Only the novels I’ve started in 2025 (I’m still keeping up with some from 2024 *cough*Assistant Manager Kim Hates Idols ).

I consider myself quite picky when it comes to reading novels. And in liking a story, I consider these: (1) the quality of translation/way of writing; (2) the plot/twists; (3) the characters (I hate braindead mcs and side-characters). ... more>>

Here are some stories I enjoy and currently reading. I also included ratings on how much I like them. Maybe you'll like these too? ♡

I haven’t read all of them yet. This is a to-read list of BL novels I’ve compiled, featuring stories set in fantasy worlds (historical or... more>> modern) filled with magic, awakened individuals gaining supernatural powers, and/or thrilling dungeon or gate adventures. These novels also include ranking systems where characters rise from F-Class to S-Class, alongside heartfelt relationships and epic battles.  <<less

Hunter/Awakener/Player/Ranker/etc., Gate/Tower/Dungeon/Rift/etc., as well as series that are basically the Hunter genre, that are also BL. This list includes series that I have and haven't read: if I'm missing any/added any incorrectly, or if you have any other suggestions, please leave a comment so I can fix it!... more>>

Guideverse series are included when the setting is close enough to being a Hunter story - there are Gates or other ways for things to invade from other dimensions, there's monster fighting, they're actually called Hunters, etc. Sometimes the "Hunter" setting is only a background setting and you don't actually see it much in-story, however.

Guideverse that's also Hunter/Awakener (includes series that I removed from/didn't quite qualify for this list): https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/108374/

I like action with BL romance (this is purely hunterverse with no guideverse)
