This list contains the ongoing novels, for completed ones refer the ‘established BL’ list.

Mixed recommendations to read. BG, BL, no yuri. A must read of various genres.

These books just left me feeling a certain kinda way. (It may be a certain plot point, the world building, or just one character I... more>> can't bear to part with) :) <<less

Just a list of some BLs cause why not 

It’s just too good to only read it once, and i’m addicted to power couple. Great stories to be engrossed to for different kind of mood.... more>>

While waiting for more completely translated story, here i am re-reading those that once touched my heart... <<less

Novels that involve tragic pasts and second chances be it in historical or modern settings. Characters are usually quick-witted, sharp-tongued and a little bit morally fraudulent. ... more>>

 If angst is involved, the endings are nevertheless, very satisfying.  <<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

This is based on my opinion only, I love their plot and how their story flows, some you'll find the rating is not high but... more>> for me it's good story. <<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

Only BL WIP

No description.

It's all boys love I'm not gonna lie. The title really says it all tbh. This is what I'm currently reading of my reading list.... more>> Titles will come and go. May make new lists to organize more. <<less

No description.

Stories I wholeheartedly recommend! These generally feature intelligent characters and interesting relationship dynamics, and may include long, plotty novels as well as short slice-of-life novellas... more>> and everything in between. I'm including books with straight as well as queer romances, or none at all - my only major criterion is that it's genuinely good! <<less

Short list of novels that I wish to check up with daily.

No description.

✨Only the cream of the crop ✨ All the (mostly) historical novels which have proven to stand the test of time a.k.a survived  my endless nitpicking, fluctuating moods and multiple re-read. So yeah, pretty strong novels.... more>>

PS: The others novels I liked, but not enough to be featured here, are in my yearly "New Favorite Historical Romances" lists. <<less

Like it says, these are chinese BL novels who have a rating of 4.5 or more! No particular order~ I'm doing this list both for myself and for other readers :)... more>>

P.s, if you find a rating is lower that means the rating changed and was 4.5 or more at the time i added it here. Istg i'm NOT going to change the novels every 5 minutes- unless it fell down really low.

Lots of good quality BL here~ muah~~

[This is part 1 so i'll probably make part if i'm not lazy lol-] <<less

I’m fussy with my BL! Interesting plots, engaging chemistry, not too stereotypical....All in all these are novels that have me emotionally invested in the characters. ... more>>

There will, of course, be spicy ones.... <<less

Bls I find all over, ratings above 4 

No description.

Just some novels I have finished/currently reading and enjoyed them a lot! Hopefully you can find something new or share similar interest! (novels in no... more>> particular order) adding novels I plan to read. Let me know if any of those are good :) <<less
