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

(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.

("|| STATUS: [ ]" is my reading status as of typing the novel's description.) <<less

I am currently obsessed with long bl cultivation novels... If you have any other recommendations please mention..

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

(There's a second list out. Just add a 2 to the name of this list and you'll find it) ... more>>

These are some of the BL novels with seme protagonists that I've read and love. There are so few BL novels with a seme protagonist, which is sad. Well, I'll add the ones I've read so far and like or the ones I can somehow tolerate. And I'll add as I read I guess, so bear with me. Arigato

 P. S. Y'all can recommend similar novels too in the comment section (doesn't have to be a seme protag too, I'm open to new books, can't always find 'em myself) (^o^) <<less

I really LOVE this. Taboo. Sibling. Romantically involved. Yess!!!! I'm sick sorry not sorry lol! I finally get around creating list after so long. If you like it as well, please take a look at the list. It might suits your taste too.... more>>

It contains (unless revised): brother x sister, brother x brother, sister x sister ~ sibling only.

Category: in*est (blood-related), pseudo-in*est (not blood-related but few knew about it so the pairing assumes they are until revealed/remains ignorant of it yet still choose this route anyway), step-sibling romance (not blood-related, they know, are living together since they are family, and somehow catch feelings).

If you have any recommendations, feel free to drop comments. Mutuals will be appreciated!

P.S.: (1) please bear in mind that my remarks on each entry may not be spoiler-free since it serves as a reminder of what kind of story it is for me. (2) English is not my first language. (3) so far, I have yet to include GL. I still haven't found any to rec; I'm sorry to disappoint you if you are looking for it here. <<less

Books were in an order when i created this, not anymore since i don't care about some novels in this list that much anymore - > Added [NEW] to the ones I read recently

Books with 0 chapters = Check Chrysanthemum Garden  <<less

BL Cultivation... more>>

These heartless Shizuns! Oblivious to romantic feelings because they're too focused on cultivating! These evil and sinful disciples! Harboring unpure feelings towards their Shizuns!!! >A<

What the "smut" part means: If there is a "yes," that means there is at least one detailed/moderately described love scene.

Just a list because I need to get my sh*t together. Most importantly, I need to get my BL cultivation obsession sorted out.
Transmigration included, but no world hopping/quick transmigration. <<less

i need to clear my bookmarks... more>>

The usual recipe(variations may occur) for delicious dogblood plot is: Be a scum, Break a heart, Late realisation, Regrets, +/-Rebirth/Second chances, +++Chase wife to crematorium. 

Includes tragedies.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️: Som-*cough* Most of em contains 'Rape' and 'r*pe victim becomes lover' tags. And few include 'su*cide' tag so please read the tags before you proceed. <<less

bl stories i hated or dropped, mostly because they were too long for me or had unhealthy relationships. Or were just way too boring... more>>

i’ll only write ”dropped it” if i don’t even remember the story anymore <<less

✿ A refined collection of the most illustrious novels to date. Most, if not all, include a series of the precursor elements below:... more>>

- A primarily homos*xual theme. 

- Fully translated, or at least semi-translated. (MTL perhaps)

- Takes place in a xianxia, wuxia, or similar fantasy-esque settings. Historical and militaristic settings are quite abundant as well. Modern--maybe only a select few.

- Good relationships and even better drama. 

- The more dark, problematic themes, the better.

(I also want to make it clear that although I do rank the novels on this list based on how much I liked them, even if I give a book a low rating they still made it to this list so they're still worth reading! i have only come across ONE novel that was so unbearable to read that It couldn't even be listed here lol)

a WIP list. I will succumb to jjxwc sooner rather than later.  <<less

These are some of my favorites out of all I have read thus far that I would not mind reading again.  I will be adding more over time with the more I read.  If you have some to recommend I would love to hear it.  These are mostly in the order I have read them, not in order of favorites.... more>>

My tags may represent most but not all since each novel is different and I do not stick to any particular genre.  I actually wish I could add more tags to this instead of just 10.  So, I will use this to add more tags.

Some, not all, are:

Smut

Scum Gong

Thriller

Supernatural

Quick Transmigration

School Life

Slice of Life

Military

Royal Court

Horror
