High Quality BL: Recommendations and Rising Stars (QT/Modern/Futuristic Part 1 Ver.)
Prt 2: https://www.novelupdates.com/viewlist/37919/?st=1
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.

Ok, so I remember really liking this one. ML was very sweet and supportive, and the MC was super strong and badass. Tbh, I can't completely remember what happened (I blame that on a stressful school year rather than...it being a lackluster novel), but I do remember liking it quite a bit. I'll probably reread this one when I get the chance and leave a review for it. ... more>>

Damn, I have read this...And gotta say. It is a RIDE. The orig. summary to this novel was actually ten times more hilarious but it's okay. Have to warn you all, MC, as implied in the summary, is lowkey a scum. Not his fault, but you won't know whether to laugh or cry for the ML.... more>>

It’s light hearted for the most part and a read if you like laughs, possessive ML, brutal+powerful+ innocent MC, and some mystery. IMO, I felt it could’ve been more deeper and emotional story, but I still enjoyed it.... more>>

***Not many reviews + BL-hating waves pulling down the reviews led to a lack of attention that has caused this wonderful wonderful novel to have low reviews. But it is an excellent novel. So do give it a try. It's truly something that deserves more recognition. Plus the cover is beautiful TT. ... more>>

Novels I’ve removed:
King of Classical Music: Honestly, it’s a good story but suffers from not having much substance and is also repetitive and predictable (I mean you can be repetitive and predictable, if you provide enough excitement, which this novel does not really do). MC practices more, plays good, everyone impressed, upgraded in status, yadyadada. It’s more of a slice of life, so I’ll refrain from bashing too much. One thing I really liked about this novel though was the romance—it was chefs kiss.
