Sorry most of the descriptions may just be rambles as I wrote them inebriated.  <<less

(Mostly) BL novels that I can't put down at all while reading. I can't ever be bored reading them. In no particular order, they're all... more>> novels I love. (All are HE. No BE in this household.) <<less

THESE ARE THE MOST AMAZING BOOKS i have ever laid my eyes on! 

These are incomplete books which I MTL'd because I couldn't wait for the translations. There are not much books but the MTL'd version of these... more>> books are quiet easy to understand. <<less

Only danmei.... more>>

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

A compilation of Chrysanthemum Garden BL novels I've read or am currently reading.

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

Entertainment/Showbiz Novels... more>>

Mostly BL. Mostly completed.

(few bxg on 2nd page ; will be moving due to reaching maximum number of novels added)

From quite good novels to novels that you can't missed.

(Not sorted by rank)

Updating... <<less

Added in the order I remembered them - take the descriptions with a grain of salt. And maybe some pepper. I might add details one... more>> day, who knows? <<less

I love all of these novels and I hope many other people also would. Some are well known, some less, but all have their charm. There is a variety of genres so I have noted the main theme/trope since different people like different kinds. Some of these I have already read several times and some I might have not finished yet so I'll just put a note their entry is tentative if I am not sure.... more>>

I generally prefer healthier relationship so if you are a dogblood lover you might not find yourself in these. But I also can't guarantee all the ones here are healthy either...

Of course, as with any lists... it is subjective opinion. You don't have to like what others do. But if you find at least one you want to pick up, I'm glad to have helped. I'll keep this updated as I read more.

Non-BL - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/77777/ (That's where ORV is, as much as I would love to put it here, ehe. Wholly recommend that novel.)

Other good novels that just barely didn't make it to this list (mix of genres): https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/49840/

Memorable Short Stories (mix) - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/55139/ (some are also in this or other lists) <<less

All safe books (I'm a very sensitive reader lol). Dual virg*ns, first love! 
No themes like cheating, love triangles, weird creepy casanovas etc. (Some books MAY have some unsafe themes but not enough for me to quit reading so it shouldn't be too bad I guess? ill mention them if I remember)... more>>

If you have similar safe books, pleaseeee do recommend them down below!!

These are all the books I've read since May of 2021 ;] <<less

You're at the right place if... more>>

↬You're tired of: Non-con | Major power imbalance | Romanticisation of toxic, manipulative, and controlling behaviour. 

↬And you want: Novels that put emphasis on consent | Mutual respect, trust, and understanding between the main cp | Forehead pecks | Character development | Couple growth | Misunderstandings that get resolved through proper communication. 

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please make sure to first check the tags on these novels before starting them though, as some of them talk about sensitive matters (Mistakenly Saving the Villain for example) 

Also, aside from Saye — which holds a special place in my heart, rest of the list isn't arranged by my personal preferences but rather the covers, as I like to keep my lists colour-coordinated. However, if you were to ask me, my favourite healthy relationships out of these would be — Saye, Mistakenly Saving the Villain, Restricted Area, Heaven Official’s Blessing, and To Rule in a Turbulent World.

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please let me know if there's more novels with healthy relationships or if I accidentally added a novel which doesn't have one ( ˊᵕˋ ; ) <<less

bl stories i hated or dropped, mostly because they were too long for me or had unhealthy relationships. Or were just way too boring... more>>

i’ll only write ”dropped it” if i don’t even remember the story anymore <<less

this list includes modern danmei novels that will make you smile :))

Spoiler-free reviews in the description.

Collection of Novel that I had read or still continue reading (on-going or slow reading). ... more>>

Mostly BL, but I put the Non-BL or Non-Romance too if there's any. And YES there's few there! <<less

The MCs of the list are comparatively active ones. They can be dense before the relationship like Wei Ying but they get enlightened sooner or later (≧▽≦).
They may or may not be the first one to fall in love.... more>>

It may sound weird but before reading 'Advance Bravely' novel I almost came to believe that in all the Chinese BL novels, One partner is always reluctant or passive; well it maybe noted that I haven't had read that many BL novels before it; this novel enlightened me.

I have only included the ones I have read.

If you have novel recommendation(s) please comment.

No toxicity. No frustrating 'lack of communication' couple. ... more>>

I am sick and tired of reading novel after novel showcasing toxic relationship as romance in BL novels. Depicting lust, addiction, possessiveness, jealousy, s*xual harassment, infatuation and desire as love, I don't understand what the majority of authors of BL novels are trying to achieve.... more>>

Now that I have vented my anger, I feel a bit better. Anyways, here is a list of BL novels that tells us what true love is all about. <<less

- Apocalypse: Living with a Cute Baby  (☆: 4.5/10)

No description.

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

Loosely sorted by quality, including both ABO and guideverse as they tend to work similarly.... more>>

Note on the pairing if it's ABO, and also on spice level (at this point maybe I should just make a separate list):
❀ = fade to black
❀❀ = vague descriptions or euphemisms
❀❀❀ = some details but a bit clinical
❀❀❀❀ = descriptive and varied, often kinky
❀❀❀❀❀ = korean bl... <<less

This list contains all the bl novels I have read and or still reading.
The stories are not rank in order so some GEMS could still be found at the lower list.
Most of the novels are COMPLETELY translated or either ALMOST COMPLETE and can be mtled.... more>>

All novels are rank 4.0 and up in novelupdates.

Enjoy reading! <3 <<less
