character Heroine
    Complete, Modern, Supernatural, slight romance
    MC have the ability to become a character into the manga, novel [can't remember others] and change the turn of events in the story resulting with the authors getting confuse lol. She get abilities after she completed a story.

    National School Prince Is A Girl
    Gender Bender, Sweet, Romance, Hacker
    Cringy title but Kinda okay, can't remember lol.

    My Dad Is the Galaxy's Prince Charming
    Complete, Fantasy, Comedy, Romance
    Dubious title but full of comedy. If you already read My disciple died yet again, then same author.

    and Lady cultivator, Doomsday Wonderland, Zombie Sister Strategy. <= Haven't read these but heard they non romance.

        [Reign of the Hunters]
        Novel Updates Link
        Direct Link to Chapter 1
        Rebirth, VMMORPG, Cold/Ruthless Protagonist

        This is translated novel outside but also under Qidian. God I absolutely love this novel.
        MC goes back years ago when her life isn't sht yet. And she decided to become a pro gamer to help her fam. Very similar to most Male Lead vmmorpg novels

          Kyazi The most frustrating thing is when I hit browse and the only options are... Fantasy Romance, Sci-Fi Romance, Eastern Romance... why is it all romance options for the female leads?

          Those with female protagonist novel but no romance are under the Male Lead section,lol i.e Doomsday Wonderland, Shift! Side Character Heroine. (translations)

              historical novel, it's supposed to be more romance-focused later on, but the romance is very slow & the FL is independent as she tries to solve all her problems by herself. it's at 164 chapters right now & FL is just trying to live her life, ngl. not any of the fav genres you listed, but dropping it here b/c there might be others who are also looking for slow/late romance and like this genre. u_u

                  All_Night I would recommend Doomsday Wonderland little to no romance with a female Protagonist. Atleast as far as I’ve read. (chapter 500)

                  I was just beginning to read it since I heard high reviews for it but then fast pass thing happened. Can't binge read it before the novel I follow is completed. Although I haven't caught up to chapters where premium starts, I dropped it then. Waiting for it to be at daily free section again.

                  KGeno That explains why my novel is in that section. I thought it was a mistake.

                  Oh wow, I thought it only happen in translations. WN should change it Fantasy Romance, Eastern Romance and just make Romance a tag.

                        KGeno

                        I had a discussion with another user months ago about the same thing, since my own novels also have that issue.

                        Novels with clear female MCs were, and are still, placed under the male lead section. Also, notice how some of the stories in the FL section is a male protagonist but it's a BL romance.

                            burntpotato Maybe because it's written in a language other than English or because it's horror and there aren't many of those in my language. I will follow your suggestion to see what happens

                                CCmei Ah I thought it was a more particular problem it seems that Webnovel should review its classification system.

                                    Yeah, we joked that there were no Male and Female Lead sections. Only an 'Everything else' section and a 'Romance' section.

                                    Female lead novels definitely exist on the translated and original list but they're not exactly easy to find nor are they anywhere near as promoted. Then again the promotion system here is also more than a little skewed so, eh good look to everyone looking for the right things to read. Same boat while WN classification system is still like this.

                                        Kyazi If she's a female she wants the D. If she doesn't want the D she's a male protagonist and belongs in the male protagonist section LOL.

                                            thank you everyone. I was so annoyed earlier. Also glad to know the female leads are in male lead section to thats a biy confusing. Wish the filter system was better on this app.

                                            thanks again I will browse these suggestions :]

                                              There's also Muchuan and Xiang Wan (previously known as Murder the Dream Guy) and When a Snail Falls in Love which are both murder mysteries. They're both more of a slice of life mondern romance but it doesn't overwhelm the plot.

                                              I second Release that Man (first few couple of chapters are a bit ridiculous but after that she's like a female James Bond) and Empress Livestream.

                                              And be warned about Doomsday. The 3rd or 4th arc has some extreme gore. Very disturbing. Lucky you can just skip it without missing much.

                                              Edit: Maybe you could try Coming of the Female Boss too. It spans several different worlds so I suggest you find the NU spoiler thread to look up which stories you what. But romance is so lacking people complain non-stop in the comment section 😂 Mc defends her food with a passion mc x food forever lol

                                                I've always seen praises for Ding Mo's novel yet I never tried any of them. Your recommendation gave me a push. I just finished binge reading it and thank you very much for the gem. UwU
