I dislike hot blooded, overly emotional and dumb MCs, so this list won't contain any such novels. 

On the other hand i like scheming MCs, so expect such novels.

P. S- This is another list from my previous account (which i lost)

Focused on western style politics.

Caution: Lots of dark themes so please be careful!!! Extremely mild spoilers as well!!!!!!!
Ranking is decided by how much I cried, not by how good it was because it'll be very hard to decide XD... more>>

The human emotions are depicted so well. They talk a little about the human mind and feelings. Brought me to tears, but they’re so beautiful. Some are lighter, some a little more heavy. The journey to a beautiful romance isn’t easy. Life is complex, and it is bitter and sweet. By the way... the ranking doesn’t really matter. 

I wanted to rank this according to how much I cried, but sorry it doesn't seem to be working XD No worries, it isn't like some sort of dog blood drama. It's just...tragic but with a happy end. It has a lot of sweet, fluffy and funny moments too!!!! in fact, only certain part hurts. Some doesn't hurt as well! In fact,  it was so beautiful and sweet I cried  <<less

All the novels I've enjoyed reading. Both het and BL, or no romance at all, mostly including books with interesting plot and characters. Most likely,... more>> there will be no noncon, r*pe, or similar questionable stuff.    <<less

Please feel free to bookmark and review the novels

MXTX (#1-3), Meatbun(#4-5), and Priest (#6-24) novels!! If you haven't heard of them in the BL community, then welcome you must be new here ! These 3 authors have had at least one of their novels adapted into a drama or donghua recently (or at least it's in the works *cough* HYX *cough*) you can pretty much consider them classics on danmei twt sooo here's the big 3 in BL collection!!! also,,, BUY THE OFFICIAL MXTX ENGLISH BOOKS PREORDERS OUT NOW !!! ... more>>

I'll be ranking them within their sections except for the top 3 once ive finished all of the list ((also also, Priest has BG novels as well, but i didn't include them bc this is a BL list)) 

Some notes on author styles before reading:
MXTX: very complex world building, flashbacks galore, some explicit scenes so pls pls either skip or be 18+, YEARNING

Meatbun: you literally have to be 18+, READ THE WARNINGS if you can't stand them just wait for the HYX drama to come out with a heavily censored version, knives knives knives, tissues are a must, pls i beg of you read the warnings

Priest: has lots of the politics side, not too much romance overall (but more than ppl say), very plot heavy, knives but TYPICALLY happy ending especially in the extras!! <<less

Novels I recommend either because I translated them (ahem shameless self promo) or because they are genuinely enjoyable

A list of books whose descriptions or reviews interested me. I will read eventually. These are mostly historical/wuxia settings.... more>>

I’ve moved the pure fantasy/xianxia type settings to another To Be Read list. This was getting full.
