The title says it all. BLs with a healthy power dynamic (mostly, since those are pretty rare), well-developed leads, great storylines, almost no unhealthy and unrealistic characterisations like yandere MLs or MCs with questionable IQs. Some exceptions are there, though; I've added the novels I liked despite them having somewhat yandere character(s).... more>>

I've added all the novels that checked off most of the boxes and noted everything I might have liked/disliked about those novels while reading. 

The rankings on each novel don't really matter (except for the ones at the beginning). Don't forget the ones at the bottom, although they're the ones I personally didn't like much! But you might!  <<less

What's better than a possessive ML?  A possessive, obsessive, thirsty gay ML!
Re: thirsty and protective tags - for novels I've read only. Please feel free to suggest more.... more>>

BG list of possessive MLs - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/7256/?ft=yes <<less

Transmigrations about Cultivation, farming and with cute little kids. Ger, Ge'er, Omega and etc. gender most of it. Male to male relationship and a doting ML to MC and vice versa.  At the bottom of this list I have put some "no transmigration, its more modern story" but still an Mpreg and there's also omegaverse and rebirth. ... more>>

-Just added new novels and there are modern day novels, ancient times, rebirths and world hopping or interstellar novels. Some of the novels where mpreg or omegaverse but the main protagonist doesn't have a child and or adopting kids. <<less

[Keywords: Healing, Relaxing.] WHERE THE MENG/fluff IS THE FOCUS, not mere mentions! I created this list bcos I had enough being sad when the author conveniently forgets the baby (despite how it's advertised ;_; ). (PS: Check tags for BL, Het or Gen/non-romance stories)... more>>

mpreg=/=babies. NOT ALL MPREG HAVE HUGE FEATURE OF KIDS. Plus there are also people who avoid mpreg like a plague so I've put a tag. 

Meng is served in different kinds and I sorted them as: 

1.) Actual babies. Usually together with the tag #childcare. ✨️️️(human)bun ✴️child MC ⛳mpreg baby ⚙️️ virtual cub

2.) Transformed MC/ML. Usually the romantic partner has a cute form. ❣️️️️cub become lover(not real cub) , pet become lover ⚙️️ virtual lover

3.) Real, actual pet/animal raised by MC or ML ⛵beast companion(pokemon sorta) ♈real pet

Takame Bun dictionary:  

◼️ 'Meng' - cute ◼️ 'Meng-seller' - showing off cuteness ◼️  'Rua' - petting/cuddling  ◼️ 'Yaoijing' - animal spirit cultivator that gained human form ◼️ 'sh*t shovel officer / poop-scooper / cat-s*ave' - same meaning being too obsessed with pet you're willing to be a hooman laborer for free.  ◼️ BEAST CUBS: kids of beastmen that were born in baby animal form.  <<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

Male Cinderella gets pampered!  Our checklist; huge social gap, huge disparity in wealth and power, domineering gong (usually. watch out for domineering rich shou!), most common occurrence that is FACESLAP. (w/c is my guilty pleasure). Usually the poor or ordinary lover has a sad background that deserves to make him happy and spoiled... more>>

 Our tags: #cinderella shou  #cinderella gong #CEO #male empress #boss x subordinate #poverty #rise to ashes #revenge 

This list has no update schedule. (Funny how I still ended up creating lists similar to my manga account LOL only this time it's webnovels)

mini(c-novel) glossary: 
▪ golden master - sugar daddy basically. 

▪ big tree - strong & capable one can rely on. Usually in the position of a protector. 

▪ golden thigh - The act of relying on the big guy. A mix of golden master and big tree

▪ pendant - commonly used together w/ golden thigh. Sort of like making oneself a little follower to gain benefits.

▪ black-bellied - Looks gentlemanly outside but ruthless deep inside. Has a wide spectrum. From mere Prankster to full-on Yandere. 

▪ crematorium - the painful process of chasing someone after loosing them. In bl, the shou is the "wife"

▪  HE/BE - Short for Happy Ending or Bad Ending <<less

[*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

Novels that are sugary sweet and intense with borderline obsessive, crazy characters. ... more>>

In no particular order <<less

Mostly BL, but I put the Non-BL or Non-Romance too if there's any. And YES there's few there! <<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

At least a 4.4 rating at the time of collation.  ... more>>
