(Added a couple of modern day/fluffier wholesome pieces too) <<less

If it's a completed novel, I appreciate the novel enough to recommend it or remind myself I've read it.  If it's incomplete, it probably has... more>> enough going for it to pique my interest.  Includes BL and Josei because I like both! <<less

Here's a list of my favorite BL novels that i have read and are completed. Enjoy!

All the great BL stories I find. ♥️ Please feel free to add suggestions as I’m always looking for new stories to read! ... more>>

Note: If a story contains spicy scenes, I will make an FYI. (Please also pay attention to the Yaoi/Shounen Ai Genres as I’ve not read all the stories below yet.)

Stories may contain one or more of the tags - ⇊⇊ <<less

A list of best xianxia, wuxia, xuanhuan and historical novels in my opinion. ... more>>

Power couples, angst, lots of pining and slow-burn. <<less

Just a collection of BL's where the romances are of a slower and quieter variety. Winds and rain may buffet them on all sides, but... more>> it's always easy between the two leads. Emotional beats are much tamer than other similar novels. Developing the relationship is important, but comes after the plot. <<less

Please consider donating some BL recommendations down in the comments, and I will add them to this to-read-list! I am seriously in need of food... more>> for my soul... thank you! Keep the yandere to a minimum <<less

Novels that I have been following for quite some time. The crème de la crème of BL. I sifted through numerous novels to find these... more>> diamonds in the- okay enough analogies... <<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

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 description.

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

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

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

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

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

My favourite QT BL 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

Happy Ending novels

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

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

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

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

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

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.
