By "good romantic story", at minimum: no bs that isn't justified or explained, or is overly done; romance is not offensive, neither lead being an as*hole to each other; romance that isn't overly dry or has too much drama; leads may be either slightly stereotypes or codependent but at least it's cute and they are not 2d but the sides may be a little; chemistry is good and story plot is mediocre or vice versa... more>>

At best: independent badass leads where the romance is a build up of them doing their own thing and getting to know each other; solid world building; 3d characters all around; fluff that makes you happy and not bored to read; there is actually good plot; there is life beyond romance but the romance makes it nice to read too

This is basically an average person's library. I love anything that's interesting and entertaining so this list obviously reflects stories that somehow/completely entertained my mortal existence. Always remember that all of these were rated and reviewed based on how much the overall story entertained me. So uhm, happy browsing?... more>>

Note: You can write in the comment section if you have any recommendations that are in line with my taste or are simply so great that I shouldn't miss them! Thank you!! <<less

just me keeping track of what i've read till now

hewwo! this is my reading list to help me keep the track of what i've read ( ꈍᴗꈍ) 

stories that could easily be reread (when doing nothing and you want something quick or in a middle of a heavy story and needs a quick redirection).... more>>

Unranked. I've only added those I'm interested in rereading

Sooo I'm sorry if some of them are not in line with your tastes ówò <<less

It's always nice to take a break from heavier novels and read something fluffy and light-hearted.  Better yet if it's high quality fluff. So here ya go. This list is also a part of a series classified by genre (because I have too many novel to fit otherwise) ; other lists of this series include Thriller/Action, QT/Modern, and Ancient Setting novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. ... more>>

So what is my subjective version of a quality BL of this list?

-No/little plot holes 

-Not aggravatingly weak or s*upid MC

-In most cases, a respectful, long legged, hot asf ML

-Makes me smile and blush

-Don't have that many requirements for fluff....because well...it's fluff. It's not supposed to be deep. 

 ****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *."

PS. Novels I've read are the only ones rated according to number. The rest (unread) are just listed randomly. 

PSS. There are always exceptions on this list that don't fit the requirements (most likely the unread ones). But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone. 

PSSS. FME= novel has been added regardless of NU rating because it looks like it has potential or/and the reviews love it. <<less

Less than 30 chapters. Completed Novels Only.

Probably the most adorable and heart melting characterization to exist. Excessive confidence and pride, hiding a pure and shy heart. A mouth that says the... more>> exact opposite of what they feel. These types of MLs are my guilty pleasure! <<less

No Rebirth. No Reincarnation. No Transmigration. No Body Swap. Completed Novels Only.
