Note : Novels which are not available on novelupdates can be found in comment box. <<less

The list includes the novels where I found the importance of communication is portrayed. I really prefer the novels where the couple knows the importance of communication.... more>>

I least like the novels which are based upon piled up misunderstandings. The whole plot of the novel revolves around that. If only they could talk it out.

I have only included the ones I have read.

If you have novel recommendation(s) please comment. <<less

[*This list already completed its 100 novel limit. Thus I have created a 2nd once for the same. If interested you can check that out  Gentleman/Considerate Boyfriend (BL) 2.0 https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46710/?ft=yes *]... more>>

The ML is gentleman and considerate; dots upon his partner; respects him & his decisions; supportive. They can be jealous, possessive or a bit rough in bed (consensual, obviously) but they contain all the above mentioned qualities as well.

I found many MLs who maybe doting but are kinda jerk to their partners or too much bully or tease. They are good in their own terms too but I still like the well behaved type. <<less

Cliched, but not toxic pairings. Couples where both parties get the respect and dignity they deserve.... more>>

Dominance and submission will always exist in one form or another in relationships, but there shouldn't be a party who maintains the balance out of insecurity or fear.

Anyway I don't want to write essays. Basically couples who make love beautiful. <<less

Idk what too put for the description LOL

(check out my BG recc list AND my other BL recc lists [GL coming soon !!!] !!!) 

♡ tips for novel enjoyment (esp for newbies to the site ! ) ♡: 

♡ give each novel a fair chance even if the rating is low ! some people just rate 1 star for no reason (especially for BLs and GLs) without even reading it, which is highly unfair ! sometimes, you'll come across GOLD in the lower ratings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

♡ check the OG novel publishing date ! older novels generally tend to have more questionable morals than ones from ~2019+, and they tend to be really cliche BECAUSE they were likely the pioneers of the genre (i.e. QT, apocalypse, etc...) you don't have to read them, but just keep that in mind !

♡ don't like? don't read ! ... But PLEASE read the synopsis and a few reviews to make sure you know what you're getting into both plot-wise and content warning-wise ! I see some people start ranting after going into a silly sweet QT novel expecting 9000+ level IQ protagonists and plots and,, i'm sorry but you're not gonna see that. manage your expectations and i assure you, you'll have a nice time! <<less

Unfortunately most of them are on-going translation.

But

Fortunately MTL ( or google translation of raas; better option) is very easy to understand. <<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

These are my top completed BL novels!!!
