Prt 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/54466/?ft=yes... more>>

These BL's have left lasting impressions on me in the past years. This list includes the thriller/action/horror/mystery/crime genre. This list is a part of a series classified by genre ; other lists of this series include Ancient Setting novels and  Modern/Futuristic/Transmigration novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. 

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

-No/little plot holes & well developed plot/mystery

-Actually thrilling

-Capable MC and ML  (not aggravatingly s*upid and know when to respect each other but also put their foot down at the right moments). . 

-Lasting impression. I made this list by memory so if it's not on here...Chances are it's not worth remembering for the list. 

-Good development of all characters--including side characters--as long as the main focus is the main couple.

-Make me cry, laugh, yell or gasp. Perhaps all at the same  time. 

*****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. But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone.  <<less

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

I haven't seen a  BL list containing a seme protag so here ya go! these are some I really liked and I wanted to share so <3... more>>

Created; Mar 21st 2021 <<less

This is put together from what I thought was interesting, screened, and planning to read. (つ✧ᆺ✧)っ 

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

Since I did a list of fluff, here's the other end of the spectrum. The dog's blood you need for days when drowning in tears... more>> is needed. Some lighter, some really heavy. All stories complete. <<less

The fourth installment of my BL journey (the other three lists got filled up), and I'm slowly getting burned out on BL novels. However, I... more>> never know when I'll find a hidden gem so that's what this list is for. <<less

Therapy costs more than these novels.... more>>

**A better name for this list would be Tragic Romance Novels (18+) but I wanted to emphasize on the process of grief I regularly experience while reading this stuff. 

-----------------------------------------------

I'll still be implementing a rating system from **1-5 with 1 being just sad at some parts to 5 being downright horrific**

**In addition, rather than the summaries I put short explanations for the rating. In all honesty, it's better for you to ignore them. Protect your mental well-being from my inane babbling and mild spoilers. <<less

By "good romantic story", at minimum: no bs that isn't justified or explained, or is overly done; romance is not offensive, neither lead being an as*hole to each other; romance that isn't overly dry or has too much drama; leads may be either slightly stereotypes or codependent but at least it's cute and they are not 2d but the sides may be a little; chemistry is good and story plot is mediocre or vice versa... more>>

At best: independent badass leads where the romance is a build up of them doing their own thing and getting to know each other; solid world building; 3d characters all around; fluff that makes you happy and not bored to read; there is actually good plot; there is life beyond romance but the romance makes it nice to read too

Pt 1 is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16574/

Pt 3 (slowly updating):

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/66164/

In no particular order.

Includes: bg/bl romances, enjoyable opness, supernatural, entertainment, fantasy, good fluff, s*x, smut, adventure and/or mystery, etc 

Low-key this list is just me forgetting all these books' plots. Lawl <<less

Stories with reversible couples, couples with non-traditional top/bottom dynamics, and couples where the position is not relevant to the story (and hard to identify).... more>>

For "manly gay couple" some characters may have traditionally feminine traits, but I consider them a "manly" couple because they do not play an ersatz "wife" role in the story. On the other hand, stories with bottoms who are outwardly masculine but play a wife role in the relationship would not be considered a "manly gay couple" in this list.

A "traditional" top-bottom dynamic is primarily defined here as one where the bottom is an ersatz traditional woman. Certain danmei-specific tropes that make a character easily identifiable as the bottom or top could also qualify.

Older brother - young brother dynamics are only considered non-traditional if the shou is also on the more masculine side / clearly does not play a wife role. <<less

Just a collection of all the BL that I've interested in

Enjoy~ <<less

This is just some random list of BL novels that I'm specially waiting for their stories to be completed or translated once again since some... more>> has been on hiatus for a long time. I'm basing it on the summary and how it hooked my interest so please don't expect, the list is heavily subjective. I know some of the novels has low ratings yet I'm still taking my chances especially since I enjoy fluff, slice of life, [very] light drama, action, and adventure genres. No heavy drama here in this list. Although I might some, I doubt I'll read it immediately. Anyways, once again, this is a very subjective list so don't expect much.  <<less
