Sturgeon's law: 99% of everything is terrible.... more>>

I know many people say that there are no good novels on this site, and it oftens feels like the top lists are filled with overpowered MC's, undeveloped harems, 2D characters, and lacking plots.

There are some novels that stand out, however, whether that be for their plots, characters, or translations.

This is a list for my personal 1%. It is ranked in order. <<less

I didn't grow up as a reader. It's just something I was never interested in as a kid. It's not something I'm proud of but I even made fun of my sisters for reading as a kid... who would've guessed I would turn into a reader myself? Not only that but own a site related to reading!... more>>

Anyways, these are the novels that really got me addicted to this awesome community! <<less

Sorted by the size of the Harem.... more>>

You like big harems? This List is for you! Every novel is ranked by the size of the harem. Harem size is in the descriptions. <<less

Novels that I have been following for quite some time. The crème de la crème of BL. I sifted through numerous novels to find these... more>> diamonds in the- okay enough analogies... <<less

S tier - absolute masterpiece ... more>>

A tier - excellent

B tier - really good

All of the novels have enough chapters, have something special and are my favourites, therefore there are no bad novels here.

Of course this is purely my opinion. <<less

The title says it all. BLs with a healthy power dynamic (mostly, since those are pretty rare), well-developed leads, great storylines, no unhealthy and unrealistic characterisations like yanderes or MCs with questionable IQs. ... more>>

All the novels in this list strike my G-spot and I hope it works like that for you as well. These are carefully picked and I've added everything I might have liked/disliked about it while reading.

The rankings on each novel don't really matter, I like all of them unless stated otherwise. Don't forget the ones at the bottom because their ranking isn't really true!! <<less

this is a binge list. so other than a couple, I've put down books that are 100+ chapters or completed for your binging happiness.... more>>

also, spoiler alert if you look past my ratings, since I might give away the identities/aspects of the identities of the mc/ml.

ratings are based on (uniqueness and pacing of) plot, (3D) character development, and (quality of) translation.

I'm not done leaving reviews. sorry <<less

Novels I enjoyed/am planning to read in the future. A lot of kingdom building, some otome game, some reincarnation.

I am so tired of the "I'm not gay/not willing, but it felt so good last night, and he will kill anyone else I might fall in love with, so maybe I don't really mind that much, but I will keep running away because I think I'm addicted to being forced down" protagonists! So I'm creating a list that is completely opposite.... more>>

The most important criteria for choosing the novels is how honest and genuine the protagonists are to each other. There is no particular order, I only add novels that I would rate 6/5

Comment to recommend novels. EDIT: I read all the novels before adding them (at least all translated chapters), so it might take me a while to add them. I am still updating the list, but very rarely because I'm very picky and only want to include the best. <<less

Are you just like me who is tired reading those harem stories where MC always acts so dense that it gets on your nerves and... more>> doesn't know how vagina works? Then look no further, try the suggestions from my list as they are cr <<less

My Favorite Best Ancient or Modern Chinese Yuri Novel. Recommended This Good GL Novel. Sweet, Fluffy And Hilarious GL Novel.

Here of some of my favorite novels, i tend to like novel without romance, harem, ecchi, or tragedy tags. I also like stories with great... more>> side characters rather than just focusing solely on MC. So if you look for those harem seeking protag and usual face slapping novel then sorry~ this isn't for ya... <<less

They're apparently so bad, they're good. Also considered "classics".

Please consider donating some BL recommendations down in the comments, and I will add them to this to-read-list! I am seriously in need of food... more>> for my soul... thank you! Keep the yandere to a minimum <<less

Baby and little kid cuteness only! (no lolis, unless they're kiddie cute).  ONGOING LIST.... more>>

Chibi means 'little' (but can also mean the adorable manga style also known as super-deformed, where characters are drawn like little kids).

'There can never be too much chibi/SD, as long as it's well drawn.' <<less

These novels has no clear love interests, nor any future romance that I expect, and had given me the chance to ship anyone as I like, or enjoy the non romance relationships that I like, and enjoy the not romance related plot.... more>>

* most of the novels are on going, if not all of them

* this list is in progress

* I read all of them. But not to the end of the translated chapters for some of them <<less

My top novels. Low-key mainstream with generic rinse and repeat plot points but w/e. Still love the genre and writing style. 
Start date: April 2019

I like: well-characterized MCs who are interesting and complex, MLs with a personality, side characters that aren't just cardboard cut-outs, gaming/mystery/horror/entertainment themes... more>>

These stories don't have everything I like (interesting plot, well-characterized MC and ML, no cliches), but they're all great for at least one aspect. 4/5 = really like it, 5/5 = really love it!

Usually not a fan of cultivation plots, but I'll make an exception for excellent stories. <<less

this is a binge list. so I've put down books that are 100+ chapters or completed for your binging happiness.... more>>

In order of my preference, not in order of the rating they get from me. <<less

Stories where the main character is not a virgin. This list was created to highlight stories with an MC who manages to take a relationship... more>> to its logical conclusion, unlike so many stories that keep him unrealistically celibate forever. There's usually no point including R-18 stories in this list because the tag makes it obvious. <<less

List of all Korean otome fantasy novels which I found (sorted by rating).... more>>

Translated but unlisted on NU: The Evil Lady's Hero (3 ch; pocky's bookshelf), My Sister Picked up the Male Lead (4 chs; solace), Unripened (3 chs; solace), The Resetting Lady (3 chs; pocky's bookshelf), I am the Male Lead's Ex-Girlfriend (1 ch; royal scandal).

0 chapter doesn't mean it is really 0. you could check the discord of the group previously translating for more information (secret land castle, pocky's bookshelf, royal scandal).

title number #48 and up are new titles, still waiting for a few time for the global rating to settle before sorting it based on the rating. <<less

Some are abandoned.... more>>

Notice the absence of anything other than JP.

Avoid translations by "Estelion's Secret Imouto". <<less

If you're looking for bl without all the abuse. Please note that not all novels will be fluffy or without uncomfortable content, because this list instead focuses on the main couple and how they interact with each other (i.e. healthy main romance).... more>>

Does not include: unequal power dynamics like student/teacher or incest, pedophilia or predatory age gaps, manipulative or controlling love interests, rape/sexual assault/dubious consent, physical or emotional abuse

List will update as I get far enough into the novels to be sure of their content. 

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or disagree and I will rethink my additions!

edit: sorry for any confusion about the list recently! updates to the list system knocked out my description and I hadn't noticed <<less

i dont like pie from the sky and lucky mc(i get jelaus), i dont like dense mc(i myself can do dense staf), dont like sliceOfLife, dont like selfsacrificing hero, dont like destiny chosen. dont like revenge as final goal.... more>>

btw, why no mc throw pepper in face of thugs? pepper nowaday is really cheap. carrying pepper better than carrying knife or bat. <<less

I fell in love with business farming novels with FL. I thought I would share it with u. ????... more>>

Update: I found an app, BabelNovel, that has a lot of farming novels with female protagonists, but English translation is poor for some. It will require much patience.  <<less
