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

Female Protagonist, Good Plot

These ancient Chinese historical stories not only have a satisfying romance (thus far), but they also include plots of politics and other deep topics (such as social commentary). Most* of these also have good/excellent translations and writing! Notes are included to highlight what I like (and don't exactly like) about each title. All of these have female protagonists. Most stories are either completely translated or have regular updates. List is more or less in order of what I like the most and find most fun to read, all the way down to ones that don't entice strong reactions for me but I like them enough to list them.... more>>

*There is at least one title on this list that I have dropped. I have noted it, but still left it as is I liked the first part of the novel well-enough to warrant a place on this list. There are at least two MTL'ed stories on this list as well. <<less

No description.

I find television to be very educational. Every time someone turns it on, I go into the other room and read a book.

These are BG and DANMEI novels in which the protagonists experience or take advantage of the Chinese Economic Reform (or an equal era in parallel... more>> world) to gain prosperity. Please advise if there are any misses.  <<less

A list of my Favorit Isekai novels.

This list is for any degenerates out there who are sick and tired of dense, useless, virg*n MCs and want to read about a protagonist who doesn't have a potato for a brain. +Harems... more>>

These are by no means shining examples of great literature, but you f*cks know what you want and what you're here for. Go nuts.

In no particular order.

I'll make a similar list with BxG romance, no harems <<less

a compilation of all the BG novels 4.1 stars and below that i've read at least 75% through + on going ones ! and remember !! just because a novel is rated less than 4.3 doesn't mean it's bad !! ... more>>

hopefully you try and like some of these ones ! honestly, i like a very very mixed bag of tropes, so i rlly hope you find a solid novel to read from here ! i usually cap my novel searches at 4.3stars+, but i've definitely wandered around A LOT, sooo I also have other BG lists AND lists for BLs (that i'm currently re-sorting hehe !!) <<less

Basically my list of all the new stars of the genre! Happy reading :D ... more>>

Rating:  ❤️❤️❤️ To-die-for      ❤️❤️ Greatly entertaining                       ❤️ Enjoyable 
The novels are not all historical though.

For more, my all times "Best historical novels" list is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/19039/ <<less

Just read it don’t hesitate( actually hesitate on some of them.)
Also, not in any particular order and take these with a grain of salt cuz it’s made by a 15 year old.... more>>

FYI some might not be fully focused on romance, but I still add it because if you're like me, even if its plot is like the plot return of mount hua sect, if it has even a tiny hint of romance in the first 50 or so chaps, I'll dig that sh*t out.

For all the short stories or oneshots just read, they’re short anyway, or read some review on it first.

These novels aren’t on NU, but they are still good 

Author’s POV (still good but got a bit wack at some parts, but it’s 800 chaps so that’s normal.)

Shadow s*ave (got kind of boring after first arc for me.)
I started to gain sentience in an eroge (it’s quite good and it’s a “bit” crazy, just a bit)

FYI my review’s ratings for NU are always low standards, so if I gave it like a 4, it’ll probably mean that it’s cliche but pretty enjoyable. And a 3 is like, it’s aight but I didn’t enjoy it that much and got bored easily at some parts. And 2 is don’t even, also I change my ratings and opinions quite often once I look back on it because when I am reading it I read for pure enjoyment and not with a critical view. Like if there’s a plot hole, I just skimp over it, it’s only when I look back on it then I see the flaws. <<less

Like my other list called "Korean Historical (Adapted to Manhwa)", this on the other hand are, well, Chinese historical novels. These are the ones that interested enough to keep me reading. Well, most of it is because of its manhua. ... more>>

Some of which i am currently reading, some i have finished reading, and some are in my waiting list. (I have read  mostly all their manhuas.)

These have, of course, been adapted to manhuas with english translation (Currently being updated)

All of them have a romance genre.  <<less

My good luck makes me the best marriage partner! So I will just pick up this poor, abandoned husband and raise it, okay?

Combination of arranged marriage/marriage of convenience/flash marriage that I have read. ... more>>

Marriage first then love later is also one of my favorite tropes. The journey of how they blur the line between stranger and lovers 'lis quite funny and sweet.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste and do tell if you have recommendations.

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem.

Recommended novels not linked to NU. Most are less than 100 chapters including extras.. (titles and synopsis in the comment section, mtl'ed but decipherable) <<less
