Each BL has personal notes about its content and qualities according to reviews (ie. lots of angst, good plot, presence of female characters, heavy read, light read, etc.) <<less

Top-tier romance danmeis that I still occasionally think about, it’s not just about two guys falling in love but two people who wish to do their best for each other and grow up to be the best versions of themselves.... more>>

Absolutely amazing unlimited flow BL novels. They also have my personal ratings and reviews for each. I'd say I have high standards and pretty good taste, so all of these novels are highly recommended. Should be ordered from highest personal rating -> lowest.... more>>

roughly sorted in order of enjoyment... more>>

recommendations welcome <<less

All of these are, IMO, must-reads. Hands-down some of the best novels here. I've also included my own personal ratings and opinions of each of these novels. Well-written stories, great plots, characters, etc. I have relatively high standards for these to be my favorites, so these are all really high quality. I can't recommend them enough! coincidentally, all of them also have very high ratings (4.3-4.8)... more>>

Actively being updated. I haven't finished writing reviews/ratings for all of them yet, but I will in time. Meant to be ordered by highest personal ratings -> lowest personal ratings, but haven't had time to fix it yet. These are also my own opinions and feelings regarding each novel, so they won't be particularly eloquent, and you can definitely disagree. It's just me rambling.

Also added some ones I haven't read but will read and I know i will love. Feel free to recommend any danmei too!

...somehow, this also turned into a list of danmei I also want to read, not just a review of the ones I've read. I really can't control myself from looking for good danmei. Though, I'm sure I'll get to reviewing all of these someday <<less

 tired of reading third view point novels? or are you a fan of first view point? Then This list will help you... more>>

Also this list is compiled of completed works and also not fully translated novels.  <<less

My top bl novels and what I enjoyed about them :) Also its mostly based of vibes and if I liked them. List will only have completed novels that have been fully translated.  Also look at the tags of the novels. I am pretty much fine with anything, so my chosen novels can go to two extremes- sweet to dark. ... more>>

In short this is a list of BL I believe need to be given a chance.  <<less

A very clever - often ruthless or thundere - MC shou ready to give a well deserved faceslapping to any who need it. Are soft(ish)... more>> for their gong lover - though he might occationally need to be kept in check as well. The MC is full of initiative and not sit back or let anyone push them around (they may graciously ALLOW their gong to push them down. But that’s it!) <<less

A clever (often reborn or transmigrated) MC enters the entertainment industry enlightened and with old skills. Seemingly cold or cruel ML offers to back them.... more>> They say yes, bc they now know who the MCs real enemies are. (Features scum exes, scheming characters, face slapping, love, and often cute kids) <<less

Novels where the main protagonist transmigrates (or something similar) into a villain, who may or may not reform and become a "good" guy.

love clever scheming FLs who are strong and not damsels in distress. Most are Ancient Chinese but once in a while I'll read one thats... more>> not. Mostly read completed novels <<less

Cunning, calculative, clever female leads with top tier sharp barb dialogues.

After reading on NovelUpdates for 7+ years, this is my ongoing list of novels that were actually worth my time. I will mark which novels are for casual reading or not worth re-reading.... more>>

- No specific genre or plot types. 

- Mix of het, BL, and novels with no romance for the protagonist.

- Some healthy and some not-so-healthy relationships, but this is fiction!

- Some are more plot-heavy with lots of feelings, while others are for casual reading or a break from tragedy. 

- Novels by MXTX and any novels with official English localization not included on the list. <<less
