--"my most special person is you" feeling that goes both ways... more>>

-Dote on each other

-Actually COMMUNICATE with each other, like actual functioning human beings

-NO r*pe 

-We don't tolerate MCs or MLs who overstep boundaries

-Angst, only if it burns GOOD

-Place their trust in each other

-fluff all the wayyy

-It'll probably be sad how short this list might be

Someone once told me "Fluffy couples are boring. Isn't it much more interesting when they have drama and misunderstandings. Or when they both hate each other and their relationship is explosive" and I get the hype around that type of romance, but honestly, we need to start normalizing healthy and communicative relationships because it wasn't until I was 18 years old that I realized I've been reading a ton of abusive relationships (that authors painted off as romantic) and it was these FEW novels in this list that made me realize "this is what a loving relationship looks like, wtf have I been reading?" Plus, fluffy couples are not boring. There's a way to keep the reader intrigued; it's called plot. Personal recommendation: Governor's Illness. So many times I thought the protagonists would engage in a hate-love relationship, but they NEVER hold grudges against each other, even when it seemed like they were the cause of each other's issues. Instead, the writer is skilled and doesn't rely on petty drama. The plot itself is suspenseful. <<less

Any novels with dead links or that are not finished were mtl .

(Updated: 11/23/23) BL novels make up a bottomless chasm that you can’t hope to get out of…... more>>

*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

⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Passable but won't probably read again or would reread if I get bored and want a familiar novel. 

⭐️⭐️ - Progressed significantly with reading and probably finished just to get it over with.

Both BL and BG (will say which it is) The novels that I actually read from beginning to finish and didn't end up skipping through. (I don't have much patience so if a story gets a little boring I'll start skipping through and then won't save it so these are the ones that I didn't end up skipping through) They are all HE because I can't deal with BE and for the most part their endings are satisfying with no super big loose ends that don't get tied up. ... more>>

The novels aren't in any particular order - (the beginning is just alphabetically backwards from the ones I've saved and then the later ones are just in order of when I read them)

I'm slowly going through the lists and adding my thoughts on the novels.... emphasis on slowwwllyyyy <<less

Are you a reader who's also obsessed with BL novels that has these tropes?? •MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE, ENEMIES TO LOVERS, STRAIGHT SEME/UKE TURNING GAY, WIFE-CHASING CREMATORIUMS, RIVALS TO LOVERS, SCHOOL LIFE, MPREG, SIBLINGS NOT RELATED BY BLOOD, IDOLS, OMEGAVERSE, GUIDEVERSE, SURVIVAL, TRANSMIGRATION, ZOMBIES, ESPORTS, SMUT, SECOND CHANCE. LOVERS REUNITED.... more>>

I do like to bawl my eyes out on some angst but ABSOLUTELY no-no to tragedy or bad endings, I read novels to escape reality and reading HAPPY ENDINGS is the only right way to do so.

CW: my comments aren't hundred percent accurate but I wasn't the type to point out shitty things frequently. Give me a HE and I'm all good. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌ <<less
