Note: I also added Stories not available in NU on the comment section below :) they are easy to read.  <<less

These novels are ranked according to the amount of readers they have. If you're suprised by the ranking, then trust me, I'm also suprised to begin with lmao. I thought some novels, such as 2ha and Silent Reading (because I hear about them EVERYWHERE), would rank a bit higher but the number of readers said otherwise. ... more>>

Not sure about Silent Reading, but in 2ha's case I believe it could be because, compared to other higher-ranked novels (like The Legendary Master's Wife, Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil etc etc), it's pretty new and once its popularity sky-rocketed, it got published with eng translations and the fan translation was removed, so about 40% of readers of this novel probably bought the novel instead of reading it on NU — which is why they didn't add it to their reading list and those readers weren't counted.  <<less

These novels are those that I deemed worthy of being called one of the High/Top Tier BL novels out here. ... more>>

There are also novels here that aren't BL but I still included them (in the list and in the comment box) to bring such masterpieces to your attention.

Also, those with a ⭐ are the ones that occupy a space in my heart! They are very special to me and I will read them over and over again!

10/08/2023. I will arrange my lists in the future! So excited!

01/29/2024. Making a second shelf! Link: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/85506/?ft=yes <<less

Just a quick overview of (trigger) warnings for the novels I read/dropped.... more>>

Includes all forms of abuse, unhealthy relationships in general, questionable content, and horror elements.

(Only novels that aren't tagged properly will go on this list, always read the tags, stay safe while reading!) <<less

They're apparently so bad, they're good. Also considered "classics".

Any novels with dead links or that are not finished were mtl .

A list with some of the best BL novels you'll find out here on NU.... more>>

 It's a mix of historical, modern, futuristic, interstellar or even apocalyptic novels. My list recommends novels that are rich in romance with a good plot to follow up. Some have more serious plots while others are just there for a hearty laugh or cuteness overload. 

[ Relationships between MC n ML are healthy and equal {we don't stan toxicity under this roof!} ] -expect minimum misunderstandings.

look forward to QT, World hopping, Transmigration, Rebirth, second-chance even body swap... //0w0//

these novels definitely won't disappoint, only please remember to check tags (a must!) and even reviews from other readers...also if a novel is not to your taste please refrain from leaving low ratings *>-<

let's interact thru the comment section! you can suggest some of your fav BL's that are not on the list and ill gladly check them out! Follow my list to be updated every time I add novels to the list (usually a bunch at a time) 

Thankyou! <<less

Tried to find some top rated BL to read after LMW, but novels were all over the place, so here goes my attempt at collating them into one list.... more>>

Lowest rating will be 4.4 at that time of collation. Won't be ranked from highest to lowest. I will add novels as I find them.

Origin: No comment - haven't read it yet.    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - read it.     ✔️ - liked.    ✔️✔️ - super liked.   ✔️✔️✔️ - in love.

Part 2 - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/18634/ <<less

Its not a perfect list with particular bl story or particular genre, it's just the best I have read in the past few months. I... more>> don't have a peculiar taste in novels as long as it has a decent story, and a bl I could read it. So the following stories vary in genre from fluff to angst, historical to interstellar, sci-fi to fantasy, slice of life to action, comedy to horror, thriller.  <<less

Note: All novels are rated above 4* and you can be rest assured to find some hidden gems here >o^... more>>

Okay, let's be realistic everyone~ ^v^ Human beings are not of the same mold, shape or size hence everyone's bound to have different preferences in some kind of form. Therefore, here I dutifully present to you my collection of novels that have had made the most impression on me and I can only hope that you may find THE ONE from this list.

PS. I personally love good quality reads that has a decent plot line and good character developments, as well as great translation work lest I have to destroy my brain cells haha Xd <<less

Various BL novels that I've read so far and my opinions on them. I'll update this later, can't be bothered to remember and search for all the stuff I've read.  I've discovered that I love fluff and prefer healthy relationships so my comments reflect that but not all of the novels I like adhere to that and certainly not all the novels I've read.... more>>

It starts from the stuff I like (the order is based on themes, setting and genre not how much I like them), then goes into classics territory, then into "stuff that were kind of entertaining and okay but definitely not amazing" and then into "okay but kind of boring" and lastly into "I would rather have not wasted my time reading it but the ratings were good so some people may like it" (the ones here were either really bad or were good at first or in someway built expectation only to heavily disappoint). I've recently also added ones that were bad and had bad ratings which speaks for itself. Novels that aren't on NU but are interesting are in the comments.

I've removed most of the novels that were categorized as smut from this list but some of the yaoi (and also some of the shounen ai) stuff may still have some explicit scenes. 

