Ancient or Cultivation BL reads that will make you feel you didn't waste your time. This list is apart of a series classified by genre; other lists of this series include Thriller/Action, Fluff, and Modern/Transmigration novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. Honest note--not a big fan of ancient settings. I've judged quality by reviews and seeming plot. ... more>>

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). 

 -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.

-Makes me think--especially applies to this genre since I usually read this genre for the court schemes and palace intrigues. 

-Make me cry, laugh, yell or gasp. Perhaps all at the same  time. 

*****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. 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. But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone.  <<less

It's always nice to take a break from heavier novels and read something fluffy and light-hearted.  Better yet if it's high quality fluff. So here ya go. This list is also 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, QT/Modern, and Ancient Setting novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. ... more>>

So what is my subjective version of a quality BL of this list?

-No/little plot holes 

-Not aggravatingly weak or s*upid MC

-In most cases, a respectful, long legged, hot asf ML

-Makes me smile and blush

-Don't have that many requirements for fluff....because well...it's fluff. It's not supposed to be deep. 

 ****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *."

PSSS. FME= novel has been added regardless of NU rating because it looks like it has potential or/and the reviews love it. <<less

(There's a second list out. Just add a 2 to the name of this list and you'll find it) ... more>>

These are some of the BL novels with seme protagonists that I've read and love. There are so few BL novels with a seme protagonist, which is sad. Well, I'll add the ones I've read so far and like or the ones I can somehow tolerate. And I'll add as I read I guess, so bear with me. Arigato

 P. S. Y'all can recommend similar novels too in the comment section (doesn't have to be a seme protag too, I'm open to new books, can't always find 'em myself) (^o^) <<less

As a sucker for cultivation novels, I felt creating this list as a must. This list include all the bl tag as Xianxia, Xuanhuan and Wuxia that I found here and picked my interest. Cultivation and martial arts, both present. ... more>>

I did not include those I've already read or I'm reading, though. So I listed some of them bellow for you in comments section 

There's a part 2! <<less

BL Cultivation... more>>

These heartless Shizuns! Oblivious to romantic feelings because they're too focused on cultivating! These evil and sinful disciples! Harboring unpure feelings towards their Shizuns!!! >A<

What the "smut" part means: If there is a "yes," that means there is at least one detailed/moderately described love scene.

Just a list because I need to get my sh*t together. Most importantly, I need to get my BL cultivation obsession sorted out.
Transmigration included, but no world hopping/quick transmigration. <<less

These are BL novels that I would like to read but translations seem to be dropped or have links that are no longer available.  List may change over time such as if someone picks up the translations, or I find more that I want to read that have been dropped.  This is also a way that I can better track some that might just be slow in translation.... more>>

I know some translators prefer doing those that have a small number of chapters left.  I will mark those that have 26-50 chapters left with +, and those with 25 or less with *.

If you are a translator that view this list and decide to pick up or continue one of these, THANK YOU!  I would not be able to enjoy as many BL novels without you. <<less
