High Quality BL: Recommendations and Rising Stars (QT/Modern/Futuristic Ver. Part 5)

I have finally gotten to part 5 after two summers. As I always say, the more the merrier. My other genre lists may be facing discrimination, but hey, what can you do? Not gonna do any extra description, mostly because I've done that for my previous lists. BUT...Some things to note:

1. I have not read all the novels on this list YET. All read novels are on part 1 with the according reviews. I made this list so I could have something visual to look at when looking for good quality novels to read. I judge "good quality novels" by seeming reviews and ratings or perhaps the book has an interesting premise you don’t usually find.

2. I look for a capable MC and a subjectively respectful ML (I'm not big on non-con), but that doesn’t necessarily mean every book I put here fits that requirement. Once again, there are always exceptions.

3. I don't like looking at the rating of the novel when there are barely any reviews. Thus I look at the reviews. If the reviews (even scarce) like it, it has potential. Thus, FME indicates that a novel has been added regardless of NU rating. PLEASE please please take that into regard! Do not skim past a novel just because it has a low rating. I may have a lot of FME reccs here, but I did do my research on them (jjwxc-wise +) before adding them!

4. The higher the expectations for BL novels I have not read, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *."

Summary:

There was a legendary player known as Wing who appeared in the pro league for Gun King in the Chinese division.

He landed his shots with deadly precision and absolute confidence. Under his leadership, a third-rate team in the minor league clawed their way to the major league, ultimately winning the annual championship and becoming the strongest dark horse in history.

However, Wing suddenly announced his retirement after winning the championship. Many netizens had speculated on the reasons for his retirement. No one knew that he was an Omega suffering from a “pheromone disorder”.

Five years later, the Chinese national team was eliminated in the first round of the Gun King World Championship. The national team’s coach resigned on the spot under pressure.

In a time of crisis, Jiang Shaoyu, who was once known as Wing, returned to China and was entrusted with the position of the national team’s coach. The national team was a mix of both good and bad players who couldn’t get along with each other at all. This was especially true for certain Alphas who would quarrel the moment they met.

The assistant was full of worries, “These gods can’t be controlled at all!”

Jiang Shaoyu: “It’s fine. Leave their training to me.”

And so, Coach Jiang started his daily sharp tongue mode——

“This is the standard of a player on the national team?”

“Are scripts even needed when playing against you? I can win even when playing casually.”

“Are all of you inters? Giving free kills away one after another?”

“If you can’t defeat the others, just delete the game then.”

The glib-tongued Coach Jiang, who had a tendency to never swear when training others, once scolded the entire team until their mental states had collapsed. That was until one day, they saw the scene of Coach Jiang secretly injecting Omega inhibitors into himself.

Everyone was collectively dazed, “This fierce and savage coach was actually an Omega?”

“Even if he’s an Omega, he’s the boss kind that cannot be defeated even in a team fight!”

A gaming god: “Seeking help. How do I write a 1000-word self-reflection essay?”

A popular streamer: “I’m not streaming today. I’ll face the wall and repent.”

An amateur king: “Who am I? Where am I? Why am I even playing games? I really doubt my life.”

An Alpha youth: “What was the experience of being scolded to tears by an Omega like? As we cried more, we got used to it.”

The netizens: “???”

Why does something feel wrong with this year’s national team? <<less

Summary:

One day the sun changed, and nature re-established her laws.

Blue sunlight gave infinite vitality to all things, but it also became unbearable for the species that had been long accustomed to the golden sun.

To live or to die? Adapt or be eliminated?

In this cruel test, the species with lower levels of evolution and simpler structures adapted faster. The lower the IQ, the more ignorant and fearless the animal is. They exposed themselves to the unfamiliar sunshine early and accepted the judgment of nature. The sooner they pass the test, the sooner they can start to reproduce and seize resources.

And what about humans?

Human beings avoid the sun because they are afraid of danger and would rather live in darkness.

Because they possess advanced technology, they can create various living conditions for themselves.

But can they really compete with nature and exist outside her new rules? Is it true that no matter how many casualties there are, mutations are inevitable? Then what kind of contradictions and turbulence will human society experience, in the replacement of the old and new races?

The protagonist, an ant tribe*, suffered the attack of the end of the world, lay on his deathbed, and silently confessed that the thing he felt most guilty about was when back in high school he abandoned a sick puppy and didn’t save it. After rebirth, he did not give up on the puppy again but made a different choice. Then one day, this dog named Rhubarb said that he was a descendant of the Inugami*.

What are the benefits of being a descendant of the Celestial Inugami? It is, of course, cultivation. However, Rhubarb said that the Dog Clan’s way of cultivation is not taught to outsiders. If one wants to cultivate, one can only marry into the clan.

Ant tribe* (蚁族, “ant tribe”) It refers to a low-income and poorly-housed group including ordinary citizens, migrant workers, college graduates, and technical school graduates who live in crowded groups in cities.

*Inugami (犬神, “dog god/spirit”), like kitsunetsuki, is a spiritual possession by the spirit of a dog. <<less

Drama Fantasy Romance Yaoi

Summary:

Qin Mingyuan transmigrated. To be precise, he transmigrated into a danmei [BL/boy’s love] novel set in the entertainment industry. He became the second male lead – with the same exact name – who was deeply in love. To put it bluntly, he was a simp – the protagonist’s devoted admirer who provided resources and money. What a foolish, clueless, dog-like character!

He couldn’t understand but he was greatly shocked. How someone could be so s*upid!? Most importantly, this kind of idiot still bore his name! And he himself was now stuck in this idiot’s body!

