I suggest reading part one since that has a lot of my all time top likes while these are most recent discoveries. https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/10969/  <<less

Original YAOI is genuinely PWP. Eventually, plot-filled yet spicy stories (without being blatant p*rn) started cropping up. Unfortunately one list is not enough so I've decided to divide them. I swear! This is the last list I'll create. **BASICALLY PLOT-CENTERED W/ "CARS"** I'll mostly include those that have great stories.... more>>

Keywords: UNCENSORED, NO BLACKOUTS. SMUTTY. This list is the milder version of my original smut list. So yeah, most will generally be "Safe for work" except for a few scenes. "Generally". LOL. Novels that are at least 80 to 98% plot. Some only have one or two s*x session but still it's all detailed. And the s*xual tension, ofc we can't forget the sexy s*xual tension. Yum.

Chinese Novels, sci-fi, gender bender, BL, BG

This list contains stories on my reading lists where MC or someone else important in the story was switched at birth or the family replaced real child with a fake one later on. In most of these stories the biological family does not treat MC right. In cases where MC is replaced after birth the real child was usually either lost at young age or had a reason for replace the real child with a fake.... more>>

Descriptions may contain spoilers. They help me remember the contents of the novel.

I added a few novels that can't be found on NU in the comments. I moved the BL ones to a different list.

My personal ratings:

5 - I really love this novel. Will read this again again.

4 - I really like this novel. Will read this again.

3 - this is a nice novel. I liked it. I might read this again.

2 - this novel was okay, but I wouldn't want to read it again. Usually I find these rather boring, or at least not interesting enough to check out again.
