My comments and ratings on the BEST BL out there that I've read over the past 5 years.  Completed as of January 2024 and will start part 2 list soon. ... more>>

I have a soft spot for strong MCs, unusual relationship dynamics, plotty action, and a well-developed side character cast. I tend to prefer feel-good stories over dark, overly complex ones. These stories don't have everything I like, but they're all great for at least one aspect. 4/5 = like it, 5/5 = love it! MXTX novels not included because they are classics. 

Let me know what you think or if you have MTL recommendations! <<less

Danmeis which have been recommended to me and I want to check out in the future. This will be long...

Because I'm picky.... more>>

Every unlimited flow novel I read is really just a desperate attempt to return to the way I felt reading Liar Game for the first time ten years ago. *lights up a cigarette and takes a long drag, staring vacantly out into the distance*

Note: A lot of titles have had their links removed from NU due to some recent concerns about copyright. I'm not entirely clear on the situation or when/if they'll be returned, but they are still out there to find if you want to read them although there are potentially hoops to jump through to get to the actual texts. Some of the novels are removed for other reasons, such as being officially licensed in English, and I've tried to make a note of those, although I haven't really kept up to date with the status of the super popular novels that are missing or marked incomplete like Husky and his Shizun (aka 2ha). I pretty much just assume that these are in the process of being licensed. If you want to read them, you can find them. <<less

waiting for it to finish Part 3~

Cold MC~ 

(Some of these novels are ongoing, and some I have not completed, so this list is subject to change at ANY time)... more>>

Notes contain mini introductions of the MC (with information from the first few chapters) and what I like about them. I also add novels that have potential to be great reads with promising MCs. But if they repeatedly annoy me, they are off the list. <<less

Hope I can move these novels to my other lists!

list of danmeis i’m (patiently) waiting to have complete tl! 

Basically novels that I want to read 

This list has all the danmei novels I've read that I gave 4.5 to 5 stars. They are listed in order from highest to lowest.... more>>

Rating system: 1-10 score for each of these categories:

Character — hopefully self-explanatory

Plot — is the plot good and is it well paced?

Language — quality of the writing; may not be super relevant to you, since I'm reading in Chinese

Premise — if you sum it up in 2-3 sentences, does it sound interesting?

Logic — are things believable and consistent within the context of the story?

Interest — basically how willing I am to give up my sleeping time to read the book lol

Then I average all the scores and if it's 9+ it's 5 stars; if it's 8-9, it's 4.5 stars. 

Note: Reading these in Chinese, so I don't know anything about the translation quality or completion status of the translation. <<less
