This is basically just where I put all of the finished novels that I’ve read. Of course, there are a few in which I read... more>> the MTL so that might not count, but I hope it helps ya out. I sure know that I wanted a list like this. The list does include basically one or two novels that aren’t danmei, but it’s majorly just danmei so don’t worry too much. <<less

This is a sub category from my previous list...I thought about putting all the completed novels and cute short stories into a separate list! \(^@^)/

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

This is a continuation from my other list ah XD I reached the limit hehe

Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!

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

Pt 1 is here: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/16574/

Pt 3 (slowly updating):

You will find mixture of sad and happy novels here. Mostly one shots or very short novellas will be put here.

Less than 30* chapters, most are 1-15. Various genres but to be honest, it's mostly BL.... more>>

Sorted alphabetically so you might not easily see the new additions.

Edit: As I have been trying to finish longer stories lately, I added some short stories that I have not read yet but have a hope for and noted that. When I get to read them, I will review whether they deserve a spot on this list.  <<less

as in the title! only the stuff that I think is generally worth the time, best to worst from top down.

You're at the right place if... more>>

↬You're tired of: Non-con | Major power imbalance | Romanticisation of toxic, manipulative, and controlling behaviour. 

↬And you want: Novels that put emphasis on consent | Mutual respect, trust, and understanding between the main cp | Forehead pecks | Character development | Couple growth | Misunderstandings that get resolved through proper communication. 

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please make sure to first check the tags on these novels before starting them though, as some of them talk about sensitive matters (Mistakenly Saving the Villain for example) 

Also, aside from Saye — which holds a special place in my heart, rest of the list isn't arranged by my personal preferences but rather the covers, as I like to keep my lists colour-coordinated. However, if you were to ask me, my favourite healthy relationships out of these would be — Saye, Mistakenly Saving the Villain, Restricted Area, Heaven Official’s Blessing, and To Rule in a Turbulent World.

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please let me know if there's more novels with healthy relationships or if I accidentally added a novel which doesn't have one ( ˊᵕˋ ; ) <<less

Mostly oneshots and short stories. <<less

A LOT of people have lists I've used to find books I've enjoyed. This is my return favor; I hope others can use this to find novels they will really enjoy as well! ... more>>

Important notes - List is in reading order. not preference or any ranking system. My reviews are listed here as well just so you can see my thoughts. I tend to rate things more highly if I think the general rating is lower than it should be. I also tend to LOVE well written angsty stories, and character growth is DEFINITELY a plus. Spoilers are NOT HIDDEN because I couldn't figure out how to get them to work right. 

Top stories for sheer freaking emotional impact - 
Breakup Gift ** I Don't Want to be Loved ** Konyaki-haki sarete Me ga Samemashita ** Two or Three Things About Mr. and Mr. ** <<less

These are short stories or oneshots that are a punch straight to the feels. Mostly they're going to be ones that remind me of the... more>> best stories by great authors like O. Henry or Ray Bradbury because I like those writing styles. Lots of emotion in a tiny package.  <<less

This list is a collection of different novel genres. Please check part 1. Some are too short and some are long 2.

NOTE: Some of my notes about a novel might contain SPOILERS. Read slowly so you can stop in time after the warning. ... more>>

Novels I read that are not on NU (right now ig): 1. Did I Do Something Wrong By Confessing To The School Idol On The First Day I Transferred To A New School? (Good, but seemed rushed)

2. I Heard You Only Think Of Me As A Friend. (Pretty nice)

3. The Infatuated Cannon Fodder Quits. 《痴情炮灰不干了[穿书]》

I really like the ML in the story. He is a flirtatious, shameless, teasing, sensitive and sweet bastard. Overall enjoyed the story very much, definitely ended up wanting a dozen extras or more. 

4. After Crossing Into A Book I had s*x With The Future Boss. (I'm willing to bet mtl f*cked this title up but I'll let it be because it's funny) 

Raw title: 《穿书后和未来霸总HE了》

I feel like ML should've had some development in his character? He needs to loosen up a bit, atleast to MC, his lover for f*ck's sake. I'll give it a 3 out of five. Maybe 2.9

5. The Person You Like Is My Boyfriend. 《你喜欢的人是我男朋友》
su*cide warning, mental illness, very (sexually) experienced ML.

6. Forgot the English name, oops. It was an okay read, like 3/5?《给躁郁Alpha当抚慰剂》

7. Jade Wushang. 玉无双
A tragedy, I still think about it late at night sometimes. 

8. After I Came Back From The Future, I Tried My Best To Pretend To Be A.

我从未来穿回来后努力装A  (3.3/5) <<less

Some might seem to have 50+ chapters, but they're either extras or actually super short. ... more>>

I’m adding titles as I found them, and I might remove them again if they turn out to be subpar after I read them.

Excluded tags: omegaverse, mpreg, r*pe victim becomes lovers <<less
