I don't like abusive, dog-blood drama, and weak characterization. I don't like Imbalanced Couple where the Seme/Gong is too Overbearing. I don't like weak, femininized, Uninteresting/Lackluster Uke, or bratty/silly Shou whose IQ drop drastically when encountering the Gong.  ... more>>

So these are a few novels with good plots, and mainly consist of interesting MC and good ML I strongly recommend. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NOVELS IN THIS LIST IS RANDOMLY LISTED WITHOUT FIXED RANKING, and also these are only novels that I HAVE READ. 
This list will randomly be updated if I find another worth noting novel. <<less

The title says it all. BLs with a healthy power dynamic (mostly, since those are pretty rare), well-developed leads, great storylines, almost no unhealthy and unrealistic characterisations like yandere MLs or MCs with questionable IQs. Some exceptions are there, though; I've added the novels I liked despite them having somewhat yandere character(s).... more>>

I've added all the novels that checked off most of the boxes and noted everything I might have liked/disliked about those novels while reading. 

The rankings on each novel don't really matter (except for the ones at the beginning). Don't forget the ones at the bottom, although they're the ones I personally didn't like much! But you might!  <<less

<<  Shounen Ai & Yaoi novels  >>
Main Character wakes up / in another world / as someone else / in the past... more>>

- Good plot w/ Happy Endings?

- Check my reading lists cause they're all gathered there. 290+ BL novels and adding more everyday :) <<less

[NOT RANKED]... more>>

I'm tired of the double standards, third parties, unnecessary drama, scumbags etc. This list features extremely devoted couple! 1v1 HE. Totally safe to read. 

Gong (Seme) and Shou(Uke) are each others first & only s*xual partner; first & only love.  (Either it's explicitly mentioned, mentioned by the author, mentioned between the lines, or assumed in some cases if no other partners/ prior experience is mentioned). No exes, cinnabar moles, substitutes etc. 

No other partners in case of a seperation or breakup. 

No getting r*ped/ assaulted/ kissed/ mol*sted by passerbys or supporting leads. No love triangles or leading others on. If there's a harem it should be dismissed by the end. If either Gong or Shou are actors, then they should be the type that doesn't do intimate scenes. 

No kids involving other women (surrogacy). No marriage of convenience with other woman. 

P.S I only have requirements for the main cp. 

********************************
I'll try my best to eventually mark the details...

Part 2 : https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/52161/ <<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

let's discuss below about the novels !!! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ i just really want more people to at least know these stories BECAUSE i think they deserve more... more>> attention because some barely even reach 1000 reads  !?!?!,,, and also please suggest on the comments since i'll be adding on this list daily :D <<less

My all time favorite bl novels that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone!

Part II! Continue at https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/14984/ <<less

These are the novels which has good plotline and smex scenes. I have included short novels as well if their is a considerable plot. (Some novels even after having just 10 chapters can have good plotline)... more>>

Degree varies; whether the scenes are detailed or not is mentioned

I personally prefer such novels where 'willing' physical intimacy is also shown. So descriptions are based on my likeness to the relationship.

Consent.is.Important. 

I have only included the ones I have read.

If you have novel recommendation(s) please comment.

I read sooo many novels but only a bit I can rate more than 4.5
So, this list consist the novels that I truly enjoy, definitely the stories with top notch plot and I love the characters. Or maybe an average plot but has its own uniqueness. Totally worthy my time to read them. Definitely with reread and recommend to anyone. ... more>>

Mostly consist of either one of them: mature leads, fantasy / action, slice of life, good world building

Not in specific rank.

Any recommendation is very WELCOME! <<less

Hope you can also recommend interesting novels to me. Thanks. <<less

No description.

Recommendation for reader that looking for protagonist that devoted to one fmc . Not shoujo or jousei genre and not looking for harem ending

these are the high-quality BL translations that i've read from the Yaoi/Shounen Ai categories; the ones that I go back to re-read again and again~... more>>

Happy Endings, Fluff (or at least good feels), and Ass-kicking only! I don't really read many angst/modern drama novels. <<less

I love romance, what I don't love is reading 10+ volumes without progression while the romance tag laugh at me in the series' description, so here are some series where the romance happens within a good amount of time.... more>>

(no harem of course)

if you know any series that fits the description above, it'd be awesome if you'd leave it in the comments <<less

You're at the right place if... more>>

↬You're tired of: Non-con | Major power imbalance | Romanticisation of toxic, manipulative, and controlling behaviour. 

↬And you want: Novels that put emphasis on consent | Mutual respect, trust, and understanding between the main cp | Forehead pecks | Character development | Couple growth | Misunderstandings that get resolved through proper communication. 

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please make sure to first check the tags on these novels before starting them though, as some of them talk about sensitive matters (Mistakenly Saving the Villain for example) 

Also, aside from Saye — which holds a special place in my heart, rest of the list isn't arranged by my personal preferences but rather the covers, as I like to keep my lists colour-coordinated. However, if you were to ask me, my favourite healthy relationships out of these would be — Saye, Mistakenly Saving the Villain, Restricted Area, Heaven Official’s Blessing, and To Rule in a Turbulent World.

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please let me know if there's more novels with healthy relationships or if I accidentally added a novel which doesn't have one ( ˊᵕˋ ; ) <<less

You just try it, you probably won't regret it~ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)... more>>

But getting serious here: The stories in this list are considered to fulfill the following criteria~

•❈• Good characters' development, in general. 

•❈• Good and/or interesting plot setting and following development.

•❈• Good pairing chemistry, development and (so far) a happy ending. There
may or may not be NSFW descriptions, but what I'm mostly judging here is
their relationship as a whole. In short, if I consider the author to
have achieved to create a profound and sincere bond between the
characters, regardless of the horniness they may or not have, it fits here.

Although my judging may not be completely objective, I do consider
myself to be fairly hard to bias, so... Feel free to take a look and
tell me if you do agree with this recompilation's title or not ;3

Happy reading!  ＼( ≧▽≦)／ <<less
