[Actively being updated.] All of these are, IMO, must-reads. Hands-down some of the best novels here. I've also included my own personal ratings and opinions of each of these novels. Well-written stories, great plots, characters, etc. I have relatively high standards for these to be my favorites, so these are all really high quality. I can't recommend them enough! coincidentally, all of them also have very high ratings (4.3-4.8)... more>>

I haven't finished writing reviews/ratings for all of them yet, but I will in time. Meant to be ordered by highest personal ratings -> lowest personal ratings, but haven't had time to fix it yet. These are also my own opinions and feelings regarding each novel, so they won't be particularly eloquent, and you can definitely disagree. It's just me rambling.

Also added some ones I haven't read but will read and I know i will love. Feel free to recommend any danmei too!

...somehow, this also turned into a list of danmei I also want to read, not just a review of the ones I've read. I really can't control myself from looking for good danmei. Though, I'm sure I'll get to reviewing all of these someday <<less

MLs and Mcs are green flags. Neither will be abusive, manipulative, or overly controlling and misunderstandings will be toned down to comedic ones. I often... more>> see BLs where the MC doesn't treat the ML as well as the ML treats them, creating a hierarchy in the relationship that you can sense. If you are someone who likes to read plot-heavy stories that only show small snippets of BL, I don't think this list is for you. However, I will put in a few plot-heavy ones that has equally heavy BL.  All recommendations made here will be a HE (Happy Ending), angst will be close to zero, if not none. MCs will have character, i respect that some readers might like glass vase MCs that are there to highlight the male lead, but the list here will be mostly made of MCs who have a goal, character, and moral compass that they will stay true to throughout the story. Stories will be compiled from different eras, from ancient Chinese to medieval, to relatable modern, to interstellar. MCs will be pretty because I'm a face-con, following up on this, I might have one or two recommendations where the ML falls in love at first sight with MC. But you can rest assured that MC will not drag his ML around and lead him on endlessly. Translation standards are guaranteed.  <<less

Everything is carefully selected and is cream of the crop imo. it sticks even after you're done and doesn't blend into the many, many other... more>> danmei out there that rely on tropes to carry the story. Disclaimer: This list is made with my own tastes in mind, but if you like a healthy amount of angst, amazing characterisation and a gripping plot, this list is also for you. This also means that most are popular danmei and you probably won't find many hidden gems. I will include every single danmei that I believe is worth rereading (so that's kind of the standard for all the novels on this list).  <<less

Good BL with action, adventure, military, etc... when you're bored with plain romantic plots! Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Modern and future settings, mainly danmei... ... more>>

I tried my best to leave some trigger warnings on this list where I think some readers might find objectionable content (there seems to be more of that in dramatic and action oriented novels). I hope that people can take the genres labeled Adult and Mature as well as tags like R*pe, R*pist Becomes Lover, S*xual Abuse etc seriously. I think it's always a good idea for people to check tags and reviews of a novel before starting out, otherwise you can end up wasting time because halfway through (or even further on), you read something that is upsetting and then drop the novel. That's a habit I picked up after reading a ton of manga and webtoons. It's also very useful with novels! If you want to do that with Western novels, I would check out the website/app Goodreads (which also has Asian web novels, mangas and more listed there along with reader tags and reviews). <<less

Random BL novels that are pretty memorable

No description.

#Revenge  #FaceSlapping

BL (of all genres) that leave you with a paradoxical feeling of completeness and emptiness after finishing. Completeness because the plot, characters, romance, world-building, etc.... more>> are all so well fleshed out. Emptiness because you either want to stay a bit longer with the characters in their world, or rather, you know that the story has reached its satisfying ending, and that this is where the art should end. <3 The BL & danmei world is a treasure trove of all sorts. Let's enjoy~ other recs welcome! <<less
