intriguing novels that kinda subvert from the typical bl cp dynamic, character identity, narration, or world setting bc i get tired of reading the same... more>> formulaic stories sometimes (don't expect everything to be green flag stories) <<less

Where both the main characters show mutual possessiveness and borderline obsessive behaviour for each other. (Or the obsessive one in the relationship is not gong but the shou). Both parties are equally involved in the relationship. No power imbalance. ... more>>

You can also recommend any such novels that I should add in this list. <<less

All these mcs (in my opinion) stay true to who they are and what they want. They don’t allow the ml to control or influence... more>> them, unless that’s what they want. They each have their own strength either mentally or physically or both.  <<less

these stories weren’t just words on a page—they were worlds i stepped into. some spoke to me gently, others ripped through me without warning. they held mirrors, and reminded me how deeply humans can feel. these are stories that left a kind of quiet chaos in their wake. the kind that don’t scream for attention but hold you captive in the quietest ways. stories like these aren’t just read—they’re seen. and remembered. ... more>>

in short, these are novels that feel complete and kept me awake.

as a self-proclaimed seasoned reader, i am hoping and highly recommend giving these captivating stories a try. :)) <<less

My preference would be modern novels. Be it thriller, crime investigation, school life or slice of life.

First will be crime investigation, then school life and then other genres

Novels I've read and greatly enjoyed. I can't call all of them my favorites because there are too many here, but each of them somehow touched the strings in my heart, making me always return to them when I am in the reading slump or desperately looking for something similiar. Different genres, mostly all HE. Perhaps not all of them deserve to be put together since some are better and some are worse, but I found all of them extremely enjoyable. ... more>>

English is my second language so I read some of these in different languages, and the translation matters(!!!), some of them don't have decent English translations so you might not find these novels as appealing as I did. 

The order is random, but the most decent reads are probably at the top since I added them in the order how they came to my mind and it's obviously natural to think of the most remarkable ones first.

I'll try to leave small comments if I'm not too lazy~ <<less

I hope you guys found them interesting as I did. Will continue updating as I finished more reads. ... more>>

If you have any suggestions for me, please drop them in the comments! I would love to check them out <<less

I have another list of my top 5 star BL’s, but since I am very picky, there are not a lot of novels on there... more>> (oopsie…) so I have decided to create another list of some great BL novels that are still totally worth reading :) Also these are NOT in order of my favorites so heads up! <<less

Just a compilation of sweet BLs I personally enjoy.... more>>

Might have MPREG, Omegaverse etcs <<less

no specific tags or genres….the only metric used for this list is my personal taste and preferences. idgaf abt how high or low they’re rated on nu i will honestly rate and review these novels based purely on how much i, laoniang, enjoyed them haha. ofc if i remembered a novel enough to include it i probably enjoyed it to some extent.... more>>

novels are in no particular order (of rating) and list will be updated as i go (feel free to drop recommendations). note that this is NOT a list of recommendations, more like my personal tracker (ofc, most of the highly rated novels here are the best of the genre imo) :)
