[ In no particularly order ] A list of my personal favorite BL novels that I've read so far to keep track.... more>>

P.S: List updates as I read them. Recommendations are very welcome! (づ￣ ³￣)づ

Hope this list will help you find great novels to read next~~ (>᎑<๑)/♡ <<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, "***, **, *."

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 (most likely the unread ones). But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone. 

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

These are the showbiz novels I've read so far. I might have mtled the novels. Dropped some midway. And waiting for some to finish

Most of the novels I read have complete proper translations so if the red completed tag isn't there, that means there is a quality translation somewhere on the internet, it just isn't linked here in NU for REASONS. 

So just search it up because I'm too lazy to edit every novel description QAQ (maybe I will still eventually do that in the future tho). 

I will also try my best to indicate those I MTLed, but they should all be with many chapters released already (maybe some are even completed now bcs a few of these I read a long time ago), I just google translated the last 15 chapters or so. 

Hope I help some of you find good novels to read. In alphabetical order for now, will sort later~ <<less

Welcome stumbling passengers or veterans to the second installment of this list. 

Somethings I never had the chance to note because I (also) filled up the description boxes’ capacity limit in the first list. 

1. I have not read all the novels on this list YET. All read novels are on part 1 with the according reviews. I made this list so I could have something visual to look at when looking for good quality novels to read. I judge "good quality novels" by seeming reviews and ratings or perhaps the book has an interesting premise you don’t usually find.

2.  I look for a capable MC and a subjectively respectful ML, but that doesn’t necessarily mean every book I put here fits that requirement. Once again, there is always exceptions. 

3. I don't like looking at the rating of the novel when there are barely any reviews. Thus I look at the reviews. If the reviews (even scarce) like it, it has potential. Thus, FME indicates that a novel has been added regardless of NU rating. 

 ****The higher the expectations for BL novels I have not read, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *." <<less

my favorite bl novels, including QT, Transmigration, Modern BL, Historical, Interstellar, ABO, Apocalypse, tragedy, etc ....... more>>

almost all are completed and fully translated

*novels are not arranged in any order. some novels can be added or removed. <<less

apparently my definition of fluff is: (1) no cheating; (2) main cp is happy; (3) no amnesia arc. ... more>>

I'd like to add no character death and it makes you feel like you're swimming in the cloud. 

but well. let's see. :haroldface: <<less

No description.

A collection of every single Gaming / e-sports danmei available on this site + some KR and JP esports/game themed novels

Novels that have only just started translating but despite the few chapters released, has caught my interest well enough. Can't promise or guarantee how it'll turn out tho. ... more>>

OR

Are really really underrated novels that you should try out (too little readers despite deserving greater popularity).

Frequently updated

Older novels/novels with higher reader counts would be placed lower on the list  <<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.)

[3/6] a list of BL's I actually read at least 75% through + the on going ones that i really like! LOTS of BL!! this is from a series of recc lists (check out my BG recc list AND my other BL recc lists [GL coming soon !!!] !!!) that i'm making for my own reading log with hopes that other people might give them a try as well! ... more>>

currently organized in descending star rate order !!!

♡ tips for novel enjoyment (esp for newbies to the site ! ) ♡: 

♡ give each novel a fair chance even if the rating is low ! some people just rate 1 star for no reason (especially for BLs and GLs) without even reading it, which is highly unfair ! sometimes, you'll come across GOLD in the lower ratings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

♡ check the OG novel publishing date ! older novels generally tend to have more questionable morals than ones from ~2019+, and they tend to be really cliche BECAUSE they were likely the pioneers of the genre (i.e. QT, apocalypse, etc...) you don't have to read them, but just keep that in mind !

♡ don't like? don't read ! ... But PLEASE read the synopsis and a few reviews to make sure you know what you're getting into both plot-wise and content warning-wise ! I see some people start ranting after going into a silly sweet QT novel expecting 9000+ level IQ protagonists and plots and,, i'm sorry but you're not gonna see that. manage your expectations and i assure you, you'll have a nice time! <<less

Including green flag and red flag characters, anything that pique my interest

All the Chinese BLs I have finished reading, in alphabetical order.... more>>

There are some that have been so long ago that I don't really remember how it goes -- but all the novels I've read are assuredly interesting enough, depending on the genres. If it's boring, I would have dropped it from the first chapter.

My taste can get quite heavy sometimes (do avoid if you're not into that), but most here are normal and engaging stories! Will update comments as I remember.

(p.s. my favorite type of ML is those domineering type) <<less

No description.

* Random genres... more>>

* All HE

* Some novels I haven't read yet but think that they might be good because of the description, rating, and reviews.

*I believe all of the novels in this list are slow romance, and also love interest falls in love first.

*Most are shou protagonist, few(1-3) are gong protagonist (I think). <<less

Not base on any ranking or any stuff like that.... more>>

I'm not good at writing review <<less

Here's a part 2 continuing all the completed BL works with happily ever after!!!! >.< ... more>>

All the novels are personally read, and therefore a guaranteed happy ending! :)

P.S. You can find part 1 of the list as well. Also, if you don't find them completed in the NU suggested websites, look the novel in other websites, I assure you they are completed!!! <<less
