The title says it all. BLs with a healthy power dynamic (mostly, since those are pretty rare), well-developed leads, great storylines, almost no unhealthy and unrealistic characterisations like yandere MLs or MCs with questionable IQs. Some exceptions are there, though; I've added the novels I liked despite them having somewhat yandere character(s).... more>>

I've added all the novels that checked off most of the boxes and noted everything I might have liked/disliked about those novels while reading. 

The rankings on each novel don't really matter (except for the ones at the beginning). Don't forget the ones at the bottom, although they're the ones I personally didn't like much! But you might!  <<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

- Good plot w/ Happy Endings?

- Check my reading lists cause they're all gathered there. 290+ BL novels and adding more everyday :) <<less

Some need to be in a jail-room, others need to be in a therapy room, and the MC needs to be in a courtroom to get a restraining order against them... Unless he's into it, in which case, who am I to complain? ... more>>

Edit: Woa, I never expected that many users to like obsessive MLs, feels great to see those with the same 'guilty pleasures' as mine (I don't feel guilty though, not because my taste is good but because I lack shame). We're out here bonding over unhinged guys lmao. Also, what's your ideal obsessive ML? I'm quite curious, so feel free to comment it below. 

Personally, I prefer MLs who are usually ruthless and somewhat cruel to everyone but the MC, whom they treat with utmost love, care and respect, of course they're still 'toxic' in a way they wouldn't leave the MC alone or ever separate from him, but to make him stay, they'd rather pamper him to the hell and back than use torture or abuse. A big plus if they're paired with sly and morally grey MCs.

Edit 2: if you see random words censored, it ain't me. NU just recently started doing that out of nowhere :/ <<less

CONTAINS SPOILERS! List of arcs and (maybe) summaries of BL QT arcs. Each arc is 1 paragraph/chunk. I'll **try** to make them as short and crispy as possible but I tend to get wordy with some details >w<")7 You can just treat this as an incomplete list of BL QT novels lol ... more>>

If there's any iconic/defining points in the arcs that you think should be mentioned, let me know in the comments/replies!

List will be slowly updated as I read *cough* and reread *cough* quick wear/quick transmigration/world hopping novels. Mostly for personal record because all the QTs have been mixing up real bad in my memory

Pairings are written as MC x ML, no matter if MC is gong or shou. FL = Female Lead of the plot, OP = Original Protagonist of the plot (will be used for male protagonists to avoid confusion between MC and ML) <<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.

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

Its not a perfect list with particular bl story or particular genre, it's just the best I have read in the past few months. I... more>> don't have a peculiar taste in novels as long as it has a decent story, and a bl I could read it. So the following stories vary in genre from fluff to angst, historical to interstellar, sci-fi to fantasy, slice of life to action, comedy to horror, thriller.  <<less

don't you just hate it whenever you got transmigrate in a novel? especially a bl one? the feeling of adapting to a foreign place, with a golden finger- a whiny useless system? with your top notch acting skills, trying to not get killed but everyone falls in love with you suddenly? every single damn time, you just wanna go home but some hot pancakes tries to do you?! ah ah ah! what to do! this laozi just wanna go home!! send help uwu... more>>

ML: who are you talking to?

MC: AHHH STOP- DONT COME NEAR ME! THIS LAOZI WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH!

ML: ...

ML: tie him up.

UWU <<less

I read everything with good plot. I've basically read every good yaoi manga out there. So I'm expanding to danmei. Lol... more>>

But no tragedy cause I hate it. And no ongoing story cause I hate waiting, I love to spoil myself of BE or HE. FYI I love HE and hates BE.

The type of story I like are : slice of life, underdog to riches, fluffy, funny, transmigration, romantic, etc. I also love papapa so every BL I've found has more or less papapa.

I create this list to commemorate every amazing danmei/BL novel I've found. Hopefully someone will notice my taste and give me suggestion of what to read next. (◕ᴗ◕) <<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*

You can browse up and down if there is one on here you like. The one before is likely to have similar aspects to the one after and so on. These are in the order in which I read them, as this list is mostly for my own sake. I like shorter, completed trans, reinc, time slip, QT with fantasy romance, game elements and systems, and bl. I love sweet mindless fluff stories and mature stories that make you think also rl game menu status plates. Some stories have these, some don't. I have attached a summary, thoughts, and where I've read to as the notes. I didn't filter what I put there, so beware-... more>>

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

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

Looking for HE a good chase without too much sidecar 

Listed are my favorite stories that are really good and makes me want to reread again. All are HE since I love HEs, and are highly recommended. Also added my comments and (attempted) reviews.... more>>

Hope you can also recommend interesting novels to me. Thanks. <<less

 What I want to list is just how an arc end with BE (Bad End) in BL QT novels. I do not promise if at the end of the novel it will be BE or HE.... more>>

This list has no particular order. Due to the fact that I love BE and a sucker at it when I read QT, I made this list. I enjoyed BE ending arc a lot because they gave me feels sometimes. But, that is to say not that I do not like HE but sometimes BE slaps me with reality, it seems. <<less

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

If you love all those then this list is for you, I’m just too lazy to separate them. I’ll add more when I get through all the ones I’ve read.They are all completed. Some are great, some are okay, some are just not for me. ... more>>

PS: so far I’ll only put what I’ve read and completed. If you have any suggestion, feel free to drop it here!

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

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
