The title says it all. BLs with a healthy power dynamic (mostly, since those are pretty rare), well-developed leads, great storylines, almost no unhealthy and unrealistic characterisations like yandere MLs or MCs with questionable IQs. Some exceptions are there, though; I've added the novels I liked despite them having somewhat yandere character(s).... more>>

I've added all the novels that checked off most of the boxes and noted everything I might have liked/disliked about those novels while reading. 

The rankings on each novel don't really matter (except for the ones at the beginning). Don't forget the ones at the bottom, although they're the ones I personally didn't like much! But you might!  <<less

some novels will contain r*pe, bd*m, non-con, or anything that may appear uncomfortable. you have been warned.... more>>

in no particular order <<less

Collating BL with smut rated 4 and above.  Either a great plot or great s*x!!

Most at least 6 years age gap

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.

[*This list already completed its 100 novel limit. Thus I have created a 2nd once for the same. If interested you can check that out  Gentleman/Considerate Boyfriend (BL) 2.0 https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46710/?ft=yes *]... more>>

The ML is gentleman and considerate; dots upon his partner; respects him & his decisions; supportive. They can be jealous, possessive or a bit rough in bed (consensual, obviously) but they contain all the above mentioned qualities as well.

I found many MLs who maybe doting but are kinda jerk to their partners or too much bully or tease. They are good in their own terms too but I still like the well behaved type. <<less

All types of questions BL novels I’ve read. Most of them I loved/really really liked, some were fine and some were meh. Just look through and find something to your liking. ... more>>

 (all with Happy End; I rate them 1-6) <<less

All novels with super heart warming fluffy romances. If you want a break from all the drama and angst I recommend these novels. ... more>>

I'm a huge fan of ML falling in love first/having unrequited feelings for protagonists and I LOVE first love romances so there are probably a lot of that in this list. 

(note: At first I wanted to rank my novels but then after about 20 novels I stopped trying to rank) <<less

I've been reading chinese BL novels for more than 2 years now and this is the first time i'm creating a recommendation list lmao. I finally realised that with the amount of BL novels i've read if i don't make a list now i'll really end up forgetting about some of the absolute gems i've read here.... more>>

Anyways, here you go. Some of the high quality BL i've read. Most are completely translated and the ones that haven't been translated completely can be MTL'ed.

I will admit not all of these own me of course. I'm just making this to keep track of things I've read, I might've missed some, I'll add them as I remember or read further. <<less
