⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Passable but won't probably read again or would reread if I get bored and want a familiar novel. 

⭐️⭐️ - Progressed significantly with reading and probably finished just to get it over with.

Modern/fantasy novels list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/83943/?ft=yes <<less

BL & BG (het) tho my preference is BL

Any books that I can re-read over and over, modern or historical :D

Completed in 20-30 chapters, no smut, no contemporary/modern slice of life, rating 3.8 and up. Can be BG/BL/GL.

Contains BL novels based on ancient China setting. *Doesn't include cultivation/xianxia novels.* Might or might not include martial arts, which can be considered to be inside the realm of human capacity, even if a bit far-fetched. No particular order, but all are the best i considered, so low-quality novels are not added.... more>>

Also translated the first chapter of 'Rebirth of the Concubine's Son that Became Respected' just to add it in this list. One of my most favorite BL novels ever.  <<less
