Major hurt/comfort simp. ... more>>

Been hurting all my life with no one to comfort me so reading a hurt/sickly MC being worried/doted/cared for/loved on really soothes my soul or something twisted like that. I'm trying to find meaning behind all the suffering. Hmnn yeah that sounds about right, I wanna read meaningful suffering.

SSSSE (Self Sacrifice= sacrificing themselves for others/a greater good) (Self Suffering= is hurting/carrying burden/enduring hardship on their own) (Exposed= other people find out leading in increased positive action/attention towards them and or it affects other people in some way so there is meaning to the suffering)

Absolutely love the vomiting blood and everybody worries trope. MC in pain? It's okay baby it's all worth it there will be people that will take care of you or make up for it. Fluff stuff. Spurting blood is fun and all but psychological hurt also rubs me right, stuff like taking blame then the other party regretting and making up for it? Angst stuff. Mmm working too hard or getting hurt in place of others is also nice.

Romance. No romance. Straight. BL. Some I read using mtl.

tl;dr I just wanna talk about the novels I've read but highlight the heart abuse scenes :)

comment your thoughts and/or suggestions~

update: I'm back and ready to update the list! harem bl seems to have gotten more common/popular in general, wow! <<less

Some need to be in a jail-room, others need to be in a therapy room, and the MC needs to be in a courtroom to get a restraining order against them... Unless he's into it, in which case, who am I to complain? ... more>>

Edit: Woa, I never expected that many users to like obsessive MLs, feels great to see those with the same 'guilty pleasures' as mine (I don't feel guilty though, not because my taste is good but because I lack shame). We're out here bonding over unhinged guys lmao. Also, what's your ideal obsessive ML? I'm quite curious, so feel free to comment it below. 

Personally, I prefer MLs who are usually ruthless and somewhat cruel to everyone but the MC, whom they treat with utmost love, care and respect, of course they're still 'toxic' in a way they wouldn't leave the MC alone or ever separate from him, but to make him stay, they'd rather pamper him to the hell and back than use torture or abuse. A big plus if they're paired with sly and morally grey MCs.

Edit 2: if you see random words censored, it ain't me. NU just recently started doing that out of nowhere :/ <<less

Danmei with the main couple as master and disciple pair. We really need more on this list.... more>>

You can recommend more novels in the comments below.

[disciple x master cultivation novels] <<less

Angsty BL in no particular order.... more>>

Feel free to recommend me similar reads fellow sadomasochists. Enjoy~ <<less

So I've already found and read about 2 hundred BL novels? (Btw I recommend checking out my 2 previous lists! I have more of my favourite books stored there)... more>>

Time flies so fast lol! 

Well, welcome everyone! Let's see what else will I find! 

(I can read anything that seems interesting, but my no-nos are harems, tragedies and most of tagged as male yandere ones (they are super annoying sometimes ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯ I have had enough) 

And a big yes for me are SEME Protagonists!! I love them, it's fresh and nice! I like to see things from their perspective~)  <<less

ML wrongs the MC in some way, then regrets when the MC has already lost his love for him. Cue the chase!... more>>

(MC may or may not end up with ML) <<less

Prt 3: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/54468/?ft=yes... more>>

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

Most promising novels that I'm excited to read this year! 《《o(≧◇≦)o》》

My favorite Novels where mc is being loved by one or many yandere chracters

THE OPPOSITE: you raised me and now you want to eat my tofu??? i’m not rlly into this bc of ~dynamics-! but i include it since i remember quite a few stories like that

if you have any recs pls let me know in the comments too! <<less

I'm a sucker for Protagonists with gorgeous faces. So here are some recommendations for face-cons like me :D... more>>

Edit: Who knew it would be hard finding pretty-faced MCs where their beauty is either heavily related to the plot or frequently mentioned? <<less

Master x Disciple / Elder disciple(shixiong) x Younger disciple(shidi)... more>>

I have a preference for MCs raising a bun thinking it's a white rabbit when it's actually a h**ny wolf-pup gong who just wanna push them down and "cultivate" feelings~ 

But this contain 4or5 older gongs/seme MCs too (mostly cause my lazyass can't bother to sort it all out and make another list)~

Very very incomplete list cause I've only added novels that I've read/am reading... Will update as i find new ones.

⚠️ be warned. Most of the MLs need therapy, of varying degrees, but unfortunately that's a non-existent concept in cultivation worlds.. So we've got a lotta Yanderes in here and all their associated red flags!⚠️ <<less

MC: I didn't know you were like this! (っ °Д °;)っ... more>>

When the bottom wants to top MC!! 

#uke-like seme x seme-like uke #OG shou x mc

(includes BG & BL) + the novels suggested are all gems and in my top tier lists or in the process of being. Recommendations are all accepted + credit for introducing me to a new gem.

[This list is not polished yet so there might be inconsistencies and no description] <<less

beautiful/pretty/cute/handsome MC (BL/DANMEI)... more>>

The rating is not about the plot; it's about how good their face is!

1-2 rating: Better than average, irrelevant to the plot, or mentioned only once or twice with no effect on characters.

3 rating: Good looking but only mentioned a few times with no effect on characters.

4 rating: Very good-looking but irrelevant to the plot, has some effect on characters.

5 rating: Very good-looking, relevant to the plot, and affects characters.

6 rating: Top tier, directly connected to the plot, full effect. <<less

No description.

These are all the BL novels that I am currently reading or have finished ... more>>

I like a yandere or super possessive ML 

I for some reason do not like it when the protagonist hides his identity as a big shot and I don't know why <<less

mc's face launches a thousand ships, starting wars and causing the downfall of a dynasty... more>>

pls comment if you have any to add! (i am a bit picky) mc's beauty should not just be mentioned but also be a driving force behind some of the plot and story, ideally with a minor focus on tragedy (how can the earth shatter without tragedy? with beauty there is conflict) <<less

a list of crematorium/wife-chasing/gong regret/scum gong novels ft. some with misunderstandings! i wanted an angst tag but there isn't one ;; if you have any suggestions, i'd love to hear them in the comments! included are also some novels that aren't necessarily crematorium but may still make your heart hurt (in a good way) from the misunderstandings and relationships!... more>>

the wife-chasing novels follow a general pattern of: MC loves ML but ML treats MC badly and/or does not reciprocate > something happens to MC, such as death, amnesia, sickness, or he falls out of love with ML > ML belatedly realizes his feelings > ML tries to chase the MC and win him back

please do mind the tags of some of the novels, as some of them are BE! <<less

Must read novels in NU !!!! 

Just the ones that caught my eye or were recommended frequently. Will have to look into them later, so PLEASE NOTE that I have not vetted all of these or anything! Many are ongoing, but there are also quite a few that are completed.... more>>

This may be a good source for people who want some novels that are not typically suggested, which is exactly what I was looking for.  <<less

I just want to collect Shizun (x disciple) on my own. Although Shizun is not necessarily called Shizun (can be Shifu/Master).... more>>

*This rec list can also be called (Gay) Disciple Collection, but I'm not commenting the disciples

*QT are not counted for now, because the shizun percentage are too small

*new recommendations on top for easier view

*From No. 21 are Shizuns that I'm not familiar with

*Occasionally adding/editting comments <<less

stories where the main character (usually) transmigrates into a book they've been reading or go back in time after suffering horribly. they know the potential consequences for the actions they might take. now, they're going to change their fate!... more>>

recs are welcome~ <<less
