Here comes a longass list because I like harem. It's something I've seen many people dislike since they prefer 1-1 couples. However, I like it because even if I hate a ML or two, there's bound to be at least one other ML in the harem who might be likeable. So I'll rather see the MC get chased by the entire gay town™ than read about just one ML who could be insufferable.... more>>

For example, 'I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country' has a somewhat annoying ML but because it's not a harem, you're supposed to suffer through all the paragraphs brimming with his a$$holery, and can only root for him and the MC because no other guy can ever end up with the MC. 

On the other hand, 'The Cruel Tyrant' has a similar theme — a modern dude transmigrating and carrying the responsibility of restoring a kingdom on his shoulders, but it's a harem with different kind of MLs so even if you skip the parts of some MLs you dislike, there's still around 2-3 MLs left you can enjoy reading about. That's not to say I like every harem novel or dislike every non-harem novel though, it's just that I'll like anything as long as it won't have those insufferable characters I'm forced to sit and watch. <<less

Couldn't find a list for this so I just created one myself. This list contains smut novels (or ordinary novels with smut) without dubious consent or non-con. And I might update everytime I come across a novel that fits the criteria, so this list is pretty tiny right now but hopefully won't remain this way forever.... more>>

Also, PLEASE let me know in the comments if you've come across more novels with car rides where both parties are willing, or if any novel here doesn't actually fit the criteria so I can remove it as soon as possible. I've read plenty of the novels here but not all of them, some were recommended through friends I just can't completely trust because they once told me that 2ha was fluffy (f*ck you Sam why did you do that to me), and others were found through manually reading reviews for any mentions of non-con so I could know whether those novels are safe to add or not. 

So, the guidance of my fellow daoists cultivating the dao of consent is much, much appreciated! I want everyone here to be comfy and happy with what they've found.  <<less

A series of BL novels with varying plots and subgenres! Fluff, unlimited flow, xianxia, historical, quick transmigration, transmigration, supernatural, slow romance, comedy, mature (in terms of thinking and actions), etc. ... more>>

Minimal amount of angst and dogblood (if there's even any) (￣▽￣* )ゞ

Edit: I may have taken a bit of a liking towards angst nowadays... only a little. ( ˘︹˘ )

BL's I REALLY LIKE based on my own preference, and *coughs* I don't like s*upid MC's (*￣▽￣*)

Personally, I like MC's and ML's to have equal footing in terms of their overall personality, I don't like delicate shou tropes that much. 

And in my own, very subjective opinion, these novels have really good plots, or at least most of their logic is in the bounds of normal human logic. 

Note: Novels are not sorted according to rank, just depends on what I remembered first _(:3」∠)_ <<less

im tired of all the wuxia and xianxia (not you tgcf, ily) lists, if nobody's going to account for my niche thEN I WILL BAKE MY CAKE AND E A T IT.... more>>

notes: 

• yeah that's right, I'm going to give you Funky Commentary ft. Questionable Opinions for the entirety of this rec list

• i try really hard to organise this from most to least read but ngl, that's really hard to do with executive dysfunction (also honestly I love nearly ALL the novels in this list haha *eyes EIC*)

• ngl i have a certain bias towards horror comedy so if you're here for the really f*cked up sh*t You Will Be Slightly Disappointed,, onlyalil (starting to realise my thirst for horror bl is making this just look like the search results when you tag horror and shounen ai SKFHSDJ)

• no hate for wuxia and xianxia lovers btw, ive just exhausted all my care in trying to find SOMEONE who understands my inherent Need to see more horror bl <<less

This list is full of fluff. No angst, just fluff. Reads that made me smile and giggle all day long to the point of dying from diabetes. LOL. I've finished reading all of these, and are definitely highly recommended! Enjoy :)) PS: This is in no particular order. ... more>>

"The repentance of scum*!"" The repair of scum*!"" The redemption of scum*!"... more>>

It is a theme in many novels. In almost every novel, ML starts out as a Scum*! But there are different types of scum* ... some more acceptable (in context), others intolerable and unforgivable!

