(There's a second list out. Just add a 2 to the name of this list and you'll find it) ... more>>

These are some of the BL novels with seme protagonists that I've read and love. There are so few BL novels with a seme protagonist, which is sad. Well, I'll add the ones I've read so far and like or the ones I can somehow tolerate. And I'll add as I read I guess, so bear with me. Arigato

 P. S. Y'all can recommend similar novels too in the comment section (doesn't have to be a seme protag too, I'm open to new books, can't always find 'em myself) (^o^) <<less

It's always nice to take a break from heavier novels and read something fluffy and light-hearted.  Better yet if it's high quality fluff. So here ya go. This list is also a part of a series classified by genre (because I have too many novel to fit otherwise) ; other lists of this series include Thriller/Action, QT/Modern, and Ancient Setting novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. ... more>>

So what is my subjective version of a quality BL of this list?

-No/little plot holes 

-Not aggravatingly weak or s*upid MC

-In most cases, a respectful, long legged, hot asf ML

-Makes me smile and blush

-Don't have that many requirements for fluff....because well...it's fluff. It's not supposed to be deep. 

 ****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *."

PS. Novels I've read are the only ones rated according to number. The rest (unread) are just listed randomly. 

PSS. There are always exceptions on this list that don't fit the requirements (most likely the unread ones). But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone. 

PSSS. FME= novel has been added regardless of NU rating because it looks like it has potential or/and the reviews love it. <<less

Welcome stumbling passengers or veterans to the second installment of this list. 

Somethings I never had the chance to note because I (also) filled up the description boxes’ capacity limit in the first list. 

1. I have not read all the novels on this list YET. All read novels are on part 1 with the according reviews. I made this list so I could have something visual to look at when looking for good quality novels to read. I judge "good quality novels" by seeming reviews and ratings or perhaps the book has an interesting premise you don’t usually find.

2.  I look for a capable MC and a subjectively respectful ML, but that doesn’t necessarily mean every book I put here fits that requirement. Once again, there are always exceptions. 

3. I don't like looking at the rating of the novel when there are barely any reviews. Thus I look at the reviews. If the reviews (even scarce) like it, it has potential. Thus, FME indicates that a novel has been added regardless of NU rating. 

 ****The higher the expectations for BL novels I have not read, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *." <<less

This is a list just to compile everything I read cause you know, can't keep it forever in my phone. not meant to be organized... more>> just trying to get all the stuff in one place.  <<less

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.

Stuff I like that would be here: Comedy, e-sports, showbiz, interstellar, ABO, mpreg, childcare esp really cute children, historical stuff esp if there's power struggles, anything easy to read and has lots of fluff and cuteness

Stuff I'm not a fan of and won't find here: QT, harem, (heavy) angst, tragedy, unrequited love, shota, BE or SE <<less

Mostly comedy type stuffs

All the novels here have a top/seme/gong mc.

I just wanted to read a cute novel like Violant of the Silver, then got interested in reading other BL/danmeis. Here is my journey reading them! I bet my fujoshi friend of 14 years will be proud. This list is dedicated to her. Hopefully anyone checking out this list can find a novel that suits you. I don't actually love (but I at least mildly enjoy) every novel in this list so this will be my impressions on the novels I've read. Not all the stories I like are actually that good but they somehow still strike my heart!... more>>

Note: The order shows when I read them. The novels are not ranked! <<less

sharing is caring, so I hope you'll find something to cater your taste! :))

As it seems like there's a vast difference between eastern and western definition and importance of consent, and there's an incredible amount of in that regard questionable stories on this site, I made this list: BG and BL without consent issues. People tend to view things differently but I'm trying to be as clear and strict as possible here.... more>>

 Consent may not always be explicitly given. But there will be no instances of implied or explicit non consent. 

My memory isn't perfect but I'll make a note to what degree I'm sure about a novel qualifying (99% being max). If I put a novel in here that doesn't actually qualify, then I'm sorry about that and please correct me in the comments. 

For incomplete novels, I will also include the number of the chapter when I added it to the list, as I may not be able to guarantee it qualifying after that chapter.

I will alternate between BL (odd) and BG (even) for as long as possible. That means newly added novels might not show up at the end of the list.

If you'd like, feel free to give recommendations.

Almost qualifiers and demoted stories are in the comments. <<less

I've enjoyed (most of) what I've read thus far and perhaps you might like them too. Happy reading! ♡... more>>

Hope ya don't mind 'em comments. At first I was tryna be casual and keep it to a few sentences minimum but I got carried away. Now comments are ½ (serious) reviews and ½ me just trying to release some inner thoughts about what I read. I do my best to be not spoiler-y but well... 

☆ My favorites :3 Really good stuff. 5 stars!

••• Also good. About 4 stars~

× I'm not a fan of QTs, systems, BEs and SEs, and harems so this list doesn't have them much if that's your cup of tea.

((First of two lists)) <<less

BL novels of around 40 chapters, quick reads and short chapters as well as one shots. These reads are relatively short and can be finished in a few hours or maximum a day. ... more>>

Ratings rank between 1 and 5, with 5 being an absolute winner. 

Watch out for the SPOILER ALERT! To avoid reading any plot points.  <<less

Zero drama✓ Zero tragedy✓ Zero dog blood✓
Feel good BL, mostly danmei, and modern or future settings (I removed the historical ones because they're already in my historical danmei rec list). Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Plot has little angst, since I don't like novels full of misunderstandings and dog blood. There were too many titles to sort by personal preference so they're sorted in alphabetical order. I personally read each and every one; I didn't drop any of them.... more>>

I realized I left out a few good ones in this list so I created a part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87244/ <<less
