To read or not to read; that is the question. The continuation (x2) . . . 

Satisfying, Interesting and full of face slapping. Read or currently reading.

Novels I go back to! This will only include my favorites that are completely translated.... more>>

I read all kinds of genres from cultivation novels to slice of life to BL to GL cuz if it's good, it's good.

I especially like: Action/ Adventure with good described fight scenes, Romance that have plot (not too concentrated on romance only), Childcare, Wholesome Family Bonds, a bit of OPness and Showbiz elements.

In no particular order. <<less

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

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

Bunch of BL novels that touched my heart. 

Only danmei.... more>>

Novels in the comments are the ones that are not here in NU <<less

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

(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.

("|| STATUS: [ ]" is my reading status as of typing the novel's description.) <<less

Cream of the crop novels I've finished (translations and mlts) with modern day, interstellar, survival, world hopping, some rare xinxia, and comedic school life BL's... more>> with quality characters and plots. (No slow moving boring novels) (rated out of 5 stars) (ordered by date read and which had the strongest impression on me) (7 or up - EPICCC, 6 - pure gold, 5 - chef's kiss, 4 - good) <<less

Novels not yet completed but seem to be good. Will read once the translation is 70%-100% done. Hoping it won't get dropped.

Unfinished. Still reading other BL/Danmei novels as of the moment. To be updated soon.... more>>

Also, I'm kind of a picky reader so I'm sorry if it's short

Also, the listing isn't ranked.

Enjoy ♡ <<less

My list of danmei novels that I truly love, with amazing plot and world building, interesting characters, and good translations! ... more>>

I really like unique stories so I try my best to find stories with unusual and refreshing plots that are different, though sometimes clichéd and trope-ish stories will be included if executed well, also since it’s kind of my guilty pleasure ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ 

I really enjoy tragedies with happy endings, psychological and angst so be prepared for dog blood in some of them! I include both popular and underrated stories, though I’m definitely trying to dig around the more underrated ones I’ve read and newly discovered ones to recommend.

I’m a very picky reader so I don’t add stories frequently, but still regularly so!!

I update this list when I find a book i enjoy extremely!! <<less

Do you love to binge read?? Do you hate cliffhangers??? If so this list is for you. All the novels listed here have fully completed the translation of the main story; some are lacking the extras ... more>>
