Prt 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/37919/?st=1... more>>

High Quality BL (slightly more serious) reads set in modern/futuristic setting--or perhaps jumps between time through transmigration. This list is a part of a series classified by genre (because I have too many novel to fit otherwise) ; other lists of this series include Thriller/Action, Fluff, and Ancient Setting novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. 

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). If not capable, at least not s*upid. 

-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.

 ****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars (purely subjective, take it with a grain of salt). 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 (most likely the unread ones). But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone. 

PSSS. Though not fluff, there will be some Feel Good (have more of a plot) novels here. <<less

As it says on the tin.... more>>

My personal 'Best of BL'. It is in order. <<less

[Some of these I have not completed (or are ongoing) so the list is subject to CHANGE at ANY TIME]... more>>

Notes contain mini introductions of the MC (with information from the first few chapters) and what I like about them. I also add novels that have potential to be great reads with promising MCs. But if they repeatedly annoy me, they are off the list.

(Despite the continued list, I am still updating this rec list (as some are still ongoing, and some I have yet to add notes for). <<less

2023 updated list bio:

enjoy relatively balanced power dynamics between the two leads - especially in the more enemies to lovers novel e.g. ML insanely obsessive paired with a MC who knows his worth and will beat the sh*t out of ML if he tries anything weird

Enjoy! <<less

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.

✩ A list of horror bl novels at your service! ♡ ～('▽^人) ✩

Ranked by popularity on jjwxc

All kinds of UF in BL. They're just so perfect together, BL & UF. [in_love]... more>>

If you're new to Unlimited Flow (UF) or just getting to know it, here's a definition for you to clear up your confusions and misunderstandings about UF.

Unlimited Flow = A genre featuring horror, challenge, and survival games. A character summoned into unique spaces separate from the real world and have to complete tasks, generally stuff like puzzles, survival or horror games. The final purpose is to survive. 

(Definition not mine, credits to unlimitedflowdanmei.carrd.co)

Some of the novels listed in this recommendation list doesn't have UF tags, but I added them due to their horror, mystery, supernatural, and survival (game) tags. 

All of this have romance, depending on the novel, the romance may or may not be the main plot of the story. Though, romance is mostly a subplot and slow romance on UF.

I finished most of it but not all of them are completely translated in English.  I continued reading most of them in raws relying on mtl. You might see my reviews on some of the novels here, since I liked to write reviews most of the time.

They're not ranked from my favorite to least. They're ranked in alphabetical order. [ocd_alert!]

I'll continue adding novels every time a new one caught of my attention [domineering_president_posture], since I love this combi. 

Thank you! I hope my list helps you! [wink] Love you all.

(P.S. There's a part 2 for this list.) <<less

fake, arranged, flash, forced, contract marriage. Marriage of Convenience, cohabitation, anything forced, etc I'm interested in or like

No description.

I want to make new list for my farming money making transmigration novel, but I'm lazy and there are plenty of similar lists there. So yeah, just gonna put them here. Anyway, the MCs ahve the same characteristics as this list. ... more>>

Gong/seme MC : It feels refreshing to read gong/seme as the MC. The gong/seme will not be the usual cool, cold, quiet, dominant type, but talk active, loud, reckless, active and very very annoying LOL 

Strong Shou/ukeFor the Strong Shou/uke : strong independent shou/uke that can think and defend himself is interesting to read, even overshadow the gong is rare. Also, shou/uke that bypasses the stereotype characteristic will create something new to read.  <<less

Everything I have read, I added to this list. BG? BL? No Romance? It's all here.... more>>

[*This list already completed its 100 novel limit. Thus I have created a 2nd once for the same. If interested you can check that out  Gentleman/Considerate Boyfriend (BL) 2.0 https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46710/?ft=yes *]... more>>

The ML is gentleman and considerate; dots upon his partner; respects him & his decisions; supportive. They can be jealous, possessive or a bit rough in bed (consensual, obviously) but they contain all the above mentioned qualities as well.

I found many MLs who maybe doting but are kinda jerk to their partners or too much bully or tease. They are good in their own terms too but I still like the well behaved type. <<less

✩ Ranked by ratings, then by the number of readers. ✩

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
