Danmei/BL  - i come here after donghua and manhua

No description.

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

love them but they are what I tell my therapist... 

These novels are a bit deranged, but in a very realistic sense. The main CP has either believable coping mechanisms, or mental illnesses based on... more>> their past. There isn't an ML or MC who was abused that got revenge "all according to plan" with no mental issues (basically the MC or ML pays a price from the beginning and only gets their just rewards after fighting tooth and nail for it). There is fluff but its an angsty fluff and a oof-ouch-pain feeling when they need to support each other. <<less

Sad BL novels.... more>>

The kind that make you feel sad just from reading the synopsis.

Slowly building the courage to read them one day.  <<less

Depression, social anxiety disorder, etc. Not really psychological novels but the characters still hold on no matter the traumatic or problems they did face for long time. Of course, as fictions, they will have support or even unconditional supports from other characters. ... more>>

Story not necessarily full of angst or dog blood dramas.I found them (the novels) beautifully written and the translated, both authors and translators did great jobs.

I create the listto make me easier in finding them later … for re-reading, because I’m a sucker for this kind of touching tales.

Edit. Notes: mostly BL <<less

Cliched, but not toxic pairings. Couples where both parties get the respect and dignity they deserve.... more>>

Dominance and submission will always exist in one form or another in relationships, but there shouldn't be a party who maintains the balance out of insecurity or fear.

Anyway I don't want to write essays. Basically couples who make love beautiful. <<less
