These are the novels which has good plotline and smex scenes. I have included short novels as well if their is a considerable plot. (Some novels even after having just 10 chapters can have good plotline)... more>>

Degree varies; whether the scenes are detailed or not is mentioned

I personally prefer such novels where 'willing' physical intimacy is also shown. So descriptions are based on my likeness to the relationship.

I have only included the ones I have read.

Prt 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/37919/?st=1... more>>

High Quality BL (slightly more serious) reads set in modern/futuristic setting--or perhaps jumps between time through transmigration. This list is a part of a series classified by genre (because I have too many novel to fit otherwise) ; other lists of this series include Thriller/Action, Fluff, and Ancient Setting 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

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

-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.

 ****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars (purely subjective, take it with a grain of salt). 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 (most likely the unread ones). But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone. 

PSSS. Though not fluff, there will be some Feel Good (have more of a plot) novels here. <<less

This list contains a lot of spicy, thrilling and action-packed stories. Most characters are tough, bold and aggressive.... more>>

Enjoy your daily dose of manly, rough and furious men! <<less

No description.

this list will consists of the ff:... more>>

boss-sub relationship, teacher-student relationship, entertainment industry, transmigration/reincarnation, any elements related to modern settings. <<less

(There's a second list out. Just add a 2 to the name of this list and you'll find it) ... more>>

These are some of the BL novels with seme protagonists that I've read and love. There are so few BL novels with a seme protagonist, which is sad. Well, I'll add the ones I've read so far and like or the ones I can somehow tolerate. And I'll add as I read I guess, so bear with me. Arigato

 P. S. Y'all can recommend similar novels too in the comment section (doesn't have to be a seme protag too, I'm open to new books, can't always find 'em myself) (^o^) <<less

[*This list already completed its 100 novel limit. Thus I have created a 2nd once for the same. If interested you can check that out  Gentleman/Considerate Boyfriend (BL) 2.0 https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/46710/?ft=yes *]... more>>

The ML is gentleman and considerate; dots upon his partner; respects him & his decisions; supportive. They can be jealous, possessive or a bit rough in bed (consensual, obviously) but they contain all the above mentioned qualities as well.

I found many MLs who maybe doting but are kinda jerk to their partners or too much bully or tease. They are good in their own terms too but I still like the well behaved type. <<less

The tags are unreliable, so no need to pay attention to it. However, there are few that’s angsty. Anyway, did it for my own. ^+^ 

Completely translated novel that ive read :)

No description.

All the novels here have a top/seme/gong mc.

No description.

Basically a novel dump of all the BL I've read. All completely translated. Some have made me ship so hard, cry, laugh, break my heart, filled me with happiness, love life, hate life, thrown me in hornee jail !!! A variety of tropes as I usually enjoy a good mix. I hope this list will help those who are just stepping into the Boys Love world or are looking for new reads!... more>>

 Sadly, I still can not remember the name of the novel I want to reread.
This list is finished. I will post the link for part two in the comments.  I have more novels to add but I need time to search up their specific name. Just remembered some and wanted to add them. I will be taking more time to explain each novel.

Anyways, Enjoy! <<less

Link to List 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/35232/... more>>

First list…

These are the BL novels I’ve chosen to read and complete and then personally rate between 1 and 5. 5 almost always being an absolute read again! (Order of books are from best to worst). I tried not to give away plot details (keep an eye out for the SPOILER ALERT! to avoid any plot points when reading reviews). My reviews are based on personal satisfaction and opinion, once completed.

This list contains a mixture of plots and character types in the BL genre.

Note: This list contains completed translations as I try to avoid reading ongoing translations as I lack the patience.  <<less

The MCs of the list are comparatively active ones. They can be dense before the relationship like Wei Ying but they get enlightened sooner or later (≧▽≦).
They may or may not be the first one to fall in love.... more>>

It may sound weird but before reading 'Advance Bravely' novel I almost came to believe that in all the Chinese BL novels, One partner is always reluctant or passive; well it maybe noted that I haven't had read that many BL novels before it; this novel enlightened me.

I have only included the ones I have read.

If you have novel recommendation(s) please comment.
