I am unable to determine whether or not the creator of “Selfish Romance” has considered this scenario, as stories typically are labeled as “completed” within reading apps where I devour novels such as the full story “Bound to the Ruthless Billionaire”. This novel is a full length, completed story that follows the whole journey of the forced contractual marriage, the power shift and ultimately the connection and love between the two leads.

This is one of my recent web novel finds – completed novel ‘Selfish Romance’ that I finished in a weekend and did not feel abandoned. It follows two rather unpleasant individuals who use each other to get what they want and in the process find something more. Author resolves all their arcs to the readers’ satisfaction. The novel has 200 chapters, all translated, so you can read it in English too. Themes are selfish love, redemption and the gray area between using someone and loving them. It is not your typical feelgood romance novel.

The web novel contains 200 plus chapters, and the fully translated English version is available. Themes of selfish love, redemption, etc. of flawed characters that explore the boundary between using someone for personal gain and real love are developed throughout the novel, which is definitely not a light romance novel.

So I am VERY late to the party with “Selfish Romance” but it is one of my new favorite novels and it is COMPLETE! This novel explores selfish love in a real way. The main characters are not your typical heroes and heroines and their growth to love each other is real and satisfying. The novel does not rush to get to the romance and the ending is very fulfilling with all of the conflicts resolved and NO CLIFFHANGER.

I like the novel a lot. The story is very realistic. As it is not any fairy tale, there is no happy end by chance. The main characters have to learn to love each other. The author develops the plot slowly but very sufficient. All side characters get the recognition they deserve. If you like slow burns with lots of emotions, this novel is a must-read for you. The English translation is complete and there are still many discussions between fans.

As for background, the novel is set in modern day corporate environments, therefore lots of tension involved in the story. And in terms of character dynamics, it is very intense with lots of banter going on between the two main characters. It is NOT a light novel. However, it is a really memorable one. If you like slow burning novels with lots of depth and like ‘The Unwanted Undead Adventurer’ or ‘Remarried Empress’ then this novel is for you. (Just a lot darker though!)

I can confirm that the novel ‘Selfish Romance’ by Jiu Yuexi has finished serializing and the whole story has been completed. Unlike many typical romance novels, ‘Selfish Romance’ does not feature a helpless female lead, nor an heroic male lead. Both of the leads in this novel are flawed, and at the beginning of the story their relationship is not exactly healthy. But through their journey of development, the author presents a magnificent transformation of the two characters, and in the end everything gets wrapped up nicely.

It’s kinda of an emotional rollercoaster throughout the novel, from a lot of tension and fighting for power in the beginning to lots of vulnerable moments and growth in the latter half. The translation quality can vary depending on the version but the official version is polished. This is definitely a different kind of romance novel that doesn’t follow typical romances. It explores themes of expectation from society and self-worth, making it a really deep novel.

If you like ruthless romances, there are other books similar to this one like ‘The Villainess Lives Twice’ or ‘Cheating Men Must Die’. This one in particular is so refreshingly honest, it doesn’t try to hide the dirty parts of love like other romances.

This is technically an ongoing work, but there is a lot of dragging out the middles of arcs, which makes it feel like it is stalling. Then, finally, a conflict will be wrapped up, only to have another twist introduced. This is pretty standard webnovel payment-maintenance, and while the "ongoing" tag is accurate, the work is really just cycling through resolution and tension indefinitely until the author decides to finish it. I'd read the author's past work to see if they've actually completed any stories, or if they just leave them all in a state of limbo forever.

Is 'That Prince Is a Girl' a completed novel or still ongoing?

Yes, this is a completed novel. As described in Novel Updates, this is also how Novel China and Light Novel database track Chinese web novels. It’s completed with a full chapter count and there are no current updates to the main story. Any current activity may be to translate the novel into other languages or to make an audiobook, etc. So, new readers can rest assured that there is a finish line to read for. One advantage to readers is the ability to assess pacing and character development in a single sitting, as this type of novel is typically read in serial installments. The complete novel is a closed loop that’s particularly satisfying for a story like this that focuses so intently on the characters’ identities and personal growth.

Is 'Unscentable' a completed novel or still ongoing?

