This list contains worth noting BL novels that are recently complete in translation here in novelupdates. All novels are rated 4.0 and up and have an interesting premise so it should be quite decent enough to read.... more>>

Enjoy reading! <3 <<less

Collating and sharing titles I'm interested in for easy reference

High Quality BL (slightly more serious) reads set in modern/futuristic setting--or perhaps jumps between time through transmigration.  I try to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. ... more>>

Things to note if you all come at me:

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 (for example, a brat ML with character development). 

3. I don't like looking at the rating of the novel when there are barely any reviews. Thus, I look at the reviews (which have completed more than 1/2 of the novel). If the reviews (even scarce) like it, it has potential. Thus, FME indicates that a novel has been added regardless of NU rating.  

PS -->The higher the expectations for a novel, the higher the stars (purely subjective, don't take it too seriously). Hence, "***, **, *."

PSS --> Though not fluff, there will be some Feel Good (have more of a plot) novels here. <<less

The best BL novels underrated by either popularity or rating, updated as I read. Ordered loosely by quality. All genres included, but mostly modern or interstellar.... more>>

All stories will be 1v1 and HE. Personal rating on Plot, Characters, Romance, and Humor/Tears if applicable. I'm strict on the individual ratings but overall every novel included is a solid ★★★★★

Disclaimer that underrated is very loosely applied here and it's more so just my favorite novels. <<less

ONLY based on my own preferences~~~~~

An alphabetically ordered list of books chosen out of the 520+ completed books I've read on this site that I find to be very compelling in plot and style. ... more>>

- Contains niche books, so if you don't know what next to read, give this list a try
-Most on the list are not fluff, since those tend to melt my brain from boredom after a while (though I have read many, many)
- ONLY completed books (a few do end in cliffhangers, but I will note them)
-I didn't think I read this many BL books, but probably more than half is BL (don't blame me, blame the ones who are translating so many <.<) <<less

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.

Life’s hard, man. In this rec, you’ll find novels with characters that move forward from their tragic past and from societal standards, characters that find a way to live for themselves despite a system, plot, entity, or life from preventing them to do so. ... more>>

This list includes strong, courageous characters that disobey the system, original plot line, and fate through the ability to think and desire to choose their own happy ending. From world hopping to transmigration novels, these characters have dignity, grit, and values - both of which they are not willing to break regardless of what a system or entity says. 

-  includes transmigration novels where the characters struggles, suffers, or is punished for disobeying the original plot line; and characters who are able to fight the charms and effects of their own system and other people’s systems

- includes characters with grit and defiance to fate: characters that have been reborn or transmigrated way too many times, characters in game and different worlds that are trying to survive and find their own happy ending, despite the plot and other characters preventing them from doing so

- includes characters who portray growth; includes characters who are able to make peace with their past and move forward and find their own happiness <<less
