all the novels that have a special place in my heart - in no particular order. Keep in mind that I am a very very... more>> picky reader but I often go back and reread these wayyy too many times to be healthy. These are all just gems and must-reads you have to know- there’s angst (hardcore and softcore along with stuff that made me ugly sob with hiccups), there’s downright fluff(some of them literally bleed fluff), there’s some that I read just for the plot( YES PLOT IS A TANGIBLE THING IN MOST OF THESE) and some that are just orgasmically dopamine filled. Disclaimer- like 4-5 of these are pretty hardcore so if you’re uncomfortable with yandere, dubcon, kinda~in*est, bd*m (READ THE TAGS ALWAYS) etc Just take it with a grain of salt but like it’s only a few out of this huge list. I hope you enjoy! <<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.

I've been reading chinese BL novels for more than 2 years now and this is the first time i'm creating a recommendation list lmao. I finally realised that with the amount of BL novels i've read if i don't make a list now i'll really end up forgetting about some of the absolute gems i've read here.... more>>

Anyways, here you go. Some of the high quality BL i've read. Most are completely translated and the ones that haven't been translated completely can be MTL'ed.

I will admit not all of these own me of course. I'm just making this to keep track of things I've read, I might've missed some, I'll add them as I remember or read further. <<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