They are described as handsome, cold, dominating, powerful, intelligent, ambitious, arrogant, proud, heartless ... However, ironically, they can be easily deceived by misunderstandings, evil suspicions and "the pitiful white lotus"...  and end up mistreating, harming, hurting, abusing, poisoning or torturing FL unfairly. ლಠ益ಠ)ლ

Later, when the truth is revealed, they regret everything they have done, discover that they love FL and cannot live without her! They change to be the best male for FL! Humpf! But it is so late ... hahaha a joke! t(=n=)

We like to see them suffering, begging, crawling ... but it is never enough! Or, unfortunately, they don't even suffer from anything, they don't beg for anything but they keep the girl in the end! (ಠ ∩ಠ)
>>Ok! Not everything is so bad! There are some novels that are good readings when they have a good plot and a strong and capable FL!  <<less

I'M YOUR TYPICAL ROMANCE CONSUMER ALWAYS IN NEED OF SWEETNESS MINUS THE BLOOD SHEDDING AND REVENGE SHENANIGANS. SERIOUSLY, CAN YA'LL JUST CHILL?... more>>

some of these novels may tug your heart a bit and makes you teary-eyed but that makes the story even more sweeter! I'm someone who cannot read a story without knowing if it has a happy ending, so rest assured, your heart is safe with these novels!

these are in no particular order. <<less

Yup, this is a list of novels that nearly killed me.... more>>

Laughed so hard I started choking. These novels aren't meant to be read in silence, ooh no, you will laugh out loud. Whether the time is 1 pm or 1 am you will scream laugh, and cry laugh, and cackle evilly.

My type of humor? I'll explain. Shameless. No-face. Smashing the pot.

Don't understand? Just pick a novel and find out. These novels don't just have "moments" of humor, the plot/characters/setting/situation is entirely fcking hilarious. 

^ And that is why there might be a lot of different types of novels in this list, since the only link is the MC being hilarious. I'll place a type at the beginning of each description and sort similar types together. <<less

Featuring stories which are funny, fluffy and different .

A list of my favorite high school danmei. Mostly slice of life, coming of-age, and slow-born romance. 

Just the good stuff I’ve read over the years. Fair warning, it is mostly danmei. I’ll try my best to read other genres.... more>>

not in any order** <<less

Must read novels in NU !!!! 

If you would tell me the heart of a man, tell me not what he reads, but what he rereads.

Found in the tag :p

Novels that (imo) were/are binge worthy and worthy of re-reading cause they're just THAT good! 

List of stories that portray realistic romance set in modern time. The main leads are adults and mostly have career - which varies from actor, lawyer, doctor, professional athlete, office worker, etc.... more>>

I don't include stories that have mystery/crime as their main or sub genre; there is another list dedicated for it. I also don't include tragedy with bad ending since my heart can't handle too much sadness.

NB: In the list below, you can read the bracket as [Female Lead x Male Lead]. <<less

In longer terms: Couples who doesn't shy away from physical intimacy. Whether it be s*x or just casual touches hehe.... more>>

Sometimes I get withdrawals from the lack of intimacy between my leads. So I just wanna share these novels that have lots of them.

(I'll add my reviews when I feel like it)  <<less

My list of re-read favs in no particular order; most have been re-read at least once, with few exceptions. All romance. All with female protagonists.... more>>

 I tried adding protag-relevant CWs in the description, but I might have missed some. If I can figure out the sorting system, I'll sort them in a last (re)read order.

WARNING: THERE IS SMUT <<less

Are you a reader who's also obsessed with BL novels that has these tropes?? •MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE, ENEMIES TO LOVERS, STRAIGHT SEME/UKE TURNING GAY, WIFE-CHASING CREMATORIUMS, RIVALS TO LOVERS, SCHOOL LIFE, MPREG, SIBLINGS NOT RELATED BY BLOOD, IDOLS, OMEGAVERSE, GUIDEVERSE, SURVIVAL, TRANSMIGRATION, ZOMBIES, ESPORTS, SMUT, SECOND CHANCE. LOVERS REUNITED.... more>>

I do like to bawl my eyes out on some angst but ABSOLUTELY no-no to tragedy or bad endings, I read novels to escape reality and reading HAPPY ENDINGS is the only right way to do so.

CW: my comments aren't hundred percent accurate but I wasn't the type to point out shitty things frequently. Give me a HE and I'm all good. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌ <<less

Stories with Horror, Action, Comedy and Unlimited flow. 

God I absolutely love this concept. It’s so entertaining and in a way, it’s like we ourselves have transmigrated into the book. I’ve got some of the best rebirths transmigration here with hopefully the healthiest and most entertaining couples. ... more>>

This isn’t really an angsty genre and there’s a lot of face slapping.

Please recommend a few as well!
