Just some of the BLs I've read over the years that I liked or....thought was so-so. No particular ranking! Will continue to update as I read more and more novels or when I remember I've read a novel...(these are all the ones from the top of my head!) ... more>>

Reviews are first with the description of the book listed under, since I personally always felt frustrated unable to see descriptions in rec lists!

Forewarning: I'm a casual reader (I've only hung around this fandom for five or more years), and like any person have preferences! I'm what you can call a picky eater, but in general, most of these are novels I'd recommend to other people! <<less

Unlimited flow is a genre that encompasses a multitude of different themes, typically in a survival game setting. It involves puzzles, action, logic, horror e.t.c.... more>>

I’ve tried my best to include mainly interesting plots/ exciting instances with good thriller/horror/action, comedic undertones or grim settings. Healthy relationships and power couple!

I highly recommend each of these! Please do try them out.

I tried to find as many translated UF/IF BL novels on Novel Updates that I could, but there may be some missing here. I haven’t... more>> read or finished reading all of the novels on this list, so I'm not sure whether all of these would strictly fit into the IF/UF category, but hopefully the vibes should be similar enough. Sorted in alphabetical order. Happy reading! (For a list of completed UF/IF novels, see "A comprehensive list of COMPLETED BL UF/IF, survival game novels"). <<less

MLs and Mcs are green flags. Neither will be abusive, manipulative, or overly controlling and misunderstandings will be toned down to comedic ones. I often... more>> see BLs where the MC doesn't treat the ML as well as the ML treats them, creating a hierarchy in the relationship that you can sense. If you are someone who likes to read plot-heavy stories that only show small snippets of BL, I don't think this list is for you. However, I will put in a few plot-heavy ones that has equally heavy BL.  All recommendations made here will be a HE (Happy Ending), angst will be close to zero, if not none. MCs will have character, i respect that some readers might like glass vase MCs that are there to highlight the male lead, but the list here will be mostly made of MCs who have a goal, character, and moral compass that they will stay true to throughout the story. Stories will be compiled from different eras, from ancient Chinese to medieval, to relatable modern, to interstellar. MCs will be pretty because I'm a face-con, following up on this, I might have one or two recommendations where the ML falls in love at first sight with MC. But you can rest assured that MC will not drag his ML around and lead him on endlessly. Translation standards are guaranteed.  <<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.

 Have fun reading! ♪( ´▽｀) <<less

novels with fleshed out main characters, or main characters that have compelling personalities. i'm not fond of the "one gimmick" type of mcs [i.e. they cruise through the novel with no interesting objectives, no compelling narrative, stereotypical personalities, etc.] so i've compiled all the ones i think are genuinely interesting to read about.... more>>

this list is mostly so i can go back and reread novels with my favorite characters because their adventures, in turn, also tend to be really fun. [ranking doesn't really matter tho] <<less
