I don't like abusive, dog-blood drama, and weak characterization. I don't like Imbalanced Couple where the Seme/Gong is too Overbearing. I don't like weak, femininized, Uninteresting/Lackluster Uke, or bratty/silly Shou whose IQ drop drastically when encountering the Gong.  ... more>>

So these are a few novels with good plots, and mainly consist of interesting MC and good ML I strongly recommend. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NOVELS IN THIS LIST IS RANDOMLY LISTED WITHOUT FIXED RANKING, and also these are only novels that I HAVE READ. 
This list will randomly be updated if I find another worth noting novel. <<less

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

Hope this would be helpful for some of ya'll with the same taste. Enjoy!! <<less

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

Ranked by popularity on jjwxc

A compilation of Manhua from Kuaikan and Bilibili Comics (_ _).｡o○
This list isn’t created in any chronological order, I am merely adding the ones that came to mind _(:з」∠)_... more>>

Any new Manhua recommendations will be welcomed and greatly appreciated ^-^ <<less

No description.

This list contains a lot of spicy, thrilling and action-packed stories. Most characters are tough, bold and aggressive.... more>>

Enjoy your daily dose of manly, rough and furious men! <<less

This list contains worth noting BL novels that are recently complete in translation here in novelupdates. All novels are rated 4.0 and up and have an interesting premise so it should be quite decent enough to read.... more>>

Enjoy reading! <3 <<less

No description.

All of these are, IMO, must-reads. Hands-down some of the best novels here. I've also included my own personal ratings and opinions of each of these novels. Well-written stories, great plots, characters, etc. I have relatively high standards for these to be my favorites, so these are all really high quality. I can't recommend them enough! coincidentally, all of them also have very high ratings (4.3-4.8)... more>>

Actively being updated. I haven't finished writing reviews/ratings for all of them yet, but I will in time. Meant to be ordered by highest personal ratings -> lowest personal ratings, but haven't had time to fix it yet. These are also my own opinions and feelings regarding each novel, so they won't be particularly eloquent, and you can definitely disagree. It's just me rambling.

Also added some ones I haven't read but will read and I know i will love. Feel free to recommend any danmei too!

...somehow, this also turned into a list of danmei I also want to read, not just a review of the ones I've read. I really can't control myself from looking for good danmei. Though, I'm sure I'll get to reviewing all of these someday <<less

This list is based on the most popular novels in JJWXC, the Top Web Novel site in China for BL.... more>>

Intriguing Plot, Memorable Characters, Heart-Warming Relationships and Fantastic World Building.

Apparently, I have a thing for characters who are shameless and good at getting what they want. Especially gong who are pe*verted and enjoy teasing shou LOL. Got to admit, they make things hella entertaining ლ(⌒▽⌒ლ).... more>>

Rating is for novels I finished reading. Recommendations are appreciated! <<less

A compilation of BL novels with some thriller element. This includes but isn’t limited to: survival games, infinite flow (horror instances), movie-type horror shows, modern day crime mysteries, etc. ... more>>

I’m positive I won’t be able to fit them all in one place if I don’t pick and choose, so everything here either a) I’ve read and scored with flying colors myself or b) other people have read and scored with flying colors. 

These are ranked in no particular order other than when I remember to include them :-) <<less

Danmei adapted to manhuas that have official English translations (completed/ongoing/discontinued) + where to read them (status included: ongoing unless stated otherwise). Most manhuas are R15 even when the novel's genre is yaoi.... more>>

Novels/manhuas that are printed or announced to be printed are put on the first page of the list. Works written by the same author are put together. Novels are sorted by their popularity.

Since the list reached 1oo positions, I created its second part, however they will be _both_ updated if and when new titles appear or get licensed, with new title's place based on the novel's popularity and/or whether the author's other works are on the list already. If you know danmeis with official English translations of their manhua adaptations that are here on novelupdates but not yet on my list, please let me know in the comments.

Part 2 of this list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/74508/

Check out my other lists for Korean BL novels adapted to manhwas: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/74463/ and danmei being printed in English: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/73620/ <<less

part 2 - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/11571/?ft=yes <<less

If you want to read both novel and manhua or just the manhua. Will update bit by bit ʕﾉﾞ•̀ω•́ʔﾉﾞ... more>>

This isn't a super comprehensive list. Might as well use the tag or search for that. Just adding stuff that I've either read, am interested in reading someday, or have a slight impression on. 

Manhuas available on MangaDex are linked in the description. Won't link to pirate sites haha that's on you to find them if you really want to.

Please note that nothing in this list has already completed their comic counterparts. At least the EN versions haven't, idk about the raws. Can't binge read yet ;-; A lot of them are also still on the early stages of translation/adaptation so there's only a few chapters available so far. <<less

_(:3 」∠)_

Piling up the new fully translated danmei novels. Public rating above 4.1 To be read. ... more>>

I put my own rating on the story I've read. Don't misunderstand, my personal 'rating 3' means the story has average quality, not a bad rating. <<less

Chinese BL novels/manhuas  + some Korean manhwas/novels getting adapted to live action (that I've read/heard of/know of) in 2022 (and some are later)... more>>

Let's read them all before the adaptations are here~~~ 

(01/22 edit: ahaha it might be hard now cuz of that situation with the translators, but at least here's a list for (potential) adaptations) <<less
