Ancient or Cultivation BL reads that will make you feel you didn't waste your time. This list is apart of a series classified by genre; other lists of this series include Thriller/Action, Fluff, and Modern/Transmigration novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. Honest note--not a big fan of ancient settings. I've judged quality by reviews and seeming plot. ... more>>

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). 

 -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.

-Makes me think--especially applies to this genre since I usually read this genre for the court schemes and palace intrigues. 

-Make me cry, laugh, yell or gasp. Perhaps all at the same  time. 

*****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. 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. But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone.  <<less

Also contains transmigration Gong MC, or purely Gong MCs. <<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!

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.

Master x Disciple / Elder disciple(shixiong) x Younger disciple(shidi)... more>>

I have a preference for MCs raising a bun thinking it's a white rabbit when it's actually a h**ny wolf-pup gong who just wanna push them down and "cultivate" feelings~ 

But this contain 4or5 older gongs/seme MCs too (mostly cause my lazyass can't bother to sort it all out and make another list)~

Very very incomplete list cause I've only added novels that I've read/am reading... Will update as i find new ones.

⚠️ be warned. Most of the MLs need therapy, of varying degrees, but unfortunately that's a non-existent concept in cultivation worlds.. So we've got a lotta Yanderes in here and all their associated red flags!⚠️ <<less

Otherwise why are you checking this list huh?  •ิ ֊ •ิ... more>>

Recommended raws: 

美人挑灯看剑 — It's chaotic lmao. MC transmigrated into a beautiful troublemaker who died 800 years later in his life but instead of trying to change it he's just like "why should I behave when I can live freely for 800 years?" 

And here's a few of my similar lists in case you're interested. 

But even if you aren't interested, I'm going to do my shameless self-promo anyways. Want to get rid of these ads? Buy spotify premium or maybe sacrifice that one annoying kid in your neighbourhood who always emits such inhuman noises while playing outside, making it impossible to discern whether it's his gleeful laughter from playing with his friends or anguished cries after witnessing Elmo devour his brother.

Ps: It's 3am. I had too much coffee. And this kind of situation always results in me cackling at the dumbest things possible, so please ignore it if any of my jokes here are weird. I'll either fix them and move on, or keep them and live with the shame.  <<less

(There's a second list out. Just add a 2 to the name of this list and you'll find it) ... more>>

These are some of the BL novels with seme protagonists that I've read and love. There are so few BL novels with a seme protagonist, which is sad. Well, I'll add the ones I've read so far and like or the ones I can somehow tolerate. And I'll add as I read I guess, so bear with me. Arigato

 P. S. Y'all can recommend similar novels too in the comment section (doesn't have to be a seme protag too, I'm open to new books, can't always find 'em myself) (^o^) <<less

A hundred Chinese BL novels involving xianxia, historical, wuxia, martial arts and, xuanhuan dedicated to you and me.... more>>

The novels in this recommendation list are with various kinds of protagonists and male leads, the protagonist can either be a gong or a shou, rags to riches kind of protagonist/ml, or strong to stronger kind of protagonist/ml but, there will be NO WORLD-HOPPING novels in this list. It's not that I dislike it, just, simply not my cup of tea.... yet.

As a sucker for cultivation novels, I felt creating this list as a must. This list include all the bl tag as Xianxia, Xuanhuan and Wuxia that I found here and picked my interest. Cultivation and martial arts, both present. ... more>>

I did not include those I've already read or I'm reading, though. So I listed some of them bellow for you in comments section 

There's a part 2! <<less

I'm actually keeping a list in my OneNote for a while and it's getting too long so I thought: WTH just share it at NU. I will mark if it's a #mix-genre(meaning it also has drama, mystery etc) or had #comedic undertone(not really comedy but is lighthearted/has funny characters). Basically my for-break read after washing tears from all those stressful crematorium heavy drama/dog blood novels.   -- - Takame... more>>

❗MOST(not all) of the stories here are for light reading and cannot be taken seriously (esp. parodies). 

⭐Comedy Gold - webnovel that especially made me laugh hard
Also Comedy does not make it automatically fluff but there are a lot of novels that put them together. For special kinds like Raunchy, Dark comedy or Parody I will mark those. If you are mostly a fluff reader, I suggest you skip them as they mostly employ mature humor that you might not find funny(maybe offensive even).
ps. I will post raw links on novels not updated for a long time if I have it. If you want to ask for another just PM me. 

pps: If you're actually looking for pure fluff, perhaps you might like the ones here better.

My ranking (mostly accurate; sometimes I judge by enjoyment and sometimes by the quality of story) ranking of some BL novels. This is NOT a... more>> list of all the BL novels I've read, but the ones I've enjoyed and may recommend!
 Characteristics I like are: complexity / fullness of characters, realistic progression of relationship, strong plot or world-building, happy endings. I also want to highlight some less well-known, and I've written comprehensive reviews for almost all the stories. Updated frequently. <<less
