notw: most reviews r very old and cringe… sorry <<less

[NOT RANKED]... more>>

I'm tired of the double standards, third parties, unnecessary drama, scumbags etc. This list features extremely devoted couple! 1v1 HE. Totally safe to read. 

Gong (Seme) and Shou(Uke) are each others first & only s*xual partner; first & only love.  (Either it's explicitly mentioned, mentioned by the author, mentioned between the lines, or assumed in some cases if no other partners/ prior experience is mentioned). No exes, cinnabar moles, substitutes etc. 

No other partners in case of a seperation or breakup. 

No getting r*ped/ assaulted/ kissed/ mol*sted by passerbys or supporting leads. No love triangles or leading others on. If there's a harem it should be dismissed by the end. If either Gong or Shou are actors, then they should be the type that doesn't do intimate scenes. 

No kids involving other women (surrogacy). No marriage of convenience with other woman. 

P.S I only have requirements for the main cp. 

********************************
I'll try my best to eventually mark the details...

PART 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/80741/ <<less

These novels are those that I deemed worthy of being called one of the High/Top Tier BL novels out here. ... more>>

There are also novels here that aren't BL but I still included them (in the list and in the comment box) to bring such masterpieces to your attention.

Also, those with a ⭐ are the ones that occupy a space in my heart! They are very special to me and I will read them over and over again!

10/08/2023. I will arrange my lists in the future! So excited!

tldr: ongoing bl worth waiting for, some currently reading, some i'm stockpiling chapters first... more>>

i hate reading ongoing tled novels because i would pause and ruin my momentum, my feelings would dissipate and not to mention it would end at cliff hangers. but even if i filter out novels by complete, i still end up falling for really good uncomplete novels that i can't get rid off. and so i'm stuck waiting for these to be completed slowly over the years. i've come to accept it </3 <<less

Beta MC, Alpha x Alpha, Female alpha x Male omega, and other kinds of untraditional omegaverse dynamics, worldbuilding, characters, and so on. Suggestions are welcome.... more>>

#01-40 BL. Alpha x Alpha, Beta x Omega, etc. Also Omega top x Alpha bottom.
#41-74 BL. Novels with worldbuilding and/or characters somewhat untypical for omegaverse (subjective).

A series of BL novels with varying plots and subgenres! Fluff, unlimited flow, xianxia, historical, quick transmigration, transmigration, supernatural, slow romance, comedy, mature (in terms of thinking and actions), etc. ... more>>

Minimal amount of angst and dogblood (if there's even any) (￣▽￣* )ゞ

Edit: I may have taken a bit of a liking towards angst nowadays... only a little. ( ˘︹˘ )

BL's I REALLY LIKE based on my own preference, and *coughs* I don't like s*upid MC's (*￣▽￣*)

Personally, I like MC's and ML's to have equal footing in terms of their overall personality, I don't like delicate shou tropes that much. 

And in my own, very subjective opinion, these novels have really good plots, or at least most of their logic is in the bounds of normal human logic. 

Note: Novels are not sorted according to rank, just depends on what I remembered first _(:3」∠)_ <<less

Prt 3: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/54468/?ft=yes... more>>

Welcome stumbling passengers or veterans to the second installment of this list. 

Somethings I never had the chance to note because I (also) filled up the description boxes’ capacity limit in the first list. 

1. I have not read all the novels on this list YET. All read novels are on part 1 with the according reviews. I made this list so I could have something visual to look at when looking for good quality novels to read. I judge "good quality novels" by seeming reviews and ratings or perhaps the book has an interesting premise you don’t usually find.

2.  I look for a capable MC and a subjectively respectful ML, but that doesn’t necessarily mean every book I put here fits that requirement. Once again, there is always exceptions. 

3. I don't like looking at the rating of the novel when there are barely any reviews. Thus I look at the reviews. If the reviews (even scarce) like it, it has potential. Thus, FME indicates that a novel has been added regardless of NU rating. 

 ****The higher the expectations for BL novels I have not read, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *." <<less

This is a list just to compile everything I read cause you know, can't keep it forever in my phone. not meant to be organized... more>> just trying to get all the stuff in one place.  <<less

this list is for the novels that i've finished reading, that you might like and i want to recommend to you (i might include some that i couldn't finish because ...(╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠))... more>>

note: you're safe here, not much angst cause my heart can't bare it

my ratings: no more ratings because your dear author is very lazy but everything here is perfect, amazing, good and decent. ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭ <<less

BLs with healthy relationships and cute interactions very much worth it , very well written and non toxic and importantly MC's with strong characters who... more>> don't piss me off  <<less

Books that I'm camping for~ Yes, I want binge read this so, waiting.

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.

Non-BL - https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/77777/ (That's where ORV is, as much as I would love to put it here, ehe. Wholly recommend that novel.)

Other good novels that just barely didn't make it to this list (mix of genres): https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/49840/

You're at the right place if... more>>

↬You're tired of: Non-con | Major power imbalance | Romanticisation of toxic, manipulative, and controlling behaviour. 

↬And you want: Novels that put emphasis on consent | Mutual respect, trust, and understanding between the main cp | Forehead pecks | Character development | Couple growth | Misunderstandings that get resolved through proper communication. 

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please make sure to first check the tags on these novels before starting them though, as some of them talk about sensitive matters (Mistakenly Saving the Villain for example) 

Also, aside from Saye — which holds a special place in my heart, rest of the list isn't arranged by my personal preferences but rather the covers, as I like to keep my lists colour-coordinated. However, if you were to ask me, my favourite healthy relationships out of these would be — Saye, Mistakenly Saving the Villain, Restricted Area, Heaven Official’s Blessing, and To Rule in a Turbulent World.

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please let me know if there's more novels with healthy relationships or if I accidentally added a novel which doesn't have one ( ˊᵕˋ ; ) <<less

Part two of the fluff galore list. 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. I put novels on this list when reviews look good, fluff looks huggable, and there's no s*upidity. ... more>>

Students, sit back and rest. You're doing just fine, and probably accomplishing more than you think you are. Just keep focused on your goals!

People out of school: relax from any stress! It's ok to make mistakes, or not be in the path you thought you would be ten years ago. If you're having a hard time at work, please take a breather. Sit outside on your steps or even take a walk outside. Everything will be just fine. 

Hopefully at least some of the fluff will make you feel happier and give you some warmth.

Enjoy!

PS. FME means I put the novel on this list regardless of rating because the reviews were mostly, if not all, good. I rely on reviews that have completed or mostly completed the novel, because lately there have been some dimwits just rating BLs 1 stars or 2 stars.

PSS.  I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *."

PSSS. All novels I've read and can provide some review and ranking are on part 1 of this series.  <<less

List of danmeis that threw me off orbit, rated and given commentaries by a picky reader. ... more>>

Rating components: 50% romance / chemistry / dynamic, 20% technical writing, 20% MC and ML characterizations, 10% plot. Reviews may contain spoilers (rest assured, I will put a warning).  

Edit: Added a song recommendation to some novels for funsies xD <<less

 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

[1/6] 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

* Random genres... more>>

* All HE

* Some novels I haven't read yet but think that they might be good because of the description, rating, and reviews.

*I believe all of the novels in this list are slow romance, and also love interest falls in love first.

*Most are shou protagonist, few(1-3) are gong protagonist (I think). <<less
