so yea this is the 2nd part... and i didnt read anything... <<less

Criteria:... more>>

1) story-focused, grand outer plot

2) world-building, specifically not about romantic growth, but personal and professional growth

BLs focusing on MC-ML's life and adventure, not checking off romantic checkpoints. Story is filled with world building. Low to NO romance in the early chapters, Aro-Ace friendly. Not in any order. 

//friends, rivals become lovers //three-dimensional side characters //plot focused //love grows over time //fake bromance <<less

Not for the Weak. The Male Lead will be Bossy, Hot, and uncontrollable. The Uke must accept all the love given.  XD

Are you a reader who's also obsessed with BL novels that has these tropes?? •MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE, ENEMIES TO LOVERS, STRAIGHT SEME/UKE TURNING GAY, WIFE-CHASING CREMATORIUMS, RIVALS TO LOVERS, SCHOOL LIFE, MPREG, SIBLINGS NOT RELATED BY BLOOD, IDOLS, OMEGAVERSE, GUIDEVERSE, SURVIVAL, TRANSMIGRATION, ZOMBIES, ESPORTS, SMUT, SECOND CHANCE. LOVERS REUNITED.... more>>

I do like to bawl my eyes out on some angst but ABSOLUTELY no-no to tragedy or bad endings, I read novels to escape reality and reading HAPPY ENDINGS is the only right way to do so.

CW: my comments aren't hundred percent accurate but I wasn't the type to point out shitty things frequently. Give me a HE and I'm all good. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌ <<less

Only novels I actually loved and have re-read (or I’m planning to re-read). I also included xianxia here!... more>>

They are all Chinese novels and the romance is BG, there are a lot of rebirth/transmigration novels. No instant love here!

The female leads in all these novels is quite badass but not OP. They are smart and can be more or less scheming but they are all resilient in the face of adversities. 

⭐️ Since the novels here are already a selection of all the ones I’ve read, I’m giving a star to the absolute top 3! <<less

Subjective list of my favorite Chinese historical and/or wuxia novels!... more>>

I tend to like strong but not overpowered FLs, slow romances, angst before HEs, and good plot beyond just the romance. <<less
