- I have no time

- personal preferences (too much angst, etc.)

Each BL has personal notes about its content and qualities according to reviews (ie. lots of angst, good plot, presence of female characters, heavy read, light read, etc.) <<less

Just my personal favorites.

Quality BL romance stories with some dramatic plots involved (not action or adventure oriented, those titles I saved in the Action BL rec list I made). Be prepared with Kleenex! (╥﹏╥) ... more>>

Some of these I read several times because even though I don't like tragic plots, sometimes I like a story with heartbreak... I removed the action and adventure titles and put them in my Action BL rec list instead.

Modern settings only. Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Too many titles to sort in order of personal preference, so I sorted them alphabetically.

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

I love all of these novels and I hope many other people also would. Some are well known, some less, but all have their charm. There is a variety of genres so I have noted the main theme/trope since different people like different kinds. Some of these I have already read several times and some I might have not finished yet so I'll just put a note their entry is tentative if I am not sure.... more>>

I generally prefer healthier relationship so if you are a dogblood lover you might not find yourself in these. But I also can't guarantee all the ones here are healthy either...

Of course, as with any lists... it is subjective opinion. You don't have to like what others do. But if you find at least one you want to pick up, I'm glad to have helped. I'll keep this updated as I read more.
