our mc chasing the ML! GO gurl. chase  what u want.

All the cute, adorable and sweet romance novels I have ever read which I was really satisfied about. So satisfied, some I read through machine... more>> translations for it. Get tooth aching sweet moments, deep love, healing, funny and affectionate couples. And watch over their journey of getting that sweet and happy ending together:) <<less

This list includes possessive lovers that weren’t able to together with mc at first, including mls/fls that had unrequited love toward the mc, were neglected... more>> by mc, or misunderstood by mc and thought to be scary and dangerous. This list involves partners who aren’t each others firsts. It involves mls or fls with unconditional or hidden love that get their chance eventually, after the mc gains some clarity.  <<less

Instead of OP CEO or arrogant and domineering ML, these precious MLs need coaxing and feel inferior to the MC (or vice versa in some cases). EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE SO PRECIOUS AND DESERVE THE WORLD!! Most of them are insecure and afraid their partner will leave or no longer like them due to their flaws/illness/background/past/etc. There is a lot of pampering, coaxing, understanding, and healing in these beautiful stories. I've tried to put similar setting/vibe stories together so the list is easier to navigate. BG in the first half and BL in the second half :)... more>>

Recently I've seen more recommendation lists on this trope and I'm SOOO HAPPY that these beautiful stories are finally getting some appreciation!! I'll do my best to also find some less popular gems for you all to read >.< Please also comment any stories you would like me to add!

*also, I know I sorta write more for some novels, less for others. It honestly depends on my mood & memory of the novel. So don't feel discouraged about the ones I write less on, they're all well written books :) I also try to only include novels that are 4 stars and above, unless I REALLY think that the story deserves wayyyy more. <<less

fake, arranged, flash, forced, contract marriage. Marriage of Convenience, cohabitation novels  I'm interested in or liked... more>>

Separated BL and BG category since I've hit the 100 limit.

No description.

I mean, can you blame me? Who wants to die without reading these novels?... more>>

Ps: There's not even a single novel with the 'dude transmigrating into a female character' trope here. Because if I wanted a BG novel, I'd read a BG novel.  <<less

Stories with (usually) older MLs who is raising or somehow involved in raising the (physically and/or mentally) younger shou... more>>

Note that "raising" here may also mean pampering our xiao shou to high heavens <<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

Just simple and sweet Cinderella type romances with a lucious, overbearing, handsome etc etc CEO ML. Who dotes on his wife/ gf. Or sometimes not... more>> dote so much due to misunderstandings. Point is, he's a CEO / President / Top of the food chain. And the novel is sweet and simple, not 1000 chapters of ramblings, bizarre events, or misunderstandings. <<less

Honestly mainly OP face slapping BL & a few GOATED Female Lead novels

(some stories are r-18 tho (๑ ऀืົཽ₍₍ළ₎₎ ऀืົཽ)✧) <<less

Apparently, I have a thing for characters who are shameless and good at getting what they want. Especially gong who are pe*verted and enjoy teasing shou LOL. Got to admit, they make things hella entertaining ლ(⌒▽⌒ლ).... more>>

Rating is for novels I finished reading. Recommendations are appreciated! <<less

Just BL without the stereotypical overbearing, abusive, rapist ML. Naturally they also have to be good reads (though this is subjective) to make this list. ... more>>

If you feel like something should or shouldn't be included in this list, let me know and I'll review the story in question. The books are in no particular order. <<less

second chances (rebirth or transmigrated FLs) for Mls to be given all the love they deserve. Beautiful and kind FL's pampering their insecure and misunderstood ML's. Stories of love, growth, and happy endings that will warm your heart. ... more>>

Honestly, this is just a list of novels I wish I could jump into so I can protect and love these precious couples

I am begging you to comment and recommend any more novels like the ones in this list this is honestly my favorite type of novel, I'll love you forever <3

Mostly set in ancient China so expect politics, harem, face slapping, honorifics, you know the drill. Added some with a modern set up only if I can’t find anything that interests me as of the moment.... more>>

If completed via MTL, will rate MTL quality from 1-5. <<less

I would love to share all the fluffy bl that I've read and worth reading. I will separate horror and apocalypse and other fluffy bl... more>> because they deserve to be. They have their own highlighted genre even though they are fluffy <<less

Most of the list got Yandere MLs who were only sweet to FLs but cold to other characters. Being crazy in-love, possessive, jealous, obssess and having co-dependency issues with their FLs... (I will also mentioned some toxic and few high-level ones with issues.) ... more>>

I also included rates of ML's yandereness (not the plot, only the level of their craziness about their FL) <<less

Cleanse yourself of overbearing CEOs, obsessive yanderes, cold and low EQ snobs, insidious black bellies, mu*derous tyrants, and needy man children, and embrace the beauty... more>> that is the firm but fair, sweet, kind, healing and gentle male leads. On this list we stan men whom are not just excellent boyfriends but excellent men in general. I tried to only include MLs that were sweet and considerate to the FLs all the way through (no midway personality changes, no tsundere tendencies, etc.).  <<less

Because we simp over ML's tragic backstories again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
