[1/6] a list of BL's I actually read at least 75% through + the on going ones that i really like! LOTS of BL!! this is from a series of recc lists (check out my BG recc list AND my other BL recc lists [GL coming soon !!!] !!!) that i'm making for my own reading log with hopes that other people might give them a try as well! ... more>>

currently organized in descending star rate order !!!

♡ tips for novel enjoyment (esp for newbies to the site ! ) ♡: 

♡ give each novel a fair chance even if the rating is low ! some people just rate 1 star for no reason (especially for BLs and GLs) without even reading it, which is highly unfair ! sometimes, you'll come across GOLD in the lower ratings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

♡ check the OG novel publishing date ! older novels generally tend to have more questionable morals than ones from ~2019+, and they tend to be really cliche BECAUSE they were likely the pioneers of the genre (i.e. QT, apocalypse, etc...) you don't have to read them, but just keep that in mind !

♡ don't like? don't read ! ... But PLEASE read the synopsis and a few reviews to make sure you know what you're getting into both plot-wise and content warning-wise ! I see some people start ranting after going into a silly sweet QT novel expecting 9000+ level IQ protagonists and plots and,, i'm sorry but you're not gonna see that. manage your expectations and i assure you, you'll have a nice time! <<less

My all-time favorites. Contains all kinds of genres, but most importantly: they're all yaoi!

I'm a simple person (anything I enjoyed, I'll give 4/5 stars at least regardless of plot holes, bad writing, etc.)... more>>

**Btw other reader is my fren (2nd opnion) 

***If I personally don't like something, then I won't rate it, especially if I can see the appeal for others. 

5 stars - GREAT, must read

4 stars - enjoyable, but some aspects leave me feeling iffy

3 stars - it was okay, good read to pass time

2 stars - didn't like

1 star - solid pass.  <<less

Basically a novel dump of all the BL I've read. All completely translated. Some have made me ship so hard, cry, laugh, break my heart, filled me with happiness, love life, hate life, thrown me in hornee jail !!! A variety of tropes as I usually enjoy a good mix. I hope this list will help those who are just stepping into the Boys Love world or are looking for new reads!... more>>

 It's a mix of historical, modern, futuristic, interstellar or even apocalyptic novels. My list recommends novels that are rich in romance with a good plot to follow up. Some have more serious plots while others are just there for a hearty laugh or cuteness overload. 

[ Relationships between MC n ML are healthy and equal {we don't stan toxicity under this roof!} ] -expect minimum misunderstandings.

look forward to QT, World hopping, Transmigration, Rebirth, second-chance even body swap... //0w0//

these novels definitely won't disappoint, only please remember to check tags (a must!) and even reviews from other readers...also if a novel is not to your taste please refrain from leaving low ratings *>-<

let's interact thru the comment section! you can suggest some of your fav BL's that are not on the list and ill gladly check them out! Follow my list to be updated every time I add novels to the list (usually a bunch at a time)

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

A collection of novels where the gays play games. A good chunk of these stories have the characters play in e-sports, but not all do. Some of our gay gamers are just casuals, while others don't even play video games but prefer the more traditional games. Any novels where the characters are in the game themselves (transmigration, reincarnation, survival games, etc.) are not included on this list (some exceptions!). ... more>>

Note! This list includes both BL and GL novels.

First list…

These are the BL novels I’ve chosen to read and complete and then personally rate between 1 and 5. 5 almost always being an absolute read again! (Order of books are from best to worst). I tried not to give away plot details (keep an eye out for the SPOILER ALERT! to avoid any plot points when reading reviews). My reviews are based on personal satisfaction and opinion, once completed.

This list contains a mixture of plots and character types in the BL genre.

Note: This list contains completed translations as I try to avoid reading ongoing translations as I lack the patience.  <<less
