I am so addicted to gong mc BL.... more>>

Check comments for mtls hehe <<less

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

[Keywords: Healing, Relaxing.] WHERE THE MENG/fluff IS THE FOCUS, not mere mentions! I created this list bcos I had enough being sad when the author conveniently forgets the baby (despite how it's advertised ;_; ). (PS: Check tags for BL, Het or Gen/non-romance stories)... more>>

mpreg=/=babies. NOT ALL MPREG HAVE HUGE FEATURE OF KIDS. Plus there are also people who avoid mpreg like a plague so I've put a tag. 

Meng is served in different kinds and I sorted them as: 

1.) Actual babies. Usually together with the tag #childcare. ✨️️️(human)bun ✴️child MC ⛳mpreg baby ⚙️️ virtual cub

2.) Transformed MC/ML. Usually the romantic partner has a cute form. ❣️️️️cub become lover(not real cub) , pet become lover ⚙️️ virtual lover

3.) Real, actual pet/animal raised by MC or ML ⛵beast companion(pokemon sorta) ♈real pet

Takame Bun dictionary:  

◼️ 'Meng' - cute ◼️ 'Meng-seller' - showing off cuteness ◼️  'Rua' - petting/cuddling  ◼️ 'Yaoijing' - animal spirit cultivator that gained human form ◼️ 'sh*t shovel officer / poop-scooper / cat-s*ave' - same meaning being too obsessed with pet you're willing to be a hooman laborer for free.  ◼️ BEAST CUBS: kids of beastmen that were born in baby animal form.  <<less

haven't read this all BUT this is basically my ongoing list so this is also for me as well HAHA ヾ(*'▽'*) these are very well-recommended... more>> to me so I wanna share these to you guys!!! (⌒ω⌒)ﾉ ps: i'm not really sure if this is ACTUALLY underrated but i just haven't seen that much people talk about this so here you go!!! | 4.5 stars and above and in NO particular order <<less

(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

Various BL novels that I've read so far and my opinions on them. I'll update this later, can't be bothered to remember and search for all the stuff I've read.  I've discovered that I love fluff and prefer healthy relationships so my comments reflect that but not all of the novels I like adhere to that and certainly not all the novels I've read.... more>>

It starts from the stuff I like (the order is based on themes, setting and genre not how much I like them), then goes into classics territory, then into "stuff that were kind of entertaining and okay but definitely not amazing" and then into "okay but kind of boring" and lastly into "I would rather have not wasted my time reading it but the ratings were good so some people may like it" (the ones here were either really bad or were good at first or in someway built expectation only to heavily disappoint). I've recently also added ones that were bad and had bad ratings which speaks for itself. Novels that aren't on NU but are interesting are in the comments.

I've removed most of the novels that were categorized as smut from this list but some of the yaoi (and also some of the shounen ai) stuff may still have some explicit scenes. 

Also, I really hate lecturing and virtue signaling in novels but I forgot to add comments for that and now I don't remember which ones were like that. If I remember I'll add that to my comments. <<less

Wuxia, xianhuan, xianxia has some of the best danmei. While it may be hard to grasp at first if you’re not familiar with the setting, I highly recommend you try it out! (This was me when i read victorian steampunk for the first time)... more>>

I’ve tried to include everything: Healthy, power couple; character development; intriguing plots.

Would appreciate recs as well!

—will update— <<less

These are the novels which has good plotline and smex scenes. I have included short novels as well if their is a considerable plot. (Some novels even after having just 10 chapters can have good plotline)... more>>

Degree varies; whether the scenes are detailed or not is mentioned

I personally prefer such novels where 'willing' physical intimacy is also shown. So descriptions are based on my likeness to the relationship.

Consent.is.Important. 

I have only included the ones I have read.

If you have novel recommendation(s) please comment.

(Updated: 11/23/23) BL novels make up a bottomless chasm that you can’t hope to get out of…... more>>

*No particular order; I don't like ranking*

**Part 2 of list is out**

My preferred taste is FLUFFY, but I also sport for the occasional angst & tearjerker novel. Modern stories are personally easier to digest. Historical or xianxia/cultivation stories are loaded with Chinese references & I can easily get lost. However, they can be very poetic & beautiful, which is why I bear the pain of treading carefully. Unlimited flow is a fun pastime at the cost of my brain cells.  <<less

where the mc / ml (or both) is the shizun...... more>>

(no specific order) <<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

My top picks for BL romance, with wonderful characters, some fluff or unconditional love. Beyond life and death. Just the most re-readable BL romance!... more>>

This is a list of BL novels that I have read. Making this list so that when I want to reread I will not have issues finding the novels.... more>>

 Sadly, I still can not remember the name of the novel I want to reread.
This list is finished. I will post the link for part two in the comments.  I have more novels to add but I need time to search up their specific name. Just remembered some and wanted to add them. I will be taking more time to explain each novel.

Anyways, Enjoy! <<less

A compilation of Chrysanthemum Garden BL novels I've read or am currently reading.

I-its not like I-I like tsunderes or anything! E-especially if they are guys. It's not cute at all! It's totally gross!!

All safe books (I'm a very sensitive reader lol). Dual virg*ns, first love! 
No themes like cheating, love triangles, weird creepy casanovas etc. (Some books MAY have some unsafe themes but not enough for me to quit reading so it shouldn't be too bad I guess? ill mention them if I remember)... more>>

If you have similar safe books, pleaseeee do recommend them down below!!

These are all the books I've read since May of 2021 ;] <<less

Master x Disciple / Elder disciple(shixiong) x Younger disciple(shidi)... more>>

I have a preference for MCs raising a bun thinking it's a white rabbit when it's actually a h**ny wolf-pup gong who just wanna push them down and "cultivate" feelings~ 

But this contain 4or5 older gongs/seme MCs too (mostly cause my lazyass can't bother to sort it all out and make another list)~

Very very incomplete list cause I've only added novels that I've read/am reading... Will update as i find new ones.

⚠️ be warned. Most of the MLs need therapy, of varying degrees, but unfortunately that's a non-existent concept in cultivation worlds.. So we've got a lotta Yanderes in here and all their associated red flags!⚠️ <<less

This is my favorite trope so this list is mainly for myself to keep track of the ones I've read with this trope or the... more>> ones I'm planning to read. This list will also include teacher/student or just those where the MC is some sort of guardian of the ML. There are some I've come across that I'm not really interested in so I'll omit those~ <<less

Shoes are nice and comfy! ☺️  ... more>>

4.3 or higher!

Some shoes are uncomfortable, so read the tags!!

Some have Plot+Smut, some only have smut.

I personally like Plot+Smut, so there’s more Plot+Smut. <<less
