Recommendations Post Female MC recommendations.

[JYLewis]

I have been a bit tapped out on Male Leads and while I still read them many of them sort of end up treading the same ground over and over again. So I am posting this as a thread for others who want to see it and find novels that have a good female lead.


Genres: Fantasy, Action, Contemporary (bit more picky on that one), Cultivation, Wuxia, Isekai, Rebirth, etc. Think in that vein for recommendations.

I will start this off by shamelessly posting my own novel as I think a lot of you may enjoy a more slow burn romance/action/fantasy story that isn't just a guy running around collecting a harem and never being in danger due to being "over leveled" in their "zone" they happen to be in at the moment.

I mean i coukd just as easily say, "I have been a bit tapped out on Female Leads and while I still read them many of them sort of end up treading the same ground over and over again"

Lets not pretend this is a problem mainky with male leads. All those favored concubine and golden fei poison master reborn assassin miracle doctor stories out there...

The "a handsome ceo is obsessed with me" stories...

Just saying. Not many trailblazers whether the MC is male or female

A totally fair comment. I guess my issue is more personally tapped out with MC not that their aren't a ton of over used tropes in FL as well. The "reborn master assassin miracle doctor" or "a handsome ceo is obsessed with me" stories are a dime a dozen true.

Well, i don't really know many on this site, but if we're just talking in general then I got a few suggestions.

Kumo desu ga is pretty enjoyable. Honestly the mc is overpowered and I don't think the story would particularly change if she was a male, but it's more 9f a comedy than a serious thing.

poison genius consort is a face slapping series a out court life. The mc has a very niche skill set, but she often has to use it in creative ways. She's also better written than most mcs in this genre as her decisions feel a lot more like what a real person would make.

Twelve kingdoms doesn't always have a female mc, but it's just a fantastic fantasy series in general, I can't really think of any weaknesses for it.

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto is historical mystery with a female mc. I can't say much about this one as I haven't read it yet but I've heard good things.

Katahane no riku is pretty good if you want something more actiony. The mc is strong but there's a lot of people who can beat her. This one is kind of a tragedy though.

And finally, full marks hidden marriage, is a handsome ceo story that somehow manages to be super entertaining despite doing everything I'd usually hate in this kind of novel. Too much face slapping, mc rides the line of being a Mary Sue, male lead is a Gary stu, a crap ending, and not enough attention to the side characters, yet I still like it. Give it a shot, maybe you can break the mystery of why it's so entertaining despite being so wrong.

ahahaha got me laughing there... gosh, I'm also looking for a female MC who is far from the number one assassin-doctor-poison expert-hacker-cultivation master you should bow down to me trope. my brain, heart and other internal organs are tired.

Well you can give mine a read I tried to steer clear of those. I am a bit tired of the "overpowered/chosen one" trope anyways.

I've heard great things about Youjo senki the anime itself was fantastic.

Love the cover art. It really draws you in. Love that style. Might change my own cover to match that style in the future. It is generic and was free so can't complain though. Will read when I have some free time.

Thanks! If you get a chance, I hope you enjoy it. The cover is a new one...I used to have a different one but this one seems to be more well liked than the previous one.

I took a CC piece of art and then artfully cropped it, so it was free too.

That sounds pretty interesting. I'll check it out too.

Yeah, I suggest reading the manga/novel from the start because it had more information and is a little different from the anime.
