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

Current reads

Good BL novels that you likely missed because of their undeserved low ratings.

Mostly dogblood and angst, high quality writing. Some are very dark, so check tags before reading. A mixture of personal favorites and most memorable reads, the books that stuck with me so far.... more>>

Most of it is danmei and all so far are Chinese webnovels, but I read whatever I find interesting and don't really care where it's BL or BG, as long as the characters and plot are interesting and the writing is good. <<less

Includes Transmigration

As the title says. Short stories and novels that have an actual story, relatively interesting characters, and also smut to some extent. Quality of smut... more>> varies though. All are stories I've read (and mostly completed). For some of the titles the translation left out the smut - google raw title and you can find some sites which have it. Some authors like Ka Bi Qiu and Shui Qian Cheng also use AO3 (under pseudonyms) and Haitang /Longma (free but you need to register on the site) to upload smut chapters. Otherwise sites like shukuwang are a good source. <<less

Novels originally published on sites other than JJWXC. Not sure of the current status of some works, i.e. whether they are locked/may be locked in the future.... more>>

A list of books whose descriptions or reviews interested me. I will read eventually. These are a mash up of sub genres with LGBTQ leads.... more>>

This got so big, I separated it into two lists: Completely Translated and Incomplete Translation.

Getting so big again, separating out into historical vs modernish settings.

If you have any suggestions on other novels to put on this list, please drop a comment. <<less

My list of danmei novels that I truly love, with amazing plot and world building, interesting characters, and good translations! ... more>>

I really like unique stories so I try my best to find stories with unusual and refreshing plots that are different, though sometimes clichéd and trope-ish stories will be included if executed well, also since it’s kind of my guilty pleasure ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ 

I really enjoy tragedies with happy endings, psychological and angst so be prepared for dog blood in some of them! I include both popular and underrated stories, though I’m definitely trying to dig around the more underrated ones I’ve read and newly discovered ones to recommend.

I’m a very picky reader so I don’t add stories frequently, but still regularly so!!

I update this list when I find a book i enjoy extremely!! <<less
