High Quality BL: Recommendations and Rising Stars (QT/Modern/Futuristic Part 2 Ver.)
Prt 3: https://www.novelupdates.info/viewlist/54468/?ft=yes
Welcome stumbling passengers or veterans to the second installment of this list.
Somethings I never had the chance to note because I (also) filled up the description boxes’ capacity limit in the first list.
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, 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.
****The higher the expectations for BL novels I have not read, the higher the stars. Hence, "***, **, *."

Ok! Updated. Also, if anyone has read the FME novels and doesn't think it's worth considering because you have read it, just DM me and I'll probably take it off with decent justification.
Also, I've updated all my genre lists! Took me a bit but it was completely worth it since it was constantly on the back of my mind. You all now have mostly full lists to refer to! I'll probably be going incognito for a while because the school I go to is a bit rigorous in studies, and I have a lot of exams and prep work to do TT. But hopefully, I'll meet you guys again. Also, it is a bit lonely with all the comments being well..by me. So feel free to comment whatever here! Even if ya'll wanna bash my opinions on some novels, I will happily fight with you about it. Ok, that's all. See you all!
Novels I've read and taken out that you might've seen previously:
Marshal’s Cannon Fodder Spouse [Transmigration]- story is bland, predictable, and very slow-moving. In other words, I can sum up 90 chapters in just 3 sentences.
The Villain Slaps the Protagonist's Halo-it made me cringe. A bit too much. The "protagonist" was so blatantly a bad person it took away the face slapping tid bit a lot. It's an ok read, I'll give it that; it's just not worth this list.
Recapture the Entertainment Industry: So I have read it...Hmmm so it is objectively good and both the ML and MC are great dudes. Def is cliche though, and does have an avid obsession with unnecessary details and historical dramas...Not sure if it is my taste.
Experiencing a Happy Ending with a s*um Shou-I think I attempted it like a brave soldier then immediately put it into my "Not My Style" list. Can't remember why, but if it is in that list...Well. You are all welcome to disagree with me and try it out!
i m going to go through the novels in your list one by one coz i trust ur choice. Believe me its so difficult to find a good read bcz reviews are so deceiving and after sometimes u simply find yourself reading tr*sh. Have u added Mist in your list. if not do read it. It's a great novel :)
Yep! Absolutely love that novel. It is in my thriller/action version of this list series though. Honestly, these lists are very much me trying to sort through the good novels and pick the best. I originally just had one "Master List", but obviously I had to split the lists up according to genres since I can't fit like 400 novels in one list. NU simply says no to that.
With the trust, I'm grateful //// but do heed that the ones with ***, **, * I've never read...So I hope you don't rely too much on me for the choice. I usually choose them based on reviews and plot premise. Honestly, I think ratings are more deceiving than reviews. All of the perceptions (reviews) of the novel are neither true or false because they are subjective, but you can get a good grasp when readers of the novel try to evaluate them objectively--those are usually the reviews I look at (combined with the review star ratings) when adding a novel to a list. Sorry for the late reply btw, NU doesn't inform me when someone makes a comment on these lists.
Mentions I think have potential but it’s too soon to tell:
-Boss, Please Don’t Be A Maniac
-The Stranger’s Homeward Journey
-The Boyfriend Return Policy
-Greedy
-Typhoon Signal No. 8
Also, I don't really like adding novels I myself wouldn't read...But I'll include in this comment and update it accordingly when I see mentions you might possibly like.
-Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC
-Professional Body Double
-Where is Our Agreement to be Each Other’s Arch-Rivals? [Reviews are interesting to say the least..]
-Zhao Qin Mu Chu (this looks good, but the reviews, though praising it, make me question if it is my taste. I HIGHLY rec ya'll check it out because it might be to your interest neverthless).
