Waiting for the fruit to ripen…

(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

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

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

There was a period of time where I just CRAVE Interstellar Novels! I wanted anything and I hunted for eons. ... more>>

I feel the pain of scavenging bro, so I'm providing my own list of Novels that I have finished and think they're OK to help relieve some of the time of my fellow brothren. Though the numbers are small, it's still something. <<less

This is a list just to compile everything I read cause you know, can't keep it forever in my phone. not meant to be organized... more>> just trying to get all the stuff in one place.  <<less

Lots of QT novels !!!... more>>

there is no order .

All of the novels are 1V1 ( i think heehee)

This list kinda looks like my other QT novels list , but with more novels :P

i could accidentally add some infinite/unlimited flow novels sorry for that -_- ( its cuz i don't really know what exactly the difference is between the 2 genres- uhm- soRry-)

I could accidentally add some novels that do not follow the QT novel standards but do have world hopping

i don't think that i'll add any notes  but who knows.... ;)

haven't read all of them yet ! <<less

My storage list for QT novels because I'm losing track...... more>>

Not all of them adhere strictly to QT standards but all of them involve world-hopping in some sort of way

*By QT standards generally they involve perceived Actual World-Hopping rather than something like worlds in a game and sometimes (but not necessarily) a system

DA for Doesn't Adhere (depends on whether I've read it to know the plot), R for Read <<less

BL / BOY'S LOVE / MALE-MALE... more>>

QUICK TRANSMIGRATION / WORLD HOPPING / QT - the MC will  transmigrate to another world in a new body, doing missions and go to another world in another body after its done. And do the process again and again until the story is over. Mostly done with system AI's. <<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

Prt 4: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/73590/?ft=yes... more>>

High Quality BL (slightly more serious) reads set in modern/futuristic setting--or perhaps jumps between time through transmigration.  I try to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. 

Things to note if you all come at me:

1. I have not read all the novels on this list YET. All read novels are on part 1 with the according reviews. I made this list so I could have something visual to look at when looking for good quality novels to read. I judge "good quality novels" by seeming reviews and ratings or perhaps the book has an interesting premise you don’t usually find.

2.  I look for a capable MC and a subjectively respectful ML, but that doesn’t necessarily mean every book I put here fits that requirement. Once again, there are always exceptions (for example, a brat ML with character development). 

3. I don't like looking at the rating of the novel when there are barely any reviews. Thus, I look at the reviews (which have completed more than 1/2 of the novel). If the reviews (even scarce) like it, it has potential. Thus, FME indicates that a novel has been added regardless of NU rating.  

PS -->The higher the expectations for a novel, the higher the stars (purely subjective, don't take it too seriously). Hence, "***, **, *."

PSS --> Though not fluff, there will be some Feel Good (have more of a plot) novels here. <<less

All of my favorite danmei on a list, including Transmigration, Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuanhuan, Modern, Apocalypse, Infinite Flow, comedy, angst, Male yandere, etc etc anything you can think... more>> of really so take care... <<less

I'm quite picky now when it comes to reading bl novels given the novels that keep having greater quality the more I read to the... more>> point that others become subpar and I drop them or put them at the bottom of my continue to read list. Honestly speaking, I don't read novels with a rating of 3.9 and below. But still, here are some good novels I can recommend highly. <<less

Exam Time, Going Off for now. I'll update the list later if there are new novels by then with same genre.... more>>

In random order. Two Harem novel included.

1. Trying to make a complete list of novels, available on NU, related to apocalypse.

2. In QT novels - which arc has apocalypse plot mentioned.

3. √ - the novels I've read.

4. Complete + Ongoing + Hiatus (Mostly Ongoing)

5. The apocalypse chapters/arcs from world hopping novels (loading...) <<less

I would rate all of these books 5/5 (edit: ok maybe only 3/4 are actual favs) Only the first 16 are my top favs. The rest aren't in order (some are but I kinda gave up towards the end/second half). I welcome any other suggestions!... more>>

Other good reads but don't fit as one of my favourites - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/23179/?ft=yes <<less

Novels translated by Chrysanthemum Garden translation team. For novels I've read, I put on higher list and give a bit comment.
Their translation is good and the pace also great. And many enjoyable story there.... more>>

Due to the limitation of the list, I delete some novels which has rating less than 4.1

Due to the limitation of the list, I put the short stories on another list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/35706/

> Totally recommended: super duper good great story that you'll regret if not read it
> Recommended: a good story with good plot and has certain charm
> Average: not a bad story but has an average plot or some generic stuff but still good
> Not my cup of tea: I wont say it bad, but it's not my taste. Feel free to try to read it tho :) <<less

This is my list of BL novels that's worth giving a try.... more>>

/Mostly with OP MCs/

Novels described using words that would describe food. And yeah, actual food.

A compilation of transmigration or world hopping bl novels I've read or am reading.

I am making this list for ppl like me who wants to see some face slapping, counterattacks and badassery. I'll add in my reviews who's the Op one in the relationship(s).... more>>

Note: Btw the Mc/ML in some of the novels aren't necessarily gonna be Op in everything, some novels have a specific theme like gaming, so don't expect an Mc who plays online games to somehow be Op in kung fu lol. 

I'll add tags as more novels are added. <<less
