No description.

sometimes i'm not down to read 200+ chapters back to back so i try to space shorter novels in between to let my brain unwind !! here's the completed/can be completed shorter novels that i've read !!! i hope it helps you find some solid ones !!!... more>>

(check out my BG recc list AND my other BL recc lists [GL coming soon !!!] !!!) 

♡ 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

Degree varies; whether the scenes are detailed or not is mentioned

I personally prefer such novels where 'willing' physical intimacy is also shown. So descriptions are based on my likeness to the relationship.

Swoon-worthy MLs, might have slight angst, and interesting build-up in character dynamics, and engaging twists and turns 

Mostly featuring charismatic, mentally strong protagonists with a sprinkle of silly sweet meng cuties.

My list of danmei novels that I truly love, with amazing plot and world building, interesting characters, and good translations! ... more>>

I really like unique stories so I try my best to find stories with unusual and refreshing plots that are different, though sometimes clichéd and trope-ish stories will be included if executed well, also since it’s kind of my guilty pleasure ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ 

I really enjoy tragedies with happy endings, psychological and angst so be prepared for dog blood in some of them! I include both popular and underrated stories, though I’m definitely trying to dig around the more underrated ones I’ve read and newly discovered ones to recommend.

I’m a very picky reader so I don’t add stories frequently, but still regularly so!!

I update this list when I find a book i enjoy extremely!! <<less
