Absolute Cinema Plots!

Stories that have the best plotlines = Not boring + not cliche + great character progression and portrayal.
Though I can't say they have the most unique premises, the stories definitely progress unlike no other.
*There's no particular order to these stories.*
But I'll try to put the best ones earlier in the list so you could check them out right away!
*Btw, for now most of the stories are Josei, only 1 Yaoi story.

My #1 Recommendation! TRULY *Absolute Cinema* Plot!
+The stories of each character are fleshed out nicely. There's barely any, or none at all, plotholes!
+The story clearly describes the situation in a country after hundreds of years of wars, which is reflected in the characters' personal experiences and personalities.
+Because of that, most parts of the story feels heavy and tragic, even the romance parts. I love this kinds of stories!

I truly LOVE this story! Because it's a romance story that doesn't only focus on happy times.
I think it's a more realistic description of a married couple, and the different way of thinking of each person in a marriage...
It tells you how the beginning of love feels, how passionate love can end with hatred, and how love can be rekindled again.
The angst feels neverending at times, but their quality of life really do improve as you rea

This story is very similar to The Problematic Prince (in this list as well).
But I just think it's not as well fleshed-out like The Problematic Prince since this one is only 40 chapters long.

Technically, FL got double isekai-d. She's a very OP character and she's trying to escape from the world she's living in. However, the evil force trapping her in that world is also trying to devour the 2nd world she got isekai-d to. NOW, I can't tell u much, cuz that evil force is the most unique plot twist of the story.

The plot is quite refreshing, combining a little bit of the supernatural with kingdom fantasy. I honestly came for the BEAUTIFUUUUUL ART, then stayed for the romance between ML and FL is passionate winkwink
No smut tho, I wish there was smut...

Really tragic story as well: FL's life as a female of marriagable age just gets worse and worse, mostly because she's a bastard child.
Her mother is kinda toxic and taught FL to not hesitate to do everything and ANYTHING to get what she wants. Fortunately FL doesn't want to live like that, so far anyway.
Not to mention, the legitimate children bullies FL. FL's mother knows of this, but doesn't do anything about it
...So the FL grows to be a VERY arrogant and stubborn

FL had previously regressed life 3 times, the story is about her 4th life (if im not wrong).
It's mostly psychological themed, cuz FL killed herself in all of her previous lives.
But honestly, compared to other stories in the first page of this list, this story is boring... So now I have forgotten why I even stay waiting for new chapters (•_•)
