My personal compilation of some really heart-warming, lovely BL

Do you ever wake up from an unknown dream, crying into your pillow? No? Do you want to?... more>>

If you find yourself in need of a good cry, or you enjoy the feeling of a lump in your throat, or maybe you’re just a masochist. I don’t know. I don’t judge.

Anyways these are the crême de la crême of novels to make you cry, or just feel plain awful. Some of them have an uplifting tone at the end, but most of them... most of them just leave you despairing and inconsolable. It’s awful, and yet we keep coming back to it, hm?

Enjoy. Or don’t. Whatever you feel like doing, yeah? <<less

This is my personal top picks. If you can get the gist my taste through this list, please feel free to comment down below some of your recommendations too! Thank you and Happy reading!... more>>

What constitutes a good story for me?

PLOT. It must not stray away from its intended plot. No unrelevant arcs just for the sake of DRAGGING the story. THERE MUST BE SUBSTANCE. 

As much as possible, NO RUSH ENDING. The conclusion is the most important. If the story ended with some questions unresolve, the story is a failure. Open endings are acceptable, since it is closest to reality you can get. 

CHARACTER GROWTH. I believe it's one of the essential part of the story. I can stomach s*upid and naive characters, ONLY, if they showed character development along the way. 

LOGIC. No one wants to proceed on reading if they couldn't understand nor make sense out of anything. I'm willing to make an exceptions for WORLD-BUILDING. But there's what you call an out-of-this-world logic and an out-of-this-world s*upidity. The former I can accept, the latter, thanks but no thanks.

ENJOYMENT FACTOR. A STORY MUST EVOKE EMOTIONS OUT OF ME. If I couldn't feel anything while reading, then the writer failed to connect to their readers. Even if the genre isn't my cup of tea, it should be able to convince me otherwise. That's what it means by a good writing.

Thank you. (This list is subject to change) <<less

Ever read a story where the main character died and wondered where to go from here. Well look no further cuz do we have a solution for you. . . Keep the body! ... more>>

Did your favorite person die to get away from you? Don’t want them to Rest In Peace? Does the very thought of not having them around drive you mad? They may not be with you in mind but you sure as hell can keep the body. 

On this lovely list we get to take a dive into true love :/ in order of worst to still pretty bad <<less

If you're looking for something that will make you cry. Here it is. I don't discriminate novels, so there's both bl and straight romance. 

The title says it all. 

Maybe some of these novel are your type.
