I don't like abusive, dog-blood drama, and weak characterization. I don't like Imbalanced Couple where the Seme/Gong is too Overbearing. I don't like weak, femininized, Uninteresting/Lackluster Uke, or bratty/silly Shou whose IQ drop drastically when encountering the Gong.  ... more>>

So these are a few novels with good plots, and mainly consist of interesting MC and good ML I strongly recommend. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NOVELS IN THIS LIST IS RANDOMLY LISTED WITHOUT FIXED RANKING, and also these are only novels that I HAVE READ. 
This list will randomly be updated if I find another worth noting novel. <<less

The title says it all. BLs with a healthy power dynamic (mostly, since those are pretty rare), well-developed leads, great storylines, almost no unhealthy and unrealistic characterisations like yandere MLs or MCs with questionable IQs. Some exceptions are there, though; I've added the novels I liked despite them having somewhat yandere character(s).... more>>

I've added all the novels that checked off most of the boxes and noted everything I might have liked/disliked about those novels while reading. 

The rankings on each novel don't really matter (except for the ones at the beginning). Don't forget the ones at the bottom, although they're the ones I personally didn't like much! But you might!  <<less

BLs that take place in an interstellar setting. ... more>>

#5-19: Cute/Fluffy
#20+: Quick Transmigrations with Arcs denoted.  <<less

QT series with each arc listed and summarized. Might help you find a series you can't quite remember? ... more>>

This is a work in progress. I'm currently adding details for each arc as I read/re-read them. If you have suggestions, corrections, or a novel you'd like me to add, let me know!

** This list contains minor obvious spoilers. If an entry has major spoilers, they'll appear at the very end of the entry with a warning. You should have plenty of time to avoid them. If a plot detail is revealed in the first arc or in the novel summary on NU, I don't consider it a spoiler. **

This list only includes details for arcs I've read in English. If I have basic information for an arc I haven't read, I'll include it. <3 <<less

Smut with plot starts from #15 : )

Chinese BL novels/manhuas  + some Korean manhwas/novels getting adapted to live action (that I've read/heard of/know of) in 2022 (and some are later)... more>>

Let's read them all before the adaptations are here~~~ 

(01/22 edit: ahaha it might be hard now cuz of that situation with the translators, but at least here's a list for (potential) adaptations) <<less

These novels are ranked according to the amount of readers they have. If you're suprised by the ranking, then trust me, I'm also suprised to begin with lmao. I thought some novels, such as 2ha and Silent Reading (because I hear about them EVERYWHERE), would rank a bit higher but the number of readers said otherwise. ... more>>

Not sure about Silent Reading, but in 2ha's case I believe it could be because, compared to other higher-ranked novels (like The Legendary Master's Wife, Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil etc etc), it's pretty new and once its popularity sky-rocketed, it got published with eng translations and the fan translation was removed, so about 40% of readers of this novel probably bought the novel instead of reading it on NU — which is why they didn't add it to their reading list and those readers weren't counted.  <<less

NOTE: Some comments do not reflect the complete novel. I will try to update them as I read.... more>>

List of BL novels with an obsessive/possessive/yandere male lead that I enjoyed.
Sorted roughly from most obsessive to least obsessive (I used to have a bias for QT novels, though). Favorite to least favorite where I couldn't decide. Numbers 60~75 are mostly just there to fill the lower ranks, and numbers 76~91 are novels that need more updates or that I'm planning to read. <<less

<<  Shounen Ai & Yaoi novels  >>
Main Character wakes up / in another world / as someone else / in the past... more>>

- Good plot w/ Happy Endings?

- Check my reading lists cause they're all gathered there. 290+ BL novels and adding more everyday :) <<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

(Actively updated.) When I first started reading on NU, I wished that there was a rec list with long descriptions of the novels so I knew what I'm getting myself into instead of having to check the synopsis of each individual novel. Couldn't find any, so I created one. Here it is. Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience.... more>>

Disclaimer; my "reviews" are my own personal, biased opinions. I'm terrible at being systematic & putting my thoughts into effective sentences, so 90% of the novel descriptions in here are just me rambling. I usually only drop & rate novels after I've read at least until c.35. Also, I like to change my ratings & reviews sporadically. Feel free to suggest more novels and/or argue with me.

[5/5] - Truck-kun would shed real man tears at these masterpieces.

Below [4.4/5] - Truck-kun would shed tears of a disappointed Asian parent.

[3/5] - Truck-kun would hit them (again), maybe then they'll transmigrate and become a better story. Replaceable at any time.

("|| STATUS: [ ]" is my reading status as of typing the novel's description.) <<less

1. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ : definitely recommend
2. recommend
3. kinda recommend 
4. -- : undecided

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

all the novels that have a special place in my heart - in no particular order. Keep in mind that I am a very very... more>> picky reader but I often go back and reread these wayyy too many times to be healthy. These are all just gems and must-reads you have to know- there’s angst (hardcore and softcore along with stuff that made me ugly sob with hiccups), there’s downright fluff(some of them literally bleed fluff), there’s some that I read just for the plot( YES PLOT IS A TANGIBLE THING IN MOST OF THESE) and some that are just orgasmically dopamine filled. Disclaimer- like 4-5 of these are pretty hardcore so if you’re uncomfortable with yandere, dubcon, kinda~in*est, bd*m (READ THE TAGS ALWAYS) etc Just take it with a grain of salt but like it’s only a few out of this huge list. I hope you enjoy! <<less

Tried to find some top rated BL to read after LMW, but novels were all over the place, so here goes my attempt at collating them into one list.... more>>

Lowest rating will be 4.4 at that time of collation. Won't be ranked from highest to lowest. I will add novels as I find them.

