After reading on NovelUpdates for 7+ years, this is my ongoing list of novels that were actually worth my time. I will mark which novels are for casual reading or not worth re-reading.... more>>

- No specific genre or plot types. 

- Mix of het, BL, and novels with no romance for the protagonist.

- Some healthy and some not-so-healthy relationships, but this is fiction!

- Some are more plot-heavy with lots of feelings, while others are for casual reading or a break from tragedy. 

- Novels by MXTX and any novels with official English localization not included on the list. <<less

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

 It's too wide of a range to specify a particular type, just that they are all BL's. Most are completely translated, some aren't.

If you're tired of reading fluffy novels (just like me rn) then this list is for you, all novels that are listed here are BE/SE... more>>

HUHUHU why the f*ck did all my lists disappear. 

*in no particular order*... more>>

-pain

-BE or HE is fine but there must be obstacles in the middle...., angsty

-crematorium

-ML doesn't care about the MC from the start (or ML does care but doesn't know how to express it) but once MC is gone from their grasp (death/ coma/ near-death experience/ breakup?) they finally realize what they let slip from their fingertips. 

-or after all the disappointment and hurt, MC doesn't care anymore and it's the emotionally constipated ML's turn to chase.

I will write my opinion on each novel whenever I have time. <<less

These are collection of tragic novels associated with unrequited love, betrayal, tragic fate, abusive character, and inhuman treatment. Most novels is about MC who find their misery is enough, want to get away from toxicity, and cherish what their tattered soul left. Not an easy journey ofc, since these worlds were created for MC to suffer. However, MC's spirit to be free is what highly valued. ... more>>

The other novels are purely angst that hurting the heart and shivering the bone.

There are many more heart wrenching novels i've read but not listed in here. I can't stand humiliation without victim ability to prevail it over and preperator's redemption. So this type of angst not listed in this list.

ATTENTION
