By "good romantic story", at minimum: no bs that isn't justified or explained, or is overly done; romance is not offensive, neither lead being an as*hole to each other; romance that isn't overly dry or has too much drama; leads may be either slightly stereotypes or codependent but at least it's cute and they are not 2d but the sides may be a little; chemistry is good and story plot is mediocre or vice versa... more>>

At best: independent badass leads where the romance is a build up of them doing their own thing and getting to know each other; solid world building; 3d characters all around; fluff that makes you happy and not bored to read; there is actually good plot; there is life beyond romance but the romance makes it nice to read too

[6/6] a list of BL's I actually read at least 75% through + the on going ones that i really like! LOTS of BL!! this is from a series of recc lists (check out my BG recc list AND my other BL recc lists [GL coming soon !!!] !!!) that i'm making for my own reading log with hopes that other people might give them a try as well! ... more>>

currently organized in descending star rate order !!!

♡ 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

Various genres. I prefer smart, calm, or easy going characters. Not much dog blood found here. All the novels where the translation is incomplete, I finished reading via MTL and found the MTL very understandable. The quality of the novels in this list ranges from 3-stars to 5-stars, but I found them all enjoyable reads and would re-read them again.... more>>

Continued in BL Recs, Non-QT 2 list. <<less

These BL novels have pulled me in and I am committed to finishing reading once the translation is done.
