Thank you again to all who contributed to the success of my previous recommendations. They are a testament to the depth and beauty of the CN novels I hold dear.

Some novels may provoke deep thought, while others serve as delightful escapes, perfect for simply switching off your mind and immersing yourself in enjoyment~... more>>

THIS LIST WILL SLOWLY INCREASE WITH TIME; there are hundreds of good books that I've read and forgot to save them, now I'm going on a journey of finding them just to share it with you.... more>>

no harem, a finished man, calm and composed protag, female protagonist having the man wrapped round their fingers, beautiful people, vague and enticing lust-love, enemies to lovers, slow burn romance that'd have you wanting it to go faster, quick transmigration with no cliche dramatic plot and overused troupe, unique plots.✨

this list contains my emotions, thoughts, desires and the urge to read over and over again.  <<less

These novels that is tolerable with male protagonist in it. A good world-building without harem; it abides reasons with deep world setting.

Just a jumble of my favourite BLs so far.

Ps.  I’d don’t mind boasting I’ve read a lot of books at my age (gen x) so I don’t read these books to compare to Hemingway .  If it’s in this list, it passed a pretty high bar “sniff” test.   If a book comes along that can make Oscar Wilde cream and Capote scream,  it’ll have a review.  <<less

Don't ruin your day. It's not your obligation, but the roller coaster story :)

Nicely written novels (in my opinion compare to the usual quality of mtled webnovels). These stories are the ones who caught my attention from the first chapter and got me reading til dawn. Definitely not for everyone. My love for a book depends on the writing style of the author and the translation so don't expect stories with flashy plot. ... more>>

Obsessed with rofan, and sometines tr*shy mls too. Expect a lot of isekai and age regression. They're all tolerable plotwise imo. I'm a josei fan so most, if not all, have mature themes. Some have smuts. Also a sucker for arrange marriage trope which is why marriage is a common factor among the novels. I'll continue to add more as long as rofan exists  <<less

My personal favorite smut with a good plot

BL KR novels Page Turners (once you start you cant stop reading) —[in no particular orders 

I really like when the protagonist has high EQ and IQ. Most of these protagonists are mature, cold, pragmatic and smart.
