Lighthearted, no angst, cute, romantic, warm and sweet. I re-read those often. Only completed novels listed. Some do have a little angst, but it is never between the couple, mostly drama from their past or outsiders who bring them trouble.... more>>

Those novels are well-written, with coherent story, coherent protagonists, coherent fantasy/modern world-building. Coherence and consistency in both plot and character behaviour are really important for me. I am not looking for realism. I am looking for cohesion and escapism. I don't mind characters who are OP, filthy rich, tsunderes, yanderes, geniuses, black-belly, child-like adults, evil demons, amoral characters, shota, obssessive, possessive etc.. i don't mind excessive characters because that's exactly what i like. I like that in Asian lit, those marginal characters are heroes and not defined by standardised morality. In Western lit, i don't meet many characters like that, and i have 45yrs of reading western literature. The only character set i avoid are indecisive protags who have no self-knowledge and keep self-analysing which i find quite boring. IRL, i also avoid such people lol... <<less

Collating BL with smut rated 4 and above.  Either a great plot or great s*x!!

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

Here are the BL that I enjoy reading and re-reading for the nth times .

No description.

Includes persistent and shameless pursuers who are bold enough to chase and passionately show affection to their loved ones.... more>>

- tons of passion: bold flirting, teasing, seducing, shamelessness, boldly standing up for each other, s*xual tension, bold straightforwardness, hot action, and dog food, wife/husband-chasing <<less

Fluffy and short story for you

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

[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

Novels where MC got pregnant or gave birth at the end of the novel.

Both BL and BG (will say which it is) The novels that I actually read from beginning to finish and didn't end up skipping through. (I don't have much patience so if a story gets a little boring I'll start skipping through and then won't save it so these are the ones that I didn't end up skipping through) They are all HE because I can't deal with BE and for the most part their endings are satisfying with no super big loose ends that don't get tied up. ... more>>

The novels aren't in any particular order - (the beginning is just alphabetically backwards from the ones I've saved and then the later ones are just in order of when I read them)

I'm slowly going through the lists and adding my thoughts on the novels.... emphasis on slowwwllyyyy <<less

This list contains worth noting BL novels that are recently complete in translation here in novelupdates. All novels are rated 4.0 and up and have an interesting premise so it should be quite decent enough to read.... more>>

Enjoy reading! <3 <<less
