Prt 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/37919/?st=1... more>>

High Quality BL (slightly more serious) reads set in modern/futuristic setting--or perhaps jumps between time through transmigration. This list is 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, Fluff, and Ancient Setting 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

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

-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.

 ****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars (purely subjective, take it with a grain of salt). 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. Though not fluff, there will be some Feel Good (have more of a plot) novels here. <<less

 -includes Non-strangers that transmigrate together and continue to associate with each other to eventually fall in love; characters from different time periods that fall in love; lovers that continue to love and find their happy ending after rebirth; multiple transmigrations; and lovers that eventually travel to the mc’s original world to stay together 

- includes lovers separated by time and dimensions 

- won’t include world hopping, quick transmigration novels with a system administrator unless both mc and ml have systems that relay tasks related to each other falling in love  <<less

These novels are those that I deemed worthy of being called one of the High/Top Tier BL novels out here. ... more>>

There are also novels here that aren't BL but I still included them (in the list and in the comment box) to bring such masterpieces to your attention.

Also, those with a ⭐ are the ones that occupy a space in my heart! They are very special to me and I will read them over and over again!

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!

Novel descriptions under the rating.

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
