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

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 :)

No description.

Ancient or Cultivation BL reads that will make you feel you didn't waste your time. This list is apart of a series classified by genre; other lists of this series include Thriller/Action, Fluff, and Modern/Transmigration novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. Honest note--not a big fan of ancient settings. I've judged quality by reviews and seeming plot. ... more>>

So what is my subjective version of a quality BL of this list?

-No/little plot holes & well developed plot

Capable MC and ML  (not aggravatingly s*upid and knows when to respect each other but also put their foot down at the right moments). 

 -Lasting impression. I made this list by memory so if it's not on here...Chances are it's not worth remembering for the list.

-Makes me think--especially applies to this genre since I usually read this genre for the court schemes and palace intrigues. 

-Make me cry, laugh, yell or gasp. Perhaps all at the same  time. 

*****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. But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone.  <<less

The novels in this recommendation list are with various kinds of protagonists and male leads, the protagonist can either be a gong or a shou, rags to riches kind of protagonist/ml, or strong to stronger kind of protagonist/ml but, there will be NO WORLD-HOPPING novels in this list. It's not that I dislike it, just, simply not my cup of tea.... yet.

As a sucker for cultivation novels, I felt creating this list as a must. This list include all the bl tag as Xianxia, Xuanhuan and Wuxia that I found here and picked my interest. Cultivation and martial arts, both present. ... more>>

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

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

my favourite danmei novels, unranked. good stuff!

These heartless Shizuns! Oblivious to romantic feelings because they're too focused on cultivating! These evil and sinful disciples! Harboring unpure feelings towards their Shizuns!!! >A<

What the "smut" part means: If there is a "yes," that means there is at least one detailed/moderately described love scene.

Just a list because I need to get my sh*t together. Most importantly, I need to get my BL cultivation obsession sorted out.

Welcome, my lovely lunatics, to the 'Yandere Yaoi Yarns' – where love isn't just blind, it's also hiding in your closet.  Because who needs a healthy relationship when you can have a side order of surveillance and a dash of unhealthy obsession? Get ready for a plot so thick, even Cupid would need a GPS to find his way out. ( Cupid is traumatised and taking therapy).  'Cause why settle for a normal love story when you can have a dog blood drama with a side order of eye-rolling? ... more>>

{Don't judge OP  , judge yourself shameless brats for looking out for these kind of novels .
 NOTE : ALL these suggestions are ones which I had read, cherished and then hand picked selectively . Most of them are complete already so reading these won’t be waste of your time and money for you . They all are fine Masterpieces in themselves and worth the shot.
