[5/6] a list of BL's I actually read at least 75% through + the on going ones that i really like! LOTS of BL!! this is from a series of recc lists (check out my BG recc list AND my other BL recc lists [GL coming soon !!!] !!!) that i'm making for my own reading log with hopes that other people might give them a try as well! ... more>>

♡ tips for novel enjoyment (esp for newbies to the site ! ) ♡: 

♡ give each novel a fair chance even if the rating is low ! some people just rate 1 star for no reason (especially for BLs and GLs) without even reading it, which is highly unfair ! sometimes, you'll come across GOLD in the lower ratings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

♡ check the OG novel publishing date ! older novels generally tend to have more questionable morals than ones from ~2019+, and they tend to be really cliche BECAUSE they were likely the pioneers of the genre (i.e. QT, apocalypse, etc...) you don't have to read them, but just keep that in mind !

♡ don't like? don't read ! ... But PLEASE read the synopsis and a few reviews to make sure you know what you're getting into both plot-wise and content warning-wise ! I see some people start ranting after going into a silly sweet QT novel expecting 9000+ level IQ protagonists and plots and,, i'm sorry but you're not gonna see that. manage your expectations and i assure you, you'll have a nice time! <<less

Too sad to read without tearing

based on character depth & prose quality. or really, just overall enjoyability. also a big fan of unreliable narrators, so i noted down which works has one. sorted out of the 160+ works i've read.... more>>

my ratings here are a lot stricter, but based on this list only & doesn't follow same scale as my general reviews on NU. i gave most of everything on this list 5 stars on NU.   <<less

Transmigration and other novels that I thought were pretty great.

MXTX (#1-3), Meatbun(#4-5), and Priest (#6-24) novels!! If you haven't heard of them in the BL community, then welcome you must be new here ! These 3 authors have had at least one of their novels adapted into a drama or donghua recently (or at least it's in the works *cough* HYX *cough*) you can pretty much consider them classics on danmei twt sooo here's the big 3 in BL collection!!! also,,, BUY THE OFFICIAL MXTX ENGLISH BOOKS PREORDERS OUT NOW !!! ... more>>

I'll be ranking them within their sections except for the top 3 once ive finished all of the list ((also also, Priest has BG novels as well, but i didn't include them bc this is a BL list)) 

Some notes on author styles before reading:
MXTX: very complex world building, flashbacks galore, some explicit scenes so pls pls either skip or be 18+, YEARNING

Meatbun: you literally have to be 18+, READ THE WARNINGS if you can't stand them just wait for the HYX drama to come out with a heavily censored version, knives knives knives, tissues are a must, pls i beg of you read the warnings

Priest: has lots of the politics side, not too much romance overall (but more than ppl say), very plot heavy, knives but TYPICALLY happy ending especially in the extras!! <<less

Mostly BLs I've read... more>>

Not a list for a high rating novel, just for killing time purpose. <<less

CONTAINS SPOILERS! List of arcs and (maybe) summaries of BL QT arcs. Each arc is 1 paragraph/chunk. I'll **try** to make them as short and crispy as possible but I tend to get wordy with some details >w<")7 You can just treat this as an incomplete list of BL QT novels lol ... more>>

If there's any iconic/defining points in the arcs that you think should be mentioned, let me know in the comments/replies!

List will be slowly updated as I read *cough* and reread *cough* quick wear/quick transmigration/world hopping novels. Mostly for personal record because all the QTs have been mixing up real bad in my memory

Pairings are written as MC x ML, no matter if MC is gong or shou. FL = Female Lead of the plot, OP = Original Protagonist of the plot (will be used for male protagonists to avoid confusion between MC and ML) <<less

Mostly BL bcs it's what I read the most but this is rly just a list of my 5* rating & what I find to be masterpieces (or at least rly good)... more>>

I particularly like angst with Happy Ending (open ones too.) but rly I can like everything. Be just sure to check the tags beforehead even if it's mostly safe. Sorted by my love order ♥

PS : If not finished I only rate when Ive read more than 100 chaps. 

PS2 : The tags list is just my fav ones so big chance of coming across it (at least one) when reading from here.

Updates : Ok I'll put some rly good 4* too for now :) <<less

Who said that only the ML could be unstable, possessive, or violent? A collection of BL novels with certifiably crazy MCs for those who are tired of innocent, white lotus protagonists.... more>>

Works are sorted in a very subjective order of increasing to decreasing madness, factoring how extreme the MC’s personality is in the context of their situation, and the genre of the story. For example, yandere kidnapper in modern world > unhinged killer in apocalypse > two faced fake lotus in QT genre, something like that :/ <<less

when you’re sad and you want more reason to justify your tears

Something of a graveyard, I suppose.... more>>

Here lies some novels awaiting a chance opportunity with a TL willing to take them on and finish what must be done..
That said, you can call it a museum too if that's not as morbid?

----

Here's some good news. There's been 5 novels that have restarted since I made this list!

The novels in question are mentioned in the comments and I have taken them off the list. <<less

Not in any particular order. I think these are pretty good, or I enjoyed them at least.... more>>

I have a preference for mature themes, but I also like cute ones if they are decent or unique. <<less
