Summary: Mo Ran, more like moron, becomes the evil Taxian-Jun in his 1st life after all the misunderstandings with his shizun Chu Wanning. He realizes his life as the emperor of the cultivation world is shitty so he su*cides. He regresses (it would be a spoiler if I explained how) to when he was 15 and along the way becomes more endearing as he realizes that is shizun is the best.... more>>

Full of knives and papapa that is essential to the plot and character development. Mo ran starts off as a dumb dog and basically becomes the ultimate gentleman, more specifically Mo Ran 2.0/Mo zhongzi. The romance is of course slow burn, but very sweet. 

1-100: Mo Ran starts to realize his shizun’s actually the most considerate tsundere alive.

100-200: Mo Ran regrets his scumminess from his past life.

200-311: They start to develop their love and anything else would be major spoilers. <<less

Summary: 800 yrs ago, Xie Lian was the Crown Prince of the Xian Le kingdom. He got banished as a god 2 times and 800 yrs later, he ascends for the 3rd time as a laughing stock. He meets Hua Cheng (aka San Lang or Fafa (Cantonese name for Huahua—Hua Cheng’s fandom name) imao), a ghost king who has watched Xie Lian for a very, very long time. There’s actual plot.... more>>

TGCF has the same author as MDZS. Hua cheng be like seriously insecure when Xie Lian can’t shut up about how hot the former is. Basically Hua Cheng fulfills his long-lasting 800 year old crush on the oblivious Xie Lian. He’s always respectful of Xie Lian’s choices and any anger he shows is from worry—rightfully so since Xie Lian stabs himself too much like how Kim Dokja dies too much for others. San Lang be calling Dianxia so fervently that I cannot anymore. <<less

Summary (I would be surprised if you didn’t watch The Untamed): As the grandmaster who founded demonic cultivation, Wei WuXian gets unjustly blamed for misfortunes by various sects/clans. He incarnates into the body of a lunatic abandoned by his clan and is later taken away by a famous cultivator Lan WangJi, his supposed  archenemy until WWX realizes Lan Wangji’s so in love with him.  ... more>>

Watch the Untamed for bromance, read the novel (MDZS) for BL. Lan Zhan (top) is so indulgent to Wei Wuxian. It’s cute. <<less

Simple summary: Humans forced in life or death games post apocalyptic event.... more>>

For those who aren’t that much into BL. EQ is action-packed and full of life and death puzzle games. Both characters are op, but I would personally say Tang Mo is smarter than Fu Wenduo. The romance is slow burn, but more realistic than some other BL novels. The main couple had actually met virtually although it was around chapter 130 when they realized that they had already met before the tower games started. <<less

The chemistry between the mc and the male lead is so good like the one with Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk. Card Room’s like a... more>> combination of Earth is Online and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint: the vibe from the main characters like that of Earth is online combined with how survival depends more on likability from Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.  <<less

Summary: Kim Dokja finds himself stuck in his favorite webnovel. He survives in a world of scenarios with beings called constellations watching. His cheat’s knowledge of the story plot to the end.  ... more>>

Although his existence has led to butterfly effects that basically undermines his cheat, he‘s actually very reliable even without his cheat.

Depends if you picture the relationship between Kim Dokja or Yoo Joonhyuk as a bromance or romance/BL. They even have a tale named “Life and death colleagues/companions”. Even though Yoo Joonghyuk seems very apathetic, he’s understandably so as he regressed to see his loved ones die multiple times, but he does deeply care about his comrades. The best trio is of course between Han Sooyoung/Sooyeoung, Kim Dokja, and Yoo Joonghyuk. The synergy between the main cast is well-paced and believable. The ending is a cliffhanger, but a heavily implied happy cliffhanger at that. It gives off similar vibes with Earth is Online. My heart still hurts for Kim Dokja...

WARNING: 551 chapters + angsty during the later chapters b/c of Kim Dokja... <<less

There’s a manhwa of the same title. Watch KrisPNatz’s video on Walk on Water for a hilariously accurate summary.... more>>

Summary; Basically about a straight to gay/demis*xual Asian in New York going into the world of gay s*x because of a debt to the Chinese mafia and then meeting a very hot director.  <<less

Watch the drama for bromance, read the novel for BL.... more>>

Two charismatic men with a deep history solving supernatural mysteries + eventual time travel. <<less

One’s blind and deaf. Usually, priest’s works are good if you’re looking for hints of a modern touch.

