My favorite type of ML, the title refers to their appearance only. Some may not be entirely pretty or beautiful but are described as someone not exactly masculine as a whole. Comment some recommendations:)... more>>

TBH I can’t remember most of what i put in this list so if some dont fit the description im sorryyy. I just put the novels from my reading list to this list and most of what I read have pretty/not so masculine looking semes <<less

Please recommend me more of these, anything with the similar vibe.

main CP is Shidi (Gong) x Shixiong (Shou)!

older bottom, younger top bl <3 not in any particular order. 

Ml is either neglected or misunderstood while Fl is spiteful/competitive towards ml.... more>>

If I had a nickel for every time there's a story about fl being jealous and competing against the younger ml for her parents' love and the company/business, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened thrice. (Actually it's not. Please recommend me more stories. I live for this ) <<less

Easy, cute, fluffy reads.

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:... more>>

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, "***, **, *." <<less

BG. Series with younger brothers as male leads. either it's a stepbrother, half-brother or bio brother (though I prefer the first two way more).... more>>

If there is a younger brother ML but he is non-virg*n, a playboy or scum, I wouldn't put it down here. I prefer cute virg*n younger brother or the obsessive yandere younger brother trope.

Manga with younger brother ML that I like: Binetsu Kuukan. Game with younger brother ML that I like: Shun from Watajuu. <<less

completed

No description.

I would pretend as if I were color blind to the red 

mainly in the literal sense but sometimes also in the spicy sense~... more>>

{bl stories with family conflict/neglect/ab*se/abandonment themes, lots of found family situations, most have devoted and doting love interests, some may have relationships involving age differences/age gaps and/or love interests who are father figure or mentor types like a shizun, teacher, yifu, guardian, boss, superior, etc. so please mind the tags if that's not your tea} <<less

No description.

s*um gong/ not ending up the s*um gong/ misunderstanding 

Bl novels I’ve read

all books I've finished+ personal rating (my opinions about them)

These are the one's i enjoyed reading the most and would probably read them again.

List of novels I've read and left a deep impression on me. Novels that I wished I could read it again for the first time.... more>> *Not on the right order because I cannot decide which one should be in the top rank <<less

At what age does a person have to be before his love can be justified?... more>>

the list contains an older FL/ML with atleast 3 years age gap. There is joy in age gap.

When FL is older than him, ML is usually a loyal and clingy puppy. 

Whilst,

When ML is older than her, FL is treated and pampered like a baby.

Please follow the list if you have the same weird taste as mine.

***Sorry. I'm boring so NO Yaoi, Yuri nor harem and do tell if you have recommendations.

Recommended novels not linked to NU. Most are less than 100 chapters including extras.. (titles and synopsis in the comment section, mtl'ed but decipherable) <<less
