Novels I want to read again and again. 

sometimes is better to cut off your parents rather than continuing to suffer. here we have some protagonists who do just that.

No description.

I loveeee when the MC or ML has to take care of a child that is a younger sibling/cousin/nephew or niece. Especially when they are already struggling and there's at least somewhat absent parents. ... more>>

I love it be the MC, ML and the child become like a little family it's so cute.
A lot of these will be school life but I'll try to add others.

It's also very hard to find bc they sometimes aren't put under the younger brothers/sisters tags and they are also not under the childcare tag so I'll try my best. Let me know if you know of any! <<less

Where the plot contains MC being switch at birth or at young age with someone. Stories here also include those of similar trope as the CENTER, such as someone being kidnapped/lost/died at a young age and the family took in someone else as a sort of "replacement". Tier is base on when they are added in this list: with the higher number being the most recently added and 1 the oldest. ... more>>

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.

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

Characters in BL novels that I can’t help but absolutely hate 

These novels are a bit deranged, but in a very realistic sense. The main CP has either believable coping mechanisms, or mental illnesses based on... more>> their past. There isn't an ML or MC who was ab*sed that got revenge "all according to plan" with no mental issues (basically the MC or ML pays a price from the beginning and only gets their just rewards after fighting tooth and nail for it). There is fluff but its an angsty fluff and a oof-ouch-pain feeling when they need to support each other. <<less

Danmeis that has absent prents, abadoned theme, shitty, abusive family and or relatives, complex family relationship and any other trauma inflicting roles on the book... more>> characters because i love pain. <<less

Novels whereby:-... more>>

- MC decides to finally let go of their abusive family after trying relentlessly to gain their love/attention/recognition

- MC stops seeking out familial love after trying and failing again and again

- MC stops fighting (greentea)/(white lotus) sibling for parents love/attention

- Often there is an element of Rebirth

- MC's sibling usually has some sort of protagonist halo that causes their parents and those around to act as though their braincells are off line
