- Good plot w/ Happy Endings?

- Check my reading lists cause they're all gathered there. 290+ BL novels and adding more everyday :) <<less

these are the high-quality BL translations that i've read from the Yaoi/Shounen Ai categories; the ones that I go back to re-read again and again~... more>>

Happy Endings, Fluff (or at least good feels), and Ass-kicking only! I don't really read many angst/modern drama novels. <<less

(Actively updated.) When I first started reading on NU, I wished that there was a rec list with long descriptions of the novels so I knew what I'm getting myself into instead of having to check the synopsis of each individual novel. Couldn't find any, so I created one. Here it is. Arranged from best > worst > boring reading experience.... more>>

Disclaimer; my "reviews" are my own personal, biased opinions. I'm terrible at being systematic & putting my thoughts into effective sentences, so 90% of the novel descriptions in here are just me rambling. I usually only drop & rate novels after I've read at least until c.35. Also, I like to change my ratings & reviews sporadically. Feel free to suggest more novels and/or argue with me.

[5/5] - Truck-kun would shed real man tears at these masterpieces.

Below [4.4/5] - Truck-kun would shed tears of a disappointed Asian parent.

[3/5] - Truck-kun would hit them (again), maybe then they'll transmigrate and become a better story. Replaceable at any time.

("|| STATUS: [ ]" is my reading status as of typing the novel's description.) <<less

Some need to be in a jail-room, others need to be in a therapy room, and the MC needs to be in a courtroom to get a restraining order against them... Unless he's into it, in which case, who am I to complain? ... more>>

Edit: Woa, I never expected that many users to like obsessive MLs, feels great to see those with the same 'guilty pleasures' as mine (I don't feel guilty though, not because my taste is good but because I lack shame). We're out here bonding over unhinged guys lmao. Also, what's your ideal obsessive ML? I'm quite curious, so feel free to comment it below. 

Personally, I prefer MLs who are usually ruthless and somewhat cruel to everyone but the MC, whom they treat with utmost love, care and respect, of course they're still 'toxic' in a way they wouldn't leave the MC alone or ever separate from him, but to make him stay, they'd rather pamper him to the hell and back than use torture or abuse. A big plus if they're paired with sly and morally grey MCs.

Edit 2: if you see random words censored, it ain't me. NU just recently started doing that out of nowhere :/ <<less

List of BL novels with an obsessive/possessive/yandere male lead that I enjoyed.
Sorted roughly from most obsessive to least obsessive (I used to have a bias for QT novels, though). Favorite to least favorite where I couldn't decide. Numbers 60~75 are mostly just there to fill the lower ranks, and numbers 76~91 are novels that need more updates or that I'm planning to read. <<less

Series with Yandere, Possessive and/or Obsessive MLs.... more>>

Shou/Uke/Bottom Protagonist for all of these!

Novels closer to #1 are ones ive personally finished and enjoyed. Only includes novels I have read, but not necessarily liked (ie. the latter novels might not be as good)

Recommendations are welcome! <<less

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.

Consent.is.Important. 

I have only included the ones I have read.

If you have novel recommendation(s) please comment.

Note : Novels which are not available on novelupdates can be found in comment box. <<less

Transmigrating/reincarnating into a  villain/cannon fodder character and trying or not to avoid death flags and counterattack.... more>>

1 ~ 24 = Yaoi/Shounen Ai

26 ~ 44 = Josei/Shoujo

45 ~ 46 = Seinen/Shounen

47 ~ 50 = Yuri/Shoujo Ai <<less

These novels are ranked according to the amount of readers they have. If you're suprised by the ranking, then trust me, I'm also suprised to begin with lmao. I thought some novels, such as 2ha and Silent Reading (because I hear about them EVERYWHERE), would rank a bit higher but the number of readers said otherwise. ... more>>

Not sure about Silent Reading, but in 2ha's case I believe it could be because, compared to other higher-ranked novels (like The Legendary Master's Wife, Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil etc etc), it's pretty new and once its popularity sky-rocketed, it got published with eng translations and the fan translation was removed, so about 40% of readers of this novel probably bought the novel instead of reading it on NU — which is why they didn't add it to their reading list and those readers weren't counted.  <<less
