(Actively updated.) When I first started reading on NU, I wished that there was a rec list with long descriptions of the novels so I knew what I'm getting myself into instead of having to check the synopsis of each individual novel. Couldn't find any, so I created one. Here it is. Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience.... more>>

Disclaimer; my "reviews" are my own personal, biased opinions. I'm terrible at being systematic & putting my thoughts into effective sentences, so 90% of the novel descriptions in here are just me rambling. I usually only drop & rate novels after I've read at least until c.35. Also, I like to change my ratings & reviews sporadically. Feel free to suggest more novels and/or argue with me.

[5/5] - Truck-kun would shed real man tears at these masterpieces.

Below [4.4/5] - Truck-kun would shed tears of a disappointed Asian parent.

[3/5] - Truck-kun would hit them (again), maybe then they'll transmigrate and become a better story. Replaceable at any time.

Novels translated by Chrysanthemum Garden translation team. For novels I've read, I put on higher list and give a bit comment.
Their translation is good and the pace also great. And many enjoyable story there.... more>>

Due to the limitation of the list, I delete some novels which has rating less than 4.1

Due to the limitation of the list, I put the short stories on another list: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/35706/

> Totally recommended: super duper good great story that you'll regret if not read it
> Recommended: a good story with good plot and has certain charm
> Average: not a bad story but has an average plot or some generic stuff but still good
> Not my cup of tea: I wont say it bad, but it's not my taste. Feel free to try to read it tho :) <<less

This list is for the best relationships between couples. The ones with really great dynamics and tension. The ones that make you fall more in love with them with every word you read. The ones that make you smile. The healthiest, the funniest, the loveliest, and the ones that are none of that but make you go insane anyways. ... more>>

Any gender, any sexuality.  <<less

Completed novels/series that I've read. Not ranked. Mostly Danmei (BL/Yaoi), a couple of Xianxia/Wuxia.

Only the best written BL stories from here on out. Happy endings and mostly no abusive texts 

Only 4 stars and above; brain rot

Compilation of novels that I've read and like. No particular order. All kind of tags and genres.. Complete, or at least the main story is... more>> complete, mostly.. haha <<less

Even if I'm tr*sh, that doesn't mean these stories are tr*sh. I just have little discrimination in my tastes, so please ignore me and this... more>> list. I just want to remember some of the BL that I've enjoyed. All of this is merely my own opinion. Note: I like happy endings and mostly try to only read completed novels. <<less

as you can see from the title... more>>

ps: i also consider the protagonist who are stuck in a movie/app and have to act as playing a game, you can pick them out from the name <<less

No description.

E-sport, School Life, Slice of Life, Sci-Fi, ABO

Here, we don't want excessive paragraphs of world building or long monologues. No harem, tragedy, noncon, or mpreg. Highly unlikely I’ll add anything cultivation or historical (too much text). I like silly but capable MCs and kind MLs. ... more>>

I add comments to each one & list will continue to be updated. <<less

(✓) = done reading... more>>

a lot of these are still incomplete <<less

All over the place with lots of both quick and not transmigration and reborn stories. Some face slapping, some black bellied ML and/or MC, schemes... more>> and too many cliches. Tags are sometimes exclusive to one story, so don't mind them. <<less

Sweet sweet BL with pink fluffy hearts and no silly unnecessary drama <3... more>>

✅ Completed

⭕ Started - not completed. <<less

No description.

Stories I like where the MC(always shou) is clever, self-aware or intelligent. Not helpless, not Holy Mothers, and not scheming. Also, I only read with... more>> the translation, so I can’t judge based on the entire book unless it’s fully translated. Books are added as I read <<less

*I won't include every novel I read here, just the ones I really think are worth at least a try. There are also a few I dropped but I felt like it was more personal bias or a pet peeve that made me drop it/give it a low score, and objectively, other people might like it.

*List has reached max amount so I'll start another one.

-I try to add stories that contain a mix of good characterization & an interesting plot/premise while avoiding mindlessly indulgent stories (that's for my other list) but sometimes they'll end up here 

description will contain why the novel caught my eye & impressions after reading <<less

Based on my personal taste, i will only add novels that i love (ノ・ω・)ノ
