basically e-sports / game related bl novels i've read + some personal opinion about the novel, biased, so don't take it seriously. your taste and... more>> mine might be completely different <<less

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

im tired of all the wuxia and xianxia (not you tgcf, ily) lists, if nobody's going to account for my niche thEN I WILL BAKE MY CAKE AND E A T IT.... more>>

notes: 

• yeah that's right, I'm going to give you Funky Commentary ft. Questionable Opinions for the entirety of this rec list

• i try really hard to organise this from most to least read but ngl, that's really hard to do with executive dysfunction (also honestly I love nearly ALL the novels in this list haha *eyes EIC*)

• ngl i have a certain bias towards horror comedy so if you're here for the really f*cked up sh*t You Will Be Slightly Disappointed,, onlyalil (starting to realise my thirst for horror bl is making this just look like the search results when you tag horror and shounen ai SKFHSDJ)

• no hate for wuxia and xianxia lovers btw, ive just exhausted all my care in trying to find SOMEONE who understands my inherent Need to see more horror bl <<less

This Infinite Flow list deals with stories, usually horror and survival in nature, which summon or transfer a protagonist to a world where they must complete tasks in scenarios to live. I included here some magical realism works.... more>>

The following recommendations would be labeled whether they belong to BG, BL, GL, or No Love Interests. There is no ranking in my list, it was just according to the time when I chronologically added the novel inside this list. <<less

I include my fav . So its easier for me to find. Most of it I've completed. ... more>>

Edit: I'll slowly delete my rating cuz I think I'm sucks. Seriously! The order ain't specific XD <<less

Also know as "I can quit at anytime"... more>>

Apparently a list can only hold 100 stories??? Who knew?

Second edits are usually final thoughts after I finish the novel <3 <<less

Sorted in alphabetical order. Happy reading! (For a list of ongoing UF/IF novels, see "A comprehensive list of ONGOING BL UF/IF, survival game novels"). <<less

my favourite danmei novel, unranked. good stuff!

Stories with reversible couples, couples with non-traditional top/bottom dynamics, and couples where the position is not relevant to the story (and hard to identify).... more>>

For "manly gay couple" some characters may have traditionally feminine traits, but I consider them a "manly" couple because they do not play an ersatz "wife" role in the story. On the other hand, stories with bottoms who are outwardly masculine but play a wife role in the relationship would not be considered a "manly gay couple" in this list.

A "traditional" top-bottom dynamic is primarily defined here as one where the bottom is an ersatz traditional woman. Certain danmei-specific tropes that make a character easily identifiable as the bottom or top could also qualify.

Older brother - young brother dynamics are only considered non-traditional if the shou is also on the more masculine side / clearly does not play a wife role. <<less

List of Quick Transmigration and Unlimited Flow novels I’ve read at least 20+ chapters of :). You can just ignore comments I make, they’re mainly to remember how I felt after reading each novel. If I read a QT/UF novel not on novelupdates, I’ll put it in the description :).... more>>

~看见我的猫了吗？[无限流] (Have You Seen My Cat? [Unlimited Flow]) 

Read up to chapter 152. Really good so far and creative instances. Some last longer than others. ML still doesnt know MC is his cat atp in the novel, and their relationship can’t be said to be good or bad, basically acquaintances. 

~Is It Better to be a Beta? [Quick Transmigration]

I’ve read this novel twice already, but haven’t thought about just putting it in the description. It can be read on the CG website or WebNovel app. Second-hand embarrassment + a bi, h*rny and morally questionable man + a system that acts cute = this novel. Does have the ML-split soul cliche, but has its own play on it. Interesting twist on world hopping into novels with low reviews. 

~不要睁眼[无限] (Don’t Open Your Eyes [Unlimited Flow]

On chapter 73. I’m enjoying the different dreams, and like that there’s layers of logical and illogical parts intertwined in each one. First one made me the most uncomfortable (in a good way). I don’t think any amnesia is involved this time, just find ML’s ambiguousness toward MC since they met a little questionable. But I think they’re both just strange people. <<less
