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

↬You're tired of: Non-con | Major power imbalance | Romanticisation of toxic, manipulative, and controlling behaviour. 

↬And you want: Novels that put emphasis on consent | Mutual respect, trust, and understanding between the main cp | Forehead pecks | Character development | Couple growth | Misunderstandings that get resolved through proper communication. 

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please make sure to first check the tags on these novels before starting them though, as some of them talk about sensitive matters (Mistakenly Saving the Villain for example) 

Also, aside from Saye — which holds a special place in my heart, rest of the list isn't arranged by my personal preferences but rather the covers, as I like to keep my lists colour-coordinated. However, if you were to ask me, my favourite healthy relationships out of these would be — Saye, Mistakenly Saving the Villain, Restricted Area, Heaven Official’s Blessing, and To Rule in a Turbulent World.

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please let me know if there's more novels with healthy relationships or if I accidentally added a novel which doesn't have one ( ˊᵕˋ ; ) <<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

My comments and ratings on the BEST BL out there that I've read over the past 5 years.  Completed as of January 2024 and will start part 2 list soon. ... more>>

I have a soft spot for strong MCs, unusual relationship dynamics, plotty action, and a well-developed side character cast. I tend to prefer feel-good stories over dark, overly complex ones. These stories don't have everything I like, but they're all great for at least one aspect. 4/5 = like it, 5/5 = love it! MXTX novels not included because they are classics. 

Let me know what you think or if you have MTL recommendations! <<less
