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

Part 2 : https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/2925/

Prt 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/37919/?st=1... more>>

High Quality BL (slightly more serious) reads set in modern/futuristic setting--or perhaps jumps between time through transmigration. This list is 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, Fluff, and Ancient Setting novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. 

So what is my subjective version of a quality BL of this list?

-No/little plot holes & well developed plot

-Capable MC and ML  (not aggravatingly s*upid and knows when to respect each other but also put their foot down at the right moments). If not capable, at least not s*upid. 

-Lasting impression. I made this list by memory so if it's not on here...Chances are it's not worth remembering for the list.

 ****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars (purely subjective, take it with a grain of salt). 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. Though not fluff, there will be some Feel Good (have more of a plot) novels here. <<less

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

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

let's discuss below about the novels !!! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ i just really want more people to at least know these stories BECAUSE i think they deserve more... more>> attention because some barely even reach 1000 reads  !?!?!,,, and also please suggest on the comments since i'll be adding on this list daily :D <<less

you'll get QT, World hopping, Transmigration, Rebirth, second-chance, and Fluff!!!- eat em up darlings!

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.

PSSS. FME= novel has been added regardless of NU rating because it looks like it has potential or/and the reviews love it. <<less

Just masterpieces I’ve gathered up. Mostly non toxic relationship, decent characters, and good storyline. It won’t feel like you’re wasting your time reading it.

To satisfy my rotten heart....
Including those books which doesn't have smut tag but contain NSFW scenes..

Mainly transmigration novels where MC has to try and avoid death or following the fate of the previous body, BxG and BxB w/ 1x1 romance. Most novels I have tried/read and enjoy reading (which is hard for me).... more>>

Personal selection of BL novels that I love and would like to reread again and again

My current reading list of my favorite BL(Boy Love/Boy x Boy) novels including System/World hopping(Isekai), Xianxia (Cultivation, immortals, Daoism), and General Fantasy in no particular... more>> order. None of these Novels are finished in translation, so i recommend MTLing them through Fanyi.baidu.com if they aren't being updated anymore or you like them too much to wait.  <<less

These are the novels that I personally enjoyed, though some of them might not be my favorites, they still had enough influence stay in my heart as a decent novel at the very least... well, most of them. (Also I'm actually back now 2022, got burnt out after reading too much reincarnation paradise)[2023 here, uhhh, oops]... more>>

*Rest of description is for when you enter the list*
{I'm back and ready to fix my younger self's s*upid tastes, some are pretty good though}

(My reviews will not be consistent with the list because I go into the read deeper rather than just a overview, make sure to check my oldest comment, it is also the most liked one, it has the unpublished reads)

[S tier is a 5 star read, A is a 4.5 star read, B tier is a 4 star read, C tier is a 3.5 star read, D tier is a 3 star read, E tier is a 2 star read, F tier is a 1 star read] 

[SS and X tier are special. SS is consistency and intrigue, and X is the top 3 with the SS tier also being applied] 

(exaggerated tier which is a new special tier has been added, this is when I give reads that just started a good tier even when there isn't enough chapters to properly review it, the tier of the read will most probably change someday)

(The special tiers will now be accompanied by a regular tier, Exagg. tier will be accompanied with a Z)  <<less

I have a soft spot for naive and oblivious MCs, so here goes my list.... more>>

BG - heterosexual. BL - boy love <<less

Yaoi. Shounen Ai. R18+. R15.... more>>

I have not finished reading most of them, so I can't guarantee it is a good read or not.

PS: there is not yaoi tag lmao what the heck

PSS: I have more but I have reached the limit and I got lazy to add more. Here is my reading list link

https://www.novelupdates.com/reading-list/?list=2 <<less

Good BLs that are a little less healthy/quality, or too short to judge yet. SF is squick factors, CW is content warnings. If I missed some lmk. Mxtx, Priest, and Meatbun not here bc most ppl know how they feel and I don’t feel like defending my opinion. ... more>>

CURRENTLY BEING REVISED AND NEW LISTS MADE SO I CAN FIT IN EVERYTHING I WANT TO. WILL GET MUCH SHORTER FOR A WHILE BUT I PROMISE IT WILL GET LONGER AGAIN. <<less
