Chinese BL novels/manhuas  + some Korean manhwas/novels getting adapted to live action (that I've read/heard of/know of) in 2022 (and some are later)... more>>

Let's read them all before the adaptations are here~~~ 

(01/22 edit: ahaha it might be hard now cuz of that situation with the translators, but at least here's a list for (potential) adaptations) <<less

This list has all the danmei novels I've read that I gave 4.5 to 5 stars. They are listed in order from highest to lowest.... more>>

Rating system: 1-10 score for each of these categories:

Character — hopefully self-explanatory

Plot — is the plot good and is it well paced?

Language — quality of the writing; may not be super relevant to you, since I'm reading in Chinese

Premise — if you sum it up in 2-3 sentences, does it sound interesting?

Logic — are things believable and consistent within the context of the story?

Interest — basically how willing I am to give up my sleeping time to read the book lol

Then I average all the scores and if it's 9+ it's 5 stars; if it's 8-9, it's 4.5 stars. 

Note: Reading these in Chinese, so I don't know anything about the translation quality or completion status of the translation. <<less

why do you even look for knife bro. treasure your life more. treasure your kokoro more. QAQ... more>>

Warning:
- I don't read BE (some might be BE-ish tho :haroldface:)
- I only add titles where I've experienced the knife, or know there would be knife for sure (ex: mudaoli's novel)
- degree of knife sharpness varies for each person. you might agree with this list, you might not. 
- I have low pain tolerance :haroldface: 

my scale of pain, ranged from 'not really hurts' to 'it haunts me every time I see kite': 
1-3: wooden rice spoon (getting hit by one hurts okay)
4-6: paper cut (hidden but suddenly you feel pain)
7-8: knife. be wary. 
9: you're almost ascending via 刀道
10: machete. you've already reached godhood of 刀道. congratulations.  <<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

pls slow down read one at a ti—nvm theyre reading 7 webnovels at once

Exactly what the title says, expect the unexpected and random.

I want to make new list for my farming money making transmigration novel, but I'm lazy and there are plenty of similar lists there. So yeah, just gonna put them here. Anyway, the MCs ahve the same characteristics as this list. ... more>>

Gong/seme MC : It feels refreshing to read gong/seme as the MC. The gong/seme will not be the usual cool, cold, quiet, dominant type, but talk active, loud, reckless, active and very very annoying LOL 

Strong Shou/ukeFor the Strong Shou/uke : strong independent shou/uke that can think and defend himself is interesting to read, even overshadow the gong is rare. Also, shou/uke that bypasses the stereotype characteristic will create something new to read.  <<less

Ordered by the most recent novels read first.... more>>

This list contains danmei I've read, or plan to read, which coincidentally also means that most of them are non-isekai, since I am really not a fan of this genre.

HOWEVER, I am making an exception for certain novels where the reincarnation plot, or the knowledge of the future, is an actual plot point and not just there for the sake of it.

Additionally I don't really read slice of life and school life. Just not my cup of tea. Sooooo... most of the novels listed here are historical, fantasy or sci-fi. Just a heads-up. <<less

Plot :) What's a story without it. Those ranked at the top are really solid, but do proceed with caution when reading those nearing the bottom of the list haha... more>>

This is the second series of thriller/mystery/action BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *."

FME means to ignore the rating NU has given the novel, because there aren’t enough ratings to even look at the rating as something reliable. Instead, I looked at the reviews and then decided to put the novel on this list. <<less

All the novels here have a top/seme/gong mc.

Danmei novels that are adapted to donghua or are going to be adapted to.