Well, in that case, sorry, the devoted second male lead? Doesn’t exist! Emotions only affect his work efficiency!

Qin Mingyuan, the CEO of Qin Corporation who had always been like an unblooming iron tree [when the iron tree “blooms”, it means that the stoic non-feeling character falls in love], fell for the young master of the Yun family who was in the entertainment industry. The Yun family. previously unknown in the elite social circles of A City, became under the limelight and signed numerous projects that were previously unattainable to them. Who knew how many people were envious of such success.

However, the young master of the Yun family was difficult and continuously rejected his advances. Later on, the Yun family’s young master even got together with a movie star. That movie star was from another top elite family in A City, the Liang family. The onlookers were amazed by the young master of the Yun family’s resourcefulness.

…

Later, they appeared at the same banquet, and the melon-eating crowd was eagerly anticipating a show. Unexpectedly, CEO Qin didn’t even glance at those two individuals. He walked straight up to the Yun family’s half-disabled young master, bent down to hold onto the armrest of his wheelchair, and said in a deep voice, “Why didn’t you wait for me to come in with you?”

Onlookers: ??? Wasn’t he interested in the young master of the Yun family? Did they get it all wrong?

Pretending to be super stable, introverted, dark-bellied gong & a on-the-surface refusing and shy wheelchair-bound shou (whose legs can’t be cured)

Reading instructions:

This is a fluffy romance, 1v1

The bottom’s legs can’t be cured, absolutely can’t be cured, don’t ask, if you ask, I’ll get mad.

It’s a fictional world, and same-s*x marriage is legal <<less

Summary:

As a real young master of a wealthy family who was taken away by mistake, Chen Mo has never understood why it was him who was lost outside for seventeen years, and everyone still liked the fake young master Yang Shule, so he fought hard to fight, to grab, and to rob. In the end, his parents hated him, he was abandoned by his relatives and friends, and he died unexpectedly.

So after rebirth, Chen Mo thought it over.

Laughing makes you ten years younger, and going to bed early can help you live till old age.

Not long after returning home, his biological parents asked him: “Chen Mo, do you think your brother… Can he still live with us now?” Chen Mo said sincerely: “As long as you are happy.”

Aunts and uncles praised the fake young master during festivals. Chen Mo drank the wolfberry and red dates mixed soup and nodded repeatedly: “Yes, you have good taste.” The people around him openly and secretly compared the two of them, mocking him for not being worthy of the identity of a real young master of a wealthy family. Chen Mo slept soundly while soaking his feet in medicinal water: “Isn’t this a fact? Just keep talking about it, you can even go out on the streets with a loudspeaker.”

Others: “…”

Later, people found out that this real young master picked up by a wealthy family is best at three things.

Eating, sleeping, and being gay.

Not only is he gay, he also dumped the excellent student in his grade, who was the childhood sweetheart of the fake young master. Chen Mo felt extremely wronged. Xi Siyan, the cold-faced devil, didn’t like him in his previous life. How did these people came to think that he dumped him.

“How about I explain it for you?” Chen Mo tried one day.

The person leaning against the wall looked down at him and raised his eyebrows: “What do you want to explain?”

“You, Xi Siyan, will have nothing to do with me, Chen Mo, in this life, the next life, and another next life.”

The person in front of him kissed him with his hands in his pockets, and said coldly: “Now I do.”

Chen Mo was shocked; Xi Siyan! You dog forced me ! <<less

Summary:

The end of the world came, the land was barren and food was scarce. The nightmare beasts destroyed the earth and hunted the living. Living had become the luxury of all things. And when the world fell into the abyss of despair, a miracle suddenly appeared.

The messenger generously rescued the living creatures, hunted the nightmare beasts, and established the last pure land in the last days.

Humans called it – the city of hope. — The socially anxious He Fang had been in his house for three years, and his daily business was to eat, sleep and play games.

One day He Fang suddenly went out and found that there were very few people on the street, and all were handsome men and women.

Suddenly a ragged beggar rushed out, hugged his leg and cried: “Lord, please let me stay.”

Socially Anxious He Fang didn’t know what to do, and hastily pulled up the kneeling beggar and fled the scene of the crime. Behind him, the beggar looked at He Fang’s departing back, he was touched by the Creator, it was like getting purified. The crowd looked at the beggar with envy and jealousy. “Lucky guy, to have gotten the Creator’s mercy!”

“Let him work for me, with him, maybe I’ll have a chance to get the Creator’s gaze.”

Back in the house He Fang cried and ordered a milk tea to comfort his wounded heart.

The Main Lord had mercy on the world, accepting the humble to worship and harvest faith. However, the perfect Main Lord wore a yellow takeaway uniform when no one was around, and his fierce beast became a small tram. The takeaway car with two small wheels ran fast to deliver to the creator.

The Main Lord looked in the rearview mirror, combing his long blonde hair, as he worriedly asked the beast: do I look good today? Can I attract the Creator and start a delivery boy love story?

A few moments later he returned, filled with disappointment: he didn’t see me, he asked me to put the take-out outside again ooooooooooooooo.

— He Fang opened the infrastructure game he had been playing for three years — the doomsday city-building.

The statue of the main lord within the game was crying.

He Fang: “Is this some kind of quest? Is there another disaster somewhere? Or did the nightmare beasts attack the humans again?”

Mandatory quest: comfort the weeping Lord (please offer your precious kiss to soothe the Main Lord).

He Fang climbed up to the huge statue, stood on its shoulder, put his hands on its cheeks and kissed the corners of its eyes. <<less
