basically e-sports / game related bl novels i've read + some personal opinion about the novel, biased, so don't take it seriously. your taste and... more>> mine might be completely different <<less

Prt 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/54466/?ft=yes... more>>

These BL's have left lasting impressions on me in the past years. This list includes the thriller/action/horror/mystery/crime genre. This list is a part of a series classified by genre ; other lists of this series include Ancient Setting novels and  Modern/Futuristic/Transmigration novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list. 

So what is my subjective version of a quality BL of this list?

-No/little plot holes & well developed plot/mystery

-Actually thrilling

-Capable MC and ML  (not aggravatingly s*upid and know when to respect each other but also put their foot down at the right moments). . 

-Lasting impression. I made this list by memory so if it's not on here...Chances are it's not worth remembering for the list. 

-Good development of all characters--including side characters--as long as the main focus is the main couple.

-Make me cry, laugh, yell or gasp. Perhaps all at the same  time. 

*****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *."

PS. Novels I've read are the only ones rated according to number. The rest (unread) are just listed randomly. 

PSS. There are always exceptions on this list that don't fit the requirements. But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone.  <<less

Unlimited Flow/Survival Horror/Game [BL] - pt 2 :... more>>

https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/67811/?ft=yes <<less

Everything I have read, I added to this list. BG? BL? No Romance? It's all here.... more>>

(Not in any order and mostly CN) <<less

Because 100 is not enough.

All kinds of UF in BL. They're just so perfect together, BL & UF. [in_love]... more>>

If you're new to Unlimited Flow (UF) or just getting to know it, here's a definition for you to clear up your confusions and misunderstandings about UF.

Unlimited Flow = A genre featuring horror, challenge, and survival games. A character summoned into unique spaces separate from the real world and have to complete tasks, generally stuff like puzzles, survival or horror games. The final purpose is to survive. 

(Definition not mine, credits to unlimitedflowdanmei.carrd.co)

Some of the novels listed in this recommendation list doesn't have UF tags, but I added them due to their horror, mystery, supernatural, and survival (game) tags. 

All of this have romance, depending on the novel, the romance may or may not be the main plot of the story. Though, romance is mostly a subplot and slow romance on UF.

I finished most of it but not all of them are completely translated in English.  I continued reading most of them in raws relying on mtl. You might see my reviews on some of the novels here, since I liked to write reviews most of the time.

They're not ranked from my favorite to least. They're ranked in alphabetical order. [ocd_alert!]

I'll continue adding novels every time a new one caught of my attention [domineering_president_posture], since I love this combi. 

Thank you! I hope my list helps you! [wink] Love you all.

(P.S. There's a part 2 for this list.) <<less

Notes contain mini introductions of the MC (with information from the first few chapters) and what I like about them. I also add novels that have potential to be great reads with promising MCs. But if they repeatedly annoy me, they are off the list. <<less

[3/6] 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

List of Quick Transmigration and Unlimited Flow novels I’ve read at least 20+ chapters of :). You can just ignore comments I make, they’re mainly to remember how I felt after reading each novel. If I read a QT/UF novel not on novelupdates, I’ll put it in the description :).... more>>

~看见我的猫了吗？[无限流] (Have You Seen My Cat? [Unlimited Flow]) 

Read up to chapter 152. Really good so far and creative instances. Some last longer than others. ML still doesnt know MC is his cat atp in the novel, and their relationship can’t be said to be good or bad, basically acquaintances. 

~Is It Better to be a Beta? [Quick Transmigration]

I’ve read this novel twice already, but haven’t thought about just putting it in the description. It can be read on the CG website or WebNovel app. Second-hand embarrassment + a bi, h*rny and morally questionable man + a system that acts cute = this novel. Does have the ML-split soul cliche, but has its own play on it. Interesting twist on world hopping into novels with low reviews. 

~不要睁眼[无限] (Don’t Open Your Eyes [Unlimited Flow]

On chapter 73. I’m enjoying the different dreams, and like that there’s layers of logical and illogical parts intertwined in each one. First one made me the most uncomfortable (in a good way). I don’t think any amnesia is involved this time, just find ML’s ambiguousness toward MC since they met a little questionable. But I think they’re both just strange people. <<less

Personal selection of BL novels that I love and would like to reread again and again

No description.

[Actively being updated.] All of these are, IMO, must-reads. Hands-down some of the best novels here. I've also included my own personal ratings and opinions of each of these novels. Well-written stories, great plots, characters, etc. I have relatively high standards for these to be my favorites, so these are all really high quality. I can't recommend them enough! coincidentally, all of them also have very high ratings (4.3-4.8)
I haven't finished writing reviews/ratings for all of them yet, but I will in time. Meant to be ordered by highest personal ratings -> lowest personal ratings, but haven't had time to fix it yet. These are also my own opinions and feelings regarding each novel, so... more>> they won't be particularly eloquent, and you can definitely disagree. It's just me rambling.

Also added some ones I haven't read but will read and I know i will love. Feel free to recommend any danmei too!

...somehow, this also turned into a list of danmei I also want to read, not just a review of the ones I've read. I really can't control myself from looking for good danmei. Though, I'm sure I'll get to reviewing all of these someday <<less

My absolute favorite genre. Hopefully, some of my other faves get translated soon so I can link them here as well!

In my opinion, these are the most engaging and exciting BL stories on the site.... more>>

Also, here’s some Korean and Chinese BL comics I like (most Shounen-Ai so it’s romance and not smut):