Origin: No comment - haven't read it yet.    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - read it.     ✔️ - liked.    ✔️✔️ - super liked.   ✔️✔️✔️ - in love.

Its not a perfect list with particular bl story or particular genre, it's just the best I have read in the past few months. I... more>> don't have a peculiar taste in novels as long as it has a decent story, and a bl I could read it. So the following stories vary in genre from fluff to angst, historical to interstellar, sci-fi to fantasy, slice of life to action, comedy to horror, thriller.  <<less

!PLEASE READ!:    
ORDER: Alphabetical... more>>

Go check @sonialu 's list < Impression? Quality? Worthy? Check. >  To see summaries for these books. 
All types of genres in here (mostly horror, thriller, mystery, Romance) 

Rest assured my dear action fans 

There might be some BL novels included.  A LOT but don't worry there is also BG, GL ... if i can find it

~.~ !   

There is a lot of BL at first, but keep going and you'll see BG and GL ( if i can find it ) <<less

Note: All novels are rated above 4* and you can be rest assured to find some hidden gems here >o^... more>>

Okay, let's be realistic everyone~ ^v^ Human beings are not of the same mold, shape or size hence everyone's bound to have different preferences in some kind of form. Therefore, here I dutifully present to you my collection of novels that have had made the most impression on me and I can only hope that you may find THE ONE from this list.

PS. I personally love good quality reads that has a decent plot line and good character developments, as well as great translation work lest I have to destroy my brain cells haha Xd <<less

These are just my personal favourite, may have forgotten some so please put below any other recommendations. Most of the books here are either completed and fully translated or have a substantial amount of chapters built up already so u can binge. This list will probably be updated occasionally and is kinda..? in order from best to worst.... more>>

So here we go...  <<less

I read everything with good plot. I've basically read every good yaoi manga out there. So I'm expanding to danmei. Lol... more>>

But no tragedy cause I hate it. And no ongoing story cause I hate waiting, I love to spoil myself of BE or HE. FYI I love HE and hates BE.

The type of story I like are : slice of life, underdog to riches, fluffy, funny, transmigration, romantic, etc. I also love papapa so every BL I've found has more or less papapa.

I create this list to commemorate every amazing danmei/BL novel I've found. Hopefully someone will notice my taste and give me suggestion of what to read next. (◕ᴗ◕) <<less

These are my personal favourite BL novels. Possessive and dominating Gong is totally my all time fave. List also includes, r*pe, revenge and abuse seme which is kinky. haha. ... more>>

Hope this would be helpful for some of ya'll with the same taste. Enjoy!! <<less

There was a period of time where I just CRAVE Interstellar Novels! I wanted anything and I hunted for eons. ... more>>

I feel the pain of scavenging bro, so I'm providing my own list of Novels that I have finished and think they're OK to help relieve some of the time of my fellow brothren. Though the numbers are small, it's still something. <<less

Various BL novels that I've read so far and my opinions on them. I'll update this later, can't be bothered to remember and search for all the stuff I've read.  I've discovered that I love fluff and prefer healthy relationships so my comments reflect that but not all of the novels I like adhere to that and certainly not all the novels I've read.... more>>

It starts from the stuff I like (the order is based on themes, setting and genre not how much I like them), then goes into classics territory, then into "stuff that were kind of entertaining and okay but definitely not amazing" and then into "okay but kind of boring" and lastly into "I would rather have not wasted my time reading it but the ratings were good so some people may like it" (the ones here were either really bad or were good at first or in someway built expectation only to heavily disappoint). I've recently also added ones that were bad and had bad ratings which speaks for itself. Novels that aren't on NU but are interesting are in the comments.

I've removed most of the novels that were categorized as smut from this list but some of the yaoi (and also some of the shounen ai) stuff may still have some explicit scenes. 

Also, I really hate lecturing and virtue signaling in novels but I forgot to add comments for that and now I don't remember which ones were like that. If I remember I'll add that to my comments. <<less

The rank is unsorted some r rlly good some r just for passing/doesn't leave any much remarks/ very enjoyable/Classic types... more>>

I'm excluding the ones I read from flying Line Novels except for some Novels

UF (This means I haven't read it/I haven't finish reading it/Currently reading)

P.S the current list you're seeing is not every BL I've read, I haven't added the others because this is all I can come up with ATM/there r incomplete ones that I don't feel like adding/ something that I just don't really feel like adding <<less

I really like ✓unique (world building/game rule/setting), ✓logical development, ✓solid plot, ✓all character in the novel have a life of their own that not serve for the purpose of the plot and finally a ✓logical MC. If there are at least two of these qualities, LINNIL APPROVE!!... more>>

I like to read various genre I don't care if it's ✮shoujou, ✮shounen, ✮yaoi or ✮harem, if only there is my require qualities~

This list order by my like, it not depend on the novel quality though. >wOb <<less
