Waiting for the fruit to ripen…

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

Novels w/
• jealousy
• sly comments
• tension
• obsessive love... more>>

I've ranked these based on the ones I've enjoyed the most considering the plot and possessiveness of the male lead by a 2:1 ratio ~

Only straight romances 

(I have another list only for BL)

what I've written are my honest opinions and pls feel free to reccomend more or to ask any questions ~♡ <<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

(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

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

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

Based on my personal scale of yandere intensity.... more>>

NOTE: THE RATING IS NOT A RATING OF THE NOVEL, ONLY THE INTENSITY OF THE YANDERE. 

This list includes all the books I think are solid 7+/10 and very intense male yanderes. BL included. Most novels are completed. Spoilers beware! 

The Scale:

1: All bark no bite

7: Glaring red flags, but red is my favourite colour. 

9: Perfect intensity. The most intense just below abusive imo. 

10: My friend, if you don't get out of there, imma call 911 to drag you out of there. Somebody get a restraining order pls im begging.

Please note: These are intense yanderes, there will be toxic and abusive relationships. Please read the tags for TWs. <<less

haven't read this all BUT this is basically my ongoing list so this is also for me as well HAHA ヾ(*'▽'*) these are very well-recommended... more>> to me so I wanna share these to you guys!!! (⌒ω⌒)ﾉ ps: i'm not really sure if this is ACTUALLY underrated but i just haven't seen that much people talk about this so here you go!!! | 4.5 stars and above and in NO particular order <<less

Exactly as the name entails, BL.... more>>

Consists of transmigration, reborn etc. If it's BL it's here.

Have to add that I have a preference for transmigration and usually avoid slowburn romance, so if you want a slow paced novel, it's not here sweetie

Ranking based on:

Plot- Whether plot makes sense, and foreshadowing is given closure. All around just entertaining, and doesn't feel like a chore to read.

Characters- If the characters are fu cking tr*sh, the novel is tr*sh, 'nough said.

Translation quality- Many idioms in chinese novels tend to fly over people's head. And if the translator doesn't have an apt website, I will also find it a hassle to read. <<less

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

I would sell my soul to read these again the first time, they're all absolutely top tier. The first time readers should cherish their first read. The genres are mixed though, there's unlimited flow, xianxia, historical, etc. The novels I added here are 9-10/10 ... more>>

Orders of stories are random. <<less

My favorite Novels where mc is being loved by one or many yandere chracters

我把你们当哥们[快穿]  - quick transmigration, system novel

All novels witl ml or mc being a system... <<less

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

Collections of interesting BL/Yaoi/DanMei that is reread worthy in my personal opinion.... more>>

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

Lots of QT novels !!!... more>>

there is no order .

All of the novels are 1V1 ( i think heehee)

This list kinda looks like my other QT novels list , but with more novels :P

i could accidentally add some infinite/unlimited flow novels sorry for that -_- ( its cuz i don't really know what exactly the difference is between the 2 genres- uhm- soRry-)

I could accidentally add some novels that do not follow the QT novel standards but do have world hopping

i don't think that i'll add any notes  but who knows.... ;)

haven't read all of them yet ! <<less

I adore MLs who are a bit wrong in the head and crazy obsessed with the MC. They can be insane in general or insane for the MC, but more on the latter! They may or may not be manipulative in general or towards the MC. ... more>>

List contains both BG (MC is female x ML) or BL.Many of these have a period where ML was separated from the MC hehe. 

However note that the obsession and/or insanity of the MLs here are palatable. I'm a bit queasy with immoral/actually evil MCs and MLs and I tend to dislike them and the book even tho I know it's just fiction. So yeah, despite these guys being unhinged, they're not really evil and they won't abuse the MC.  <<less

I'm a sucker for Protagonists with gorgeous faces. So here are some recommendations for face-cons like me :D... more>>

Edit: Who knew it would be hard finding pretty-faced MCs where their beauty is either heavily related to the plot or frequently mentioned? <<less

List contains mostly fluffy, heart-warming novels as my life is already angsty enough as it is.... more>>

- Over-powered, mary-sue like MC's as I love projecting myself onto characters :')

- Sci-fi, non/half-humanoid settings as who doesn't love the gays in space. 

- Easy non angst QT novel reads for an easy Segway into the genre

- Gaymers.

- 4+ rating

Sorry most of the descriptions may just be rambles as I wrote them inebriated.  <<less

This is a list of BL novels that I have read. Making this list so that when I want to reread I will not have issues finding the novels.... more>>

 Sadly, I still can not remember the name of the novel I want to reread.
This list is finished. I will post the link for part two in the comments.  I have more novels to add but I need time to search up their specific name. Just remembered some and wanted to add them. I will be taking more time to explain each novel.

Anyways, Enjoy! <<less