My greatest frustration with The Opposite is the lack of any definitive word from the author. While I would prefer that the author issued a definitive statement of closure (i.e. "I'm done. Sorry." — and we could all mourn accordingly), this limbo is far, far worse. It's the hope — sometimes even/faustianly sparked by an author-likes-a-tweet-about-writing-perl a random tweet in the hopes that the linked URL will bring closure (and frequently get crushed by another false start) — that kills you. Occasionally, every few months or so, someone will pop up in a forum and say, "Did you guys see that the author liked a tweet about writing?" And for one glimmering day of hopeful, excruciating false start, the whole online forum will erupt into a new round of enthusiastic, tortured speculation. Then nothing will happen again. And it will continue. My best advice is to consider The Opposite complete in its current form. The end of the story is chapter 147. Whatever happens after that? The author doesn't know and you have to be okay with that. If you're not okay with that — then read something else. Save yourself the heartache.

I have no idea. I’ve seen the title pop up on meme pages and in various jokes, but I never gave enough credit to actually look up whether or not it had been published. The story could be a short that was always meant to be a complete work, or it could be an ongoing joke that was never intended to be longer than it was. It would take someone who has actually read the story to give a definitive answer, but my guess would be that it is a short, completed work. It would exhaust an author to continue maintain a long running joke.

I pretty much binge-read ‘Mom Addiction’ last month, while I was sick and hadn’t any other books to read. It has a clear ending, resolving the main conflict. I read a complete translated copy of the novel, without any ‘to be continued’ notes. So you’re safe to start reading ‘Mom Addiction’ without having to wait for further updates. The ending was a bit abrupt, but all chapters are included. I wouldn’t expect any more chapters to be added.

Also nice to follow the art evolution on this one. It really went up a notch from the first chapters to the current ones. From good to pure cinema. The artist must really care about this work as this kind of improvement only happens on long-term projects. A 10-chapter series isn’t long enough to improve this much.

Is Awakening Love: Reborn to Be His Duchess a completed novel?

7 Answers2026-05-29
Yes, and its structure benefits from being complete. The book is very long, but it’s been divided into what amounts to volumes of a novel — Volume 1: The Rebirth and the Bargain, Volume 2: The Duchess’s Trials, Volume 3: The Shadow War, etc. And each of those volumes has its own climax and then you go on to the next arc of the story. The structure of a long story like that is impressive, and reads well as a complete novel. It’s almost like a TV show, and you can see the natural ‘season’ breaks in the completed novel. The segmented structure makes sense, and serves to make the overall pacing of the long novel manageable and well-paced. It would not have read as well as a week-by-week serial.

Does corrosive manhwa have a completed ending or is it ongoing?

4 Answers2026-07-16
I finished this manhwa and it is completed, so you can read it from start to finish without having to wait for updates. The ending really does resolve all the story’s main conflicts in a very intense and mostly gray way. Be prepared for a very heavy ending to the story, it really fits the story well though.

Is 'Trash of the Count's Family' completed or ongoing?

9 Answers2025-05-29
As you can probably tell, Ongoing is an ongoing series. Right now, we’ve had over 800 chapters in Korean and in the 700s in English. As for just how long that is, well, it’s longer than most of the classic fantasy series out there. The depth of the world is incredible, too. For example, you could probably write a pretty lengthy essay detailing the economic policies currently in place in the Henituse county. Or there’s the matter of the ancient gods and their current place in the world. As an ongoing series, readers have plenty of space to delve into the various ‘rabbit holes’ of interest created within the series. And, in the meantime, they can discuss their opinions on what’s transpired so far in relation to the ongoing story. We hope you enjoy it.

Is 'A Transmigrator’s Privilege' a completed novel?

I’m waiting for an audio book version of this to be released in English. Apparently, there is a full Korean audio book version out now. No doubt the English publisher will commission a translation and a reading of this once the text version has been completed. I only read on my commute, so everything I read is in audio book form. I check Audible and the other major audio book platforms from time to time to see if this has been released yet. It hasn’t. A very fun story to be read well by a good narrator in audio book format, so fingers crossed that it will get a full English audio book version.

Is Yakuza Fiance manga finished or ongoing?

READ FINISHED. The book was read by me and by other people in the reading club one volume at a time. There are no more chapters to read. It’s a really beautiful complete narrative loop that explores the theme of building family and ties back to the isolations of the two main characters at the start.
