In terms of the romance tho, this list varies widely. 

If recs or suggestions or comments on the books plz comment thx :) <<less

Lighthearted, no angst, cute, romantic, warm and sweet. I re-read those often. Only completed novels listed. Some do have a little angst, but it is never between the couple, mostly drama from their past or outsiders who bring them trouble.... more>>

Those novels are well-written, with coherent story, coherent protagonists, coherent fantasy/modern world-building. Coherence and consistency in both plot and character behaviour are really important for me. I am not looking for realism. I am looking for cohesion and escapism. I don't mind characters who are OP, filthy rich, tsunderes, yanderes, geniuses, black-belly, child-like adults, evil demons, amoral characters, shota, obssessive, possessive etc.. i don't mind excessive characters because that's exactly what i like. I like that in Asian lit, those marginal characters are heroes and not defined by standardised morality. In Western lit, i don't meet many characters like that, and i have 45yrs of reading western literature. The only character set i avoid are indecisive protags who have no self-knowledge and keep self-analysing which i find quite boring. IRL, i also avoid such people lol... <<less

I started to become a fujoshi when I was in High School, I would read mangas, fanfictions and play VN primarily (DMMd was so hot... more>> //////). Then Danmei came into my life during my university days, my dear friend introduce me to Mo Dao Zu Shi, then all hell break loose. <<less

I read hundreds BL novel on novelupdates and now dare to make this list. The greatest, most wonderful BL novel to read :))

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

My favorite longer novels. Most are BL and all are completely translated

Just some wonderful yaoi novels that I’ve already read or appreciate to the point of putting it all in a list~

All my favorite gay novels I'll keep adding More

Basically what it says on the tin. BL novels with couples who have relationships that are just really nice. I'm trying to stick to ones with healthy dynamics, relations built on affection, and maybe some tooth rotting cuteness. At the very least, not crazy psychotic love interests. ... more>>

Please do comment if you have any recommendation that'd fit the bill!  <<less

My most precious BL in numbered order of how much I like them
All completed
All 1v1 romances... more>>

No excessive tragedies (ML or MC deaths, splitting up in end, etc.), bittersweet at worst <<less

No description.

I am a sucker for (1) traditional, ancient setting w/ fantasy elements, xianxia (not really wuxia), tragedy, face-slapping, revenge, rebirth troupes. (2) fluffy, comedy that makes me rolling on the ground laughing... more>>

But I edit this list every time I finish reading a novel, so most of the time, the newer ones will be higher up. So the ranking is pretty biased. 
Just saying that I'm very picky and values rating (4.5 or above is usually my cut off, although there are some exceptions. OR sometimes the novel rating decreased over time)

Just keep in mind that I'm a person who if a story can make me cry my eyes out, that story will inevitably rank higher than those that are just as good, but do not have a tragic element to it. Generally, tragic stories leave more of an impression on me <<less
