Novels that left an impression on me or novels I really loved that haven't quite hit the "top favorites" list.... more>>

For novels that are ongoing, the most common reason for being in this list instead of my tops list is because I have not read enough chapters.

For novels that are completed, these are just stories that I remember enjoying and stand out in my memory.

To see my top personal favorites, check out this list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/24/ <<less

Only actually good stories that I have personally read.

Mc and fl basically supporting each other. No throwing tantrum or meaningless drama. Unconditionally trust each other.

The bl novels that have good stories *only from the novels I read before*

From my limited experience and knowledge, some of the best or most unique plots, storylines and/or writing in BL.... more>>

Or, I just really really like them, and hope you will find them just as enjoyable as I did.

 In no particular order, but my favourites and biggest recs are definitely near the top. <<less

As the title goes, I love BL novels with possessive and obsessive ML. However, the bottom line is, they do NOT venture into destructive nature. ... more>>

List majorly consists mutual relationships .

*** Will add comments if ML's are anywhere near abusive*** <<less

BL novels I've read or am reading that I've thoroughly enjoyed.... more>>

I'll admit some are flawed (hence guilty pleasure) but they're mostly great reads with some of my favourite tropes. <<less

No push-over MCs here. These men have a mind of their own! Filled with hijinks and shenanigans with just the right dose of fluff to keep fujoshi hearts fluttering. ... more>>

Note: prepare those tissues for some dramatic stories that crawled their way in

I am a huge fan of yaoi novels. These are my favourite ones so far. Don't worry there is no dog blood nor forced romance. 

Romance Novels worth reading even with MTL.  (Not sorted.)
 (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

Favorite romance novels that make me sad to part with. Most of them are completed and in a historical setting.
While I like indifferent or cruel MCs, I’m not really a fan of overly ruthless ones that resort to killing just because of a slight verbal insult.... more>>

I think cannon fodder also have to be smart and strong enough to make the MC more likable to be honest. My biggest pet peeve is when the villains have -2 IQ. It just makes the face-slapping annoying not satisfying.

Anyways, I’m tr*sh for romance with comedy to angst so (๑･̑◡･̑๑) <<less

Mixed recommendations to read. BG, BL, no yuri. A must read of various genres.

For all rotten girls and boys looking for something to read. The rank is just the order in which they are sorted, not actual ranking.... more>> A mix of completed and on going translation. <<less

The best bl chinese novel I have ever read, and I make these lists just because I want to tell you how good these precious... more>> gems are. <<less

Happy Ending novels

I am a sucker for (1) traditional, ancient setting w/ fantasy elements, xianxia (not really wuxia), tragedy, face-slapping, revenge, rebirth troupes. (2) fluffy, comedy that makes me rolling on the ground laughing... more>>

But I edit this list every time I finish reading a novel, so most of the time, the newer ones will be higher up. So the ranking is pretty biased. 
Just saying that I'm very picky and values rating (4.5 or above is usually my cut off, although there are some exceptions. OR sometimes the novel rating decreased over time)

Just keep in mind that I'm a person who if a story can make me cry my eyes out, that story will inevitably rank higher than those that are just as good, but do not have a tragic element to it. Generally, tragic stories leave more of an impression on me <<less

My favourite QT BL novels!

Novels that I'm definitely glad I found. No strict order, very loosely listed. ... more>>

Feel free to leave your thoughts and reccs in the comments! 

Check out my NSFW/SFW List for stories that can give any hint of cars

(Tip: Look at some other works by the authors of the listed novels. Often I've read their other works and they have other masterpieces that I just didn't add to this specific list) <<less

ALL THE BOOKS IVE EVER READ and remembered to add to this list will be here... more>>

 [provided my inner grammar nazi approves, I hate translations with sh*t english]

Plot line quality will at least be a 3.5 ⭐️ imo <<less

Some of these have nice, good plot but some may not have that deep of a plot ^-^. Still enjoyable all the same. The important thing is enjoyment! Listed in no particular order~... more>>

((Romance; No BL)) <<less

I don't like abusive, dog-blood drama, and weak characterization. I don't like Imbalanced Couple where the Seme/Gong is too Overbearing. I don't like weak, femininized, Uninteresting/Lackluster Uke, or bratty/silly Shou whose IQ drop drastically when encountering the Gong.  ... more>>

So these are a few novels with good plots, and mainly consist of interesting MC and good ML I strongly recommend. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NOVELS IN THIS LIST IS RANDOMLY LISTED WITHOUT FIXED RANKING, and also these are only novels that I HAVE READ. 
This list will randomly be updated if I find another worth noting novel. <<less

I read hundreds BL novel on novelupdates and now dare to make this list. The greatest, most wonderful BL novel to read :))

No description.

My favourite BL stories are typically the ones with great characters, but even better couple dynamics. NOT ranked but  arranged by the similarity of each... more>> couple dynamic –so if you love a particular couple, check out the one above/below. The ones at the very bottom are typically unsorted or they have a truly unique concept. <<less

NO YANDERES and no s*upid MCs. Complete only.... more>>

Het / GL / BL (in that order, mostly alphabetical). 

Also these are only stories I like, so they (usually) don't drag on too long. I HATE r*pe AND YANDERES UG so here's some fluffy goodness for the soul. 

In terms of the romance tho, this list varies widely. 

If recs or suggestions or comments on the books plz comment thx :) <<less
