Sequence is CN- JP- KR- Fluffy- (Comedy)- Exceptions- To-reads. Not ranked by number. 
My descriptions varies greatly from a gist, polished review, impressions, or explains key points.        ... more>>

[Flexible Preferences] 
A. Protags are somehow mostly male but I read both!- interesting, has compelling qualities, flawed with development
B. Entertaining, Distinct, & Creative
C. Steady premise, no TERRIBLE plot hole 
D. Romance: good execution, pacing, build-up, & evokes emotion; no bullsh!t drama & brain-dead denseness
E. Vital, relevant, fleshed-out characters
F. Comedic & Fun
G. Danger, Wars, Battles, Strategy, Tactics, Trials, Fights, Thriller, Suspense
H. Lore, Culture, Kingdom, Worldbuilding 
I. Political Intrigue, Schemes, Mind Games, Manipulation, Mystery
J.  Pure tragedies rarely - it hurts!
K. No BL/GL(yet?)
L. Can be R-18 
M. Polygamous-like IF great story | even if you're averse consider my recs. ;)

[Criteria]
1. These are (mostly) 4/5 stars in story, translation and enjoyment according to my flawed evaluation that is mainly 3/10 objective, 7/10 subjective.
2. I have perused the novels or adaptation before sharing my thoughts.
3. Writing must be consistent, coherent and engaging and the ending must at least not be sh!t. Clichés to a point are fine however it needs to be purposeful & executed well. 
4. I will keep adding books that are promising, satisfying, translated.  <<less

Good novels, well written, entertaining, and interesting. These novels are quite unforgettable after reading, the characters and story will surely stick around for a long... more>> time. <<less

(Mostly) no harem no BL, male lead on fantasy novel setting with his over protective companions.... more>>

***
Some is tagged Yaoi/Shonen Ai. BUT their relationship is mainly bromance, dense MC, super slow romance and barely had any explicit contents. Save read for those who doesn't like BL, like me.

Note: Some with yaoi tag  still ongoing, I'll update if it's bearable to read or not. <<less

Genre is mixed, anything that makes me spend days reading it! Any novels that makes me feels intense emotions! The order doesn't matter~... more>>

All kind of pairing might come up(or even no pairing)! For example, while it's not pure BL, the sense of bromance is high so its possible if you want to ship it. Even if BL show up there won't be R-18 stuff in here, I'm more fond of fluff and slow burn than smut. Also healthy relationship only!! 

I also love wholesome relationship development so family / friendship genre will definitely show up! The trope that will show up frequently is Found Family, Misunderstanding(not between the couple but to others lol), Fluff, Slow Burn, Angst, BAMF, etc.  <<less

- No harem ... more>>

- MC is not an idiot

- Big plus for bromance (or just wholesome friendship in general that makes sense)  <<less

ahaha basically just some of my favourite novels that I enjoy a lot.... more>>

*Ranked randomly* <<less

Let's continue the treasure hunt for novel not ordinary ones but the fantasy ones! 

Been a BL fan most of my life....love likeable MCs and hate plots that are too hard to understand. This used to be a list of BL i recommend and i was gonna make a separate list for uncompleted and/or ones that I finished but aren't exactly my fave but im too lazy for that. ... more>>

P.S. it takes a lot of brain power for me to read danmei novels so I only read the ones I really like. 
All of these are my own opinion <<less

Brief description of my recommended list will be that it's mostly randomized in genre and not in ranking. I prefer to read action, adventure and camaraderie. I read BL but you'll also be able to see het pairs. I will diligently try to make small comments on the novels that I will put in here as well as my status and how many times i drop and reread the series until completion or latest update.... more>>

Also, the ADHD mention is Undiagnosed but possible cause my attention span is really bad...

Some terminologies I might use while making small comments (will be updated if needed to be):

-FuwaFuwa = stories that have elements, characters, or pairing that are lighthearted or I cheer for them while I read them.

