I don't like abusive, dog-blood drama, and weak characterization. I don't like Imbalanced Couple where the Seme/Gong is too Overbearing. I don't like weak, femininized, Uninteresting/Lackluster Uke, or bratty/silly Shou whose IQ drop drastically when encountering the Gong.  ... more>>

So these are a few novels with good plots, and mainly consist of interesting MC and good ML I strongly recommend. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NOVELS IN THIS LIST IS RANDOMLY LISTED WITHOUT FIXED RANKING, and also these are only novels that I HAVE READ. 
This list will randomly be updated if I find another worth noting novel. <<less

UPDATE: There is a new livestreaming tag now! https://www.novelupdates.com/stag/livestreaming/... more>>

I am adding this tag to all of the novels on my lists instead but you can add the tag if I missed it and/or you find a new novel with it!

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

I am so tired of the "I'm not gay/not willing, but it felt so good last night, and he will kill anyone else I might fall in love with, so maybe I don't really mind that much, but I will keep running away because I think I'm addicted to being forced down" protagonists! So I'm creating a list that is completely opposite.... more>>

The most important criterion for choosing the novels is how honest and genuine the protagonists are to each other. There is no particular order, new additions are at the top of the list.

Comment to recommend novels. I am still updating the list, but rarely because I'm picky. <<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

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

basically e-sports / game related bl novels i've read + some personal opinion about the novel, biased, so don't take it seriously. your taste and... more>> mine might be completely different <<less

all the novels that have a special place in my heart - in no particular order. Keep in mind that I am a very very... more>> picky reader but I often go back and reread these wayyy too many times to be healthy. These are all just gems and must-reads you have to know- there’s angst (hardcore and softcore along with stuff that made me ugly sob with hiccups), there’s downright fluff(some of them literally bleed fluff), there’s some that I read just for the plot( YES PLOT IS A TANGIBLE THING IN MOST OF THESE) and some that are just orgasmically dopamine filled. Disclaimer- like 4-5 of these are pretty hardcore so if you’re uncomfortable with yandere, dubcon, kinda~in*est, bd*m (READ THE TAGS ALWAYS) etc Just take it with a grain of salt but like it’s only a few out of this huge list. I hope you enjoy! <<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

I read everything with good plot. I've basically read every good yaoi manga out there. So I'm expanding to danmei. Lol... more>>

But no tragedy cause I hate it. And no ongoing story cause I hate waiting, I love to spoil myself of BE or HE. FYI I love HE and hates BE.

The type of story I like are : slice of life, underdog to riches, fluffy, funny, transmigration, romantic, etc. I also love papapa so every BL I've found has more or less papapa.

I create this list to commemorate every amazing danmei/BL novel I've found. Hopefully someone will notice my taste and give me suggestion of what to read next. (◕ᴗ◕) <<less

It's always nice to take a break from heavier novels and read something fluffy and light-hearted.  Better yet if it's high quality fluff. So here ya go. This list is also 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, QT/Modern, and Ancient Setting novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. ... more>>

So what is my subjective version of a quality BL of this list?

-No/little plot holes 

-Not aggravatingly weak or s*upid MC

-In most cases, a respectful, long legged, hot asf ML

-Makes me smile and blush

-Don't have that many requirements for fluff....because well...it's fluff. It's not supposed to be deep. 

 ****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. 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. FME= novel has been added regardless of NU rating because it looks like it has potential or/and the reviews love it. <<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

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

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

I would sell my soul to read these again the first time, they're all absolutely top tier. The first time readers should cherish their first read. The genres are mixed though, there's unlimited flow, xianxia, historical, etc. The novels I added here are 9-10/10 ... more>>

Orders of stories are random. <<less

I'm a very picky reader. If the novel's translation is hard for me to understand, if the plot stagnates or if the relationship between main leads seems abusive/unhealthy - I drop right where I am and never come back.... more>>

It's in order.  <<less

- Gaymers.
