Stories with a close friendship/relationship between two male characters that is not romantic in nature.

why do you even look for knife bro. treasure your life more. treasure your kokoro more. QAQ... more>>

Warning:
- I don't read BE (some might be BE-ish tho :haroldface:)
- I only add titles where I've experienced the knife, or know there would be knife for sure (ex: mudaoli's novel)
- degree of knife sharpness varies for each person. you might agree with this list, you might not. 
- I have low pain tolerance :haroldface: 

my scale of pain, ranged from 'not really hurts' to 'it haunts me every time I see kite': 
1-3: wooden rice spoon (getting hit by one hurts okay)
4-6: paper cut (hidden but suddenly you feel pain)
7-8: knife. be wary. 
9: you're almost ascending via 刀道
10: machete. you've already reached godhood of 刀道. congratulations.  <<less

I am loosing sight of all the stuff I read and liked or want to read still ? so ... Mostly cultivation stuff or historical. I have no standards and tend to read almost everything to have an excuse to procrastinate :,) So check the NU tags please.... more>>

It is mostly (!) sorted by how much I enjoyed it(I I finished it). To be read are at the very bottom, on hold (for various reasons ) in the middle.

Comments, Suggestions and additional warnings are welcome! (Like saying "Hippo What.The.f*ck. 'Series x not angst?! Are your feelings dead?!'" to which the answer is "Yes, they are" So I rely on others to tell me if I didn't pick up on the angst)

Removed cause I yeeted them like a hot potato(or "a list can only hold 100 but other ppl might enjoy and i wanna remember i dropped em"): 

-I've led the villain astray how do i fix it

-The protagonist is in the right position to get along with the villain <<less

Chinese BL novels/manhuas  + some Korean manhwas/novels getting adapted to live action (that I've read/heard of/know of) in 2022 (and some are later)... more>>

Let's read them all before the adaptations are here~~~ 

(01/22 edit: ahaha it might be hard now cuz of that situation with the translators, but at least here's a list for (potential) adaptations) <<less

My Favorite Chinese Historical  Novels >.< This list consists of both BL and Straight novels with a rating above 4.0~... more>>

Note: Recently, some of the translation teams have taken their works down (dead links on the content section)  from NU (because NU has grown a lot) however most of them if not all have their own sites and the novels are still available there! So if you search the novels online you can still find them! ;)

P.S. There is also a part 2 with more novels and hidden gems for everyone to read! If interested the second list can be found on my account :)  <<less

Lots of scheming and imperial drama with exceptionally 'wise' emperors, more often than not. ... more>>

She said we are good friends, so I resisted the desire to hold her hand. But when she raised her head and looked at me with bright round eyes, I felt that my heart was no longer beating.... more>>

Childhood friends to lovers is definitely the sweetest trope. And I'm also curious. How does it feel to grow up and see a handsome face almost everyday?

Please follow the list if you like the novels listed and do tell if you have recommendations.

I like how they take the risk, follow their heart and confess. How the relationship change from friends-ambiguous relationship-lovers.

Well, since the first list was full, I had to make a second one. As a result, I prepared this list. You know that new... more>> novels are translated one after the other in one day. and within a day at least one new bl novel is being translated. I can easily like a bl novel so probably this list will fill up quickly too. anyway. As a result, there is now another list.(IMPORTANT NOTES! THERE ARE ONLY BL NOVELS ON THIS LIST! THIS LIST WILL NOT BE HAREM NOVEL BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THEM BECAUSE I HATE IT! I WILL HAVE LONG OR SHORT NOTES FOR THE NOVELS I WILL ADD TO THIS LIST.THESE NOTES WILL CONTAIN MY THOUGHTS. DON'T FORGET THAT THESE ARE ONLY MY THOUGHTS! THEREFORE, I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY RIDICULOUS COMMENTS HERE THAT CHALLENGE MY THOUGHTS IN A "ROUGH" WAY. IMMEDIATELY THANK YOU FOR CHECKING MY LIST. <<less

Wuxia, Xianxia, Danmei and such genres. Mostly historical, includes transmigration/reincarnation.... more>>

Feel free to recommend <<less

Cultivation and historical settings, mostly (also has transmigration too)... I'm sorry for lumping the genres in one list but I hope this helps!

This is a list of BL I found to be really good reads with small NU readership (<4000 readers), and/or few reviews. They usually feature one or more of the following:... more>>

1. Strong plot

2. Good characters/characterization

3. Power couple.

Most (but not all) are HE as well. I generally read more historical, but there will be others as well. The list will be slowly updated over time. I will also try to add comments or reasons to why I like the novel, especially to titles I didn't leave a review for already.

Additionally, while this generally a rec list, that doesn't mean that I will have glowing things to say about every single one of them. I will still have criticisms and complaints about things I didn't like about each of these.

Note: This is NOT a list of all BLs that I consider to be excellent (there are many I consider to be good reads but are much more well-read i.e. >6,000 readers, even). An absolutely favorite list might be posted separately at another time. <<less