The main ship is not with Long Xuan, who is a scummy gong and a sociopath. It’s up to you to hate him. If you’re... more>> into a scum gong (not part of the main ship) liking the protagonist, then go for it although Luo Wei does not care for Long Xuan. The main + actual ship between Luo Wei and Wei Lan is so cute. Great reread value. <<less

Cute, transmigrated emperor kissing up to his transmigrated lover. A short read with the story coming back full circle.

At first, the gong is overbearing, but the relationship balances out as the shou gains financial stability. If you’re into cliche tropes of revenge, go... more>> for this.  <<less

BE CAUTIOUS (I added SVSSS because of MXTX) : Go for it if you want a short, fluffy, not as plot driven read. There’s too much dependency from Binghe, but it’s probably better than your typical overbearing, clingy seme. Bingmei is cute.... more>>

Simple summary: Clingy cute disciple with daddy issues + abandonment issues fangirling over his shizun. <<less

The mc’s such a sweetheart. He’ll eventually care for the love interest Lian Jun (I can’t tell which one’s the top/bottom since the mc is tall... more>> and jacked) quite early on likewise the interest to the mc as well. I prefer the mc as a top quite frankly. They both got each other’s back and the mc basically shows Lian Jun a whole new world of happiness. <<less

Meh. The top (Xiao Nian) is a rich and nonchalant pretty boy at first until he gets h**ny with Wei Ru Song and becomes an... more>> obedient childlike top similar to Luo Binghe. He’s protective over WRS for good reasons. At least Wei Ru Song with his martial arts skills can technically beat Xiao Nian. The novel’s completed with 30 chapters and both characters especially WRS are a bit dense in the beginning. <<less

The mc is the top/seme/gong who had neglected his chief male consort until the latter was the only one who stood by his side even... more>> in death. MC gets reborn/regresses to when he married the ML and vows that he will treat him with love. There’s a lot of fluff in this novel as the MC uses every chance to get closer and tease the ML. <<less

This is short, but very angsty in the middle. Kitagawa‘s such an innocent, yet h**ny and devoted top that he comes across as very lovable... more>> in his almost childlike love to Douno Takafumi. Takafumi is also equally devoted to Kitagawa at the end (extras). The main couple (Kitagawa Kei and Douno Takafumi) are happily together at the end...unless you read the last extra. <<less

Realistically speaking, it would be surprisingly too if your lover was suddenly revealed to be the opposite gender so I’m giving Hirosue the benefit of the doubt. Though Hirosue comes off as an a**hole, he does have his reasons, I guess...? Like Hako no naka, both of them are devoted to each other at the end. They are willing to make compromises and any obvious insecurities, especially from Matsuoka, are resolved by each other.... more>>

Matsuoka is hooked on wearing his ex-girlfriend’s clothes and going for nighttime walks into town, feeling the pleasure of being stared at by men wherever he goes. One night, after he is assaulted by a man during a one-off encounter, he is saved by Hirosue, a nondescript senior worker from his company. Drawn to Hirosue’s innocent and pure love, Matsuoka continues to meet with Hirosue, all the while dressed as a woman, until Hirosue finally confesses to him. Narise Konohara’s pinnacle of achievement portrays the pain and beauty of unrequited love and has also been adapted to a theatrical play.Contains 2 short stories (published in earlier editions) “Of Tenderness” (Itoshii koto) and “Of Love” (Aisuru koto). <<less

Funny af because the novel hits so true of the cliches of the quick transmigration/system novels. This novel basically is a parody of said tropes.... more>>   <<less

Also by meatbun doesn’t eat meat aka author of 2HA. Understandably, Mo Xi is pissed at Gu Mang.

Non typical quick transmigration story without the mc being forced into capturing a character. Mc’s with the system.

It was adapted into Word of Honor. The switch game is strong with this one.
