List of my Read and To-Read novels categorized roughly as Modern Day (minus school life, showbiz)... more>>

Rating on a "relative" scale of my personal enjoyment (Not Objective)

4: Favorite. 3: Liked. 2: Ok. 1: Meh. 0: Didn't like/Didn't finish. N/a: To Read <<less

ONLY based on my own preferences~~~~~

Both BL and BG (will say which it is) The novels that I actually read from beginning to finish and didn't end up skipping through. (I don't have much patience so if a story gets a little boring I'll start skipping through and then won't save it so these are the ones that I didn't end up skipping through) They are all HE because I can't deal with BE and for the most part their endings are satisfying with no super big loose ends that don't get tied up. ... more>>

The novels aren't in any particular order - (the beginning is just alphabetically backwards from the ones I've saved and then the later ones are just in order of when I read them)

I'm slowly going through the lists and adding my thoughts on the novels.... emphasis on slowwwllyyyy <<less

Are you a reader who's also obsessed with BL novels that has these tropes?? •MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE, ENEMIES TO LOVERS, STRAIGHT SEME/UKE TURNING GAY, WIFE-CHASING CREMATORIUMS, RIVALS TO LOVERS, SCHOOL LIFE, MPREG, SIBLINGS NOT RELATED BY BLOOD, IDOLS, OMEGAVERSE, GUIDEVERSE, SURVIVAL, TRANSMIGRATION, ZOMBIES, ESPORTS, SMUT, SECOND CHANCE. LOVERS REUNITED.... more>>

I do like to bawl my eyes out on some angst but ABSOLUTELY no-no to tragedy or bad endings, I read novels to escape reality and reading HAPPY ENDINGS is the only right way to do so.

CW: my comments aren't hundred percent accurate but I wasn't the type to point out shitty things frequently. Give me a HE and I'm all good. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌ <<less

Novels that I've read completed... more>>

Most of them are complete, excluded short novels

In Alphabet order: A-L <<less

Caution: Lots of dark themes so please be careful!!! Extremely mild spoilers as well!!!!!!!
Ranking is decided by how much I cried, not by how good it was because it'll be very hard to decide XD... more>>

The human emotions are depicted so well. They talk a little about the human mind and feelings. Brought me to tears, but they’re so beautiful. Some are lighter, some a little more heavy. The journey to a beautiful romance isn’t easy. Life is complex, and it is bitter and sweet. By the way... the ranking doesn’t really matter. 

I wanted to rank this according to how much I cried, but sorry it doesn't seem to be working XD No worries, it isn't like some sort of dog blood drama. It's just...tragic but with a happy end. It has a lot of sweet, fluffy and funny moments too!!!! in fact, only certain part hurts. Some doesn't hurt as well! In fact,  it was so beautiful and sweet I cried  <<less

I used to read western novels mostly but after the hype of Mo Dao Zu Shi, I got attracted to Chinese BL novels. And recently I have fallen into the BL hole. So, I continuously read Asian BL novels and what I have seen is that many of the BL stories have the following characteristics:... more>>

1. Stories are repetitive in nature with one main character completely obsessed with the other main character. Also, most of them focus mainly on the lead characters. Most of the time, side characters are just there to be the lead characters' lackeys or face-slap recipients.

2. Even the writing style and plot are copy-paste from some older novels of the same genre. 

3. R*pe is highly romanticized especially on Asian BL novels.

4. Toxic relationship is depicted as romantic . 

5. And lets not forget the segregation of 'top' and 'bottom'. 

6. 'Tops' are aloof, cold, otherworldly handsome, possessive and sex-driven.

7. 'Bottoms' are feminine, meek and cute.

Have I forgotten anything else? Feel free to remind me.

There are really only a few stories with proper world building, character development, healthy relationship, intricate and original plot, realistic characters, original writing style, etc.  These are what I personally think are the best Asian BL novels I have ever read: <<less

(just BL, again, I'm not ashamed)... more>>

Cute stuff, mood lifters :D <<less

Short novels with under 150 chapters. Mostly bl and romance, with real few that is not. Quality guaranteed, negative points can still be acceptable (actually, no but yes but you can handle it). Sad endings not included.... more>>
