If you're looking for bl without all the abuse. Please note that not all novels will be fluffy or without uncomfortable content, because this list instead focuses on the main couple and how they interact with each other (i.e. healthy main romance).... more>>

Does not include: unequal power dynamics like student/teacher or in*est, pe*ophilia or predatory age gaps, manipulative or controlling love interests, r*pe/s*xual assault/dubious consent, physical or emotional abuse

List will update as I get far enough into the novels to be sure of their content. 

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or disagree and I will rethink my additions!

edit: sorry for any confusion about the list recently! updates to the list system knocked out my description and I hadn't noticed <<less

These are the novels which has good plotline and smex scenes. I have included short novels as well if their is a considerable plot. (Some novels even after having just 10 chapters can have good plotline)... more>>

Degree varies; whether the scenes are detailed or not is mentioned

I personally prefer such novels where 'willing' physical intimacy is also shown. So descriptions are based on my likeness to the relationship.

Consent.is.Important. 

I have only included the ones I have read.

If you have novel recommendation(s) please comment.

I'm a very picky reader. If the novel's translation is hard for me to understand, if the plot stagnates or if the relationship between main leads seems abusive/unhealthy - I drop right where I am and never come back.... more>>

These are the novels I managed to finish and thoroughly enjoy. Fair warning, I have a soft spot for cheesy romance & OP mc, it shows. 

It's in order.  <<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

(Not in order) kings, knights, princes, commoners, priests, mages, angels and demons, heroes, adventurers please god juzt give me my perfect bI... more>>

(Some game elements, some transmigration, "mmorpg" styled setting, and european ambience)

I usually scan through smut before i read lmao, ill try and reference chaps if ur in just for that

I dont add every single book that belongs in the genre simply for the fact that i havent seen it yet or i just dont like them. Down for suggestions coz im similarly down bad. <<less

While looking at the selection you may realize that I have way too much time on my hands, which causes my friends to have a lot of questions about me, ha ha ha... I'm probably fine...probably...... more>>

Some have Plot+Smut, some only have smut.

I personally like Plot+Smut, so there’s more Plot+Smut. <<less

The MCs of the list are comparatively active ones. They can be dense before the relationship like Wei Ying but they get enlightened sooner or later (≧▽≦).
They may or may not be the first one to fall in love.... more>>

It may sound weird but before reading 'Advance Bravely' novel I almost came to believe that in all the Chinese BL novels, One partner is always reluctant or passive; well it maybe noted that I haven't had read that many BL novels before it; this novel enlightened me.

I have only included the ones I have read.

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>>

MIND YOU SOME ARE WEIRD WITH NO SENSE OF STORY OR PLOT AT ALL!     ;P

exactly what it says on the tin.

This a list of my all-time favourite stories. Adding reviews in-progress. (May take over a long span of time.) Novels are sorted in descending worthwhileness.... more>> (Again from perspective.) <<less

I want to poop but I’m typing this instead- ... more>>

ok jk that was joke guys pls don’t leave! )): <<less

 This hasn't been sorted out, rankings are the first novels I've read till its the most recent novel I was reading..(you can see how much my taste have changed hehe)... more>>

I also want to mention that due to some completed novels that looks like it has no chapters... is because of the translators locking the chapters and sites. You either have two or three options. 
✿(P.S. I put a sign to distinguish at the end of each novel's bio to distinguish if its a password needed novel.....)✿

[ 1.)You can ask permission from the translators to read them but it doesn't really happen often ..

2.) or I recommend this method more which is, you can go to their website and read their explanation or bio on how to read the locked chapters, it varies. ***But in most cases, you can either DM their used social media like twitter to get the password. Or either get an invite from their discord; get verified; and get the password; and there you can finally read....(If you still can't find info or anything then the translator might have really deleted their translations, in worse cases you might never read the masterpieces...) ;-;

 3.) There is also translators here who ban some countries due to bots ripping off their hard work. The only thing you could do is just use VPN. But if not, you are very very lucky..... cause my country is banned so I have to use VPN. *sobbing* ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д`ﾟ)ﾟ｡  ] <<less

Novels where the ML or MC turn into a cat/dog. 

I just want the MC to act according to what they are (or have become) and not what they once were. Animals that act like animals rather than animals that pretend or desperately want to be human.... more>>

This is based off of the books I've read so far. The order is irrelevant. How good the book is is irrelevant.

 Suggestions are welcome <<less

I just wanted to read a cute novel like Violant of the Silver, then got interested in reading other BL/danmeis. Here is my journey reading them! I bet my fujoshi friend of 14 years will be proud. This list is dedicated to her. Hopefully anyone checking out this list can find a novel that suits you. I don't actually love (but I at least mildly enjoy) every novel in this list so this will be my impressions on the novels I've read. Not all the stories I like are actually that good but they somehow still strike my heart!... more>>

Note: The order shows when I read them. The novels are not ranked! <<less

Novels with a relaxing plot , i.e , no drama, Only fluff and comedy.... more>>

-- All the novels have Happy ending.

Hope you enjoy it~ <<less

Books that I have read or am reading that either have cats, werecats, or other beasts of similar forms.... more>>

All the books in the list will be books I consider "good reads" from a very wide range of genres.(I am actively updating it)

I'm going to start sorting the list slowly, best to worst (imo). last partial sort update:8/30/2021 <<less

No description.

As it seems like there's a vast difference between eastern and western definition and importance of consent, and there's an incredible amount of in that regard questionable stories on this site, I made this list: BG and BL without consent issues. People tend to view things differently but I'm trying to be as clear and strict as possible here.... more>>

 Consent may not always be explicitly given. But there will be no instances of implied or explicit non consent. 

My memory isn't perfect but I'll make a note to what degree I'm sure about a novel qualifying (99% being max). If I put a novel in here that doesn't actually qualify, then I'm sorry about that and please correct me in the comments. 

For incomplete novels, I will also include the number of the chapter when I added it to the list, as I may not be able to guarantee it qualifying after that chapter.

I will alternate between BL (odd) and BG (even) for as long as possible. That means newly added novels might not show up at the end of the list.

If you'd like, feel free to give recommendations.

Almost qualifiers and demoted stories are in the comments. <<less

All BL novels I’ve read. Most of them I loved/really really liked, some were fine and some were meh. Just look through and find something to your liking.  ... more>>

(all with Happy End; I rate them 1-6; also the order is chronological - freshly completed in the end ) <<less

BL novels of around 40 chapters, quick reads and short chapters as well as one shots. These reads are relatively short and can be finished in a few hours or maximum a day. ... more>>

Ratings rank between 1 and 5, with 5 being an absolute winner. 

Watch out for the SPOILER ALERT! To avoid reading any plot points.  <<less
