That one BL trope where a straight guy can't help but have a bi awakening due to the charm of another sinfully handsome guy... (cue gay panic and awkward shenanigans). I had to create this list to feed my strange addiction (caused by Alessandra Hazard's 'Straight Guys' series)... Includes all types of BL, mainly danmei. Not including mpreg, ger fantasy worlds or omegaverse, just plain old ordinary BL (majority in modern era). Not ranked, but alphabetized instead because the list is getting long quite quickly...
A few books in this trope I've found that aren't translated yet, read completely:
《小饭馆》作者：修七 (c2010)... more>>

《重生之金盆洗手》作者：缘何故 (c2012)

《放学后别来我办公室》作者：提裙 (c2024) <<less

BG romance with capable female protagonist, or female protagonist stories with no romance. I really dislike ditzy romance heroines who are more interested in their outfits than beating up scumbags (you know, those kind of dodder flower heroines who need to wait for their hero to come save them). So this is a list exclusively for just strong female leads. Mostly Korean rofan, rebirth/return, action, transmigration, isekai or transported into book type genres. ... more>>

You can try checking out this forum post, where other people listed a bunch of Chinese strong FL recs that I didn't read yet (I also listed a few with only webtoon or manhua versions): https://www.novelupdatesforum.com/threads/have-you-read.181735/ <<less

Zero drama✓ Zero tragedy✓ Zero dog blood✓
Feel good BL, in modern or future settings. Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. These are... more>> basically the ones I forgot to add to the other list! See part 1 version of this list for even more titles: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87200/ <<less

Good BL with action, adventure, military, etc... when you're bored with plain romantic plots! Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Modern and future settings, mainly danmei... ... more>>

I tried my best to leave some trigger warnings on this list where I think some readers might find objectionable content (there seems to be more of that in dramatic and action oriented novels). I hope that people can take the genres labeled Adult and Mature as well as tags like R*pe, R*pist Becomes Lover, S*xual ab*se etc seriously. <<less

Quality BL romance stories with some dramatic plots involved (not action or adventure oriented). Be prepared with Kleenex! (╥﹏╥) ... more>>

Some of these I read several times because even though I don't like tragic plots, sometimes I like a story with heartbreak... I removed the action and adventure titles and put them in my Action BL rec list instead.

Modern settings only. Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Too many titles to sort in order of personal preference, so I sorted them alphabetically.

Zero drama✓ Zero tragedy✓ Zero dog blood✓
Feel good BL, mostly danmei, and modern or future settings (I removed the historical ones because they're already in my historical danmei rec list). Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Plot has little angst, since I don't like novels full of misunderstandings and dog blood. There were too many titles to sort by personal preference so they're sorted in alphabetical order. I personally read each and every one; I didn't drop any of them.... more>>

I realized I left out a few good ones in this list so I created a part 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/87244/ <<less

1 to 28: Novels I read completely (if not ongoing), sorted in order of personal preference.... more>>

29 to ?: Novels I plan on reading in the future, not sorted.

Male centric (male protagonist) novels in both modern and ancient settings, no BL unless it's a little bromance (meaning, author may have added a dash of bromance for fan service, but no actual shounen ai or yaoi included in this list). Shounen, seinen, xuanhuan, no-CP (no romance) or novels featuring a little straight romance but mostly focused on action/adventure (ie, romantic subplot). A few of these have romantic relationships detailed in extras only, such as Chronicles of Primordial Wars and Everyone Else is a Returnee. Thus, if you dislike romance or harem you can simply skip the epliogue/extras portion altogether.

Majority of these had fan translations completed at some point, so you can find them on various novel aggregator websites if the chapter links are gone from NU. Otherwise it's not bad to MTL them for yourself. <<less

Chinese BL set in ancient times, whether an alternate history on Earth or in a different world. These can be fantasy, mystery/case solving, xuanhuan, xianxia,... more>> wuxia, mpreg, ger, or just ordinary historical. Includes shounen ai, yaoi, and BL with smut. Sorted in order of writing quality/personal preference. Many of the stories listed are geared towards drama, but there are a few included that are more lighthearted romance. Note: many of these have official English versions (sold in a series of volumes usually), hope that everyone can help support the official publications! <<less
