straight romance with likable leads

I've seen my fair share of boring mary sues and unlikable female leads who make all the wrong decisions. So, to spare you the pain of reading clichéd stories with irritating characters, here is a list of romance webtoons/mangas with endearing, unique or admirable female leads that you can't help but root for.
