BEST CHINESE BL NOVEL

I don't like abusive, dog-blood drama, and weak characterization. I don't like Imbalanced Couple where the Seme/Gong is too Overbearing. I don't like weak, femininized, Uninteresting/Lackluster Uke, or bratty/silly Shou whose IQ drop drastically when encountering the Gong.

So these are a few novels with good plots, and mainly consist of interesting MC and good ML I strongly recommend. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NOVELS IN THIS LIST IS RANDOMLY LISTED WITHOUT FIXED RANKING, and also these are only novels that I HAVE READ.
This list will randomly be updated if I find another worth noting novel.

I saw this novel was quite popular in JJWX. The summary reminded me HEAVILY towards MDZS. How the MC died, reborn in a good for nothing, finding his former "enemy" somehow apparently love him, well, similar to how WWX and LWJ dynamic, right? Even from the novel's title, it reminded me heavily towards WWX's sword in MDZS, that was named "Whatever". It reminded me about how a protagonist with a WEIRD sword's name. Thus, my attention got caught. ... more>>

I want to give you a recommendation since we have the same taste from your list You should try Mu su li's novels, like Global Examination, First Class Lawyer, Copper Coins, like all of them have a balance relationship and I love every CP in there (especially qin jiu and you huo). You should also try God Level Summoners, it's an e-sport novel with of course a balanced relationship where both the mc and ml are a captain of their teams. Oh, and MIst, that one, another gem, you need to try it. I hope you'll try one of my recommendation and tysm for your list

I think you should read First- class lawyer by Mu Su Li. You might like it since both leads are equals and there also some mystery.

  Thanks for giving me a recommendation! TBH I'm pretty stuck with BL novels lately, since the plot keeps getting similar and similar. This kind of lawyer setting reminds me of Ace Attorney, lol, and I like that. I think this should be interesting!

  You can click on every title of those novels and you will be directed to the page in here, novelupdates, where the novel translation (done by fans) are posted. All of them are in English.
  Though, if you're asking about an officially published or printed novel in English, then among all of those novels, only The Founder of Diabolism and Heaven Official Blessing that have been officially translated in English, and will be available in December 2021, while the rest...are not officially translated :)

Hey I have found some good novels thanks to you, so I was thinking of leaving you a recommendation of my own that I think you will like: Global University Entrance Exam. Badass Shou x badass gong, strong couple, survival games and good plot. The dynamic of the couple is delicious. It's the type where you unravel mysteries little by little. The first few chapters can be a bit confusing but it's worth it!
