A list of the novels I've read 

Danmei novels that are of high quality, intriguing, and with well fleshed-out characters. Review added (or will be added, depending on my overall progress of... more>> reading).  <<less

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

*No particular order; I don't like ranking*

**Part 2 of list is out**

My preferred taste is FLUFFY, but I also sport for the occasional angst & tearjerker novel. Modern stories are personally easier to digest. Historical or xianxia/cultivation stories are loaded with Chinese references & I can easily get lost. However, they can be very poetic & beautiful, which is why I bear the pain of treading carefully. Unlimited flow is a fun pastime at the cost of my brain cells.  <<less

- I have no time

- personal preferences (too much angst, etc.)

Each BL has personal notes about its content and qualities according to reviews (ie. lots of angst, good plot, presence of female characters, heavy read, light read, etc.) <<less

no more looking up danmei recs but not writing them down n never knowing what to start next!... more>>

i don't read a/b/o, mpreg, prominent dom/sub dynamics, noncon/underage s*x, sex-focused plots in general, abusive relationships, mafia, first person pov.. also im not rly keen on master/disciple n apocalyptic settings but if the story is good enough i'll consider it

i like slowburn, strong characters, fantasy elements, some humor to balance the hurt n angst, and i love it when the men r a bit pathetic <3

(current reads at the top; updates added sporadically n places r often switched, this list is as messy as it gets) <<less
