List is under construction. New stories will continue to be added.  All will have reviews soon.... more>>

Stories that inevitably make you chuckle and leave you with a happy feeling at the end. The majority are comedies that made me laugh out loud repeatedly. Some are silly. Many have elements of tragedy and stress. Don’t be surprised if some of these tales engage a rollercoaster of feelings beyond a simple chuckle.

Read all tags first to make sure you are into that type of story as this list will involve a mashup of maturity levels, genres and settings. 

If you have a suggestion for a fun comedic story, please leave a comment. I’m always on the lookout for a good laugh.  <<less

Novels that have regretful ML, family’s, etc. I love novels like these since they tug my heart strings.

Good novels that you’ll find on the series ranking and underrated gems.

Only korean novels with male protagonist. ... more>>

Criteria:

The MC has to be the "bottom" (even if it's just a shounen ai, body type doesn't matter) 

The MC is smart, sharp (but not enough to realise the ML's feeling) and mentally strong (traumas are welcomed, weak side is the chef's kiss) 

The MC isn't necessary have to be a good guy. He just can't kill !!!innocent!!! people/animals/other creatures. 

The MC doesn't care about his body condition and is physical weak/got an incurable disease/suicidal thoughts (which commes from his immortality) /got hospitalised regulary. 

The MC is strong enough to fight back (with his brain or/and his "fist"). 

The ML is posessive/obsessive/kinda toxic, but definitly dangerous. Warm hearted are also welcomed,but has to be an "alpha". 

The ML tries to protect the MC, but a lot of time he misunderstands him. And get angry and anxious bc he is worried. 

The ML is also smart and "annoyingly" good-looking. ->self confident

The story must have a goal: character development/ruling the country legaly/saving everybody/curing the sick MC. 

There is min one person (usually the MC) who is reincarnated/ regressed/transmigrated/got a system. 

The place  is medieval/ fantasy/hunter themed/guide themed/omegaverse. 

Spicy scenes are okay, but fan service is a must. (that is why there are shonun ai s in the list, or novels which just give the vibe of BL)  <<less

Girls who are pulled into BL novels and think they can have a fake relationship with no problems but the guy turns out bis**ual, pansexual, demisexual, or their sexuality is never really a matter of discussion because they were written to be loved starved, and just going to grab onto the first person who gave them affection.... more>>

I will admit while I think this situational trope is funny it can feel problematic when you think about it. I know this isn't for everyone and your feelings about that are valid. <<less

This is the list of novels that I've read and I think suit my tastes. ... more>>

You'll probably like it too if you and I have the same taste or something. 

Well some are kinda annoying tho.. 

Notes: no wuxia, xianxia, xuanhuan and other cn stuff, no offense man but cn novel is just not for me. Also there are some yaoi and yuri as well as some erot*c stuff.  <<less

✿ A refined collection of the most illustrious novels to date. Most, if not all, include a series of the precursor elements below:... more>>

- A primarily homos*xual theme. 

- Fully translated, or at least semi-translated. (MTL perhaps)

- Takes place in a xianxia, wuxia, or similar fantasy-esque settings. Historical and militaristic settings are quite abundant as well. Modern--maybe only a select few.

- Good relationships and even better drama. 

- The more dark, problematic themes, the better.

(I also want to make it clear that although I do rank the novels on this list based on how much I liked them, even if I give a book a low rating they still made it to this list so they're still worth reading! i have only come across ONE novel that was so unbearable to read that It couldn't even be listed here lol)

a WIP list. I will succumb to jjxwc sooner rather than later.  <<less

"The repentance of scum*!"" The repair of scum*!"" The redemption of scum*!"... more>>

It is a theme in many novels. In almost every novel, ML starts out as a Scum*! But there are different types of scum* ... some more acceptable (in context), others intolerable and unforgivable!

They are described as handsome, cold, dominating, powerful, intelligent, ambitious, arrogant, proud, heartless ... However, ironically, they can be easily deceived by misunderstandings, evil suspicions and "the pitiful white lotus"...  and end up mistreating, harming, hurting, abusing, poisoning or torturing FL unfairly. ლಠ益ಠ)ლ

Later, when the truth is revealed, they regret everything they have done, discover that they love FL and cannot live without her! They change to be the best male for FL! Humpf! But it is so late ... hahaha a joke! t(=n=)

We like to see them suffering, begging, crawling ... but it is never enough! Or, unfortunately, they don't even suffer from anything, they don't beg for anything but they keep the girl in the end! (ಠ ∩ಠ)
>>Ok! Not everything is so bad! There are some novels that are good readings when they have a good plot and a strong and capable FL!  <<less

Also recommend me some similar stories :) <<less

Either I've watched them as dramas or read them fully as novels, crying at least once.... more>>

Sometimes I get too enthralled in the stories and cry for no reason, so I'm sorry if some of these don't match the list title for you.

If I google translated it and you can't find it, try searching for the title in the original language, not the English title.

Any suggestions? Feel free to comment as I do like to cry. <<less

shedding tears, ugly crying, not being able to get out of bed for a whole week bc of the depression, u name it, you'll be able to find it here :') (and with spicy reviews too !!!!)... more>>

!!!! warning: minor spoilers in descriptions ty :) <<less

Compilation of BL novels that I have read that contain angst, but they range from just making your heart twinge from the pain to making your heart bleed, heal it, then proceed to cut it open again, and heal it again. I'll arrange it from easy to nightmare mode according to MY perspective. My heart is quite puny, so what makes my heart twinge may not inflict anything to you. This is based on MY perspective. 
Mostly HE, but some are BE. I'll write a note on BE so that you don't fall into the trap of never ending heartache and suffering.... more>>

WARNING: Some will contain 'Rape', 'r*pe victim becomes lover', and 'su*cide' tags, so please read the tags and proceed at your own discretion. <<less

-pain

-BE or HE is fine but there must be obstacles in the middle...., angsty

-crematorium

-ML doesn't care about the MC from the start (or ML does care but doesn't know how to express it) but once MC is gone from their grasp (death/ coma/ near-death experience/ breakup?) they finally realize what they let slip from their fingertips. 

-or after all the disappointment and hurt, MC doesn't care anymore and it's the emotionally constipated ML's turn to chase.

*recommendations are appreciated (very) <<less
