Good BL with action, adventure, military, etc... when you're bored with plain romantic plots! Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Modern and future settings, mainly danmei... ... more>>

I tried my best to leave some trigger warnings on this list where I think some readers might find objectionable content (there seems to be more of that in dramatic and action oriented novels). I hope that people can take the genres labeled Adult and Mature as well as tags like R*pe, R*pist Becomes Lover, S*xual Abuse etc seriously. I think it's always a good idea for people to check tags and reviews of a novel before starting out, otherwise you can end up wasting time because halfway through (or even further on), you read something that is upsetting and then drop the novel. That's a habit I picked up after reading a ton of manga and webtoons. It's also very useful with novels! If you want to do that with Western novels, I would check out the website/app Goodreads (which also has Asian web novels, mangas and more listed there along with reader tags and reviews). <<less

Quality BL romance stories with some dramatic plots involved (not action or adventure oriented, those titles I saved in the Action BL rec list I made). Be prepared with Kleenex! (╥﹏╥) ... more>>

Some of these I read several times because even though I don't like tragic plots, sometimes I like a story with heartbreak... I removed the action and adventure titles and put them in my Action BL rec list instead.

Modern settings only. Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Too many titles to sort in order of personal preference, so I sorted them alphabetically.

List will be updated if and when new titles appear or get licensed; if you know other novels with official English translations of their manhua adaptations that are here on novelupdates, please let me know in the comments. <<less

Danmei adapted to manhuas that have official English translations (completed/ongoing/discontinued) + where to read them (status included: ongoing unless stated otherwise). Most manhuas are R15 even when the novel's genre is yaoi.... more>>

Novels/manhuas that are printed or announced to be printed are put on the first page of the list. Works written by the same author are put together. Novels are sorted by their popularity.

Since the list reached 1oo positions, I created its second part, however they will be _both_ updated if and when new titles appear or get licensed, with new title's place based on the novel's popularity and/or whether the author's other works are on the list already. If you know danmeis with official English translations of their manhua adaptations that are here on novelupdates but not yet on my list, please let me know in the comments.

- Once again, it is ordered by ranking, not by which one I like  the most or whatever.

- I go through phases when reading so sometimes you’ll see a lot of showbiz shenanigans or a bunch of ETL tropes. Honestly, it’s just what I’m feeling at the time. 

- Also, if you see the last updated date is from long ago, that doesn't mean I've dropped this list. I have phases of reading so I'll go through webnovel reading phase and that's when I mass read and update the list.  <<less

never fully finished these but i finished the manhwas
