To summarize, I love strong and badass mcs, funny mcs, unique mcs. These stories had me hooked because i could look forward to many events while i was reading (very important!!! if i dont feel like theres much to look forward to, i'll soon b bored), and they kept me entertained for a long time ... more>>

here's a detailed description of my tastes:

-i'm a sucker for strong, cool, badass mcs. I like lots of action, so i try to find novels with mcs that can fight so they can show off :) Just to emphasize, I LOVE IT WEN THE MC CAN SHOW OFF

-for comedy, i've only found a few. The ones that I like have mcs that are quite shameless. Those usually have the "quirky characters" tag

-i do like cunning, smart mcs. However, i have noticed that some popular novels with op mcs (mostly world hopping and transmigration novels) have mcs that are tooo...perfect? arrogant? idk but they give off the "too cool for school" vibe, and they're so c*cky while relying on others so much

-this is pretty obvious but one of the most important things for the story is to keep me anticipating future events in the novel. If it’s feeling dry, I'll drop bc I am pretty impatient. I think most of the stories in this list have strong hooks 

-pet peeve: over dependence of mc on ml :[ You'll c a bit of this in maybe a couple novels in this list, but the overall enjoyment overrided the dissatisfaction so thats y it's on the list

enjoy! hope we hav similar tastes  <<less

These are my favorite BL novels so far, those I enjoyed and recommend the most ranked higher on the list (I consider all MASTERPIECES)... more>>

I enjoy stories: that have a heavy plot, with lots of action, mysteries, near-death experiences (includes violence and gore), recurring genre - FANTASY; with complex, interesting characters, with their own internal & external conflicts, with both flaws and strenghts, not entirely evil nor good; that are intricate, intense, philosophical, psychological, that require you to think and from which you can learn sth new; NOT EXCLUSIVELY FOCUSED ON ROMANCE, but have a little bit of everything: angst, fluff, romance, sexual content, humor, tragedy, death; HAPPY ENDING

The ROMANCE / COUPLE ASPECT: I enjoy ORGANIC, SLOW developing relationships, where the 'love' comes not (only) bc of physical attraction, but because of one's character. I enjoy deep, RESPECTFUL love. I DETEST abusive, imbalanced relationships filled with senseless drama, where the Seme/Gong is abusive, obsessed and too overbearing & the Uke/ Shou is highly dependent of the other, weak, overly femininized, brainless around the Gong. Smut is welcomed. I hate r*pe and repeated non-con sexual content that goes overboard (I accept 1 or a few kisses that are non-con, but nothing more). The characters must exist outside 'the couple', as individuals, to have their own opinions and principals, problems and conflicts and interact with other characters form the story <<less

Well built worlds with good (or at least decent) storylines. These are stories with detailed  worlds. These worlds might be based around a game, the future, or fantasy world but all (to some degree) are set in a complex world. Some series on this list include game elements, politics, slow romance, drama, action, and more.... more>>

These Are Some BG Transmigration/Rebirth Novels I've read or am currently reading

They Are Listed in Order From Currently Reading To Completed. [ With Rating ] <<less

Warning: You will have to be a little open-minded as I included whatever I deemed to be worthy, whether it was BL(boys love), BG(boys and girls), platonic and even some weird tropes explored in interesting ways(I usually put warnings, otherwise it is all good)... more>>

These books are NOT just combination of words and punctuation. These are the stories, that contain the WHOLE galactics. These ARE filled with real human struggles and showcase wonders of humanity, the perseverance, wit, love and kindness. 

Mostly books are with complex, dramatical and psychological plot bases. I usually dislike golden fingers- godly luck or "coincidentally" pleasurable circumstances-, but in case these books do have those, it means I liked the execution.  

All of the books are equally wonderful for me, so order may be meaningless, I only choose the novel for the first place, while all the other books would be equally amazing and worth the same place <<less

I used to read western novels mostly but after the hype of Mo Dao Zu Shi, I got attracted to Chinese BL novels. And recently I have fallen into the BL hole. So, I continuously read Asian BL novels and what I have seen is that many of the BL stories have the following characteristics:... more>>

1. Stories are repetitive in nature with extreme focus on sex. Also, most of them focus mainly on the lead characters. Most of the time, side characters are just there to be the lead characters' lackeys or face-slap recipients.

2. Even the writing style and plot are copy-paste from some older novels of the same genre. 

3. R*pe is highly romanticized especially on Asian BL novels.

4. Toxic relationship is depicted as romantic . 

5. And lets not forget the segregation of 'top' and 'bottom'. 

6. 'Tops' are aloof, cold, otherworldly handsome, possessive and sex-driven.

7. 'Bottoms' are feminine, meek and cute.

Have I forgotten anything else? Feel free to remind me.

There are really only a few stories with proper world building, character development, healthy relationship, intricate and original plot, realistic characters, original writing style, etc.  These are what I personally think are the best Asian BL novels I have ever read: <<less

When you feel down why not enjoy some cute fluff with a funny twist? ... more>>

No matter what kind of relationship, LGBTQ or not, familial affection, everything can be fluffy!

But sometimes I don't want it too sweet, so there's some novels which are sweet, but without much fluff. 

Edit: well, as you can see, I'm also ongoing or new novels. Usually they can be MTL-ed and finished, but some of them are KR or JP sooo no MTL sadly :'( <<less

Females who've transmigrated into cultures that view the way they act as absolutely crazy/scandalous. Or better yet transmigrated women that actually are a little crazy.

Just as the title says except that almost if not all have a romance with a male lead.

I avoid 95% of tragedy drama stories, I love weird, cute, funny, fantasy stories with over 50% having some form of romance, though there's one... more>> or two anti hero stories like "the death mage doesn't want a fourth time" <<less
