High Quality BL: Recommendations and Rising Stars (Fluff Ver.)
High Quality BL: Recommendations and Rising Stars (Fluff Ver.)
It's always nice to take a break from heavier novels and read something fluffy and light-hearted. Better yet if it's high quality fluff. So here ya go. This list is also a part of a series classified by genre (because I have too many novel to fit otherwise) ; other lists of this series include Thriller/Action, QT/Modern, and Ancient Setting novels. I tried to include both known and unknown novels to give more diversity to the reading list.
So what is my subjective version of a quality BL of this list?
-No/little plot holes
-Not aggravatingly weak or s*upid MC
-In most cases, a respectful, long legged, hot asf ML
-Makes me smile and blush
-Don't have that many requirements for fluff....because well...it's fluff. It's not supposed to be deep.
****I have also included BL novels that have high expectations from me. The higher the expectations, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *."
PS. Novels I've read are the only ones rated according to number. The rest (unread) are just listed randomly.
PSS. There are always exceptions on this list that don't fit the requirements (most likely the unread ones). But it's not bad to explore out of your comfort zone.
PSSS. FME= novel has been added regardless of NU rating because it looks like it has potential or/and the reviews love it.

My ultimate comfort read. I look at this novel with adoration man. I love the MC and ML so damn MUHC and I just wanna hug my MC for how strong he is. As a person who doesn’t even have gaming knowledge, it was great to see the MC play games to the top. Really a good novel for those not even interested in E-sports. It is more on the light hearted side, but a great novel nevertheless when you want to take a break.... more>>

The author constructs stories that are truly special from many novels of this genre. Also her writing style is quite interesting, infused with this awkward yet savage, dead-silent humor that is enjoyable even when nothing substantial is going on. So many elements! There is a rich character-relationship dynamic (as in all relationships between any character feel alive). There are dimensional characters (wow, characters beyond their given archetype!) The slice-of-life isn't boring (finally!) And we have a shameless yet studious MC x cold and even more shameless delinquent ML. It can get deep, but keeps its light-heartedness even then. I really enjoyed it and do recommend. ... more>>

I love this author so damn much. As the tag suggests, very slice of life but the pace is just right and the romance is warm and relaxing. And the smut—goddamn very unexpected kinks in there. Never seen an author ahem create a unique type of sexy dynamic in all the novels she writes //////// . This is very different from her usual novels in the fact that it’s slice and life and less conflict involved. It's more like just depicting life. Calm and peaceful with some occasional waves. Some reviewers find it boring, or too slow-paced, perhaps it feels like there are too many fillers; I found it ok as long as you are... more>>

Ok fair warning here: I include novels that don't have a high NU rating sometimes. Mostly because the summary is interesting and there are barely any reviews. So I can't trust the rating at that point. So when you see a low-rated NU novel, instead of skipping it (I used to do this a bit), give it a chance! If you have given it a chance and don't think it should be on this list, feel free to DM me and I'll remove it with decent justification.
@AmNut Obcess Aw thanks
Edit: I just processed your username lmaooo
@Kyaaaaaaaaa yeah, all my bias died was so depressed haha. And got hooked with Passion series and now I feel empty after reading all the novel series.
