Major hurt/comfort simp. ... more>>

Been hurting all my life with no one to comfort me so reading a hurt/sickly MC being worried/doted/cared for/loved on really soothes my soul or something twisted like that. I'm trying to find meaning behind all the suffering. Hmnn yeah that sounds about right, I wanna read meaningful suffering.

SSSSE (Self Sacrifice= sacrificing themselves for others/a greater good) (Self Suffering= is hurting/carrying burden/enduring hardship on their own) (Exposed= other people find out leading in increased positive action/attention towards them and or it affects other people in some way so there is meaning to the suffering)

Absolutely love the vomiting blood and everybody worries trope. MC in pain? It's okay baby it's all worth it there will be people that will take care of you or make up for it. Fluff stuff. Spurting blood is fun and all but psychological hurt also rubs me right, stuff like taking blame then the other party regretting and making up for it? Angst stuff. Mmm working too hard or getting hurt in place of others is also nice.

Romance. No romance. Straight. BL. Some I read using mtl.

tl;dr I just wanna talk about the novels I've read but highlight the heart abuse scenes :)

comment your thoughts and/or suggestions~

update: I'm back and ready to update the list! harem bl seems to have gotten more common/popular in general, wow! <<less

To satisfy my vanity and yours of multiple people liking the same person. Whether it is intentional are not, I present to you a list of harem BL novels!... more>>

Get ready for a vinegar bloodbath~ <<less

NOTE: Some comments do not reflect the complete novel. I will try to update them as I read.... more>>

List of BL novels with an obsessive/possessive/yandere male lead that I enjoyed.
Sorted roughly from most obsessive to least obsessive (I used to have a bias for QT novels, though). Favorite to least favorite where I couldn't decide. Numbers 60~75 are mostly just there to fill the lower ranks, and numbers 76~91 are novels that need more updates or that I'm planning to read. <<less

Some need to be in a jail-room, others need to be in a therapy room, and the MC needs to be in a courtroom to get a restraining order against them... Unless he's into it, in which case, who am I to complain? ... more>>

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Edit: Woa, I never expected that many users to like obsessive MLs, feels great to see those with the same 'guilty pleasures' as mine (I don't feel guilty though, not because my taste is good but because I lack shame). We're out here bonding over unhinged guys lmao. Also, what's your ideal obsessive ML? I'm quite curious, so feel free to comment it below. 

Personally, I prefer MLs who are usually ruthless and somewhat cruel to everyone but the MC, whom they treat with utmost love, care and respect, of course they're still 'toxic' in a way they wouldn't leave the MC alone or ever separate from him, but to make him stay, they'd rather pamper him to the hell and back than use torture or abuse. A big plus if they're paired with sly and morally grey MCs.

Edit 2: if you see random words censored, it ain't me. NU just recently started doing that out of nowhere :/ <<less

Here comes a longass list because I like harem. It's something I've seen many people dislike since they prefer 1-1 couples. However, I like it because even if I hate a ML or two, there's bound to be at least one other ML in the harem who might be likeable. So I'll rather see the MC get chased by the entire gay town™ than read about just one ML who could be insufferable.... more>>

For example, 'I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country' has a somewhat annoying ML but because it's not a harem, you're supposed to suffer through all the paragraphs brimming with his a$$holery, and can only root for him and the MC because no other guy can ever end up with the MC. 

On the other hand, 'The Cruel Tyrant' has a similar theme — a modern dude transmigrating and carrying the responsibility of restoring a kingdom on his shoulders, but it's a harem with different kind of MLs so even if you skip the parts of some MLs you dislike, there's still around 2-3 MLs left you can enjoy reading about. That's not to say I like every harem novel or dislike every non-harem novel though, it's just that I'll like anything as long as it won't have those insufferable characters I'm forced to sit and watch. <<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

1. A male character... more>>

2. Transmigrated into a novel/video games/whatever

 What I want to list is just how an arc end with BE (Bad End) in BL QT novels. I do not promise if at the end of the novel it will be BE or HE.... more>>

This list has no particular order. Due to the fact that I love BE and a sucker at it when I read QT, I made this list. I enjoyed BE ending arc a lot because they gave me feels sometimes. But, that is to say not that I do not like HE but sometimes BE slaps me with reality, it seems. <<less

This is for my own reading list. I include both straight and BL reverse harem... A male harem.. Don't judge me. I love it when a group of dudes fawning over the MC XD... more>>

The endings can be a harem or 1v1. 

I haven't managed to read most of of the novels so I just add them to my list based on recommendations. Do let me know if I added wrongly. Cheers  <<less
