I'm pretty selective when it comes to picking novels. I need either a compelling summary or some solid reviews and ratings to catch my interest. But even then, sometimes that's not enough. If a book doesn't hook me within a couple of chapters, it's out. There are too many great ones waiting for my attention.... more>>

Right now, I'm all about modern settings. It's my go-to genre, though I'm open to exploring different genres within that backdrop. Slice of Life is my absolute favorite, so you'll probably see more recommendations in that vein.

For now here's the list of those high rated novels with good reviews that did not disappoint me. <<less

List of novels in my To Read list. I'll also put what made me want to pick the story up. Just be warned that I... more>> will delete the story from the list after I've read so the list will frequently change. I like to view the cover art of the book, and be able to see a lot of novel details on the list in one place instead of having to click to the web novel page. I also include any translation detail like where to find them if they aren't on novelupdates so I can read the whole story without getting stuck halfway because of no translations. Not in any particular order but I try to put similar novels, either in expected tropes or vibes together. Recommendations are very welcome! <<less

Cute, heart warming, pampering

All the novels I've read that takes place in modern times, usually high school. I find high school romance (if there are any) in cn novels more real and earnest because the characters are usually high school age and more innocent. Most of the stories here would be some form of transmigration or rebirth or second chance where the MC would have some form or fore knowledge or experience as an advantage. And they would work hard to not waste the 2nd chance to work hard and improve their future and/or their lover's future usually by studying to get into the top university of the story. <<less

Just a list of the BL novels that I have read. Mostly completed.

Very famous BLs / Danmei

Zero drama✓ Zero tragedy✓ Zero dog blood✓
Feel good BL, mostly danmei, and modern or future settings (I removed the historical ones because they're already in my historical danmei rec list). Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Plot has little angst, since I don't like novels full of misunderstandings and dog blood. There were too many titles to sort by personal preference so they're sorted in alphabetical order. I personally read each and every one; I didn't drop any of them.... more>>

I realized I left out a few good ones in this list so I created a part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87244/ <<less

I have read some of them, but not all . They are slow life no harem, no big dramas,some to none romance. Some are BG,Bl,Gl,... more>> or even no romance; so check the individual tags <<less

Stories that really touched me and have re- reading value

BL (of all genres) that leave you with a paradoxical feeling of completeness and emptiness after finishing. Completeness because the plot, characters, romance, world-building, etc.... more>> are all so well fleshed out. Emptiness because you either want to stay a bit longer with the characters in their world, or rather, you know that the story has reached its satisfying ending, and that this is where the art should end. <3 The BL & danmei world is a treasure trove of all sorts. Let's enjoy~ other recs welcome! <<less

Just chill and relax while reading the stories on this list. No need to use your brain cells and read with peace of mind. So damn tired of dramas on the other novels that it gaves me headache.... more>>

❎ Not focusing on romance <<less

this is not a recommendation list, it's a personal list with certain series that caught my eye enough to make me do it with very biased review.... more>>

I like prominent fantasy with romantic subplot. male protagonist or female protagonist is fine. no harem/r-harem. prefer foreshadowing with interconnected plot, comedic misunderstanding, slice-of-life, fluff, mystery, horror, pure love.

actually, just anything that is good ig. <<less

Wholesome romance.
