It is, unfortunately, very complicated.

- I have no time

- personal preferences (too much angst, etc.)

Each BL has personal notes about its content and qualities according to reviews (ie. lots of angst, good plot, presence of female characters, heavy read, light read, etc.) <<less

Many of the BLs that we have read had been adapted into dramas so I'm making this thread for people who wants to watch live dramas after reading novels but most of the novels here either stopped airing or will air in the next two years because of ban so we have to wait but u can watch the dramas that completely aired in the meanwhile. ... more>>

Everything is carefully selected and is cream of the crop imo. it sticks even after you're done and doesn't blend into the many, many other... more>> danmei out there that rely on tropes to carry the story. Disclaimer: This list is made with my own tastes in mind, but if you like a healthy amount of angst, amazing characterisation and a gripping plot, this list is also for you. This also means that most are popular danmei and you probably won't find many hidden gems. I will include every single danmei that I believe is worth rereading (so that's kind of the standard for all the novels on this list).  <<less

Good BL with action, adventure, military, etc... when you're bored with plain romantic plots! Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Modern and future settings, mainly danmei... ... more>>

I tried my best to leave some trigger warnings on this list where I think some readers might find objectionable content (there seems to be more of that in dramatic and action oriented novels). I hope that people can take the genres labeled Adult and Mature as well as tags like R*pe, R*pist Becomes Lover, S*xual Abuse etc seriously. I think it's always a good idea for people to check tags and reviews of a novel before starting out, otherwise you can end up wasting time because halfway through (or even further on), you read something that is upsetting and then drop the novel. That's a habit I picked up after reading a ton of manga and webtoons. It's also very useful with novels! If you want to do that with Western novels, I would check out the website/app Goodreads (which also has Asian web novels, mangas and more listed there along with reader tags and reviews). <<less

Self explanatory. For danmei in a modern or just anything that's not historical setting.

BxB romance that I loveeeee

BL (of all genres) that leave you with a paradoxical feeling of completeness and emptiness after finishing. Completeness because the plot, characters, romance, world-building, etc.... more>> are all so well fleshed out. Emptiness because you either want to stay a bit longer with the characters in their world, or rather, you know that the story has reached its satisfying ending, and that this is where the art should end. <3 The BL & danmei world is a treasure trove of all sorts. Let's enjoy~ other recs welcome! <<less
