Can anyone recommend an online lesbian novel to me?

i can recommend Story About Buying My Classmate Once A Week. I started reading that after running out of chapters of A Story About Buying a Classmate Once a Week ~ 5,000 Yen for an Excuse to Spend Time Together and learning it's based on a Web/light novel.
We also have a forum thread dedicated to the novel here.

Since then, I've read

• If I could Mail You a Book
• Purely by Accident

Those are all translations, from Japanese, and Chinese, respectively. I speak two other languages besides English (Deutsch, and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian), and really wish I could diversify my lesbian (smut) portfolio.

in general, https://www.novelupdates.com/genre/yuri/ is… a poor starting point. but you can filter it down to your interests: https://www.novelupdates.com/series-finder/

Thank you! I know an author who also writes lesbian stories. The female characters are badass. But you should be of legal age to read her works and need to subscribe to a membership every month. I love every stories she made.

I highly recommend Please Don't Laugh's (a.k.a. Qing Jun Mo Xiao) novels. There are English translations of Female General and Eldest Princess, Clear and Muddy Loss of Love (a.k.a. JWQS), and Matrilocal Marriage (a.k.a. Ruzhui) out there, all of which are brilliant.

Love to see ppl mention translated baihe novels, I'd like to recommend a short historical one that got official translation on a niche baihe only site: https://baiheverse.com/en/novels/the-clouds-of-past-millennia-en, the translator is same as If I could Mail You a Book mentioned above

Anything on Yoru world, but specifically these:

After Marking Commander O, I was Forced into a Flash Marriage! https://app.yoru.world/story/553 [Yuri ABO but the ABO really isn’t a focus, great slow burn with comedy, action, strategy, and high stakes. The translation is complete, hoping this gets a manhua that’s actually invested in how it deserves to be.]

My Wife Refuses to Divorce https://app.yoru.world/story/325 [about 2/3rds translated, also Yuri ABO but again not really a focus. Action and high stakes and can get pretty emotional at points, definitely my favorite baihe nobel ever at this point. Character development is top tier and the plot twists are fun.]

Any Way but Away from You https://app.yoru.world/story/221 [A little slow, super slow burn and its being updated weekly but once the story gets to around chapter 75 it becomes really good. The love interest is hateable at first but they genuinely earn the happy ending. Even though its not fully translated yet reading as it updates will be worth it (I mtl’d the rest)]

Long Awaited Feelings https://app.yoru.world/story/172 [The webtoon is actually being uploaded here, but the novel is fully translated on Yoru world. It was very sweet.]

Yoru world is a good yuri/baihe novel site and seems very lowkey afaik. There’s literally new yuri novels being translated and added everyday and a pretty substantial backlog to tide you over while you wait.

For a more Western piece of lesbian art with spooky monsters and flower language, I would recommend Katalepsis:
https://katalepsis.net/2019/02/02/mind-correlating-1-1/
It's a web-serial been running for several years and finished the first "book" (as in main story arc) a few months ago, and is now sitting at over 2M words. It took me about two months to binge. Book Two is ongoing and updates a few times a month.

It's so long that I don't know how to describe it other than "cosmic horror, found family, and the power of forgiveness, lesbians, and easy-to-forget violence."
