These novels are those that I deemed worthy of being called one of the High/Top Tier BL novels out here. ... more>>

There are also novels here that aren't BL but I still included them (in the list and in the comment box) to bring such masterpieces to your attention.

Also, those with a ⭐ are the ones that occupy a space in my heart! They are very special to me and I will read them over and over again!

10/08/2023. I will arrange my lists in the future! So excited!

01/29/2024. Making a second shelf! Link: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/85506/?ft=yes <<less

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

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.

Part 2 - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/18634/ <<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

A list for stories with minimum conflict and a lot of fluff and healing with cute children and/or animals. No harems. Contains some BL. ... more>>

*Constantly updated. Suggestions are welcome!

**Not in particular order

Fluff level (10= all fluff, no plot; 5=occasional fluff, a lot of plot; to 1=all plot, no fluff) <<less

These are all the European fantasy BL I've read. Some of it it's pure fantasy and some of it is video game based. Like they isekaied into a video game or it's a virtual reality thing. I'll give them a 1-10 rating as well, but this is just my personal feelings. A lot of these are absolute tr*sh. XD And some have unfortunately been abandoned for a long time by their translators. Read at your own risk.... more>>

Now these are just the ones I've read/started to read. There's plenty more I haven't gotten around to or I'm waiting to see if they'll actually be completed before starting. But feel free to leave some more down in the comments!

Spicy levels: these are how much explicit material to expect.

0: no explicit material and not even a reference to doing the deed

Mild: may be some intense kissing or implied s*x, but usually it's a fade to black deal

Medium: they do the deed, but it may not be too explicitly described or not happen that often

Hot!: much sex 

Very very hot!: pure smut, even ranging into hentai, read at your own risk. <<less
