BL novels that would make Truck-kun shed tears (+ long reviews)
BL novels that would make Truck-kun shed tears (+ long reviews)
(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.
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.)

You have some really good novels listed here with such good reviews. I recently read Erha and your review perfectly summarizes my feelings — “I thought I could never forgive him for the awful things he did to ML. As the story went on, I found out more about his past and the REAL reason behind his attitude, I sympathised and cried for him. I could feel his regret, his hatred for himself, his confusion, his insecurity, and most importantly, his sincerity for the ML. I can't say that I forgive him but I can't say that I hate him either. It's a complicated feeling, to say the least.” — this is exactly how I felt.Reply · 2 Likes · 1 · 0- segitree· Author · Sep 18, 2021 01:26 AMErha is really a whole package of emotions haha. Nice to see that we have the same feelings about it!Reply · 1 · 0

I need help finding a bl novel, I forgot the title but it's an entertainment industry based light hearted novel where fans thinks that mc and ml are dating/married due to them coincidentally wearing same rings and clothes in public when in reality they don't even know each other.Reply · 1 Like · 1 · 0 - Sakura Natsume· Feb 25, 2024 01:46 PMYou literally read my heart with this list, you’ve got ALL my favs and I’m so excited to read the rest! ☺️✨Reply · 1 Like · 1 · 0

altho I see you have dropped it by your review, don't mind if I ask if you have reread "Mistakenly Saving the Villain" again? Its pretty tiring to get the password from the website right now but I do recommend it a lot. I discovered it from this list and was attracted to it. I completed it and the rating is not a lie since its actually really good. The world building and the plot logic was splendidly written well and the hints around the mystery and the plot twist which was slowly revealed by the author in the end was amazing. I wanted to recommend it to you cause its one of my favorite novels, and I wanted to hear you're thoughts and reviews..? But if you have already completely read it, then I wanna hear what you think of??? Thank You!!!╰(*´︶`*)╯Reply · 1 · 0- segitree· Author · Jul 5, 2022 05:40 PMohhh! well if it's really as good as you say, then I don't mind trying to re-read it again! I guess I've judged it too quickly.
