Stories that involve idols groups from managing them, a more romance-focused one or being in an idol program! A review will accompany each to give you an idea of what it's about and a tag if it has any cp/romance and what type! List is done randomly as I am trying to remember the ones i've seen!... more>>

Feel free to comment below if I missed out on anything! I'll check it out and add it to my list if it fits! <<less

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

You can browse up and down if there is one on here you like. The one before is likely to have similar aspects to the one after and so on. These are in the order in which I read them, as this list is mostly for my own sake. I like shorter, completed trans, reinc, time slip, QT with fantasy romance, game elements and systems, and bl. I love sweet mindless fluff stories and mature stories that make you think also rl game menu status plates. Some stories have these, some don't. I have attached a summary, thoughts, and where I've read to as the notes. I didn't filter what I put there, so beware-... more>>

[DESCRIPTION] –The description of the novel.

[ROMANCE] - Indicates if there is romance in the story or not. For me personally, I always base the novels that I read if it has good romance, since in some instances the romance completely ruins the story for me and sadly makes me drop the novel. In addition this helps categorizing what kind of romance genre it is, i.e yaoi, yuri, straight, shounen ai.

 [STATUS IN Country Of Origin] – Indicates the status of the novel whether it is completed or still ongoing, as well as a to compare it to the tl status.

[TL STATUS] - Indicates how far the translation team/person are. I added this in for I was sick and tired of sorting the story status to completed, finding a story that piqued my interest, then finding out it the tl chapters available aren't finished yet, really puts a frown on my face :( #stopthetranslationrickroll

To note I may be a bit late in updating the tl statuses as this list has many novels and I simply can't keep track of all of them. 

Recent update to the tl status was on: 07/9/23 <<less

List of bl genre novels. ... more>>

Read, laugh and cry. 

This is my list of favourite bl novels, I specially like romcom and mystery/horror genre sooo you can expect the novels to be more excitinggg!!! I mostly like both mc and the ml in these novels. Ml was doting and powerful. Mc was also powerful and clever. 

Survival game/Escape game. 

ABO(Alpha, Beta, Omega) world. 

Cultivation- master/disciple romance. 

Live broadcast/Variety shows. 

Horror. Some may contain mu*ders and gore. 

Fluff school romance novels.  <<less

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