- LR = "Last Read" chapter. |  #oHT = "# of head turn or how many times I actually dropped this to read another story"  |  TiTtR = "Time it Took to Read" |  #oRR = "# of ReReads" 

This list won't be for you if you're looking for wuxia and xianxia. Mostly cause my head can't grasp the terminologies rather than disliking the plot. There would be stories that brush upon them but none that focuses on them so far. <<less

Stories containing comradeship between men! Not BL explicitly but some can become one if you squint hard enough. 

This list is mostly consists of romance novels I've finished and really liked. Most of them are all sweet-fluffy types with some realistic and friendship... more>> building novels. The order is mostly random except for the top 5 which are made of my favorites. <<less

A list of Slice of Life, School life, Coming of Age BL Novel

It's a list of all my favourite Korean novels with male protagonist that I'm recommending you for reading . So I hope you like it!!! 

Solid/Comedic/Fanciful plot, likeable characters, substantial character development, good translations, and some misc factors,—making these stories extremely immersing and immensely enjoyable. Slowly updated, consider reading with me!

I used to read western novels mostly but after the hype of Mo Dao Zu Shi, I got attracted to Chinese BL novels. And recently I have fallen into the BL hole. So, I continuously read Asian BL novels and what I have seen is that many of the BL stories have the following characteristics:... more>>

1. Stories are repetitive in nature with one main character completely obsessed with the other main character. Also, most of them focus mainly on the lead characters. Most of the time, side characters are just there to be the lead characters' lackeys or face-slap recipients.

2. Even the writing style and plot are copy-paste from some older novels of the same genre. 

3. R*pe is highly romanticized especially on Asian BL novels.

4. Toxic relationship is depicted as romantic . 

5. And lets not forget the segregation of 'top' and 'bottom'. 

6. 'Tops' are aloof, cold, otherworldly handsome, possessive and sex-driven.

7. 'Bottoms' are feminine, meek and cute.

Have I forgotten anything else? Feel free to remind me.

There are really only a few stories with proper world building, character development, healthy relationship, intricate and original plot, realistic characters, original writing style, etc.  These are what I personally think are the best Asian BL novels I have ever read: <<less

i'm very picky with what i read, and throughout my danmei binge, these novels are the ones that stood out to me the most (while... more>> also being criminally underrated). on the technical level, all the novels here are guaranteed high quality translations—great grammar, natural flow, poetic language. hopefully you find a couple hidden gems from this list! <<less

A list of my favorite e-sports BL/Danmei/Yaoi or whatever you call it novels. I'll give an opinion of how e-sportsy each one is.... more>>

Every story in this list has a Happy Ending cause I can't stand it otherwise. <<less

Stories that I genuinely liked with interesting characters. These characters have ambition, smarts, or interesting perspectives. I think that every good story must have a good main character, or everything will collapse, so I've only added my absolute favorites.... more>>

The stories are in order, but they are all enjoyable. Some have romance (BL or GB) and others don't.  Some have period typical attitudes (ie, the value of women in a harem setting is not...spectacular). The majority are CN, but a few are also KN. There's...there's a lot of transmigration, admittedly. I have no defence there.

Please enjoy and let me know if my opinions are accurate! <<less

Listing up books recommended by others or the AI that might fit my preference (sorted according to how tempted I am) ... more>>

Decision is based on:

- Rating

- Does it have both mystery/action (and thus thrilling) 

- Does MC fit my preferences (grey but not evil) 

- Does it have friendship in it? 

- Please no harem. Preferably no romance too

What should I read... <<less

I just like it ahahaha. Can't guarantee the quality for everyone but personally I loved these novels so for me their quality is top notch~

I don't read much harem though I will insert some of it in here. I will only add novels that I truly truly like and... more>> the ones that makes me insomniac because I keep thinking about them. You know, novels that always lingers in your head and makes you laugh creepily all by yourself. Please note that this is just a list based on my preferences. And don't evaluate them by their numbers.  <<less
