(Actively updated.) When I first started reading on NU, I wished that there was a rec list with long descriptions of the novels so I knew what I'm getting myself into instead of having to check the synopsis of each individual novel. Couldn't find any, so I created one. Here it is. Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience.... more>>

Disclaimer; my "reviews" are my own personal, biased opinions. I'm terrible at being systematic & putting my thoughts into effective sentences, so 90% of the novel descriptions in here are just me rambling. I usually only drop & rate novels after I've read at least until c.35. Also, I like to change my ratings & reviews sporadically. Feel free to suggest more novels and/or argue with me.

[5/5] - Truck-kun would shed real man tears at these masterpieces.

Below [4.4/5] - Truck-kun would shed tears of a disappointed Asian parent.

[3/5] - Truck-kun would hit them (again), maybe then they'll transmigrate and become a better story. Replaceable at any time.

Some need to be in a jail-room, others need to be in a therapy room, and the MC needs to be in a courtroom to get a restraining order against them... Unless he's into it, in which case, who am I to complain? ... more>>

Edit: Woa, I never expected that many users to like obsessive MLs, feels great to see those with the same 'guilty pleasures' as mine (I don't feel guilty though, not because my taste is good but because I lack shame). We're out here bonding over unhinged guys lmao. Also, what's your ideal obsessive ML? I'm quite curious, so feel free to comment it below. 

Personally, I prefer MLs who are usually ruthless and somewhat cruel to everyone but the MC, whom they treat with utmost love, care and respect, of course they're still 'toxic' in a way they wouldn't leave the MC alone or ever separate from him, but to make him stay, they'd rather pamper him to the hell and back than use torture or abuse. A big plus if they're paired with sly and morally grey MCs.

Edit 2: if you see random words censored, it ain't me. NU just recently started doing that out of nowhere :/ <<less

The bl novels that have good stories *only from the novels I read before*

NOTE: Some comments do not reflect the complete novel. I will try to update them as I read.... more>>

List of BL novels with an obsessive/possessive/yandere male lead that I enjoyed.
Sorted roughly from most obsessive to least obsessive (I used to have a bias for QT novels, though). Favorite to least favorite where I couldn't decide. Numbers 60~75 are mostly just there to fill the lower ranks, and numbers 76~91 are novels that need more updates or that I'm planning to read. <<less

a list of crematorium/wife-chasing/gong regret/scum gong novels ft. some with misunderstandings! i wanted an angst tag but there isn't one ;; if you have any suggestions, i'd love to hear them in the comments! included are also some novels that aren't necessarily crematorium but may still make your heart hurt (in a good way) from the misunderstandings and relationships!... more>>

the wife-chasing novels follow a general pattern of: MC loves ML but ML treats MC badly and/or does not reciprocate > something happens to MC, such as death, amnesia, sickness, or he falls out of love with ML > ML belatedly realizes his feelings > ML tries to chase the MC and win him back

please do mind the tags of some of the novels, as some of them are BE! <<less

Here comes a longass list because I like harem. It's something I've seen many people dislike since they prefer 1-1 couples. However, I like it because even if I hate a ML or two, there's bound to be at least one other ML in the harem who might be likeable. So I'll rather see the MC get chased by the entire gay town™ than read about just one ML who could be insufferable.... more>>

For example, 'I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country' has a somewhat annoying ML but because it's not a harem, you're supposed to suffer through all the paragraphs brimming with his a$$holery, and can only root for him and the MC because no other guy can ever end up with the MC. 

On the other hand, 'The Cruel Tyrant' has a similar theme — a modern dude transmigrating and carrying the responsibility of restoring a kingdom on his shoulders, but it's a harem with different kind of MLs so even if you skip the parts of some MLs you dislike, there's still around 2-3 MLs left you can enjoy reading about. That's not to say I like every harem novel or dislike every non-harem novel though, it's just that I'll like anything as long as it won't have those insufferable characters I'm forced to sit and watch. <<less

What's better than a possessive ML?  A possessive, obsessive, thirsty gay ML!

CONTAINS SPOILERS! List of arcs and (maybe) summaries of BL QT arcs. Each arc is 1 paragraph/chunk. I'll **try** to make them as short and crispy as possible but I tend to get wordy with some details >w<")7 You can just treat this as an incomplete list of BL QT novels lol ... more>>

If there's any iconic/defining points in the arcs that you think should be mentioned, let me know in the comments/replies!

List will be slowly updated as I read *cough* and reread *cough* quick wear/quick transmigration/world hopping novels. Mostly for personal record because all the QTs have been mixing up real bad in my memory

Pairings are written as MC x ML, no matter if MC is gong or shou. FL = Female Lead of the plot, OP = Original Protagonist of the plot (will be used for male protagonists to avoid confusion between MC and ML) <<less

Novels that I've enjoyed. Some are fluffy, some are angsty, and some are just plain weird. I do apologize. The novels are not in a specified category (eg. World Hopping, Transmigration, Reincarnation, and etc.) Not in order, Will update when needed.... more>>

Hope you like them.  <<less

BL / BOY'S LOVE / MALE-MALE... more>>

QUICK TRANSMIGRATION / WORLD HOPPING / QT - the MC will  transmigrate to another world in a new body, doing missions and go to another world in another body after its done. And do the process again and again until the story is over. Mostly done with system AI's. <<less

hehe what it says in the title but going off what i can remember
THE OPPOSITE: you raised me and now you want to eat my tofu??? i’m not rlly into this bc of ~dynamics-! but i include it since i remember quite a few stories like that

if you have any recs pls let me know in the comments too! <<less

Exactly as the name entails, BL.... more>>

Consists of transmigration, reborn etc. If it's BL it's here.

Have to add that I have a preference for transmigration and usually avoid slowburn romance, so if you want a slow paced novel, it's not here sweetie

Ranking based on:

Plot- Whether plot makes sense, and foreshadowing is given closure. All around just entertaining, and doesn't feel like a chore to read.

Characters- If the characters are fu cking tr*sh, the novel is tr*sh, 'nough said.

Translation quality- Many idioms in chinese novels tend to fly over people's head. And if the translator doesn't have an apt website, I will also find it a hassle to read. <<less

Angst is mandatory... more>>

HE is required
