notw: most reviews r very old and cringe… sorry <<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 novels which has good plotline and smex scenes. I have included short novels as well if their is a considerable plot. (Some novels even after having just 10 chapters can have good plotline)... more>>

Degree varies; whether the scenes are detailed or not is mentioned

I personally prefer such novels where 'willing' physical intimacy is also shown. So descriptions are based on my likeness to the relationship.

I have only included the ones I have read.

*No particular order; I don't like ranking*

**Part 2 of list is out**

My preferred taste is FLUFFY, but I also sport for the occasional angst & tearjerker novel. Modern stories are personally easier to digest. Historical or xianxia/cultivation stories are loaded with Chinese references & I can easily get lost. However, they can be very poetic & beautiful, which is why I bear the pain of treading carefully. Unlimited flow is a fun pastime at the cost of my brain cells.  <<less

BL stories that have hooked my attention. Strong characters, good plot, and writing. [Part 1/2]

The MCs of the list are comparatively active ones. They can be dense before the relationship like Wei Ying but they get enlightened sooner or later (≧▽≦).
They may or may not be the first one to fall in love.... more>>

It may sound weird but before reading 'Advance Bravely' novel I almost came to believe that in all the Chinese BL novels, One partner is always reluctant or passive; well it maybe noted that I haven't had read that many BL novels before it; this novel enlightened me.

I have only included the ones I have read.

Original YAOI is genuinely PWP. Eventually, plot-filled yet spicy stories (without being blatant p*rn) started cropping up. Unfortunately one list is not enough so I've decided to divide them. I swear! This is the last list I'll create. **BASICALLY PLOT-CENTERED W/ "CARS"** I'll mostly include those that have great stories.... more>>

Keywords: UNCENSORED, NO BLACKOUTS. SMUTTY. This list is the milder version of my original smut list. So yeah, most will generally be "Safe for work" except for a few scenes. "Generally". LOL. Novels that are at least 80 to 98% plot. Some only have one or two s*x session but still it's all detailed. And the s*xual tension, ofc we can't forget the sexy s*xual tension. Yum.

- Takame.

 This hasn't been sorted out, rankings are the first novels I've read till its the most recent novel I was reading..(you can see how much my taste have changed hehe)... more>>

I also want to mention that due to some completed novels that looks like it has no chapters... is because of the translators locking the chapters and sites. You either have two or three options. 
✿(P.S. I put a sign to distinguish at the end of each novel's bio to distinguish if its a password needed novel.....)✿

[ 1.)You can ask permission from the translators to read them but it doesn't really happen often ..

2.) or I recommend this method more which is, you can go to their website and read their explanation or bio on how to read the locked chapters, it varies. ***But in most cases, you can either DM their used social media like twitter to get the password. Or either get an invite from their discord; get verified; and get the password; and there you can finally read....(If you still can't find info or anything then the translator might have really deleted their translations, in worse cases you might never read the masterpieces...) ;-;

 3.) There is also translators here who ban some countries due to bots ripping off their hard work. The only thing you could do is just use VPN. But if not, you are very very lucky..... cause my country is banned so I have to use VPN. *sobbing* ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д`ﾟ)ﾟ｡  ] <<less

In here, I will only add realistic and mature relationship between two men.

They have a unique s*x life based on their personality unlike typical danmei where shou are shy and first kiss lip, neck, and bang. They will have actual s*x. <<less
