This is a sublist of my previous list "Novels I am willing to re-read", and compromises of only the BL novels to make it easier... more>> for the BL lovers. As you might realize from the Novels in my list I dislike weak MC who only lean on the ML, although I let it slide in some novels when the story has enough substance. <<less

Novels that I personally think are 10/10. No particular genres, all I care about is how good the story, characters, world building, and translation is.

Action, fantasy, isekai, adventure novels,...... no harem/romance ... more>>

Because i cant search for some novels so i decided to put it here:

+ The Live (has the same author as The Hero Returns): Very recommended!! <<less

No description.

Men who are clever and capable and cunning without being absolute wretches of humanity.... more>>

Added to as I read, you'll find all kinds of genres here. Feel free to comment some recs.  <<less

Started reading novels since 2016 and this list reflects all things I've read.

Ever got tired of the same old sh!t of questionably problematic relationships? Or of some stup!d characters and world building? ... more>>

If so, here lies a humble list of my favorites, in which the MC's are likable and the ML's aren't ªssholes in plot disguise... 

(Will include themes like reincarnation, transmigration, Isekai, time travel, revenge/strategic plots, xianxia, fantasy/medieval/sci-fi/game worlds, romance, friendship, badªssery, humor, drama, action, adventure and, more)

 There're recommendations in the comments too! Make sure you guys look there too since I haven't found some awesome works as novels here. <<less

These are just my personal favourite, may have forgotten some so please put below any other recommendations. Most of the books here are either completed and fully translated or have a substantial amount of chapters built up already so u can binge. This list will probably be updated occasionally and is kinda..? in order from best to worst.... more>>

So here we go...  <<less

Novels about MC's who only care about themselves. To them, everyone else is a side character who they don't care if they live or die. ... more>>

*Note: Some novels on this list will have the MC care about literally one person, if they care about more than one it's not going to be added* <<less

This list includes the few gems in the heap of ashes and dirt.

Content the following:... more>>

Not your typical dense MC (most of them are level-headed and has actual agency), yandere and messed up but intriguing dynamics (some of them), an actual mature way to portray a relationship, the girls take the lead or initiative, balanced relationships (most of them), Love interests that aren't your typical 'frustating and pushy alpha CEO", spicy moments, fluffs.

The preview I write about the stories will primarily focus on the MC & ML relationship. <<less

This list contains recommended books to read when you are into fluffy, heart-warming, lots of “UwU(s)”, and sickeningly sweet—- to the point where not only your teeth will hurt, but also your heart —- stories. Help! Too freakin’ cute!!! The characters in these novels are just too damn precious!... more>>

❗️BOTH (BxG & BxB) L-O-V-E are INCLUDED❗️

(That’s because yours truly is a sucker for “Yaoi” and plain romance in general) <<less

They won't all have something in common with each other, they're not all badass, but they are all likeable and lovely people in some way... more>> that I get why the ML fell in love with them, because I'd definitely fall for them too. Priority goes to bold MCs that chase first because usually those are the ones that exhibit such lovable traits. But they won't make up the entire list.  <<less

Bl novels of reincarnation/transmigration au with very intelligent mcs *whistles* taking down notes while reading, doesn't hurt to prepare lmao. (p.s. I felt it would... more>> be redundant to add in this list but most of the stories in my "BL Stars in the Night Sky" are also rebirth stories so feel free to check it out~~) <<less

I have collected the few stories with reasonable & moral characters and character development. In most of these stories, the powers  MCs have are earned... more>> not given. I have avoided harem tags like the plague, due to many cardboard cutout supporting characters. However, the few stories with harem tags listed actually have characters with at least 2D/3D personalities. almost all of these have a rating of 4+ as the quality(rating) is more important than the quantity(popularity). Incomplete stories can be pirated using nyaa.si, vn miedo, ect. <<less

cliché & mature novels that I like to read on my free time (:

these are the best k-novels that i've read during a year. great world-building, character development , fun story; i can ensure that at least every... more>> story in this list has one of those 3 elements. happy reading guys <3 <<less

My absolute fave - entertainment industry au *sparkling eyes* 'Cause no one is more brighter than those who struggle for the brightest stage.... more>>

(P.s. if you want more/similar entertainment ind. au you can also check out my "BL Gamers" and "BL Interstellar Famous" lists, xo~)  <<less

Modern setting BL with minimal/no angst and plenty of dog food... more>>

All the ML is likable; mature, gentle and very doting towards MC <<less

im sick of ml falls in love first, why can't the shou fall in love first??? Basically the mc has some sort of feelings towards... more>> ml and reciprocates to a certain degree, eg they don’t get stuck in denial or run away from ml.  <<less

Novels that caught my interest—pure guilt-pleasure reads... more>>

Orders are irrelevant