Also, I really hate lecturing and virtue signaling in novels but I forgot to add comments for that and now I don't remember which ones were like that. If I remember I'll add that to my comments. <<less

Lighthearted, no angst, cute, romantic, warm and sweet. I re-read those often. Only completed novels listed. Some do have a little angst, but it is never between the couple, mostly drama from their past or outsiders who bring them trouble.... more>>

Those novels are well-written, with coherent story, coherent protagonists, coherent fantasy/modern world-building. Coherence and consistency in both plot and character behaviour are really important for me. I am not looking for realism. I am looking for cohesion and escapism. I don't mind characters who are OP, filthy rich, tsunderes, yanderes, geniuses, black-belly, child-like adults, evil demons, amoral characters, shota, obssessive, possessive etc.. i don't mind excessive characters because that's exactly what i like. I like that in Asian lit, those marginal characters are heroes and not defined by standardised morality. In Western lit, i don't meet many characters like that, and i have 45yrs of reading western literature. The only character set i avoid are indecisive protags who have no self-knowledge and keep self-analysing which i find quite boring. IRL, i also avoid such people lol... <<less

Novels with high-quality translations and plots that give a satisfactory face slap (the list is not in any particular order)... more>>

- Predominantly BL (with Happy Endings)

- Any non-BL that I find interesting 

- Binge-worthy  <<less

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

Our motto here is "scare the ghosts and troll the folks." ... more>>

Yaoi/Shounen-ai novels within the horror genre but with comedic spice. Works well to acclimating yourself in reading horror during night/dawn when the mc's and ml's help you go through with it lmao. Really changed my outlook on the whole horror genre. <<less

My all time favorite bl novels that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone! It’s a list with small self written synopses (UPDATE NOW IM LAZY LOL ILL COME BACK AND WRITE MORE IN DEPTH LATER) and my VERY LENGTHY opinions/me trying to convince you to read the novels lol. This list includes both modern and historical novels! Remember to come back and thank me later once you’ve finished reading any of them cause I have faith in how good my recommendations are LMAO ;)... more>>

Other notes:
- novels that are sorted higher = I liked them more 
- I’ll continue adding any novels that I like 
-Some of the ongoing novels I mtled  
-might be grammar mistakes in my descriptions cause I’m too lazy to proofread oops

-my descriptions might contain  small or “slight spoilers” that are revealed very early in the book  <<less

These are the stories which I've read and loved. The plots and characters are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!... more>>

It's a mix of BL and BG
There is no particular order for my list. Everything is so good!!!  Check them all out as I keep adding the stories to the later pages

I'm always open for recommendations.

Enjoy! <<less

A list for stories with minimum conflict and a lot of fluff and healing with cute children and/or animals. No harems. Contains some BL. ... more>>

*Constantly updated. Suggestions are welcome!

**Not in particular order

Fluff level (10= all fluff, no plot; 5=occasional fluff, a lot of plot; to 1=all plot, no fluff) <<less

Books I managed to complete and enjoyed despite the odds (my adhd) stacked against me (lazy).... more>>

PRO-TIP: If you really enjoyed a book, check out the authors!! There's a chance that you'll enjoy other books from the same creator :>
Feel free to comment because it validates me <3

ALSO!! I'm asking for recommendations in the comments for stuff I want to find in other books so if you could help me out too then that would be awesome! Happy readings :D <<less

Ml is husband material type. 100%perfect... more>>

Ml is virg*n,rich,wife s*ave,only see wife,intelligent,good at everything,no toxic❤️❤️❤️❤️ <<less

These are the novels which has good plotline and smex scenes. I have included short novels as well if their is a considerable plot. (Some novels even after having just 10 chapters can have good plotline)... more>>

Degree varies; whether the scenes are detailed or not is mentioned

I personally prefer such novels where 'willing' physical intimacy is also shown. So descriptions are based on my likeness to the relationship.

Consent.is.Important. 

I have only included the ones I have read.

If you have novel recommendation(s) please comment.

(Updated: 11/23/23) BL novels make up a bottomless chasm that you can’t hope to get out of…... more>>

*No particular order; I don't like ranking*

**Part 2 of list is out**

My preferred taste is FLUFFY, but I also sport for the occasional angst & tearjerker novel. Modern stories are personally easier to digest. Historical or xianxia/cultivation stories are loaded with Chinese references & I can easily get lost. However, they can be very poetic & beautiful, which is why I bear the pain of treading carefully. Unlimited flow is a fun pastime at the cost of my brain cells.  <<less

Listed are my favorite stories that are really good and makes me want to reread again. All are HE since I love HEs, and are highly recommended. Also added my comments and (attempted) reviews.... more>>

Hope you can also recommend interesting novels to me. Thanks. <<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.
