The bl novels that have good stories *only from the novels I read before*

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

CN novels where the MC has disabilities or sickly characters, or past trauma. Novels for MLs are in a different list. Contains spoiler. ... more>>

BG/BL. Not much world hopping or historical novels. 

Feel free to recommend any others :D <<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

As it says on the tin.... more>>

My personal 'Best of BL'. It is in order. <<less

My comments and ratings on the BEST BL out there that I've read over the past 5 years.  Completed as of January 2024 and will start part 2 list soon. ... more>>

I have a soft spot for strong MCs, unusual relationship dynamics, plotty action, and a well-developed side character cast. I tend to prefer feel-good stories over dark, overly complex ones. These stories don't have everything I like, but they're all great for at least one aspect. 4/5 = like it, 5/5 = love it! MXTX novels not included because they are classics. 

Let me know what you think or if you have MTL recommendations! <<less

Hey there! Are you in for some novels where fate causes mischief in the face of our various MCs?? Well~  you’re in the right place! =^o^ As I, your ‘one of the many readers’ humbly present to you my selection of novels that left the most impression on me regarding the tags 'transmigration', 'reincarnation', 'world hopping', and 'transported to another world' ^w^=

My favourites are at the forefront of the list whilst the ones at the back are up for you readers to determine~

Happy reading! =>o^ / ~ <<less

Here are some completed bl novels with happy endings! I don't like sad endings so here are my recommended novels with "HAPPILY EVER AFTER". Basically, you can find everything except a tragic end.  *.*... more>>

[*This list already completed its 100 novel limit. Thus I have created a 2nd once for the same. If interested you can check that out  Gentleman/Considerate Boyfriend (BL) 2.0 https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46710/?ft=yes *]... more>>

The ML is gentleman and considerate; dots upon his partner; respects him & his decisions; supportive. They can be jealous, possessive or a bit rough in bed (consensual, obviously) but they contain all the above mentioned qualities as well.

I found many MLs who maybe doting but are kinda jerk to their partners or too much bully or tease. They are good in their own terms too but I still like the well behaved type. <<less

Honestly mainly OP face slapping BL & a few GOATED Female Lead novels
Holy Grail List 

Just BL without the stereotypical overbearing, abusive, rapist ML. Naturally they also have to be good reads (though this is subjective) to make this list. ... more>>

If you feel like something should or shouldn't be included in this list, let me know and I'll review the story in question. The books are in no particular order. <<less

Just some rebirth novels I find interesting. Feel free to leave suggestions!

In general I avoid tragedy. I read for fun, not to torture myself LoL. I've read all the following series to the end, guaranteed HE. <<less

This list includes novel in which couple is married early on or arrange marriage. Romance is mostly after the marriage. Cultivating feelings slowly. Some of them have engaged couples.

¶¶All the 'incomplete translation' novels were read via Google translator¶¶ so all of them are readable unless marked as 'Not read' or 'dropped'. <<less

 

this list is for the novels that i've finished reading, that you might like and i want to recommend to you (i might include some that i couldn't finish because ...(╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠))... more>>

note: you're safe here, not much angst cause my heart can't bare it

my ratings: no more ratings because your dear author is very lazy but everything here is perfect, amazing, good and decent. ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭ <<less

No description.

About face-slapping white lotus, green tea, and others. Second chance, revenge, counterattack, change destiny and other tags. It's all about beating people up, of course.

Mostly fluffy, modern ones. Some  - Fantasy, Transmigration. 

Strictly MC or ML rebirth and no transmigration
