A compilation of Chrysanthemum Garden BL novels I've read or am currently reading.

Some are completed, other I finished it by mtl. They're quite good stories which I like. Hope you find your preference here. Thanks to those... more>> who follow this list. <<less

 What I want to list is just how an arc end with BE (Bad End) in BL QT novels. I do not promise if at the end of the novel it will be BE or HE.... more>>

This list has no particular order. Due to the fact that I love BE and a sucker at it when I read QT, I made this list. I enjoyed BE ending arc a lot because they gave me feels sometimes. But, that is to say not that I do not like HE but sometimes BE slaps me with reality, it seems. <<less

100 novels about Cultivation with male female protagonists, whether they are Xianxia, ​​Wuxia or Xuanhuan.... more>>

The novels that really hooked me and made me see endless possibilities. Truly a masterpiece. Each of their own plots and uniqueness. The characters hooked... more>> me. All in all, it was a list of all my favorites that I wanted to share. You won't regret reading it, unless you only read fluffy novels without any plot. You gotta appreciate the growth of the characters, uniqueness, plot, mysteries, and the flow of these wonderful novels. If you think that even one of them didn't deserve in this list, then I suggest booking an appointment with one of the psychologist and let them study your brain status. You need some serious mental fixing! <<less

One that I could re-read again;especially if I dont have any idea what to read next.

The plot, the writing style and character growth have all been done very well in these novels. All have a female protagonist. 

As a man, I am not interested in shoujo novels in general... However, there are some that I've dared to try out that I've quite enjoyed. Here's a list!... more>>

Some I've admittedly not yet tried but soon intend to do so since they look like they would appeal, so my confidence level in the appeal is high for the first 15 titles, and... more experimental for the following...

Also, check out:
- The calamity of a reborn witch on RRL, it's a really great novel

I welcome thoughts and comments, particularly on ranking, additions and unsuitable novels for this list. <<less

Yaoi, fluff, smut, heart melting, sweet, sometimes with a few tears to shed but 99% HE!! (I avoid tragic ending as much as possible.) List not in order. Constantly updated as I read more and more BL (◕‿◕✿)
Highly recommended reads : 'Deep in the Act', 'The Rental Shop Owner',  'Assistant Architect', 'The Founder of Diabolism', 'Heaven Official's Blessing', 'Haka No Naka'.  ... more>>

For fluff（ ＾ν＾）: Assistant Architect, Love Stops Rumours, The Daily Life of being the Campus Idol's Fake Boyfriend, Transmigration into a Mob Character...

For Best all around : The Founder if Diabolism, Heaven Official's Blessing  (same author)

For action: Thrive in Catastrophe, Kill the Lights, Advance Bravely  <<less

Some finished. Some beginning.

Good reads. Good translation. Some of the things I have included here may not be the best out there but they are entertaining.  Btw, please... more>> disregard the ranking- I randomly add books here.  <<less

List of novels where there are children involved. Children can be biological, adopted, relative, or not related- but must be important on the plot and... more>> mentioned in more than three sentences. Includes BL and not BL. Excludes any story where the ONLY CHILD in the story was the MC or became the love interest of the MC. <<less

another set, oh, how I love female protagonists.......

As far as I'm concerned, you can't trust in the overall novel ranking. ... more>>

I am sure there are different reasons for this development. And without a doubt one of them is a female readers' activity. What I mean is that they are much more active and generous in rating, comment section, lists. etc. If you are looking for proof you can try sorting all the novels by rating and here you will mostly see yaoi, shounen-ai, josei, shoujo, romance. Also, many other novels can't escape their influence. I mean, nobody said that they can't enjoy popular seinen novels, right? I am not saying that it's something bad or trying to stop them, but as a normal, straight guy, I can't enjoy the situation either.

So here comes my personal, manlier than even me, top of the novels I've enjoyed reading!

I can't really describe myself as a picky reader, but I have to spend quite a lot of time looking for something that satisfy my preferences. Which are mainly: 

1. No wimp/beta protagonist. (Life is hard as it is. I see no reason to read about someone's indecisiveness and useless tears.)

2. Protagonist with at least average level of intellegence. Otherwise it's too annoying to read.

3. As a litrpg genre fan i've got a soft spot for stories with different kinds of systems.

I guess that's it. <<less

exactly what it says on the tin.

I read both male and female protagonist novels and here are the novels where I was like "Damn, that sh*t good."... more>>

This is also your local novel drug store. Proceed with caution.

Not in any particular order except top 3 o̶r̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶b̶e̶ ̶1̶0̶ ̶t̶o̶p̶.̶

RANKING IS DEAD. It's too annoying to rank these novels because they all have their good points. :) <<less

I think these stories are interesting. Will be enough to pass your time. ^?^

Novel's I like.... more>>

Update* I got to lazy to sort the list so all newly added novel's are at the bottom <<less

Novels containing individuals that have an ability/trait to have monsters and other creatures be their allies/pets or novels in which nonhumaniod creatures are smart enough... more>> to be considered a separate sapient race and several of which befriend/ally with the protagonist. 
*FYI: The List isn't sorted by any standard other than the order in which they were added.
** Please note that I am only one person, so I may have missed some novels. In such a case, leave a comment, and I will do my best to add it! <<less

Lately, I have been obsessed with CN Novels with badass FMCs, so naturally I had to make a list with the ones I've read/reading. Every single novel on this list is worth reading, so rest assured! I'll gradually add my rating and reviews at the end of the synopsis, so make sure to read them!... more>>
